How your Personality Type gets Distracted 

This was very interesting. And here I thought that only people with dominant Ne would be the ones constantly distracted and looking for squirrels and butterflies and things of that nature. Turns out all of the cognitive functions have a reason for a distraction. Who'da thunk it?

Fi here……so accurate! I get so distracted by all and any things that are disingenuous! Thanks LiJo!

Hard disagree on Ni. That's exactly the point of it, to have ideas without having to do them. It's the inner world not to be shared with anyone. That's the beauty of Ni.

I'm learning so much from your videos, Lijo, thank you!! I got freshly typed and would have never guessed that I'm an ENTJ Te-Ni BP/S(C) FF. So I'm speaking your language!

Getting distracted...I wonder who used this video as a distraction to procrastinate

Oh boy, my Ni relates to this. I’ve been trying to get in the groove of this Se stiff for nigh on 3 years and it’s just not happening! It’s like I have these Se octopus-humans pulling me with their tentacles in 18 different directions all the time without any rhyme or reason and Ni is not having it. Ugh. Maybe one day…

2:31, even to the entp, this is very prevelant. I get a headache when i move too quickly or too slowly in one direction. I can't afford a thought jump. I can afford thought bubbles, but i can't realize my thougts without it being step by step, methodically. That means i don't realize shit, but alas...

Hi lijo , i love your content. ❤

You are good. I'm a new sub.

So i mistyped myself a couple years ago and never thought of it twice. Turns out im an intp, an apahetic, late to arrive everywhere, giving tmi on random subjects intp. Who knew? I should've, better late than never.

Hi there thanks for the video. I am an Si user (isfj) and I feel that I need to have all my peaces together and lined up before moving forward. And NO skipping steps for the road forward lol , that one is important haha. So I also wanna blast, move quickly. Does that make sense?

seems like we don't even know that we are good at our 1st function. seems the mind constantly tricks us into thinking we are the worst at it, we need to pay more attention to it, we need to better it, and we are in a constant loop of over doing it

Always wonderful to see you!

I'm glad we're still internet friends.

I relate to Si and Ne distractions. The Ne: I want to do smth but my mind reminding me of smth else that are "important" which are excuses to not do something. The Si: I noticed the pattern in group projects where I really make sure everything is ok because it fears me to not be sure. It's interesting to see this axis and how I relate to them. Unfortunately, i don't know my cognitive functions because I am skeptical about my ideas. I do like spontaneous experiments but to a limit. I iWhen I am tired and stressed, I don't want to make sure I know things anymore and just do it. Example: Doing work which will satisfy me if I understand what I'm doing unlike blindly doing it with the use of some cheat sheet. But when I am stressed or just tired, I just do it while looking. It disturbs me to not know somethinf but know how to do it which is Ti? I want to know how something works because idk maybe I just want to... I believe I am an Fi user who coincidentally ikes to know how something works. Anyways I have drifted to loong. I wanted to write this because I wanted to, confusing right? I also want to expand this paragraph which I have to consciously remind mysel😅 Love yall❤

When I said I don’t want to ruin your RU-vid career I was probably lying

Good video. Nice Si explanation.

doggo intp

Is it even possible to distract Ne? Isn't it's while point to be perpetually distracted with all it's inferiors begging it to stop the madness? 😂

Making a concept. Research. Understanding it till the end of the rabbit hole but not acting upon it. Damn. So guilty of it. 🥲 A new thing. Nice. Guilty. 😂 Optimizing things. Guilty as hell. 😂 was asked why I dont have a work doing just that. 😅 Internal value system…the thing I feel the most or lets say the earliest. 🥲 exactly like described. The optimizing situation…I get fired up and totally lose the connection to reality and I dive into this rabbit hole 😂 specially with things I am already interested in. Sometimes its not healthy.

6:17 "Well, you're getting distracted building on top of the knowledge that you already currently have, because you haven't met the standard of how high it should be." - No. Knowledge = "Te" in your MBTI mythology. The so called "Ti" is "deductive reasoning," it disects~fisures and splits everything around that destructive focal point which breaks everything apart into its base components in order to have the maximum resolution in mastery over the potential or "Ne" in what was deduced. The "knowledge" or "Te" part of your fiction comes in as a shadowing side effect, it's NEVER the focal point unless you are inverting the natural impulse of so called "Ti." *"Ti" doesn't "stack knowledge," it shatters it.* I mean you no ill will in correcting your fiction, psychology is bunk anyway(just trash jargon with half baked opinions to support its existence).
