Your Ni Dom

Doing Friendship as an Ni Dom

In this reflection, I start off talking about two concepts from the Big 5 personality framework: openness and agreeable-ness. After trying to unpack each, I talk about my challenge with being agreeable. Finally, I talk about how these concepts have played out in my friendships and my realization that they have caused turbulence. This is an incomplete reelection as I was learning about myself while talking. I will need to continue to reflect to figure or some competing/conflicting views I have within. I'm sure there will be a Part 2.

Unrestricted

In this reflection, I start off talking about a number of smaller ideas such as big personalities, being human, intellectual agency and President Donald Trump. With that being said, this reflection is mainly about educators and how in this podcast, I, as an educator, am breaking specific rules (such as having SMART goals, "starting with the end in mind," and always having "Aims, Goals and Objectives"). I end this reflection with a declaration that this project is about interrupting those expectations. By being unrestricted, I will give my introverted intuition (Ni) function more room to explore, uncover and create.

Data, Storage and Learning as an Ni Dom

This reflection is a two part mashup. In the first part, I talk about intersectionality and multiple points of powerlessness (bringing rare cognitive functions into the conversation). In the second part, I talk about learning theory as relationg to sensory data that moves from short term memory into long-term storage and retrieval. In the end, I raise the question of how rare intuitive types differ as learners and connect the proposed difference to communication styles.

The Disconnect

In this reflection I talk about my disconnect in real time conversations. I explain the disconnect in four ways: 1) Introversion (vs Extroversion); 2) Te (vs Ti); 3) Intuition (vs sensing); and 4) A vocabulary/word gap. I end the reflection with a question about the types of people or the specific scenarios in which I feel this gap the most.

Rhizomatic Thinking

In this reflection I talk about rhizomatic thinking. I also talk about quantum physics as relating to the Ni cognitive process. Finally I talk about the nonlinear nature of this podcast.

Questioning the Good

In this reflection I question the concept of good and my relationship to it. I spend time exploring anger as a necessary emotion for  the human species and the social world. Finally I process the inter-relatedness between being good, being effective and self actualizing.

Being a One as a Sanitized Eight

In this reflection I talk historically about my connection to the Enneagram Eight and One. I travel back in time to see when each quality surfaced and identified which trait begot the other. Finally, I explore the ways that each trait impacted personal life choices.

The Ni

In this reflection I talk a lot about the Ni's relationship with the Se. I talk about Se data points and how those data points inflence the nature of the Ni. Finally, I talk about the socioeconomic dimensions of Se access.

My Connection to Enneagram 8 and 1

In this reflection I talk my connection to Enneagram 8 and 1. Specifically I talk about energy levels, aggression and control.

87521 Context

In this reflection I talk about my emerging, but not quite developed, connection to the Enneagram. I talk about personality systems (the Enneagram, MBTI and the Big Five) as different maps of the same territory and my distinction amongst each of them. Finally I talk about my desire to specifically discuss my five Enneagram types: 8, 7, 5, 2 and 1.
