Your Ni Dom

The Feeler's Reaction to Te

Dealing with Te and Ti as a Podcaster

In this reflection I examine two thinking functions and my access to them while podcasting. I have two separate podcasts and discuss how Te and Ti (mainly Te) show up differently in each. Ultimately, I juxtapose my relationship to being effective (Te) against my relationship to being accurate (Ti).

Tensions

In this reflection, I inadvertently talk about varying tension points I've processed throughout the week:1) NiTe tensions (examining my need for Ni freedom versus Te structure); 2) family (exploring family values of my adult years versus family values of my childhood); 3) Black Lives Matter (where I ponder it as a concept versus it as a movement), and 4) podcasting (where I contrasts the differences between my two podcasts and what it means for this specific podcast as I move forward).

The Matrix

In this reflection I talk through a social world reality I call the matrix and explain my different relationships with it (both denying and accepting it).

Grief and the Sensory World

In this reflection I talk about extroverted sensing as the inferior function for an Ni-dom. I talk about my (mis)handling of grief as an Se-inferior person and finally I talk about my Fi experience with parental rejection.

Optimization and Te Recovery

In this reflection I talk about the my mastermind and the pathway to get there. I talk about dimensions of the middle passage as relating to optimization and recovery work for my Te. Finally I talk about personality systems as the best way to optimize and the irrelevance (and distraction) of scientific validation in the personal growth process.

Leadership, Effectiveness and Fe?

In this reflection, I fall into a rabbit hole right from the beginning. I unexpectedly talk about INFJ magic as relating to their leadership (the Fe) and how it contrasts to my leadership (with the Te).

Aging, Justice and Security

In this reflection, I talk about doing justice work as an INTJ8 all while maturing, aging and considering retirement.

The Inner World

In this reflection I talk about the inner world as juxtaposed against the outer world. In it I talk about physical insecurity and its relationship to emotional wellness. Finally I talk about ways demands of the outer crowd out or makes invalid important dimensions of the inner.

Stereotyped and Un-nuanced

This reflection is Part 2 to the previous reflection, "A Black Woman". In it, I talk about the four stereotypes given to black women (as framed by Melissa Harris-Perry). I also talk about the challenges of being black and intuitive versus being black and sensing. Finally I talk about being a cis-gendered black woman versus being a trans-gendered black woman (and the way black women experience rejection).
