Your Ni Dom

Leadership and Te (TeFi?) Drama

In this reflection I share a current struggle I am having with my two judging functions relating to leadership. My Fi has decided that I don't want to do leadership in the job (only in my business). However, my Te takes over (instinctively) and seeks to improve the organizations for which I am a member. In this discussion I consider the difference between skill, talent and superpowers. I consider employee status versus entrepreneurship status (as relating to those talents). Finally, I consider visibility and open contests for space (as both an inclination and a responsibility).

The Real Value of Typology

In this reflection I talk about typology as an intellectual past time or as a diagnostic tool. I argue, however, that it is ultimately about being better in the world and making the world a better place. In the conversation, I briefly discuss Bloom's Taxonomy, the TeFi axis, emotional intelligence and intuition as a thinking function.

The Body Knows

In this reflection I explore the body as a place of intelligence (not just the head.. or the heart for that matter). I briefly discuss the three instincts of type EIGHT in the Enneagram system. Finally, I talk about the Your-Ni-Dom project as born from my instinct and the way I want to move forward (and the anti-racist people I.want to attract).

Talking Te

In this reflection I talk about the healing work and growth of extroverted thinking (Te). This reflection was inspired by another podcast community and I spend time considering the overlap between my conversations and theirs. I end this reflection talking about the nature-nurture state of cognitive functions, making claim that racism (along with sexism and poverty) plays a role in how our functions are experienced.

Conflict Between Work and Home

In this reflecting I share my personal struggle with dating and friendship as relating to feminism, entrepreneurship, and physical play. The core conflict deals with location and deciding to privilege my work or my heart.

Dealing with Bullying Behaviors

In this reflection I talk about different ways of recognizing and dealing with bullying behavior. I come from a personal perspective and a professional one. In this reflection, I also consider different reactions to bullies based on Enneagram Type 8 and Enneagram Type 5.

Social Justice and Masterminding Challenges

In this reflection I talk more about masterminding and challenges related to volunteerism, social justice, and personal development. Also in this reflection is a conversation on (dis)comfort with my two cognitive pairings: NiSe and TeFi.

Impressions, Personal Growth, Masterminding and Personality Theory

Political Tribes and Type Maturity

Te in the Middle

This reflection starts and end with a conversation about how INTJs can or cannot connect to FPs (people with Fi in the top of their stack); however, in the middle I talk about a number of (non)related topics: 1) learning theory and deep learning; 2) NT observation versus action; and 3) TeFi dynamics. In all, it is a reflection that explores Te as middle function between Ni and Fi.
