These might be some dumb questions, but I believe that only an INTP can help me!
I've been noticing how a perceiving cognitive brain function such as Ni can work so differently for two INFJ's and I'm wondering if for INTP's Ti thoughts are more similar among two INTP's? I'm 22, and according to a few theories,(John Beebe's in particular) I should have my tertiary Ti developed, but I don't know. Would Ti work on behalf of Ni (organizing the web of Ideas), or does it feel like an independent entity that anylizes only my Feeling value judgements in the external world, leaving Ni alone?
Also, is there a way that each function works on a small and then on a large scale? I'ts wierd that on a small scale, Se for example may be a quick glance using the eyes to pick up on a relevent detail, which may only take a few seconds, but on the large scale, Se for the INFJ may amount to be using life experience and knowledge to may a tangible impact in reality. Or on a medium scale it maybe used in a sustained way (running a marathon). I know that Ni fully developed tends to find archetypes and meanings in the world. On a small scale, it seems like random imagination, or active imagination to create a timeless interpretation image to represent a goal. Does Ne have a small scale and large scale role? Does Ti? Also, when an INTP develops Fe, is it used to rally others to your incredible knowledge and thought on a large scale, or is it used in isolation, for less long term goals, like creating harmony in a group, or being concerned for implicit/explicit needs of your SO?
Is the way that an INTP abstracts thought the same for all INTP's, or is it a different imagination style between two different INTP's. If it is different, then does each INTP control this/her imagination of Ne to see what it wants? (to entertain yourself sometimes) Or does logic stipulate that you see the same patterns that even Socrates and Plato arrived at? (The forms)
I'm also curious about what INTP's think about the nature of preferred functions. Are they solidified in the brain somehow at an early age when we choose them, or are we created individually to be wired for certain preferences, with less energy cost associated with our preferred functions, and then individuate as we will later?
Do you think that the mind(as opposed to the brain) can be thought of as locations where functions like Fi and Ti can be located on the right hemisphere, etc. or is the mind a whole entity working together to assimilate information?
I love INTP's by the way!
