NI - INTUITION INTROVERTED TYPE

INTUITION (or INTUITING) Introverted type - Ni type

Socionics-based description of Ni type

The type of person is determined by the main (dominant) psychic function. All eight functions are present in the psyche of each person, but they have different degrees of development. INTUITION Introverted (Ni) function is the leading function in the Ni types.

Creative and deeply intuitive, Ni types are perceptive of underlying, hidden meanings and mystical aspects of life. Having an active imagination they naturally spend hours daydreaming. They are often focused on the past or the future. Time for Ni type people is not fixed, but relative, since it is created by events. The events create their own period of time, unfolding across their own temporal interval. When Ni types look at a situation, they want to know what its implications might be, imagining all the possible scenarios. They often know which way the wind will blow and predict how things will play out or what problems will occur without much data or experience.

Ni types naturally read between the lines and understand the hidden dynamics of the human psyche. They can sometimes "feel" your mood, even if you don't voice what you're feeling or thinking. They have an inner awareness of when people are being authentic or phony and are skilled at sniffing out hidden motives.

Their intuition guides them well, helping them make creative or intellectual leaps other people might not be able to see. “My Intuition leads me where I need to be”. Learning to let go, let things flow, and that nothing can be guaranteed can allow them to change course mid-stream, try new avenues. All thoughts, ideas, and plans, however final they seem, are subject to last-minute changes when “new data” become available.

Ni types get along well in small groups of people where they are likely to share jokes, ideas, whimsical thought, and many inventive theories. They have a strong need for privacy and may feel exhausted by large gatherings. They can sometimes seem chilly and reserved. Many have an inconspicuous look and don’t want to attract attention. They prefer to remain in the background and do not actively look for recognition. Ni type people respect other's space, they leave others free to do what they want. They have a "live and let live" approach, and are accepting and nonjudgmental of all. What other people do is their business, but Ni types will always take the time to listen to them and offer their thoughts and opinions — but only if asked. They don’t like to waste time on superficial small talk. They are the perfect person to have deep conversations with. They intuitively understand what you're going through, they're the longtime friends whose shoulder you can sob on without any fear of judgment. They'll let you go to the depths of despair, staying by your side the whole time.

Ni types value imagination, and tend to daydream, fantasize, theorize. This process, may go on for hours, days, even weeks. The real world is less interesting to them than the inner landscapes they create for themselves. Developing ideas and drawing plans often seems more exciting, and stimulating to them than actually doing whatever needs to be done. People with this type of personality may lack rootedness in the tangible, physical reality and feel unequipped for the physical world. They may see everyone as stable and normal while feeling that they are sensitive, vulnerable, indecisive, and flawed. They come to believe that they do not possess the internal resources to handle life’s challenges alone, that they are unable to care properly for themselves and physically defend themselves. Ni types are often filled with a nameless anxiety. They imagine scenes of disaster, their imagination races out of control.

They can move forward with confidence if they feel that they have sufficient backup. They realize that people are weak alone, but together they are a great force. Therefore, Ni type people tend to join together with others and seek safety. They create or maintain alliances and associations to achieve a common goal: survival, defense, realization of the idea.

People with this type of personality often are a bundle of opposites. They are both strong and weak, fearful and courageous, defenders and provokers, group people and soloists. Moods carry them from one extreme to another, from childish expectation to depression, from impulsive displays of defiance to dependency, from persistent action to despair, from brilliant conversations to gloomy silences. They can be tough to figure out. These contrasting forces in the nature can make life one perpetual warfare and unrest for Ni type.

Some representatives of the Ni type see themselves as rebellious outsiders. They are fierce protector of the vulnerable and rebel against fundamental injustice.

NI - MALE PORTRAIT  

Intuition Introverted type (Ni) - male portrait

Ni type man is highly intuitive, he is receptive to deep, hidden meanings, and naturally reads between the lines. He quickly sniffs out lies and hidden motives. Notices details, feels the flow of time, anticipates how a situation will unfold over time, and knows how to move away from danger in advance.

Ni takes an individual approach to each person. He is able to listen carefully to another without judging, resonate with his or her deep world, and reflect it, bringing to light what was hidden in the shadows. Likes to explore negative experiences; one can talk to him about painful feelings and cry together. Ni type men often choose the career of a psychologist.

In social settings, Ni man may come across as shy and taciturn. Many have an inconspicuous look and don’t want to attract attention. Ni men often wear dark clothes that they hope will make them anonymous. Their reserved facade often hides their passionate and sensitive inner turmoil. This inner focus makes them mysterious and enigmatic to many people. You can’t get a grip on them, as if they are slipping away through your fingers. Vagueness and elusiveness are very characteristic of Ni men.

Ni type men are prone to an INTEGRATING interaction style. People with this style are cautious in communication. They show diplomacy, avoid being direct and categorical in their statements. Do not argue, even if disagreeing, tend to tergiversate instead of answering the direct question to avoid conflict. They do not oppose openly something. If they don't want to do something, they passively resist or discreetly sabotage.

✅ Pisces - Zodiac Sign Personality Traits 

• Pisces by Annabel Gat and Randon Rosenbohm www.vice.com

Pisces is often referred to as the dreamer of the zodiac… They’re often looking to the future, dreaming of a better way for things to be. They may have a rich fantasy world, which can distract them from everyday life and inspire their art. They may also have a deep connection with the dreams they have at night.

Pisces’s reputation is an interesting one: They are regarded as deep thinkers but are also often labeled as ditzy… Their feelings can be so big that their attention span becomes warped, and they need to be mindful of time and appointments by keeping a planner… As private as Pisces can be, they can also be very hospitable, and they like to have a revolving door of houseguests, neighbors, and visiting family members.

Their symbol is illustrated as two fish swimming in different directions: this bidirectionality reflects Pisces’ many sides. Pisces can have their head in the clouds and be exploring oceanic emotions at the same time. They are also very good at making sense of conflicting information, so they can hold many ideas in their mind at once. They can understand a story from many perspectives. They may hold two perspectives at once and not feel conflicted about it. They know that everyone has their own version of the truth and that each point of view has its own value.

Some astrologers describe Pisces as being wishy-washy or even a doormat, but the shark teeth can come out someone challenges their ability to create art, whether that’s a lover who won’t leave in the morning and let them get to recording their next album, a teacher who doesn’t understand Pisces’s work, or society at large poopooing their process.

Pisces and friendship. They take their friendships, and their participation in social groups, very seriously… Emotional depth is crucial in all their relationships, romantic and platonic. They need to be able to go deep with you, and they value friends who are trustworthy and willing to explore life’s intensity… If you have a Pisces friend, you’ll often find that they can compute your many feelings as if they were a little emotional calculator, spitting out the total sum of your experience back at you, teaching you about connections you hadn’t previously realized, details you had missed, and perspectives that were out of view.
