Your Ni Dom

It's in a Song

In this reflection I talk about the emotional world of an INTJ. I also talk about taking care of the feeling function when it is in the back seat. Finally I talk about the emotional strain of being black during a pandemic. #Death #BLM #Grief #Covid19

Stopping My Ni from Running Amok

This is the last installment on my NiTe friction reflection. I talk about the relationship my dominant Ni has with the other three functions in my stack. I also talk about the extended growth work of my auxiliary Te. Finally, I talk about my Ni's relationship to the matrix and the work my Te has to do to maintain order/direction.

Coming Out as an Ni Dom

In this reflection I talk about my hidden struggle as an Ni-dom person and the pros and cons of coming out. I also talk about a concept called looping and my continued work with extroverted thinking. Finally I talk about my relationship to money as relating to my two judging functions: Te and Fi.

Cognitive Functions

In this reflection I talk about cognitive functions (as captured by Meyers Briggs) and their relationship to my personality. I also talk about the relationship those functions have with my social wiring (as best captured by the Ennragram system). Finally, I explore my love hate relationship to my sixth function-- introverted thinking (Ti). [Some additional discussion points were intuition and creativity; personality, politics and power; and language and standard English.]

Social Change, Self Preservation and Building a Better Self

In this reflection I talk about living a life of social change agentry and pursuing a better self. [Note: I also talk about the instinctual stack in the Enneagram system, what it means to be physically stable and personality typing.]

Social Norms and Social Distancing

In this reflection I use the Thanksgiving holiday to talk about social norms we have around personal space and social interactions. [Note: I also integrate science as a religion, Enneagram EIGHT drama, and gratitude and thankfulness into the conversation.]

Leadership, Power, and Organizational Culture

In this reflection, I use my enneagram type (EIGHT) to explore the different ways I engage in leadership (within organizations). [Note: I ultimately discuss leadership and power as concepts/intellectual ideas. Check it out and let me know your thoughts at www.yournidom.wordpress.com.]

Reciprocity and Boundary Setting

In this reflection I continue to think about relationships and reciprocity. However, in the reflection, I also talk about relationships where reciprocity should not be required. In all, I explore relationship health and the role boundaries play in keeping them healthy. [Note: concepts such as self-indulgence, self-absorption and power are also discussed.]

Friendships as an INTJ Woman

In this reflection I talk a lot about being an INTJ agitator and how this agitation impacts (positively and negatively) emerging friendships. I also mention my experience being with other NT women at a recent conference I attended and about another INTJ woman actually trying to agitate me.

Authenticity as a Double Decider

In this reflection I talk about TeFi as my decision making apparatus and my journey in resisting Fi (my tertiary function) to respecting it. This reflection starts with an expressed interest to talk about friendship (and there is a pocket in which I do) but it mainly is about exploring Te when it is connected to Fi versus when it tries to deny Fi.
