My First Typing Video :D

Hi TheLogicFan! Thanks for taking the time to analyze my videos!

It's interesting that you came to the conclusion of NeTi. I've always thought of my brother (the one who's interviewing me) as NeTi due to his insane ability and interest in scientific/ethical debate, as well as his raw creativity and engineering skills in his creation of functioning machines and gadgets made from things just lying around the house. Think Adam Savage, just more serious.

In terms of NeTi's applicability to myself, people have told me I'm a master of internet trolling, and I've heard that's an NeTi stereotype. LOL

Perhaps my brother and I get along so well because we're both that type!

Thanks again. ^_^

I'm not sure if this is relevant, but I should note I'm not this jumpy and bubbly most of the time. Normally I'm quite sullen in expression, especially with people I'm not close with. I'm rather shy, but I'm thinking this is a learned behavior as I've been told I was extremely outgoing and somewhat like how I acted in the videos before I went to school. I'm working on getting out of my shell these days, and from personal experience, once I meet someone and spend maybe a couple hours with them one-on-one, I go from Ti face to them trying to shut me up and becoming extremely outgoing. Perhaps I'm a repressed extrovert, as I love being the center of attention and entertaining people.

In relation to Ne, it took me quite a long time to develop the self-discipline to finish personal projects through to fruition. My brother makes fun of me for always starting something up, like a comic, and then two hours in get bored and start a new project. Heck, I'm still like this where I'll have lists upon lists of funny ideas or projects I have buzzing in my head, but almost the moment I start actually doing it, I get bored. I've actually thought to myself at times that it's the idea creation process that I find most fun, as opposed to realizing it.

Another thing, there have been times when I felt SiTe really fit me. I've heard the theory that when you're stressed out, your 4th function can display itself negatively, so it would make sense that I would identify with a lead Si type. The time where I felt SiTe fit me the most was when I was going to 10th grade in a school where no one seemed to take anything seriously. I think I was looking at type from a more holistic perspective then, as in retrospect, it was the "ISTJ" stereotype that fit. I was nitpicky about assignment rules (and still am). If someone says they're going to do something, I get rather annoyed if they don't. I self-impose these things on myself and expect others to follow suit. Being on time is something I value highly. Everyone can relate to that one teacher who would take points off if you didn't write your report in 12 pt font, and from then on, you were always paranoid about the rules. Again though, I'm not sure if this is a learned behavior from schooling.

More recently I've identified with TiSe, although that's a whole 'nother can of worms. So much to say, so little time! XD

Hi anagrams! Thanks for taking a look at my video.

I've been told I'm rather oblivious to how other people are feeling, so if you're not detecting much Fe, perhaps it's that. That's actually one of the reasons TiSe clicked somewhat a while back because Fe is its lowest function, as well as SiTe which has Fi as its tertiary. Actually, one of the reasons I was leaning towards Fi as one of my functions is that I used to have all these weird suspicions of people when I was younger (still is the case sometimes these days). I.E. hate them for no apparent reason. From my understanding, that seems to be a weird usage of Fi, attaching strong internal emotions to certain things, people, words, or intangibles.

This also supports how I've felt in relation to Te. I've often been the one just to want to have the "truth" thrown at me without having to think of it. Like when it comes to politics. When I was younger I would just accept what was the opinion of whoever I looked up to. This isn't so much the case now, but I would just listen blindly, without seeming to use any Ti for it. I'd take it as fact. Wouldn't most children do this, however? Is is not common for children to just blindly listen to their parents' opinions?

Ooh, I see! I recall seeing an graphic somewhere on this site that had two circles, one inside the other where two thirds or so of each circle towards their tops where the first two functions. To use one function, you then had to use its pair in that circular pathway.

With that in mind, would that make Si the 3rd function for NeTi in CT, as opposed to the 4th as in MBTI?

It was quite a long time ago (maybe 6/7 years?) and your ability to deal with information drastically changes during adolescence, so I can't quite pinpoint exactly why I just blindly accepted my parents' positions on things. I think it might have been just trying to impress them and act smart, which I recall doing a lot.

Trying to rack my brain over the Te/Ti thing is tricky! I'm not sure if anyone can relate to this, but there's the funny common concept of "winning" a science fiction novel. You can play from either the side of the author or the reader. If you're the author you try to make it as scientifically accurate as possible without violating any real life principles or your own world's preset guidelines (ex: you could have some technology running off phlebotinum). If you're the reader, you want to find as many errors in the science and plotholes/universe holes in their work.

An example of this (using a non-sci/fi novel) would be the novel Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. I like to argue over the biological accuracy as well as the break of self-contained rules in the Twilight universe. I can suspend disbelief with the myriad of psychic/telekinetic/etc. powers all the vampires have, because heck, it's fantasy. But when there's the issue of vampires being made of "stone", having no heart beat and  no blood and then being able to have sex, a process which inherently in humans requires that blood pressure and physical change in shape and size of the body when the vampires supposedly can't change shape (hence the females can't get pregnant), I like the point out the flaws in that logic. Would that be Ti?

Keeping it PG-13 here, the sexual aspects are mostly glossed over, as the target audience isn't the same as 50 Shades. XD
The human girl ends up getting pregnant from the vampire male. There is nothing ethereal mentioned in the book about human/vampire sex, so I'm defaulting into physical. There are some real life scientific aspects injected into the series, such as how vampires and werewolves have different sets of chromosomes, and some expo speak from one of the vampire characters who happens to be a doctor.

I think the root of what I like about the keeping within the universe rules as well as incorporating large amounts of real life fact is that it's a challenge. Right now I'm in the process of writing a fantasy novel that involves the supernatural, but I'm trying to make it as realistic as possible. The act of researching left and right and injecting that into the novel to make it seem as if it could actually happen. The mix of mind-screw, educational aspects, and just challenge of "cherry-picking" real life data is what appeals to me. Almost like what the DaVinci Code did. Also being innovative with and bringing new life to an otherwise oversaturated supernatural novel market is another draw to this train of thought.

So in conclusion, it's keeping within the universe rules and pointing out the logical fallacies within that self-contained framework. Like I said, fantasy, fine. I read tons of fantasy. But if you're trying to bring in real-life science into the mix, expect those rules to expand and become exponentially more difficult to keep up with. The challenge is what's fun. lol
