Shadow Boxing (argument with an INTJ)
Ni is a shadow process for the INTP, if you value such structures. To me it seems a tad rigid way of processing the (yours or mine) world view.
In my word , the nicknames have a meaning: In the pub there is Waffle (ISFJ), Ratman (ISXJ), Panda (ISTP var), Carrot-top (ISTJ var), all indicating the character of the person. Others known as Cat Weasel. Not all nicknames are like this. Anyrate, my way of looking at personalities is akin to the Native Americans, and some of the member's names are like nicknames as well. The first ones that come to mind are Clubbed with Spades, Bear,
Ungweliante, Snail, Snow Queen which will easily fit in the fantastic Perseus Intuitive (does not make sense) system.
ISFP - INTP lack of communication is based on experience. If one of the two do not want to communicate, no dialogue is possible. What is worse that in crisis, the Eagle and the Cat do completely opposite things. In a dispute between two groups in the pub, me (INTP) and the barmaid (ISFP) take completely different sides. This has actually happened a handful of times and it is dangerous, so dangerous that I broke off relations.
For me questioning is matter of survival, constant and persistent. As far as I have been able to work out Cats ask to come in and then ask no more questions. It is lack of enquiry is better suited because Curiosity Killed the Cat. So your quote is plain WRONG. Does not fit the Perseus system.
The Cat is a Composer. I do this as well. Rearrange the titles and give them all another name. Then the direction of travel is different. The Cat then uses the new names to affirm to Ni (Tertiary) like I am doing now, whereas, I would change the whole system and look in the opposite direction to my invented PI Introverted Perception (which may be called Introverted Sensing Si).
Si - introverted Sensing Reviewing past experiences; “what is” evoking “what was”; seeking detailed information and links to what is known; recalling stored impressions; accumulating data; recognizing the way things have always been.
which is probably right because I am linking to the perennial philosophy, or the age-out parables of the Greeks and archetypes.
cf.
Ni - introverted iNtuiting Foreseeing implications and likely effects without external data; realizing “what will be”; conceptualizing new ways of seeing things; envisioning transformations; getting an image of profound meaning or far-reaching symbols.
But it really the INTP input goes first to a free floating jumble of unintegrated ideas floating around in the subconcsciousness waiting for deja vous. The manifest of the INTP is rigid in its core but fuzzy around the edges. This is sometimes (often by INTjs) mistaken for fuzzy thinking. The INTJ rejects this extra perception (extra-sensory activity in the Perseus system).
INTP - INTJ
Complementcompatible strengths with opposite emphases
INTP - ISFP
Enigmaa puzzle: totally foreign in nearly every facet
INTJ - ISFP
Supplementlike Pal, but functions are farther removed: each can add to the other's strengths.
In other words, we are neither Cat or Dog people, but I can't (under)stand Cat people and you can't (under)stand Dog people. With the Cat problem, they will acuse use NPs of speaking a foreign language. They will with NTs even more. Cats ain't rational. I used to think the artists world and the scientist/questor world was the same but it is very different. This is a major change of opinion on my manifest. An error in judgement, caused by inadequate Perception of people.
