Here's what I'm noticing over here: I notice you use a mixture of introverted Sensing memories and extraverted Thinking rationalizing to justify a need to "be right."
This was quoted, obviously, from the lengthy discussion under your "Buzz Word" page.
When I was reprocessing that statement yesterday, it occured to me that those two functions were not paired together in the Beebe Model for INFP or INFJ. It made sense to me that these two functions could be paired since one is an introverted process and the other an extroverted, so I wondered if that might mean I've been climbing up the wrong PT tree. So for grins I studied each of the fourteen remaining type's function order against Dr. Beebe's Model and discovered that those two functions were not paired in any of the sixteen types.
Next I wondered what I should conclude from this. When people pair up functions that do not fit the model for their personality, is that an indication of unhealthy thinking, or is it normal for people to sometimes pair functions together that that do not fit the model?
I don't see why you should change your type....? Introverted Sensing and extraverted Thinking are both integral to the INFP pattern. Introverted Sensing is the tertiary and extraverted Thinking is the "inferior."
As far as Tandem Processing goes, it seems that you are using Si and Ne together, saying "This was my past and it's creating my future." The Te is paired with Fi, no doubt, in that Fi thinks this discussion is "important," and Te has the whole rationale for why things are a certain way. The whole pattern is present, and I didn't mean to imply that Si and Te were working in "tandem."
I think its interesting that Si and Te never work in tandum. I am curious what might be behind that. My intuition is suggesting that it's related to perceiving vs. judging functionality. I don't know. I've never tried to figure out the pattern. So if I look at the sixteen types to see what function the J types extravert, and the P types extravert, I see that Te and Fe are judging functions, and Ne and Se are perceiving functions. I wonder if I can also assume that Ti and Fi are also judging and Ni and Si are also perceiving, If that is true then it would be logical that Fi and Te are in tandom because they are both judging functions, and likewise Ne and Si are in tandom because they are both perceiving functions, and thus Si and Te would never be in tandom because Si is perceiving and Te is judging.
Yes, you're getting there. With the tandem processes, each of the axes is rational or irrational -- meaning that the entire axis is devoted to either judging or perceiving.
So two things are intriguing about that: first, that the two extremes of the pole are actually variations of the same thing. For instance, Si and Ne are inextricably connecting the past and the future. And so are Se and Ni. It's a fascinating perspective.
The second interesting part is that if you look at the "windmill" pattern of the Beebe archetypes model, it is composed of one rational axis and one irrational axis.
In my type pattern, my "spine" is an irrational axis. In your type pattern, your "spine" is a rational axis.
So while I may have a "J" in my type code, I am irrational at my core.
...and your point is??
I'm lost about your point?
I like to listen to voicemails too, in order to get all the nuances. (Not sure if that's Se or just an Idealist thing. For you I would imagine it's Ne wanting to "interpret" the tone or something....?)
