Your Ni Dom

Season 3

In this reflection I talk about reflecting privately versus reflecting publicly. I also talk about my most downloaded episodes and what it potentially reveals about my listeners (pertaining trauma, leaning, unmuting and INTJness). Finally, I talk about structural changes to this project and my expansion into YouTube.

Growing Beyond the Base

The INTJ8

Passion, Creativity and Structural Security

Theory of Mind

The Adult Child

In this reflection, I consider feedback as a critical part of growing and the ways parents relate to the feedback offered through their children. Along the way, I talk about the sophisticated and unsophisticated ways children give feedback (loosely linked to their age development).  I also talk about a 35 year friendship that holds a lot of memories in our traveling as children into parenthood (or not).  Finally, I talk about my own growth as relating to my parents and learning (and accepting) reasonable expectations. 

Intuition as a Gift and a Curse

In this way, I explore my unique brand of intuition and the ways it has helped and hindered me.  Possible points of interest for the listener:  the deep knowing of another person's power, core and shadow; intimacy work contingent upon identity work; and the interrelatedness of interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligence (and understanding it as a single phenomenon related to the sense of self).  

Listening to Seven INTJ Women Part 3

In this reflection, I continue my response to seven INTJ women interviewed on YouTube (see Parts 1 and 2 to learn more). Main concepts: childhood as an INTJ; the perceived wellness (or not) of the INTJ; and the predictive nature of the INTJ (and my judgement against it).  The true reflection actually begins around Minute 18 with the start of the episode being dedicated to updates on conversations covered in earlier episodes (my sister and family trauma, Season 2, and my previous two reflections).  

Zone of Proximal Development

In this reflection, I use a theory used in education, called "The Zone of Proximal Development", to explore my next growth point.  I spend time talking about the theory from a technical lens. I then apply the theory to help me understand my motivation (and lack thereof) towards my business and my needs as a lifelong/continuous learner. 

Dual Relationship with the Outer World

This reflection actually has two distinct parts. While I end talking about insights about my dual relationship with the outer world (as a dominant perceiver), I spend most of the reflection 1) presenting a theory I have about introverted intuition (in which I liken to a photographer and his camera) and 2) applying the theory to help me understand my morning experience of understanding (at a deeper level) an experience I had two days earlier.  Important randomness:  the Depth of INTJ knowing and who has unrestricted access to such knowing?
