| "INTPs who have developed their Extraverted Intuition to the extent that they regularly take in information in an objective fashion, rather than strictly to feed Introverted Thinking, will enjoy these very special gifts: - They may be exceptionally intelligent, and make ground-breaking discoveries. - With a well-developed understanding of their environment and the ability to act very quickly, they may good athletes. - They're typically able to communicate their ideas more concisely than the average INTP without sacrificing accuracy. - They understand the benefits of close relationships, and understand how to support and enhance these relationships. - They see the value of principles that are not strictly logical - They have attractive and compelling personalities, and are well-liked and accepted by most people." I fail to understand what exactly is implied by the phrase put in bold; anyone care to assist? |

| I'll throw in what it means to me, however I don't think my explanation will be exhaustive by any means. I think that normally an INTP will be looking for things to process and analyze all the time. We are looking for certain things that fit our standard of being analyzed and everything else is not important and not worth acknowledging. We would often pass up things that don't fit into our neat little analizable standard. So, look at things objectively as they come across without looking at their "usefullness to be analyzed" first. Also, you can learn to use your Extraverted Intuition to take the place of Feeling. I am not totally sure how this is done, it just kind of happens if you care about someone enough to want to "learn" what they are feeling through your intuition. I think it is basically saying that becoming more aware of the world around you and being able to see the world as others do, will open up huge doors for the INTP. We will easily see methods, problems, patterns that other people don't see. We can then develop new methods, solve problems, explain patterns to make the world a better place. It's early and I haven't had my second pot of coffee yet. I'll post some more later. ~Tim |

| Any person that can be described as to have an exceptionally developed auxiliary function can in the equal amount be described as exceptionally gifted, and possibly even more so if the reasoning that a well developed auxiliary requires a well developed dominant holds. [Edit] I realize that my answer touches the general case, and not the specific one that was marked bold in your post. I perceive the statement as such that they describe the aux. Ne to have a life on its own. |

I agree. For example, sometimes I catch myself reading over whole paragraphs in my textbooks without really learning it. At those times I look for what fits into how I already understand the subject instead of acknowledging new knowledge/ideas even if doesn't yet fit. Intuition is like a spider leaping to another branch to expand its web's reach, and Thinking is like building the web outward bit by bit in a precise and programmed - but restricted - fashion. You need the spider to do both. ~Odyssey |
