NeTi - Larin Series Video Discussion

A hardcore NeTi example (starts at 0:30):

I'm positively flattered.

The Joker is one of my idols.

Reckoner


absolutely yes
Anyway, have you considered the possibility to be actually a NeTi?

So I was a little hesitant to post this at first, because I feel like a large portion of my reads have come out as NeTi or similar and I'm consciously trying to not fall prey to an amateurish "I like this person and kind of relate to what I know of them so they must be the same as me" kind of deal, but I'm like 90% sure that Justin Pierre is an NeTi.



Soft eyes and scowling leads me to believe Ne/Si. Also he doesn't seem to have the intensity of an Se user (the whole fish(Ne) versus rocket(Se) analogy).
In the first and second videos (most notably the second) you can see an undercurrent of energy(Pe) in his movements and he has that effect described in the actual Larin video where it looks like he may kind of move in any direction at any given moment. Also, at points in the third video (or rather, throughout that series of videos. Part 1 may not have all of the signs contained within it alone) he has moments where something will catch his interest or get him engaged and he'll visibly kind of perk up and gain a lot of apparent energy. (At 5:40ish in Part 2 he has a moment where he "gets distracted" by the cymbal next to him and takes a moment to kind of play with that. They even say in the video "ADD/ADHD" which has been compared, at least in part, to Ne. Again at 7:28 in Part 1 he has a noticeable moment where he gets engaged and sits forward. Again, adding to the Ne evidence, he answers a lot of questions by starting on topic but slowly drifts off on tangents because he'll elaborate with a Ti "technical explanation" (eg. when he's asked about how the band's sound has changed over time in Part 1 and he ends up going over how a band's material will be more/less appealing according to where in their discography you began listening) and that'll continue onward until he realizes that he hasn't even answered the question (he has one point, that I can't seem to find again, where he even calls attention to the fact that he hasn't even answered it))
Judgement I'd say fairly confidently that he uses Ti/Fe. His smile at first (for me) looked a little Fi-ish in the sense that it wasn't super wide, but he does a lot of Ti meticulous hand movements/Fe pushes and his face is flat and neutral at rest (seen best in video 1, probably).


Other, More Tenuous, Less Reliable, Vaguely Psychological Notes:
In the first video there are multiple instances where he kind of smirks a little and you can see a smile sort of playing on his face and at the same time he'll look at the interview and kind of engage with that. Rather than smiling to himself (as with Fi), his emotions/smile are meant to connect with the outside (Fe).

In Part 1 he talks about how he likes the making-it-up-along-the-way method of touring that he's been using with Twitter, which is kind of the classic/stereotypical Pe/xxxP idea.

Also, later in Part 1 the interviewer asks him if he had any expectations for the album and his response is "Uh... Nope." Which reflects the Ne/Si nature of not expecting anything from the unknown.

In Part 3 of that third series thing, at 2:00 he talks about how he likes people and finds them interesting (an outgoing sense of exploration) even though he spends a lot of time alone (Time which he says he spends watching movies, reading, etc. which, referencing the Introversion/Extraversion thread, is still Ne engaging in the world despite the apparent introversion of that behavior)

Lots of other things that I have neither the time nor patience to elaborate on.


PS. Y'know, with a little more effort/development I might be able to turn this into a passable thread for the Case Studies Sub-Series..

EDIT: Also, I'm noticing a trend with NeTis and anxiety. I've had anxiety issues in the past (ones that have never really gone away even now). Heron has a post about panic attacks in his Experience of Being a Type thread. If I remember correctly, Sevenfish said something about at least mild anxiety (maybe not. I definitely seem to remember her at least saying something about not being fully confident with how to act/react socially, at least). Tessa Violet has a video on her channel where she talks about anxiety and panic attacks. And Justin Pierre (if I'm right about his type (I like to think I am)) talks about how he gets anxious and such (it's very apparent in his music, too).

I'm not speaking for all NeTis or anything. I just thought that this was interesting.

Heron Oops, you were referring to me being NeTi not Jeff Buckley. My mistake .

MBTI assessments i've used in the past have resulted in predominantly ENTP results with some INTP. Delving into the functions themselves I identified with extraverted intuition and introverted thinking as dominants but I was unable to determine if I was a perception or judgement lead. History (according to my mother) dictates that I'm an introvert - spending most of my time introspecting or engaging with a select group of friends. However, I was not a quiet and controlled baby, quite the opposite.
Alerith recently analysed the functions I exhibit in a video that I linked to via email (a reluctance to reveal a video of myself to the forum). Alerith concluded that my rigid posture and face-centric manner were characteristic of J-lead. Without expanding or going into detail I was typed as TiNe.
I should probably post the video in the relevant section soon to fit in with the new typing guidelines and enable others to get involved with their own analysis.

Heron, I believe you were originally typed as TiNe, although Auburn and others noted a excess of Ne in the content and language of your posts hinting at a Pe dominance. What subjective factors other than those already highlighted did you use to determine your perception lead? 

"Ne as an exploring function is an exciting process, when you don't have the right state of mind it can lead to a crescendo of illness that is difficult to control.
I noticed that every Nx has problems anxiety (NiTes hide it from themselfs but you can notice this when you know one well enough), in my case it was a mixture of depression (i think i had a serious depression for maybe a year, not analyzed by a psichologist but i had all the symptoms), social awkwardness and other little things all together." - Heron

I can relate to this and have also quietly observed a suppressed anxiety in my NiTe brother. I can imagine it tip-toeing through his psyche like an ephemeral thief, briefly and clandestinely robbing him of his rationality.

Cool post! I just thought I'd back this part up. Yeah I definitely did (and sort of still do, but way less) have anxiety. The phychiatrist I went to for my ADD said it was "moderate". When I was 11-13ish I used to be absolutely terrified that something irrationally horrible was going to happen all the time (e.x. my parents were going to randomly die of cancer, or someone would break in and kill my family in front of me, or the sun would explode.) I had to listen to tapes in order to sleep.

Probably the Ne imagining negative possibilities without a well-enough developed Ti to tell you that they are rediculous. Maybe the Fe makes it about people.
