I see, so Si is like a sensing which picks and chooses other auxilliary attributes to add to a perception to enhance its fidelity in a way that's meaningful to the user. And these 'enhanced' pereptions are then available for use.
Yep, I think it isn't wrong to express it so. It's like this perception adds some personal/subjective attributes to actual data. Personal/subjective meaning for the user or so. But it doesn't mean original data is messed up and distorted to become something else. "Enriching" would maybe be good word to describe it too. More like receiving a "detached" version of actual object, enriched and mirrored into your inner dimension, in addition to actual data - can't find right words
There are many different use cases how it plays out for the user for good, if it's concious and user is aware of it. I can easily see why it could be confused with intuition in some cases.
I think I've been able to identify it in others in different ways. Spending too much time drinking things in (resistance to moving on to the next thing), treating someone poorly because that person reminded them of someone in their past (I realize this is probably some kind of shadow Si), forming an unshakeble first impression of someone, a guy who collects swiss army knives in every color and tool configuration.
Yep, I've heard from others something like this can be some unconcious/shadow version of it. I don't see things that way by myself with concious SI - or at least couldn't recall any specific case when I do it. User having it in unconcious form might have no idea about the source of such information if it bothers them. If it worked this way for everyone, including concious SI users, it'd definitely be one of the most useless perks
It seems that high use Si can produce some fine and very dinstinctive perceptions (you make it sound kind of like AI), but I don't see how I use it. I've been in arguments about misremembering facts/situations and the Si user is more often than not right in those cases. These arguments usually start because it's those other tacked on attributes that are being discussed that I have long since forgotten about so all I can do is muddle through. Another one is a picture in my mind of what an old bedroom looked like only to find an old photo later on and the furnishings and orientation of the furniture was different that what I recalled. Thanks for taking the time to explain. I think it makes sense, but I'll never really get it : )
In case of concious use it seems to play out for me like seeing forest behind the trees - gives some sense of direction how information changes (I call it seeing information as trendlines), what is different compared to known similar or different situations, find applicable uses for new situations from known experiences and such. Also works like sort of navigation system - a pathway between those perceived "objects" is like a guideline for judging. Rather easy to see from the latter how it gives user higher level of consistency compared to some pretty different people and together with T, an ability to even bulldoze through obstacles, if needed, to reach destination
Idk maybe dom SI sees more changes in details but I don't see or remember actual details practically at all - it's more like recognizing it's the same or similar impression thus I can assume something about the situation in advance. No comparison of single pieces of information - it's more like comparing whole "snapshots" of data. I guess that's the way how mind optimizes it for faster thinking and decisions.
Discussed something with my partner (NI dom) and it looks like visualization of details, for example seeing what's changed in the room, isn't necessarily SI thing - she said she very clearly knows such details as it's all visual for her, while not for me.
That's fair that you don't get it completely - I'm pretty sure that any person with main perception X is never fully able to understand and imagine how perception Y works
It can only be understood and imagined up to some point as it's not a mbti or other theoretical pseudo-concept but a real different way of experiencing the world
But as I'm describing it through lens of judging dom, can't tell how SI might play out differently in a mind of a SI perception dom.
