I've seen INTJs online criticize other INTJs because they only have a trajectory for their lives, not a concrete 15 year plan. Good to hear that a generalized path to their goal is a solid sign of Ni.
That’s where Te comes in. Te knows it HAS to be responsive to changing variables in. Ni is going that way no matter what. Where is the sensory line by line? Not as important.
I was part of a workshop today for NT women and one of the things that the facilitator said about Ni was that there was a great amount of play involved. Especially in conjunction with Te. There’s a willingness to recalibrate based on new information coming in. I’ve never realized how incredibly flexible INTJs thinking can be if they really honour their Te.
Sarah Meyers Countless times I've been told I was perceived as stubborn/arrogant/dismissive where what they noticed was me simply being confident. At times I'll try to get the other to at least entertain the thought that I'm very open. Regardless most times I'm met with a lack of willingness to just try. After checking with myself first for possibly engaging in a similar fashion, This tells me that they're the one who's lacking openness. That they're to some degree projecting. I'll table it until they've expressed they're ready to genuinely participate in the conversation.
Chess can be played both ways. You can either memorize procedures and tactics, and try out different ideas using those procedures (Si-Ne), or scan for relevant details on the board and be guided by goals - like controlling the center, activating pieces, getting a check matte, etc (Ni-Se)
as an ISFJ (Si dom) chess player, I only know a few basic tactics since there are always tons of tactics to memorise, etc. so I just stick to a basic one and play like a Ni dom (focusing on checkmate, controlling centre, etc.) I guess thats why she said this analogy wasnt better as I did relate with the Si sailing analogy!
Ni-Se: You know where the destination would be, but you are in fog which makes you only seeing things that are close. Si-Ne: You remember the route but you don't know the exact direction, while you can see distant things so that you can find familiar buoys to fix your direction.
This is so relatable. An ISTJ friend and I (wuth others) are going on a 3 day trip soon. My plan was based on this "time block" strategy. I knew which spots we wanted to go, and had set aside chunks of time for each of them, taking into consideration the travel time while also giving us a bit of buffer. She, on the other hand, had an Excel done for all 3 days, planning for each hour. She had even planned on where we would get our coffee. It is really amazing!
An explorative ISTJ will tend to loosen schedules and let the breeze take them places. Their schedule will go from locking in every detail to simply having a broad time block for each point on the to do list and let go of details like where to get coffee or whatever unless they really want to stop at a specific place... then again everyone has preferences.
I read the title and my first thought was: Ni plans, but it is a plan as we go kind of thing. We formulate based on the information we have and receive in order to achieve our goal. That's how I've always been, so I hated assignments in school that said to make a 5 year plan. Hell if I know! I barely know what I'm having for breakfast tomorrow!
I'm an INFJ and pretty sure my wife is ISFJ. I can't tell you how many times I've been driving and I start taking a different route to a familiar destination and she is like 'what are you doing?', 'why are you turning here?', 'why don't you just go this way?' (aka, the same way she always goes.) I've always enjoyed shaking things up, even if it means taking an extra 3 or 4 minutes. I guess I like knowing other options in case something happens in the future, like road construction or traffic, I then know how to move around it. But it just drives her crazy.
Lindsay’s Ni: “A to Q, or wherever you’re going” Because Q to Z = unnecessary sensory details My Ne: “A to 27. No, start at T. Wait - I have a better idea! Hieroglyphics!”
Si: Have the wind-boat angle optimal for maximum speed (Ne): Don't really care where the boat ends up Ni: Sail to the singular endpoint fastest (Se): Angle and turn the boat however necessary to get there (even if some other direction is faster right now, "ignoring the sensory") Seems that Si is like a "greedy" or locally optimal algorithm, Ni more like a global algorithm (not necessarily optimal). Whichever works better depends on the problem domain. (I did not like sailing)
Chess is a great way to tell apart INTPs (who use Ne and Si) from INTJs (who use Ni and Se) INTJs will: Adjust in the present to set up the kill stroke. More aggressive player. May tell you that you have 11 moves before checkmate. INTP will: Survive in the present to try and get to the endgame where the board is cleared up and the same method as always can be used to close the game (rooks are particularly useful). More defensive player. If they put you in checkmate before the board is relatively empty, you may know you lost before they know they´ve won.
Infj here. So true. I kind of felt like a bad "J"-type for not having set routines and being super exact with scheduling things out. Just the thought of doing things the exact same way all the time is imprisoning to me. But I'm also not impulsive or spontaneous at all XD Ni is just showing me the direction and as you said blocks out time for it and the rest just solves itself haha. People who tell me I have to do these exact Si procedures to reach a certain goal is just gaaah. >< it's just two very different ways to work, right?
Love the boat analogy. I’ve never sailed, as I live in the mountains. However, I often think of my Ni as a compass for a hiker lost in the woods. As long as you know the general direction, you can navigate yourself around obstacles and find your way. I now realize that the obstacles in my analogy are my Se challenges in real life.
Another example for Si: Cooking - You have one recipe which doesn't change itself. If you do each steps the same as the recipe says you will get the result in the end.
The sailboat analogy points out a subtle attribute of Ni. While Ni is convergent on the best way to get to the result, it is not static or closed. Ni narrows it down to the best path **right now with availlable data** and expects updates and adjusts. Ni does try to keep the noise down.
Thank you for this lol I need to send this to my family members. Whenever they ask me questions about what my plans are and what I'm doing. They're always expecting this grand list of steps. I always accomplish my goals in an "unconventional" way to them. I now just say, "you'll see" or "I'm working on it." Younger me used to struggle with desperately (so my parents would know I'm not bs'n) explaining my entire plan causing them to intervene and ruin my flow. I now answer vaguely bc they'll never understand my planning process since I could start in the middle and work my way up to go back to the middle and finish it thru lol.
The combination of Ni (long-term goal and proyection) and Te (efficiency and priority) results in the search for a practical solution that follows unique patterns and make a schedule about the priorities, sometimes we repeat methodologies (especially in household activities) this can be confused with Si, but we do this because we want to want to use the least of time and in the most effective way, but we do not limit ourselves to this, we mostly look for better ways to do the tasks and if we have to replace one habit with another, we do it without thinking twice (is not a harmony in the system that is one of the things Si prioritize) In other words, the Ni-Te/ Te-Ni combination can be confused with Si, because the first uses schedules and certain metodologies, to facilitate the arrival at the goal, and Si too but this is more related to the harmony in the system of the sensory world) Thanks, for the video Lijo :)
Ni/Te is a great combination to get stuff done, it allows for ~some~ flexibility in the process and the end result is still in very much in view (while Ni/Ti as an INFJ makes me stuck in a sort of mental planning sometimes, ideas that I ruminate about and while they influence what I do they're not really pushed into the real world by routines that are consistant).
Excellent explanation. That is surely how my Ni/Te works. Absolute operational efficiency based from a tried and tested method that is repeated over and over and continuously honed and improved. Until rendered obsolete and replaced. All for the sake of saving time for completion of the great plan/plans ahead.
I LOVE this analogy for so many reasons. I'm an INTJ and believe me I have my master plan. At this point, I know where I'm headed up until and beyond retirement. HOWEVER whenever I try to cement this plan in writing with all the little objectives and timelines in there I feel that this is a counter-intuitive activity for me YET this plan rules everything in my life. This is for the exact reasons that you've stated, especially contingencies. These always come and need to have their own little plans to be dealt with. Ni will always make space for contingencies. When I've tried to 'sensorize' this by trying to bring it all into the concrete world via a known system, even something like a year planner, I feel like imploding. Tbh, it's a waste of time anyway, because it would require even MORE sensory activity always having to refer to the written plan. It's just not how that function works. Trying to Si plan in the Ni realm is like trying to build a statue out of a cloud, it's made of a substance that's more fluid. Kind of like an eagle flying overhead, can't nail it down, but it sees everything!
I often don't know if things are going to go according to plan until they happen successfully. The first thing I ask people, "O.k what're you trying to accomplish?" I then think to myself, "... because your procedures might be garbage."
OMG! I was talking about that with my therapist this week. I know what my end goal is and I planning a trajectory but I don't know the details the sensory of each step. And that drives me crazy! Thanks for this video!!!! It gave a lot to think about 😜 P.s.: congrats on your nomination for the tech thing. Already voted for you!
Do you have any Ni suggestions if the end goal of others in control such as teachers or bosses is non disclosed or they continue to try to force Si upon the Ni person? It seems to really stall the Ni productivity.
What to say when Ne keeps saying an Ni, "The thing is you don't know that", BUT I DO KNOW IT!!! IT TAKES TIME TO ACTUALLY HAPPEN AND THEY JUST NEVER GET THIS. It's so frustrating.
Ne aux is just trying to warn you. Not that you´re wrong, but if it´s coming from an INxP, understand it´s probably being said with your best interest in mind. We can predict short term results pretty well.
ARGH! I get this so much. My daughter is Ne (ENFP) and I'm Ni (ENFJ). She is constantly saying, "You don't know that." Yet I KNOW I know it - if she were just patient enough to see how I'm going to be right in the end. (lol)
Oh my god. Thank you for explaining this. I am a planner but I struggle to schedule which my isfj MIL is very excellent at. She helps me implement schedules in my life and I help her recalibrate to reach goals and reach understanding.
The sailing metaphor works well to describe Ni general trajectory. As an intj I feel like this might be confusing to others specifically if the goal is a bit far down the road which means it connects a number of dots hence requires time. Also, it makes us move slowly in comparison to others. Frankly I struggle sometimes with this in a world that appreciates fast action, feeling slow can be overwhelming, although I have complete faith in my introverted intuition. Does anyone feel the same, and how do you cope?

Like that sailing analogy. Personality, when you said trajectory, my mind automatically switches to archery (the only sport I'm decently good at). When I'm on the training ground, everything else blurs away. When I get in the zone, it's just me and the target.
What I love about this is that his metaphor also applies to how I approach dating and relationships. I use Fe and Ni to abstractly plot a course towards a value target - and I don't know all the steps to get there, but I improvise.
This explains it beautifully. I never make very detailed plans, it is more of a vision with wiggle room and possibility for improvement/refinement as you go -and the variables are conceptual rather than concrete.. even if grounded in hard data. INTJ
So I imagine it this way (INFJ in here xD): Ni is like LiJo said like sailing, the path isn't structtured at all because, like thoughts, the water is in constant change, going back and forth and you can get either get slowed down by them or they push you faster towards your destination. Ni can only guess around how much time would it take to arrive to the destination because of the tides, the wind, etc. neither you know the exact path that you will travel, and even if you are going from point a to point b the path will always change a little. Si on the other hand is like driving a train (I don't know if the word driving fits correctly but I don't really know how it is called), Si dominant users have already a structured path that can only change small things, like if to change from trail a to trail b in intersection 10 to arrive to station blue. The paths never change, they stay the same unless something really unexpected happens.
As an INFP Ni has been hard for me to grasp. However, your sailing example not only makes it clear, but it reminds of the famous INTJ example, Michael Saylor, who also likes sailing!
Irrelevant to the main content of this video, but I’m an ENFP writing an ENTJ character and I decided yesterday she used to sail a lot as a child, which reminded me of you (I remembered your video about sailing as both a past experience and a metaphor) so I just went through your channel for a half hour trying to skim every single video I’ve watched from you so I could find the one about sailing… and then I basically searched the entire world just to scroll down far enough and have a sailboat thumbnail slap me in the face. Like dang. If I’d just looked through all the thumbnails first it would’ve been easier 😂 anyway this was helpful to watch, thank you
'Where there's a will, there's a way.' I can go on about crazy shit I've been asked to accomplish the past few months - never done any of it before - have 0 clue how to do it - but the answer is 'yes.' Don't know how but I'll figure it out.
Immediate first impression: I love the new location you're filming at! The lighting looks natural and the colors also feel natural, calming, and pleasing. I like the composition and peaceful elements in the background as well. And excellent content as always 😀
Can you do a video on Se and Fe, and how to tell them apart as a hero function, and how would they be as the second function, like ESFJ vs ESFP , Thanks
Actually 3 days ago I wrote my first comment ever on YT under your video 'INTJ Depression? Ni-Fi Loop' and I'm here since forever. Guess what? I was rambling about being how fulfilling and satisfying for my cognitive functions being sailing instructor is even though I can't say I like the activity itself. But the way my functions can be used gives me this pleasurable feeling of almost reaching my full potential ;) The whole process is some kind of Ni and Te-Se binging for me. So, yup, I get ya girl. High five fellow sailor friend!
I know I wanna study SOMETHING like geography and work in SOME kinda public sector job and go to SOME university... but who knows if I'll ever nail down the details? :D
Insightful video as always. When making a plan ( for eg studying a particular tech ), I keep coming up with at least 4 different strategies which keep replacing themselves, the last one being the most effective.
So I've been thinking I'm Se/Ni for a while. This idea of trajectory over procedure actually ties everything together for me. I tried planning out everything to get a coffee one day. It was really hard to do because I always missed some detail in the middle. Of course I adjusted the plan on the fly to fill in those details. I always thought that was my poor Ni, but it was really just a complete lack of Si.
Fellow INTJ here. Work in healthcare (psychiatry), a highly protocolised environment, and even though in some cases I see the point of protocols it is also mind numbing to me and it stifles out of the box/creative thinking in the organisation. Healthcare is a very Si environment, as Lindsay put it well, they know from the past if they do x-y-z they will get outcome 1. And they love it. Whereas I sort of intuitively see where I wish to go with a patient (goals that I make together with patient), but when I set them with him/her I only have a vague idea of how I am going to get there. It is then I start reflecting, do my research, analyse the situation + patient and come up with a plan. It is the same in my personal life. I know where I want to go and if I do not, through Ni+Fi (looking inward), I figure it out. But I do not immediately have a step by step plan (like an IKEA manual) of how I am going to get there. That needs to be researched.
Everyday I'm more and more wholly sure that I'm INFP even tho I can only take scientific-ish career rn. I def need procedure more than destination, like the destination can vary later as long as it takes me the same steps to get there. Thanks for the precious input 🙌
I kinda see Ni as this Trajectory Thing like in the Movie Donnie Darko. Your Focus on the Destination or Goal sort of pulls you there automatically without too much conscious Effort. Following that Analogy, Si would then be like 'Speedlines'. Measuring your 'Success' by the Distance you took in a given Time. (looking back; being more tangible and proof based)
Wow LiJo!! As soon as you mentioned sailing and liking it, you could see the state change!! You're amazing! Especially with helping to shape understand these differences with the sensory and emotional clarity of your examples 😉
Ni-Se user this analogy illuminated a huge area for me, trying to incorporate Si scheduling has not worked for me and in fact all the detail overwhelms and Ti comes in with analysis paralysis and nothing gets done. However instinctively I do feel pulled in towards the goal and I find myself receiving the right inspiration to get over the hurdle as I am faced with it, I want to incorporate a more ‘disciplined’ approach? Not sure yet but for now Rolling with the punches even when it really infuriates people when I am leading. I am happy I’m aware that our stacks serve towards different strengths! 😄
Great analogy!! I took a look at my planner and yeah... I block certain amounts of hours for certain aspects of my work and move freely within that time slot. Love it when those similarities become apparent!! you need a lav mic tho hahah
Is this Ni or Si? Searching for a new trending restaurant that I planned to go with my friend. Before I go to the restaurant, I search first which food has the lowest price in order for me to save some money and which food is not recommended by people’s review so I can avoid it. I am very grateful and happy if you replied to my comment Ms. LiJo 😊
as an intj myself with STRONG Ni, i have said for the LONGEST time now that... 'i dont know where im going. i just know im getting there.' that is... SUCCESS. (what, specifically, that success IS is nothing but details... :) :) :) )
Good airline pilots must have high Si just to memorize and constantly follow the checklists. My dh has high Si and I have high Ni so now I see why we drive each other crazy. I now just need to tell him the goal and leave him to workout his plan
The boat analogy was great!! And yeah this was nice info.... Though can we hv more on this... Perhaps a series to understand many aspects of these functions?
I love the new format! Nice intro/outro music, lighting, setting. You rock all of your content, but this is quite nice. (And is your hair a bit different in color? Also flattering.)
Thank you!! My hair is the same but the lighting setup (which I’m still mastering my ugh) and camera settings may make my skin/hair look different from video to video. Essentially I have two locations where I shoot, with different lights. Lol aghhh things
I like the PAN music...in BG. :-) Planning lol and schedule...even durnig corona? The IN types have more the bigger picture...but its not about "goal" or "destination" but the way and growth itself. But IN want to make things happen in reality in the E...Extroversion, in real life that is why some need the T and the S...that is why I think I am very impressed by all your stuff and Joes as well.
No and No. Relying on and making particular use of / greatly benefiting from planning and scheduling clearly could be more of a J > P thing rather than anything at all to do with Ni or Si. We could say that IJs & EJs benefit differently but thats another matter.
Very off-topic but I loooove this new look on your video! Very aesthetically pleasing and calming, especially as I've recently found out I really like this darker, richer tone in home decor, fashion etc. Care to share how did you do this with the lighting? With edit I can grasp the idea of, but your filming light seems very nice and soft yet precise without being too clear/studio-like.
Thanks! So i have two filming locations based off how late I’m working and on what days. My office has the green screen (and also this nice area I just started using) and my home had the cooler tones/white. But lighting is a factor too because my LED lights are home and the office has my good light kit with tungsten lights and proper diffusers. One thing I have to nail down is the echo in this room!
ISTP here, Interesting analogy! Ni is a tough concept for me to grip as I have it as a demon, How do you consciously Ni-organize the Se data you gathered? Most of the time, I feel like i don't know what i know until someone asks me a question and thats when i realize I had gathered the Se data sometime somewhere.
Ni is trajectory and Se is new sensory. If Ni is the endpoint of the race, Se is the wind in the sail and moving within the physical boat. The fastest way to the end is positioning angles so you have as little movement (tacks or turns) within the race as possible. The movement, wind, additional “stuff” is Se.
Do u think that si users tend to be more supertitious? As a major thing could ve happened earlier in that day and the si user used that as a step to reach that goal
Andrew Weatherall R.I.P. a UK dj had it tattooed on his arm. A very good and talented human.Its about fishermen knowing they need to go out,but not knowing if they will ever come back. Definitely worth a T-shirt.
I beat myself up this morning for not meeting my self-imposed job assessment schedule by a solid 2 minutes. I then read more about the "job assessment" third party corporation and realized it was a psych profile intended for people of higher attained degree. I also realized I might in fact break the assessment, so for their benefit, I clicked the "X" button instead of "Begin Assessment" and forgave myself the untimely trespass. PS I passed the initial "assessment" by playing ENTJ. E-Barf
I have like, super tertiary Si, which I really need to work on because I procrastinate and I'm disorganized. I'm lowkey sad I don't have Ni with the Se. Ne can be unbearable sometimes, pls trade with me. It can completely unbalance my internal state, I don't know how to describe it, like its so chaotic sometimes. I feel like if Si is known I don't know how to support it either, because I use very theoretical methods it's not practical. Anyways. I think all of the functions are pretty close together, like we aren't so alien from one another really.
Let's compare ISTJ(Si) and INTJ(Ni) in this sailing situation... ISTJ: "We need to follow these steps religiously in order to safely reach our destination " INTJ: "Go to Hell Sensory... I am above all these small details (demon Si).... and I will arrive at my destination ...one way or another " in the end ...ISTJ reaches their destignation safely ....and INTJ will be remembered like a Titanic Ship...
Hey LiJo, do you have a video about being yourself as an INTJ. I've been deep into mbti and everyone have this stereotypes about INTJs being this and that, and honestly It got me to the point that I'm operating on what the whole mbti community states. I'm INTJ yes.. but I still struggle with identity, like, I don't know how to operate in a given situation, like the "should I do this?" and I attempted it, but sometimes I did it because I read about it and just followed what they say an INTJ is most likely to do... I felt like every action I made is because I read about myself, but not me being myself... or am I just confused. edit: the thing is, I feel like even if you make a video, it feels like I'm still following the "INTJ way"
Oh gosh I wouldn’t read any of the INTJ bullshit and make your decisions off that. If it’s your type, you’ll make those decisions as a default, not because you consciously have to. However tuning in to the identity something that’s important on an Fi level and I should make a video about that.
You find the typing that best fits you. You never fit yourself to the type. Otherwise there'll always be resistance to what's natural. It doesn't matter if it deviates from what you've read or not.
I'm INTJ but sometimes it's just confusing... maybe "I don't wanna be INTJ" because there's like this thing telling me how I should act... but yeah. Found this Channel helpful in the "signs that you're not INTJ" Vid and I'm "Oh sh*t, that's so me". haha that broke the stereotype... But yeah, I'm developin Fi
I've only been learning about the cognitive functions for the past few days and I have a question. If somebody has a sensing function in their last slot, are they more likely to miss/not hear their alarm clock?
Thought I was infp but too scheduled to be one and my si is sketchy but there and I stress through changes not under my control Can trauma change FE to FI? I know I shouldn't be the way I am Realise I could be on si ti loop due to stress instead of fi- si

How did you become the spokesperson for Snugg? PS: Ni = Navigation PSS: You shouldn't limit the scope of Snugg to just youtube creators, lots of twitch creators, podcasters, etc would like to sell consultations. Market to all content creators.
I've come to the conclusion that Ni users need to know how to Si at least a little bit, for the following important reason. My colleague: Hey Jim, you know that thing that only you can fix, but that you hate having to deal with because you think it's a massive waste of your time? Well, great news! Your Si-using colleague has agreed to take responsibility for it so you never need to be bothered with it again! All you need to do is explain, step by step, exactly how you solved the problem and wrap it up in a neat procedure for him. Me: Erk ...
I love this explanation To me it seems like the " Law of attraction " You don't need to know HOW you get there step by step, you just KNOW you are going to get there , just like going to a totally new destination with the car , the GPS will take care of the Si specific procedure , based on where you wanna go Ni , but dominant Ni - Se will probably prefer not using GPS and just pay attention to some (Se) surrounding details like the sun orientation , (Se) signs on the road with the Ni goal in mind. Some of the most fascinating times in my life were when I had to accomplish something new and challenging and said : I don't know how ( Si ) I'm going to do it BUT , I'm going to achieve this ( Ni ) on time , efficiently , I trust my mind, the universe, my intuition that I will find the best way And then I surprise even myself Because I achieve the whatever I want to achieve without necessarily knowing how . As an ENFP, sometimes I fall in the trap of Si procedures failing to see the goal and after a while I'm like , fuck , it's so tiring and all this small steps precision is not actually the most efficient way to get there , and when I remind myself the clear destination and trust the unconscious taking care of procedure, it all works fine .
I've seen INTJs online criticize other INTJs because they only have a trajectory for their lives, not a concrete 15 year plan. Good to hear that a generalized path to their goal is a solid sign of Ni.
Agreed. The only thing I have that's concrete about a plan is the starting date/time and the completion date/time of a goal.
That’s where Te comes in. Te knows it HAS to be responsive to changing variables in. Ni is going that way no matter what. Where is the sensory line by line? Not as important.
I was part of a workshop today for NT women and one of the things that the facilitator said about Ni was that there was a great amount of play involved. Especially in conjunction with Te. There’s a willingness to recalibrate based on new information coming in. I’ve never realized how incredibly flexible INTJs thinking can be if they really honour their Te.

Ni plans are generally seen as imaginary to those with Si
Chess can be played both ways. You can either memorize procedures and tactics, and try out different ideas using those procedures (Si-Ne), or scan for relevant details on the board and be guided by goals - like controlling the center, activating pieces, getting a check matte, etc (Ni-Se)
as an ISFJ (Si dom) chess player, I only know a few basic tactics since there are always tons of tactics to memorise, etc. so I just stick to a basic one and play like a Ni dom (focusing on checkmate, controlling centre, etc.)
I guess thats why she said this analogy wasnt better as I did relate with the Si sailing analogy!
INTJs dominate elite chess btw
Ni-Se: You know where the destination would be, but you are in fog which makes you only seeing things that are close.
Si-Ne: You remember the route but you don't know the exact direction, while you can see distant things so that you can find familiar buoys to fix your direction.
amazing explanation!
This is so relatable. An ISTJ friend and I (wuth others) are going on a 3 day trip soon. My plan was based on this "time block" strategy. I knew which spots we wanted to go, and had set aside chunks of time for each of them, taking into consideration the travel time while also giving us a bit of buffer.

An explorative ISTJ will tend to loosen schedules and let the breeze take them places. Their schedule will go from locking in every detail to simply having a broad time block for each point on the to do list and let go of details like where to get coffee or whatever unless they really want to stop at a specific place... then again everyone has preferences.
Ni-exploring the unknown.
Si-absorbing information from past experience.
exactly :)
* Si - Absorbing Information in the Present.
I read the title and my first thought was: Ni plans, but it is a plan as we go kind of thing. We formulate based on the information we have and receive in order to achieve our goal. That's how I've always been, so I hated assignments in school that said to make a 5 year plan. Hell if I know! I barely know what I'm having for breakfast tomorrow!
I'm an INFJ and pretty sure my wife is ISFJ. I can't tell you how many times I've been driving and I start taking a different route to a familiar destination and she is like 'what are you doing?', 'why are you turning here?', 'why don't you just go this way?' (aka, the same way she always goes.) I've always enjoyed shaking things up, even if it means taking an extra 3 or 4 minutes. I guess I like knowing other options in case something happens in the future, like road construction or traffic, I then know how to move around it. But it just drives her crazy.
Lindsay’s Ni: “A to Q, or wherever you’re going”
Because Q to Z = unnecessary sensory details
My Ne: “A to 27. No, start at T. Wait - I have a better idea! Hieroglyphics!”
Hahaha damn yup 😂👍🏻
HAHAHAHA 😂 my Ne agrees
hahahahah yeah I love my high Ne users!
Si: Have the wind-boat angle optimal for maximum speed
(Ne): Don't really care where the boat ends up
Ni: Sail to the singular endpoint fastest
(Se): Angle and turn the boat however necessary to get there (even if some other direction is faster right now, "ignoring the sensory")
Seems that Si is like a "greedy" or locally optimal algorithm, Ni more like a global algorithm (not necessarily optimal). Whichever works better depends on the problem domain.
(I did not like sailing)
Chess is a great way to tell apart INTPs (who use Ne and Si) from INTJs (who use Ni and Se)
INTJs will: Adjust in the present to set up the kill stroke. More aggressive player. May tell you that you have 11 moves before checkmate.
INTP will: Survive in the present to try and get to the endgame where the board is cleared up and the same method as always can be used to close the game (rooks are particularly useful). More defensive player. If they put you in checkmate before the board is relatively empty, you may know you lost before they know they´ve won.
Infj here. So true. I kind of felt like a bad "J"-type for not having set routines and being super exact with scheduling things out. Just the thought of doing things the exact same way all the time is imprisoning to me. But I'm also not impulsive or spontaneous at all XD Ni is just showing me the direction and as you said blocks out time for it and the rest just solves itself haha. People who tell me I have to do these exact Si procedures to reach a certain goal is just gaaah. >< it's just two very different ways to work, right?
Same, INFJ feel like the least J of J types
@@LittleMew133The Ni is abstract and is backed by Fe which likes to adapt...no wonder you feel less J, you are the least J of the J
Love the boat analogy. I’ve never sailed, as I live in the mountains. However, I often think of my Ni as a compass for a hiker lost in the woods. As long as you know the general direction, you can navigate yourself around obstacles and find your way. I now realize that the obstacles in my analogy are my Se challenges in real life.
Another example for Si:
Cooking - You have one recipe which doesn't change itself. If you do each steps the same as the recipe says you will get the result in the end.
The sailboat analogy points out a subtle attribute of Ni. While Ni is convergent on the best way to get to the result, it is not static or closed. Ni narrows it down to the best path **right now with availlable data** and expects updates and adjusts. Ni does try to keep the noise down.
Thank you for this lol I need to send this to my family members. Whenever they ask me questions about what my plans are and what I'm doing. They're always expecting this grand list of steps. I always accomplish my goals in an "unconventional" way to them. I now just say, "you'll see" or "I'm working on it." Younger me used to struggle with desperately (so my parents would know I'm not bs'n) explaining my entire plan causing them to intervene and ruin my flow. I now answer vaguely bc they'll never understand my planning process since I could start in the middle and work my way up to go back to the middle and finish it thru lol.
The combination of Ni (long-term goal and proyection) and Te (efficiency and priority) results in the search for a practical solution that follows unique patterns and make a schedule about the priorities, sometimes we repeat methodologies (especially in household activities) this can be confused with Si, but we do this because we want to want to use the least of time and in the most effective way,
but we do not limit ourselves to this, we mostly look for better ways to do the tasks and if we have to replace one habit with another, we do it without thinking twice (is not a harmony in the system that is one of the things Si prioritize)
In other words, the Ni-Te/ Te-Ni combination can be confused with Si, because the first uses schedules and certain metodologies, to facilitate the arrival at the goal, and Si too but this is more related to the harmony in the system of the sensory world)
Thanks, for the video Lijo :)
Ni/Te is a great combination to get stuff done, it allows for ~some~ flexibility in the process and the end result is still in very much in view (while Ni/Ti as an INFJ makes me stuck in a sort of mental planning sometimes, ideas that I ruminate about and while they influence what I do they're not really pushed into the real world by routines that are consistant).
Excellent explanation. That is surely how my Ni/Te works. Absolute operational efficiency based from a tried and tested method that is repeated over and over and continuously honed and improved. Until rendered obsolete and replaced. All for the sake of saving time for completion of the great plan/plans ahead.
Well said. "Harmony in the system," is an insightful way to look at Si.
I LOVE this analogy for so many reasons. I'm an INTJ and believe me I have my master plan. At this point, I know where I'm headed up until and beyond retirement. HOWEVER whenever I try to cement this plan in writing with all the little objectives and timelines in there I feel that this is a counter-intuitive activity for me YET this plan rules everything in my life. This is for the exact reasons that you've stated, especially contingencies. These always come and need to have their own little plans to be dealt with. Ni will always make space for contingencies. When I've tried to 'sensorize' this by trying to bring it all into the concrete world via a known system, even something like a year planner, I feel like imploding. Tbh, it's a waste of time anyway, because it would require even MORE sensory activity always having to refer to the written plan. It's just not how that function works. Trying to Si plan in the Ni realm is like trying to build a statue out of a cloud, it's made of a substance that's more fluid. Kind of like an eagle flying overhead, can't nail it down, but it sees everything!
I often don't know if things are going to go according to plan until they happen successfully. The first thing I ask people, "O.k what're you trying to accomplish?" I then think to myself, "... because your procedures might be garbage."
That’s how it happens!
You just spoke Si language with that boat example I'm so proud. Wish my lectures had been over earlier so that I could've been here for the premiere
OMG! I was talking about that with my therapist this week. I know what my end goal is and I planning a trajectory but I don't know the details the sensory of each step. And that drives me crazy! Thanks for this video!!!! It gave a lot to think about 😜
P.s.: congrats on your nomination for the tech thing. Already voted for you!
Do you have any Ni suggestions if the end goal of others in control such as teachers or bosses is non disclosed or they continue to try to force Si upon the Ni person? It seems to really stall the Ni productivity.
What to say when Ne keeps saying an Ni,
"The thing is you don't know that",
BUT I DO KNOW IT!!! IT TAKES TIME TO ACTUALLY HAPPEN AND THEY JUST NEVER GET THIS.
It's so frustrating.
Ne aux is just trying to warn you. Not that you´re wrong, but if it´s coming from an INxP, understand it´s probably being said with your best interest in mind. We can predict short term results pretty well.
ARGH! I get this so much. My daughter is Ne (ENFP) and I'm Ni (ENFJ). She is constantly saying, "You don't know that." Yet I KNOW I know it - if she were just patient enough to see how I'm going to be right in the end. (lol)
@@cathyhart3946 yes exactly ikr!
Oh my god. Thank you for explaining this. I am a planner but I struggle to schedule which my isfj MIL is very excellent at. She helps me implement schedules in my life and I help her recalibrate to reach goals and reach understanding.
Glad it fit the puzzle!
The sailing metaphor works well to describe Ni general trajectory. As an intj I feel like this might be confusing to others specifically if the goal is a bit far down the road which means it connects a number of dots hence requires time. Also, it makes us move slowly in comparison to others. Frankly I struggle sometimes with this in a world that appreciates fast action, feeling slow can be overwhelming, although I have complete faith in my introverted intuition. Does anyone feel the same, and how do you cope?
Ugh the fast action thing is a killer. I can’t move until the thing is ready.

That’s so strange because today I thought a lot about Si and Ni differences. And what a big surprise - this video! Thank you for clear explanation!
The collective unconscious provides!
Like that sailing analogy. Personality, when you said trajectory, my mind automatically switches to archery (the only sport I'm decently good at).
When I'm on the training ground, everything else blurs away. When I get in the zone, it's just me and the target.
What I love about this is that his metaphor also applies to how I approach dating and relationships. I use Fe and Ni to abstractly plot a course towards a value target - and I don't know all the steps to get there, but I improvise.
Thanks a lot! This was very helpful for me! To understand difference.
This explains it beautifully. I never make very detailed plans, it is more of a vision with wiggle room and possibility for improvement/refinement as you go -and the variables are conceptual rather than concrete.. even if grounded in hard data. INTJ
So I imagine it this way (INFJ in here xD):
Ni is like LiJo said like sailing, the path isn't structtured at all because, like thoughts, the water is in constant change, going back and forth and you can get either get slowed down by them or they push you faster towards your destination. Ni can only guess around how much time would it take to arrive to the destination because of the tides, the wind, etc. neither you know the exact path that you will travel, and even if you are going from point a to point b the path will always change a little.
Si on the other hand is like driving a train (I don't know if the word driving fits correctly but I don't really know how it is called), Si dominant users have already a structured path that can only change small things, like if to change from trail a to trail b in intersection 10 to arrive to station blue. The paths never change, they stay the same unless something really unexpected happens.
As an INFP Ni has been hard for me to grasp. However, your sailing example not only makes it clear, but it reminds of the famous INTJ example, Michael Saylor, who also likes sailing!
Irrelevant to the main content of this video, but I’m an ENFP writing an ENTJ character and I decided yesterday she used to sail a lot as a child, which reminded me of you (I remembered your video about sailing as both a past experience and a metaphor) so I just went through your channel for a half hour trying to skim every single video I’ve watched from you so I could find the one about sailing… and then I basically searched the entire world just to scroll down far enough and have a sailboat thumbnail slap me in the face. Like dang. If I’d just looked through all the thumbnails first it would’ve been easier 😂 anyway this was helpful to watch, thank you
'Where there's a will, there's a way.' I can go on about crazy shit I've been asked to accomplish the past few months - never done any of it before - have 0 clue how to do it - but the answer is 'yes.' Don't know how but I'll figure it out.
Immediate first impression: I love the new location you're filming at! The lighting looks natural and the colors also feel natural, calming, and pleasing. I like the composition and peaceful elements in the background as well.
And excellent content as always 😀
Thank you! This is at my office. Sometimes I film from home. It depends :)
Can you do a video on Se and Fe, and how to tell them apart as a hero function,
and how would they be as the second function, like ESFJ vs ESFP ,
Thanks
This was amazing! Please do more videos like this, explaining functions through analogy!
Actually 3 days ago I wrote my first comment ever on YT under your video 'INTJ Depression? Ni-Fi Loop' and I'm here since forever. Guess what? I was rambling about being how fulfilling and satisfying for my cognitive functions being sailing instructor is even though I can't say I like the activity itself. But the way my functions can be used gives me this pleasurable feeling of almost reaching my full potential ;) The whole process is some kind of Ni and Te-Se binging for me. So, yup, I get ya girl. High five fellow sailor friend!
I know I wanna study SOMETHING like geography and work in SOME kinda public sector job and go to SOME university... but who knows if I'll ever nail down the details? :D
Insightful video as always. When making a plan ( for eg studying a particular tech ), I keep coming up with at least 4 different strategies which keep replacing themselves, the last one being the most effective.
"...your journey from A to Q."...? So INTJ. This was very helpful to my understanding why procedural types drive me up the wall. Thanks, bud!
Awesome 🖤🖤
Ni: top-down
Si: bottom-up
Excellent work, Lindsay!! Your channel & your examples are sooo insightful. Thank you! 💗
Thank you so much!
So I've been thinking I'm Se/Ni for a while.
This idea of trajectory over procedure actually ties everything together for me.
I tried planning out everything to get a coffee one day. It was really hard to do because I always missed some detail in the middle. Of course I adjusted the plan on the fly to fill in those details. I always thought that was my poor Ni, but it was really just a complete lack of Si.
YES!! You get it :)
Fellow INTJ here. Work in healthcare (psychiatry), a highly protocolised environment, and even though in some cases I see the point of protocols it is also mind numbing to me and it stifles out of the box/creative thinking in the organisation. Healthcare is a very Si environment, as Lindsay put it well, they know from the past if they do x-y-z they will get outcome 1. And they love it. Whereas I sort of intuitively see where I wish to go with a patient (goals that I make together with patient), but when I set them with him/her I only have a vague idea of how I am going to get there. It is then I start reflecting, do my research, analyse the situation + patient and come up with a plan. It is the same in my personal life. I know where I want to go and if I do not, through Ni+Fi (looking inward), I figure it out. But I do not immediately have a step by step plan (like an IKEA manual) of how I am going to get there. That needs to be researched.
(INFP) Pfft! Ni/Si sail boating... Hold my beer, I'ma sail a boat with nothing but sheer Fi.
Everyday I'm more and more wholly sure that I'm INFP even tho I can only take scientific-ish career rn.
I def need procedure more than destination, like the destination can vary later as long as it takes me the same steps to get there.
Thanks for the precious input 🙌
Love it, great analogy.
Did anyone spot the dolphin??
This is the best analogy I've ever heard to understand Ni... Now I can better understand my friends with Ni-Se:)
That’s the level of usefulness I strive to achieve in my videos! Thank you!
I kinda see Ni as this Trajectory Thing like in the Movie Donnie Darko.
Your Focus on the Destination or Goal sort of pulls you there automatically without too much conscious Effort.
Following that Analogy, Si would then be like 'Speedlines'. Measuring your 'Success' by the Distance you took in a given Time. (looking back; being more tangible and proof based)
The analogy was very insightful, Thank you.
Ah! So glad people are getting it!!
Wow LiJo!! As soon as you mentioned sailing and liking it, you could see the state change!! You're amazing! Especially with helping to shape understand these differences with the sensory and emotional clarity of your examples 😉
Ni-Se user this analogy illuminated a huge area for me, trying to incorporate Si scheduling has not worked for me and in fact all the detail overwhelms and Ti comes in with analysis paralysis and nothing gets done. However instinctively I do feel pulled in towards the goal and I find myself receiving the right inspiration to get over the hurdle as I am faced with it, I want to incorporate a more ‘disciplined’ approach? Not sure yet but for now Rolling with the punches even when it really infuriates people when I am leading. I am happy I’m aware that our stacks serve towards different strengths! 😄
The boat analogy is sooo Ni hahaha.
Ugh it is. It’s so annoying lol
I don't know how, but I have to know what Ni is about
:)
Thank you, Lindsay
thanks to you I'm understanding the functions better, and even me
Great analogy!! I took a look at my planner and yeah... I block certain amounts of hours for certain aspects of my work and move freely within that time slot. Love it when those similarities become apparent!! you need a lav mic tho hahah
Lmao I know my sound needs a serious upgrade
Oh I love you girly💯🙏🙌Awesome 🙋♀️ENFJ 😁

Is this Ni or Si?
Searching for a new trending restaurant that I planned to go with my friend. Before I go to the restaurant, I search first which food has the lowest price in order for me to save some money and which food is not recommended by people’s review so I can avoid it.
I am very grateful and happy if you replied to my comment Ms. LiJo 😊
as an intj myself with STRONG Ni, i have said for the LONGEST time now that...
'i dont know where im going. i just know im getting there.'
that is... SUCCESS.
(what, specifically, that success IS is nothing but details... :) :) :) )
I sailed once. Horrifying. Thought I was gonna die.
This explained a good amount. Makes sense now.
👽🖤
Wow so well explained , I want to try sailing now !
Good airline pilots must have high Si just to memorize and constantly follow the checklists.
My dh has high Si and I have high Ni so now I see why we drive each other crazy. I now just need to tell him the goal and leave him to workout his plan
The Ni dominant favorite sport is sailing? I hope you brought a life jacket
Lol with practice we can do things ok
The boat analogy was great!!
And yeah this was nice info.... Though can we hv more on this... Perhaps a series to understand many aspects of these functions?
Yep! Im going to try to expand on parts of them more and more in future videos. :)

Amazing analogy!
I love the new format! Nice intro/outro music, lighting, setting. You rock all of your content, but this is quite nice. (And is your hair a bit different in color? Also flattering.)
Thank you!! My hair is the same but the lighting setup (which I’m still mastering my ugh) and camera settings may make my skin/hair look different from video to video. Essentially I have two locations where I shoot, with different lights. Lol aghhh things
I like the PAN music...in BG. :-) Planning lol and schedule...even durnig corona? The IN types have more the bigger picture...but its not about "goal" or "destination" but the way and growth itself. But IN want to make things happen in reality in the E...Extroversion, in real life that is why some need the T and the S...that is why I think I am very impressed by all your stuff and Joes as well.
No and No. Relying on and making particular use of / greatly benefiting from planning and scheduling clearly could be more of a J > P thing rather than anything at all to do with Ni or Si. We could say that IJs & EJs benefit differently but thats another matter.
Very off-topic but I loooove this new look on your video! Very aesthetically pleasing and calming, especially as I've recently found out I really like this darker, richer tone in home decor, fashion etc. Care to share how did you do this with the lighting? With edit I can grasp the idea of, but your filming light seems very nice and soft yet precise without being too clear/studio-like.
Thanks! So i have two filming locations based off how late I’m working and on what days. My office has the green screen (and also this nice area I just started using) and my home had the cooler tones/white. But lighting is a factor too because my LED lights are home and the office has my good light kit with tungsten lights and proper diffusers. One thing I have to nail down is the echo in this room!
ISTP here, Interesting analogy! Ni is a tough concept for me to grip as I have it as a demon,
How do you consciously Ni-organize the Se data you gathered?
Most of the time, I feel like i don't know what i know until someone asks me a question and thats when i realize I had gathered the Se data sometime somewhere.
So... if Ni have a fishkeeping hobby... Ni care about when the fish get to their most beautiful form/state... what do Si feel/look like?
Si is the proper way to balance the water in the tank to maintain the proper Ph
I'm 100% an ISTJ but I relate to the ways of the INTJ more in this video. Maybe this means i'm not so healthy.
Not fair ill like to see more analogies, so how would be with ni precedure vs se (?)
Using sailing as exemple was super dop
Ni is trajectory and Se is new sensory. If Ni is the endpoint of the race, Se is the wind in the sail and moving within the physical boat. The fastest way to the end is positioning angles so you have as little movement (tacks or turns) within the race as possible. The movement, wind, additional “stuff” is Se.
I need to study NI more...
Your thumbnail is so aesthetic
Do u think that si users tend to be more supertitious? As a major thing could ve happened earlier in that day and the si user used that as a step to reach that goal
I’ve heard that theory before!
Fail we may,
Sail we must.
Lmao... ok that needs a T-shirt
Andrew Weatherall R.I.P. a UK dj had it tattooed on his arm. A very good and talented human.Its about fishermen knowing they need to go out,but not knowing if they will ever come back. Definitely worth a T-shirt.
I beat myself up this morning for not meeting my self-imposed job assessment schedule by a solid 2 minutes. I then read more about the "job assessment" third party corporation and realized it was a psych profile intended for people of higher attained degree. I also realized I might in fact break the assessment, so for their benefit, I clicked the "X" button instead of "Begin Assessment" and forgave myself the untimely trespass. PS I passed the initial "assessment" by playing ENTJ. E-Barf
I have like, super tertiary Si, which I really need to work on because I procrastinate and I'm disorganized. I'm lowkey sad I don't have Ni with the Se. Ne can be unbearable sometimes, pls trade with me. It can completely unbalance my internal state, I don't know how to describe it, like its so chaotic sometimes. I feel like if Si is known I don't know how to support it either, because I use very theoretical methods it's not practical. Anyways. I think all of the functions are pretty close together, like we aren't so alien from one another really.
no wonder archery is the only physical activity/sport i enjoy
Let's compare ISTJ(Si) and INTJ(Ni) in this sailing situation...
ISTJ: "We need to follow these steps religiously in order to safely reach our destination "
INTJ: "Go to Hell Sensory... I am above all these small details (demon Si).... and I will arrive at my destination ...one way or another "
in the end ...ISTJ reaches their destignation safely ....and INTJ will be remembered like a Titanic Ship...
😂😂
So accurate! 🎇
Hey LiJo, do you have a video about being yourself as an INTJ. I've been deep into mbti and everyone have this stereotypes about INTJs being this and that, and honestly It got me to the point that I'm operating on what the whole mbti community states. I'm INTJ yes.. but I still struggle with identity, like, I don't know how to operate in a given situation, like the "should I do this?" and I attempted it, but sometimes I did it because I read about it and just followed what they say an INTJ is most likely to do... I felt like every action I made is because I read about myself, but not me being myself... or am I just confused.
edit:
the thing is, I feel like even if you make a video, it feels like I'm still following the "INTJ way"
Oh gosh I wouldn’t read any of the INTJ bullshit and make your decisions off that. If it’s your type, you’ll make those decisions as a default, not because you consciously have to. However tuning in to the identity something that’s important on an Fi level and I should make a video about that.
LiJo Amen
You find the typing that best fits you. You never fit yourself to the type. Otherwise there'll always be resistance to what's natural.
It doesn't matter if it deviates from what you've read or not.
I'm INTJ but sometimes it's just confusing... maybe "I don't wanna be INTJ" because there's like this thing telling me how I should act... but yeah.

It’s hard to say, it’s a very anecdotal indicator. My suggestion would be to put a horrible song as the alarm.
Thought I was infp but too scheduled to be one and my si is sketchy but there and I stress through changes not under my control
Can trauma change FE to FI? I know I shouldn't be the way I am

I've come to the conclusion that Ni users need to know how to Si at least a little bit, for the following important reason.
My colleague: Hey Jim, you know that thing that only you can fix, but that you hate having to deal with because you think it's a massive waste of your time? Well, great news! Your Si-using colleague has agreed to take responsibility for it so you never need to be bothered with it again! All you need to do is explain, step by step, exactly how you solved the problem and wrap it up in a neat procedure for him.
Me: Erk ...
I love this explanation
To me it seems like the " Law of attraction "
You don't need to know HOW you get there step by step, you just KNOW you are going to get there , just like going to a totally new destination with the car , the GPS will take care of the Si specific procedure , based on where you wanna go Ni , but dominant Ni - Se will probably prefer not using GPS and just pay attention to some (Se) surrounding details like the sun orientation , (Se) signs on the road with the Ni goal in mind.
Some of the most fascinating times in my life were when I had to accomplish something new and challenging and said :
I don't know how ( Si ) I'm going to do it
BUT , I'm going to achieve this ( Ni ) on time , efficiently , I trust my mind, the universe, my intuition that I will find the best way
And then I surprise even myself
Because I achieve the whatever I want to achieve without necessarily knowing how .
As an ENFP, sometimes I fall in the trap of Si procedures failing to see the goal and after a while I'm like , fuck , it's so tiring and all this small steps precision is not actually the most efficient way to get there , and when I remind myself the clear destination and trust the unconscious taking care of procedure, it all works fine .
Love the analysis
