Goodnight @Former-Member  sleep well.  🙂

It's great to see you looking after yourself and getting an early night in @Former-Member. Glad you found it interesting - I do too! Sweet dreams bug

@CheerBear  you know I think we both face the same problem with the exploration aspect of our types.  I'm listening to your podcast.. it's just finishing.. and I see how we both can "jump to conclusions" so to speak if we are not careful. 

In that you are so in touch with the feelings you absorb, you can project that and think others are feeling the same way, when they aren't. 

I can do the same with the information I have, absorbed.   I can project my knowledge base onto the other person and assume they know things they don't.

See what I mean?  We need to diligently explore as this podcast says.  To make sure we don't project.

You:   what you are feeling vs what others might be feeling.

Me:  What I know, vs what others might not know.

Because we both intuit what we perceive, we can make the mistake of assuming others are intuiting the same, when they actually aren't. You for feelings, me for information.

If you see what I mean...  you will understand that the whole dynamic to avoid projection is a potential minefield for both of us.  Sigh! 

OK  I'm about to listen to my podcast now...   I'll tell you if you should disregard everything you heard or if it is accurate 😛 

Have a good night and I shall see you tomorrow  🙂   Though I will probably post my appraisal of the podcast while you are snoozing.  Have a good night.   *waves*

I'm not 100% sure about some of that. While I agree that I think I can make the mistake of assuming that what I am feeling is what others are too, i believe that my curiosity and genuine want to understand what it is that someone might be feeling leads me to ask and enquire rather than assume, using my feelings to guide that. I do believe that I can get it wrong, and that I tend to use my own feelings as a compass to guide me but ideally (being an idealist lol) I at least try to be mindful of it so I don't make that assumption. I am human and a banana brain at the moment so that isn't working so well right now (said with an ouch). I wonder whether the same thing might happen for someone who thinks that what they know is what is happening too, at the expense of not considering that a knowledge base isn't always 'right'. So rather than you projecting what you know and assuming that others know or not know the same, it can also be that what you 'know' differs from what others 'know' as well, rather just not knowing. If that makes any sense.

One thing that's almost certain, i wouldn't want to take an ITFP on in an argument as an INFP. My feelings would hurt too much haha.

I'll look forward to reading your appraisal when it happens. Enjoy thinking about it all 😉 . I heard your type eat wikipedia for midnight snacks btw haha

@CheerBear  that's exactly the exploration side of it.   That's the diligence I am referring to.

[CheerBear]

Yep just re-read your post again sorry. I like the term "diligent exploration" a lot

[Spookytookims]

@CheerBear  nah.. wikipedia isn't a reliable enough source for my type 😛

[CheerBear]

😂 of course it isn't. Peer reviewed academic journals are probably more like it I'd imagine @Spookytookims

[Spookytookims]

@CheerBear  ok... I couldn't finish that podcast.  It was so bizarre .. the frames, the meta frames, the hanging things on frames not building new frames.... sorry... but it made no sense to me in relation to how  I think.  Either they really don't understand INTPs or they have a really strange way of explaining what they are trying to portray.

So how you managed to finish it I don't know, because if my head was getting scrambled I would have thought yours would be.  But maybe I was just trying too hard so it jumbled.  Either way, they completely lost me.
