Your Ni Dom

The Lesson

In this reflection, I confront the absurdity of trying to change the system and, at the same time, rank up in it. I also acknowledge that some growth points are so substantive that the lesson must be repeated until we truly get it. Finally. I confess that I'm just not there yet. Hence, the lesson continues. Supporting themes: Systems theory (I will upload the notes within one week of this post at yournidom.wordpress.com); Faith; and Self- narratives. Typology: Enneagram 3 and 4s; Tritypes; Ni/Te conflict; and Intuition/ Sensing conflict.

My Dad’s Sister

Another situation. 

Main themes: Death; Intergenerational trauma; Grief; Family drama; and Magna cum laude (which I repeatedly mispronounced 😞).

Confession and Confusion

Main themes: Defining introverted intuition; exploring leadership as related to the organization versus leadership as related to the self; and security as an issue of sensing or of self-preservation.

Iconoclastic and Gifted

This reflection starts off talking about being an iconoclast and ends talking about being gifted. To complete this reflection, I read from two texts ("Gifts Differing" and "Can You Hear the Flowers Singing"). In the end, I come to terms with the interrelatedness between INTJ, Type 8 and Gifted people. Supportive themes: Divergency; Excitability; Sensitivity; Perceptivity; and Entelechy. Typology: Enneagram; and Meyers Briggs.

Coercion by Correction

In this reflection, I inadvertently bring two events together to unpack the sociology of being... as related to power, superiority and authority. Much of it explores social norms around being a woman and looking at gender through the intersection of race (as well as class). YouTube Content Referenced: "7 Female INTJs" Typology: Intuition and Sensing

Disdain

In this reflection I deal with being told that I'm odd and abnormal. To do this, I start unpacking "Gifts Differing; Understanding Personality Type" by Isabel Briggs Meyers and I Peter Meyers (a book that I purchased as a birthday gift to myself).

Main themes: Giftedness; HSP; Perceptivity; The bell curve and the tails.

 

Typology: Ni, Te, 8, & NT.

Ethical Being

In this reflection I analyze my emotions and reaffirm my commitment to being action oriented. Typology: Te and Fi axis.

Meaning and Belonging

In this reflection I explore the idea of a Midlife Crisis as a turning point (one of many throughout one's life) and accept that, whether I call it a crisis or not, I am being challenged to rethink my approach to meaning and belonging. Inspired by Elaine Dundon: Searching for meaning beyond the "Midlife Crisis" (Psychology Today). Typology: Ni; Te; and Si as a shadow function.

Trans- Sensory

In this reflection I process death, the other world and this world. Additional themes: Toxic love; Abuse; Intellectual intimacy; Spiritual intimacy; Unexpressed grief; Therapy; Intuition; and Dream analysis. Typology: INTJ; Ni; 8

Reluctant Resolve

In this reflection I address fatigue as an issue and the politics of pushing through it. Additional themes: The individual versus the institution; Judge Jackson and the Supreme Court nomination hearings; and Naming and fighting battles. Typology: INTJ8; 8INTJ; INTJ1; INTJ5; and INFJ6
