- Jung discusses the intuitive whose dominant psychological function is intuition. Very possibly the weirdest of all psychological types, for what it's worth.
"To a judging type this naturally seems almost inconceivable, but it is nonetheless a fact which I have often come across in my dealings with intuitives. The remarkable indifference of the extraverted intuitive to external objects is shared by the introverted intuitive in relation to inner objects. Just as the extraverted intuitive is continually sending out new possibilities which he pursues with equal unconcern for his own welfare and that of others, pressing on quite heedless of human considerations, and tearing down what has just been built in his everlasting search for change -- so the introverted intuitive moves from image to image chasing after every possibility in the teeming womb of the unconscious, without establishing any connection between them and himself. Just as the world of appearances can never become a moral problem for the man who merely senses it, the world of inner images is never a moral problem for the intuitive. For both of them it is an aesthetic problem, a matter of perception, a sensation.
Because of this, the introverted intuitive has little consciousness of his own bodily existence or of its effect on others. The extravert would say: "Reality does not exist for him. He gives himself up to fruitless fantasies." The perception of the images of the unconscious produced such an inexhaustible abundance by the creative energy of life is of course fruitless from the standpoint of immediate utility. But since these images represent possible views of the world, which may give life a new potential, this function, which to the outside world is the strangest of all, is as indispensable to the total psychic economy as is the corresponding human type to the psychic life of a people. Had this type not existed, there would have been no prophets in Israel."
sad how everyone online just makes up what they want about ni and infj like there petulant denial of the psychic and predictive abilities yet jung mentioned it quite a bit in many ways
It's likely that, if they aren't Intuitives, that they simply don't have the rational faculties to make sense of the images they see. Remember, just as Jung called Introverted Intuitives "seers," he also called them "artists," "dreamers," and "great men gone wrong." There always exists a near infinite manifestation of types.
So essentially, external objects potentially stimulate the user into forming images of the collective unconscious, which the user then feels compelled to explore within the mind until the image fades. Afterwards the subject continues to experience life until a similar event occurs
Yes, but the tendency is to do that process all the time, or at least as much as possible, for every aspect of life.
@@alexmatei9759 I see.
@@alexmatei9759 It's kinda like the Extroverted Intuitive, who chases opportunities and possibilities outside of himself with basically no consideration for stable, "real" conditions. The Intuitive Introvert does this, but it's internal and image-focused, and it takes the development of a rational function for them to slow down, examine the possibility deeper, and say "oh jeez, this actually means something, I have to tell everyone."
Thank you
so touching for an excellent video
Jung was great but not a very colourful writer.
yeeah, I've been having a hard time reading him
His writing was acceptable in the context this was written. Most writers sounded like this during the time he was alive. Ever read Charles Dickens?
His style of writing is an intellectual one. Shows mastery and precision. There is no place for colorful language as that would make the already huge books even larger in size.
Acting like u could do better lolol
Sound a description of me! Always think in terms of symbolism and future and also using will of the mind and psychic abilities
