any INFJ feel like their intuition (foresight, just knowing, etc.) is not as strong as the profiles would make it seem? Maybe i'm not Ni dominant?
i suppose it could be possible my Ni is so subconscious (it is the most of any function, isn't it?) that i don't even realize i use it? But my intuition in the general sense is not that great, especially for a supposed INFJ.I feel that it is what guide's me through everything.
Maybe, I can't tell you for sure.i suppose it could be possible my Ni is so subconscious (it is the most of any function, isn't it?) that i don't even realize i use it? But my intuition in the general sense is not that great, especially for a supposed INFJ.
this sounds quite a bit more like me.Ni is a perceiving function, yes? So if you are an INFJ, everytime you perceive something you are predisposed to perceiving it through your Ni rather than, say through your Se. e.g You don't immediately notice the visual detail when you are walking through the woods, but you sense it more as the oneeness of nature, the forest as a whole rather than the bark on the individual trees, you get how the ecosystem is all connected, without actually studying it.
Or you see someone behave in a certain way, and know that what they are showing outwardly is not all that is going on. You make assumptions about what it causing them to act like that, you notice when someone is happy but the circumstances don't seem quite right and you just "know" that they are putting on an act and you wonder why. Or perhaps you don't understand a single word of a poem, but you get the meaning of the entire thing - you know the mood the author is trying to convey, even if the individual imagery is lost on you. Or you are having a conversation with somebody and instead of listening to each word and taking it all in, you faze out and use your intuition to get to what you think is the essence of what the other person is saying and reply accordingly, which sometimes makes them think you are an amazingly profound mind-reader, and other times makes them think "WTF? Have you not been listening to a word I just said?", and still other times they think you are just plain random and weird.
I don't get many "Aha!" moments with my intuition, it is all more subtle and everyday than that. So everyday, in fact, that I have to really think hard to realise that I am even using it.
I would bet money that you are using it, but you are simply just not realizing because its so natural.any INFJ feel like their intuition (foresight, just knowing, etc.) is not as strong as the profiles would make it seem? Maybe i'm not Ni dominant?
I try to, not really sure how well that works out though. And yes, I have always loved complex, intricate things. What seems to either confuse or disinterest some, I always enjoyed. Often, but not always, I would find that more complex things were not only more enjoyable, but fairly easy for me. (As opposed to the simple stuff, which could either take me a while to get, or just hold no interest..)I would bet money that you are using it, but you are simply just not realizing because its so natural.
Do you always see the big picture? Can you easily understand complex ideas? Then yeah, you're using it.
