As an INFJ I see myself using both styles of Ni. For me I use analytical, strong focus; through my drive if I am doing something it needs to be connected to a biger purpose. But for me I tend to hyper focus on a couple overarching goals at once but of course this causes periods of burnout. For the holistic, Oracle; I am constantly putting myself in positions of guidance for others. I also share alot of spiritual wisdom within the faith that I am apart of. In a way I juggle hyper focus on my own goals, with hyper focus on getting others to achieve their goals and with a hyper foucus on making the world a better place; all that under the guidance of my faith.
@@GeekPsychology Wow that’s a great question! So, there is a kind of back and forth balance. So it would be focus on self, so that I can help others so that I can make the world a better place. Then circle back to fulfilling personal goals, which usually have something to do with making the world a better place or helping others like family fulfill their goals.
As an ENFJ I very often find myself helping others grow... Its like Fe allows causes people to be quite open with me about their direction and then my Ni knows how to make it happen for them. I think I lean more towards the yang side but I definitely use both. Thank you for the video! Very helpful explanations.
I find it fascinating how building on different cognitive functions can build our neuroplasticity. Specifically for me, Ni is built on pattern recognition. (starded in kindergarten) It is helpful to practice guessing what will happen in movies and books. Rewatching movies and looking for foreshadowing and clues can also help you to learn how to intuitively no what is going to happen in the future in real life, in real time.
@@GeekPsychology In kindergarten we had a list of min tests for kindergartners and if you could do them you got to fill in a balloon on your paper. Then at open house our parents saw us demonstrate our skills. I believe it was noted by the teacher that I had good sorting skills. My parents were proud that I could sort things in various ways such as color, size, shape, common use and other ways they could be grouped. Apparently I seemed more advanced than the other students to them. Also I was very good at knowing what shape will come next on texts.
There is something about INFPs that I trust them. Both genders. For Ni doms I think is smart to create a set of principles that you revisit daily and update them. And adding there probably at the top to trust your intuition, even if wrong, the feedback will improve it. And is also just fun operating this way - INTJ
nahh , ni normally is not a problem ni combine with other function is a problem , for example ni with fe enfj , esfjs manipulate but mostly for the tribe or a person's wellbeing vs enfj's fe-ni , enfjs also use fe to help people but there are sometimes where that fe-se takes over , using se badly is simply being a narcist , now person like that gets the ni vision and we all know what an angry enfj can do , we can also see that ni-se with entjs , i think during those cases only a better se user can control that ni (XSXP)

I will say I mostly use the oracle, but like a dog playing fetch. "Oh, the universe is throwing me a ball, I will chase it", sometimes I will find out i chased a ball that got me of my path, because I may realize, I forgot to figure out why I chased it in the first place.
INTP: Ni Style: Yin, The Oracle. The Oracle seems to appears to me when trying to translate theoretical. philosophical, or abstract concepts into poetry, prose and short stories (for other people, It could be music or painting as well).
@@GeekPsychology It has been tough for me to try; dominant Ti is active all the time. I would love to build a frame work for developing the Yang style of intuition.
@@pavithramelpal I'm INTP who can use Fi. I think it's because there was a point in my life that I was depressed for so long and you know how demon functions come out when you're depressed. My Fe basically became Fi. Now that I'm better, Fe is slowly creeping back but I've learned how to use Fi. I would say in the same level as my Fe.
I am INTP. I have come to know completely and Love who I am. I have achieved the success I have by not caring what others think of me. My Higher Self is the only connection I need to move forward in Life, Happy, Healthy and Wealthy. Good luck with trying to work through this stuff without the Higher Mind. Jung KNEW this.
Once again, i find that i was more yang in prior years, but I've since given up on those visions as they are no longer practical nor achievable. So i sit with my losses, and i churn every mistake. I tread in the empty, the void, the abyss. Call it whatever you'd like. I know where i am on this journey. Im stuck in a place where i can not accept various things that I've done in this life. Evil, cold, harmful things. To myself, as well as to others. This inability to face my darkness has left my "soul" scattered in the wind, shattered into a myriad of pieces. I know this is the final stage of the abyss, but i just can't let go of everything and everyone I've lost. I can't forgive myself. I refuse to.
I have so many characters. The turtle is actually just Si, though characters naturally take on aspects of their auxiliary function from my experience - making it ISTJ. The Ni one, the owl is actually INFJ for me. My INTJ character is actually 2 characters. Twin ravens.
@@GeekPsychology Oh cool, I find that very interesting - I was showing my wife some of the videos of the RPG models. Is there somewhere to look up which characters you chose for each personality? I delved into the functions and how (ISTJ) is the strategizing guardian and (ISFJ) is the unifying guardian. :)
Based on the statistical research, the "6th function" often gets developed, though not necessarily. That's Ni for INFPs and INTPs. (Data from the keys2cognition type assessment and also the Majors PTI.)

That’s a lot to hyper focus on ^^
What decides what to hyperfocus on and when?

Thanks for covering Ni, Matt! As my own dominant function, in particular, I appreciate folks hearing about its different sides.
Thanks for writing the book! 笑
I’m happy to share it and what I’ve learned from it.

Have you watched the Fe one yet?

Parts work is fascinating.
What experience stood out as the “inciting incident” for your pattern recognition, if you don’t mind me asking.

As an Ni user I consider Ni power a huge problem if it is in the hand of an unethical person. I wouldn't recommend to play around with it.
Yes there are pros and cons to every cognitive function lol

In fact, many books have been written about the dangers of the spiritual world. I have heard little about it on TH-cam.
@@kataiwannhn
that's just christian (and I guess muslim too) viewpoint. There are no dangers of the spiritual world if you see other religions.

Glad you can access your shadow function! Guessing you must have done a lot of shadow work.
I’m curious how you experience the Yang “Visionary” side.
I find it to be an inspiring idea but I feel like I lack that clarity of pursuit.

Do you feel that by not forgiving yourself, you keep the connection with those you've lost? And is this why you refuse to forgive yourself?

I didn't know INFPs had introverted intuition as well? 🤔
1:15 - 1:45 he explains how we all have/use all 8, just at varying strengths.
Not in the main Stack, Main INFP is: Fi Ne Si Te - > Ne (Extroverted Intuition)
@@ismaellima9625gotta evolve, my friend.
Everyone has all 8. We’re all human, after all ^^
