I appreciate the continued feedback!
I don't believe that NiTe or SeTi truly resonate with me. I am not a goal-oriented, organized visionary (NiTe) nor do I take action in or much notice the immediate context (SeTi).
In fact, I struggle to come up with goals or plans and follow-through is even more difficult. And taking action is not my strong suit - most of the time, I can take a long time to make a decision or take any action. I'm very conscientious, sometimes too much that I end up taking NO action :-( I think this is partially due to seeing so many options - what if this happens, what about this? On and on...is this Ne/Si?
I try to understand the underlying reason things happen - always trying to find the root of an issue or motivation or action. This is usually directed not so much at the physical world of objects or machines but at human beings. Although, I do distinctly remember taking apart most of my electronic toys to see how they work and enjoying my high school physics and chemistry class because my teacher taught us how the physical world actually works. My parents also lament how often I asked "why?", almost to a point of real irritation ;-)
But my bookshelves are also filled with psychology related topics, or personal growth topics - all an attempt to understand the underpinnings of human behavior. I love to understand "the why" so that I can find understanding, healing and greater intimacy in my relationships. Then bring that to others via teaching, writing or speaking. I could research and discuss this cognitive type stuff forever, for example, but get discouraged when no one else finds it valuable or there's seemingly no outlet for it.
So I feel I spend a lot of time inside, never feeling like I have enough time to really sort through everything and many times, I need to write this stuff out before it begins to make sense. I get irritated when I'm interrupted in thought and my environment needs to be quiet and free of distraction. Obviously, practical tasks around the house and in life can really pile up at times...
Hopefully that's a clearer picture...thanks folks!
