Develop Your Blindspot Function!

- How to work with the blindspot of your type in an effective, healthy way. The blindspot function ("PoLR function") is both very weak and unvalued (whereas the inferior is very weak and valued). It exists in the superego of the type (therefore one sometimes feel like they "should" do it, therefore causing stress). Here is a more intrinsically motivating approach. There can be a temptation to make it the focus of one's life, but that can cause neurosis.

Great video! I am an INTJ so I guess that my Fe blind spot manifests in avodinig social plesantries haha.. To me saying hi to people and all that crap is just pointless, but now I understand why. This was very insightful.
+INTJ girl Glad it was of help!
I'm an INTJ as well. So I struggle with doing Fe as well. I have friends that have Fe as a dom or aux and they just seem to know how to interact with new people. I feel like it takes time for me to warm up unless the other person seems really open and helps with the conversation.
being an ENTJ i've found the best way to express Si is to work slowly and deliberately and to have a routine that I don't vary from. for example, going to sleep even though I want to keep working. Or having an established lunch time. Or focusing on the task at hand and doing it with care instead of doing it through force.
funny enough I find I become much more effecient and effective working this way and that they is a hint of satisfaction from knowing I don't always have to rush everything.
Interesting...my blind spot is Fi and since you found your work to be much more efficient and effective, I will try this.
How can intj develop their blind spot?
+LoftOfTheUniverse I have a video on INTJ Fe PoLR (Fe is their blindspot).
How can INFJs develop their Te blinspot?
Also, how can INFJ strengthen their Te without being corrupted by it?
When you have time for yourself like at home, set Te goals and the fastest way of doing things and then late you do more Te. Also acknowledge your emotions when you are alone. This can let Fi show up and might help with Te too
And long term Te goals for yourself
well for se it more like get frustrated that other people can handle fast changing environments. keep track of many things happening at once or other words visual span. this why people with se are more likely to bump into things. have good hand to eye coordination.having good visual spatial capabilities. si for outside world is focusing on few things. since se type so good at handling there environment make want to be adventurous and at time reckless.the last part is more about being extraverted and has nothing to do with se.
good description of Se here
love this video
as an INTP it really helped... gonna sign up for martial arts soon
btw can inferior sensing translate into such things as being unable to pass a driving test?
I'm smart but completely useless in the practical world 😥
It could be I guess driving is not my forte
I feel you but yeh intp can not develop se very much. instead focusing developing si. se+ne is toxic logic where end getting over whem. if you are feeding your ne with all stuff form your environment. si is narrow where only focus on few things in envtironment. best way for intp to develop si is play with legos and build things. plus when build things you using ne to visualized would want to be. that how ne assist you when move though environment by forming picture of it. also si make sure the informations is correct. unlike se where taking in so much that has dump it. though si you develop se little bit but si always stronger and physical limit to se for intp.
+spark300c
loll building legos
😂😂
well it only explanation why my si so strong. I got legos when I four or three. also increase you si make more like j.
+spark300c
hmmm... my parents didn't let me have legos😐
I just used to sit and daydream...
When I first saw your video I was immediately like "Yay". And great advise for Infps!
+Sarah D Thanks Sarah for letting me know your reaction!!!
+Type Tips is MBTI bullshit? My result make no sense www.sociotype.com/tests/result/est/159013
You should do a video on DCNH subtypes, as Harmonizers (H) are supposed
to work on their PoLR painfully. I am Harmonizer which can explain my
neuroses and painfully working on PoLR. "No pain no gain".
"if [Harmonizing subtype] does something not very pleasant for
someone else - that will be a ponderous Good Deed. Therefore Harmonizers
are often doing something with a painful function. When people talk
about PoLR as the “secondary creative”, this is about Harmonizing."

+Russellllissak I still have to wrap my head around the DCNH concept
Great video. Explaining how the shadow functions and especially the Blindspot function works helped me a lot. It was the last piece to the whole mbti puzzle. Now all makes sense to me. I'm definetely an INFP who has strong problems with Se.
As an ISFP your previous video was a big light bulb for me (thank you!) as many of my greatest struggles are - as you state -having trouble with ambiguity, tend to have a black and white view of things and being unable to tolerate uncertainty. I haven't found a way to make these positive. In fact they get in my way and keep me from moving forward - seemingly overwhelming my stronger functions much of the time. This function acts like a concrete wall in my brain that I can't move around thus rendering me incapable of seeing middle ground - very stressed by ambiguity and others are stressed by it as well.
I feel there is so much potential for growth here but don't understand what that would look like.
+amt how does not tolerating uncertainty manifest in your life? I'd like an example. thanks. then we can see how we can talk about growth.
Another ISFP here, found this really helpful as well as I have found myself getting stuck (and being afraid of getting stuck) in situations/relationships and not being able to manoeuvre myself effectively or in a beneficial way. I can see how having extroverted intuition as a blind spot can relate to this. My first thought on developing Ne would be taking part in strategy games like chess, escape rooms where you have to consider multiple possibilities or listening to debates... any other suggestions for Ne development would be great! Thank you :)
Another ISFP here and I seem to struggle with similar things. An example of that manifestation would be inability to move forward because of unreasonable paranoia of the future/uncertainty causing stagnation in personal growth.
Ahhhh I'm a entp my sons a isfp and I always say stop being so selfish (fi)
Great video,i have a request though:you talked mostly about Se as a blindspot and how to deal with it,develop it etc.Can you do that for the other functions as well,please?
+INFJasper Kleefstra (Jasper Kleefstra) I think I may try, it is harder to go into the shoes of the other types, but I have done Fe blindspot for IxTJ video before.
Leon, you’re a smart cookie. Thank you.
Appreciated!
Could you do more videos on ENTJs? Very informative videos, but I believe the videos would be able to help more people if the terms used are more thoroughly explained or if the thoughts you have presented are more organised. Not everyone reads deeply into this area and understand or know of all the terms you use, ie. Se, Si, Ne, Ni. Appreciate the work you do.
It can also wreak havoc on your test results once you develop your shadow functions. I should show you all my different test results some time. My ENTP mother insisted on teaching me multiple languages as a child, so I have well-developed Ti and Si for my type. My socionics result came out as a 100% match for ENTj (ENTJ), 93% match for INTp (INTJ), and 53% match for ISTj (!) (ISTP - total opposite cognitive functions). I've got a collection of some of the bizarre results I've had from various cognitive tests online. Daario Nardi's has a problem with being Ni-heavy, but his ranked me as ESTP, by far my favorite mistype.
+Sleekoduck I know yes it certainly does.
Same thing happened to me. Slightly different faces and cognitive functions… but I’m actually quite Se heavy for an INTP because I was forced to work, was beat up everyday, and made to do lots of different skills… without going into a long story, I have had to research my butt off to finally arrive at INTP. INFJ and ENTJ and INTJ were all possibilities (I suppose they technically still are…) because my aspirational Fe was tormented the first half of my life and then I believed in Jesus and decided to be SUPER aspirational Fe, making me look like an INFJ to some, and to test as that as well. I FELT like an ENTJ - so I figured INTJ must be the balance. Digging into the attitude and use of the functions in their respective places, combined with some Differential Diagnoses wherein I assumed that some strengths were symptoms, weaknesses as symptoms, and then type assumptions that might be missed because of various things……. To find that Se is my blind; WHO KNEW- well, the clue was that despite all my training and leadership, I STILL struggle to stand up for myself. I have to very actively pursue that concept to accomplish it at all. People don’t usually guess that is my problem, but ask my wife. LOL.
And Ti became easy to see as Hero when I started really performing some meta-cognition. Like trying to trick myself when I wasn’t paying attention… but realized that’s collapsing the wave function.
So, I inspected my writings.
Bingo, Mingo!
why do people hate on infps so much? Their over valuing of introverted feeling clashes with me, they're weird and i don't know what to do with them but as much as i've hang out with them they are seriously intelligent and funny and caring (exept the generated ones,they exist, they're evil but it takes a lot to make them go nuts like that)
I learned stuff. Helpful video. Thanks. (INTP)
As an intp I need it for driving a car. I've put if off for so long
This is so weird. I’m an INTP and resistant to driving a car too. An Se thing perhaps? Did you drive a car in the end?
Have you started driving yet? If yes then it's likely that you developed a style of driving - usually slow - and would be extremely stressed when you have to deal with so much external sensors.
@@tarikalakkad2005 No I haven’t. And I’m actually an Enfp
@@alistairproductions Well, a random person over the internet writing you after 3 years might mean something. A reminder from the universe XD. If I,INFP, could get it you could too.
@@katel19 Have you started driving yet, Katharine?
Assuming I somehow flipped it on, what would it feel like?
Thanks for a well thought out and informative video
+Carsono5 Thanks to you.
is it true that if you develop your weaker functions that your stronger functions will improve because of that?
Weaker functions are tricky precisely because they are weak. I think the best way to understand the weaker functions perspectives, and then work off strengths.
Yes as an infj I get sick of people getting shit done
Funny thing is that even when you describe what it does there seems to be Fi tinge to it.
The first things that would have come to my mind about Se would have been about information intake not social dominance/demonstration. But I do suck at both aspects of it, both the taking nonverbal cues and the noticing objects in front of my face.
Interesting tho. Especially with how science has actually identified those brain activity patterns... You think understanding it alone ("That person isn't necessarily trying to intimidate me, it's a normal part of communication for them") lowers the stress? Hm. I don't think I f
I'm really feeling the difference between polar Se and inferior Se with a person I know who - They're more of a cerebral, conceptual person they still have a bit of a "not noticing objects" issue, but they tried going to the gym, got themselves some muscles and found it all pretty recreational, whereas I - I used to not get how ppl can possibly enjoy it and announce that I hated it, then I stopped being a teenager, but my reaction to most types of physical exercise is still "No thank you, really not my cup of tea", just gets some instant feeling of "No" from me.
Then again, they're more sensitive to the current state of their hair than I am which I guess can be both a curse and a blessing XD
So... food for thought.
+KendrixTermina Socionics explains Se as "force", more focused on the assertive aspects of it. MBTI is more focused on obsorbing via the senses.
+Type Tips Aha. I did see you explain a bit about that in your video on artisans. In some way both things are related...
(And from the incomplete PoV I'm able to understand/see it information about who's the alpha monkey in a given room is still information... and that was kinda what I meant.)
Wow that was very intelligent. Could you tell me what my blindspot function is as an enfp?
Opposite of 3rd function. If course. Having an absent minded moment here. Lol
Introverted Thinking (Ti)
Sure you're not an ENFP? Could be wrong, but I get Fe vibes from you. Like your expression, tonality, voice inflection when you emphasize a certain point etc. I can't imagine INFP's being that outward.
Sounds like you are talking about developing your role function Se. Now talk instead about Ti and logical consistency:)
It's not exactly fair to suggest each of the types are precluded from effectively exercising their ignoring/weaker functions. A person of any type can develop a fairly strong grasp on all of their weaker functions, if they're willing to make an effort and reflect on their mental processes, particularly with people interested in psychology
5:07 What was it that you were doing to explore each of your cognitive functions?
You da bomb for working on your weaknesses. I'll try to work on Ne now... :) ISTP
Thanks :)

I’m curious how blind Ne manifests itself. I have a friend that I think is an ISTP and to me he seems like a homebody. He loves to tinker around with things around the house while I love the idea of going out and exploring with no plan. He seems to struggle following my train of thought and will ask a ton of questions while many other types will easily connect the dots. In spite of that he will always kick my ass when it comes to biking, skateboarding, driving cars, and fixing things. -INTP.
I don't know for sure whether your friend is an ISTP, but one way blind Ne manifests for me is in a lack of improvisational thinking. New ideas don't really come to me except when a specific stimulus (Se) or meaningful idea (Ni) reveals a new path to me. I also suffer from lack of enthusiasm about almost anything. Nothing seems new to me. When people talk about an abstract or even concrete topic, I think about what the ultimate Ni result of the topic or idea will be. If it doesn't seem either fundamentally new or applicable to something I specifically care about, I lose interest. It takes a lot of brain power for me to follow aimless discussions.
You said 3rd function in your intj example being the opposite of the polar blind spot. Then went on to describe the intj blind spot fe opposite of there secondary te, in have intjs functions listed as ni te fi se are you using a different order or did you make a mistake?
Your videos are great but often i find a little hard to follow. You ne passions going a little wild? ;)
Again love the content just moving from basic mbti to socionic function theory and practice is confusing enough.._ like infjs mbti are infp socionics? Lol why!? Then extra gems such as this.
+Rhys Oliver Opposite in orientation, Fi --> Fe. Te is opposite of Fe in another way. Lol Socionics made the switch confusing, not me. Heehee
love your videos, recently [b4 as well]~! you are talking about subjects others don't really touch unfortunately :(
+scarywolfie thanks so much, I do make the effort to provide what is not well represented yet. it is wonderful for you to noticee that!
ONE of your charms ;)
+scarywolfie thanks!
great video
but can you tell me how can someone develop blindspot fe ?
(intj)
+ahmed m fawzy I got a video on that called Fe PoLR!
great video, and thanks for all you've done. The spirit of your methods, rather than the specific questions, remind me of ways the Diamond Approach uses inquiry (you can google that or the Ridhwan School).
Love this❤👍
Great video thank you great explanation
Loved this!
