: Diana, I'm an INTJ, but IN is my primary function. Introverted intuition is also how I grasp things, but what is grasped by that function needs to be critiqued by thinking or feeling. Pure intuiton doesn't know what it knows, as you say, which is why it requires further reflection.
Yes, Philip, that's why I'm participating in the discussions here.
: : Sure I can be. But I work in a way that is backwards to Phil and JB. I know the answer first and, then, I have to figure how explain it.
: Same here, Diana. BTW, it makes little sense to say that one explains what one does not know.
But, I do know it. Intuitively. I just have to find a way to explain it with reasoning.
.......
: : It's so nice to talk with another person who
: : is not a thinking type! No offense to Phil and jb!
: No offense taken, but why do you keep relating to me and jb if you have so little appreciation for the role of thinking? Why not just listen to your own intuiton?
Cute, Phil. :) I am relating to you and jb with respect and love. I am here because I know the importance of the role of thinking in making it all balance. Intution without thinking can be
unbalanced. I know the two of you are true masters in the realm of thought and I need to learn from you. So, I am not downplaying the role of thinking. I just want to learn what it has to say about some of the things I know intuitively.
For me, intuition will always be my first and most important function.
I also know that you and ortho-John will give me the official Church interpretation on things. I appreciate hearing it....and I just like to talk with both of you, too.
Thanks for bearing with me.
: Peace,
Peace, too.
