Hello all! I've been doing in depth research of what Carl Jung had to say about the functions and so far, it seems as though most sites and practitioners have distorted the original characteristics of Introverted Intuition. The reason I say this, is because on some sites, Ni is described as having 1 vision as in 1 goal in life and seeing it through to the end or it is described as connected ideas . (Which I think would go more to Ti now.) When I look at Jung's examples of Ni types, Seers , Mystics, and Artists, they are nothing like the MBTI descriptions. The same goes for "being organized." There is nothing ( in my opinion) that makes Ni organized in the outside reality other than when inferior Se makes one suffer from a type of OCD. Other than that, Ni doms are generally passing by sensory details and objects and using them in simplistic ways.
Anyways,I wrote a long article about this and I want some input. I was hesitant to do this because I noticed it triggers people's attachments to a point where they scramble to discredit Jung but the reason I've tried not to do that is because Jung is where MBTI & Socionics claimed to "build on." So, I just thought I'd read what Jung said, myself instead of going by Myers' comprehension or anyone else's. I think it's much more important to interpret things myself. So , I went searching and after I found Jung some years ago, I went from swearing I was an INFP to knowing I was an INFJ.
here's the article:
There are many articles online about Introverted Intuition, yet none of them seem to capture the core of what it is about as many other functions. I spent free time researching Carl Jung's books and seminars as a means to further gain clarity of the functions. Of course, I am aware the following writings are my interpretations, alone and that nobody is encouraged to take my word for it. However, if you are interested in MBTI, Socionics or Jung, I do encourage you to do as much research as you can about what Jung states about the functions because this is where MBTI and Socionics claim to have gotten their descriptions of the functions from. Carl Jung described himself as a Ti dominant. He went into analytical psychology and basically rationalized his patients and esoteric things. Most people think Jung was an INFJ but he made it clear Feeling was inferior during an interview. (If it is important, I'll put up the reference.) There is also another passage where Jung states he thought a woman was crazy but she was just highly intuitive. If you think of Jung as Ti dom, Ni is bound to look crazy to him as Ne and Se are concrete functions. They work with reality, even though Ne is intuition it is intuition that bounces off the objective and transforms/advances .
Introverted Intuitives are given unique visions and pick up intuitive things through their perceptive gut feeling. (This is not to be confused with Introverted Feeling, which reacts to rational/ethical issues, right/wrong.) Perceptive gut feeling is the intuition in all of us that "detects" something that is not available to conclude via the 5 senses. Naturally, we call this the "6th sense" but Jung deems this as a bridge between the collective unconscious and the conscious. So while Ni most certainly feels like a foretelling function that gives one visions and a spirit of discernment, what is actually going on, is an organization of the collective unconscious, in one's unconscious. In other terms, you might pick up *that* slot machine is the right one to play but you can't explain why. (This is not to be confused with Ne as Ne is that part of us that actually plays the machine due to the possibility of winning millions..but Ni is detecting which machine. ) Again -- This isn't to make claims that Ni is psychic but to demonstrate that Ni is perceptive gut feeling and provokes images of archetypes of sorts which is what Jung calls "visions and phantasies." However, I will get back to this later.
Allow me to give an example of what I mean about perceptive gut feeling... Let us look at Jung speaking of the Ni dominant who intuits a negative "intuition" about a man:
" An intuitive does with her feelings very much the same thing she does with her thoughts; that is, if she gets a negative intuition about a person, then the person seems all evil, and what he really is matters not at all. "
So, here you see that Ni clearly works like a 6th sense that leads the other functions. In actuality, it is the deepest psychological mind trick that happens to us and we tend to take our visions , dreams and perceptive gut feelings at face value. So , the INTJ/INFJ that gets much too stuck in their dominant Ni, will need an argument that would intrigue the auxiliary function into conflicting with its opposite, which in MBTI terms, is the tertiary or in pure Jungian terms, "The 2nd Auxiliary" or "The Inferior Function's Auxiliary." (Jung specifically said the inferior had an aux which is opposite to the conscious aux.)
To further explain, if an INFJ is picking up that a man is evil and begins to act out the dominant irrationality, their Extraverted Feeling will center around the intuitive perception and cause them to preach things about him that contradict the truth.. In order for one to make an INFJ who has gone overboard with Ni come back down to Earth, is to create conflict between her Extraverted Feeling and Introverted Thinking. You would say to her, "You are giving that man a bad reputation and he is not a threat to group harmony. He is not interrupting and he is polite." The INFJ will begin to open up because you used an Extraverted Feeling based argument. Jung demonstrated a similar scenario with an INTJ woman who projected her reality and thought out onto the world:
"
I cannot bring such a case down to a sense of reality through sensation directly, for to the intuitive, facts are mere air; so then, since thinking is her auxiliary function, I begin to reason with her in a very simple way till she becomes willing to strip from the fact the atmosphere she has projected upon it. Suppose I say to her, "Here is a green monkey." Immediately she will say, "No, it is red." Then I say, "A thousand people say this monkey is green, and if you make it red, it is only of your own imagination."
[ Introduction to Jungian Psychology, Notes of the Seminar on Analytical Psychology Given in 1925 -- C.G. Jung -- Pg 134-135 ]
In the above quote, Jung used a Te argument to bring her back to Earth. Had she been a Ti user, Jung couldn't use an argument pertaining what color the monkey is, according to everyone else to make Te/Fi go at it.
As we know from Psychological Types, Jung pertained to Introverted Intuitive types as Seers, Mystics, And Fantastical Cranks. In the following passage, Jung is referring to a Seeress, (Ni Dominant).
" From childhood she was given to day dreams which, though they bordered on visions, were not neurotic symptoms.
She was so interested in these phantasies that she liked to reproduce them in drawings and embroideries."
[ Carl Jung on the seeress of Prevorst ]
I do recommend that entire article. It can be found, here: https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2018/01/09/carl-jung-on-the-seeress-of-prevorst/
Most people claim Jung only spoke of the mentally ill, but here he makes it clear that her visions were not that of neurosis. The Ni dominant, Seeress got visions in her mind about things and she would draw them. This is how the INJ artist works. When people read the word "artist" in MBTI, they assume someone who enjoys are for the sake of it. However, the Ni artist creates art based on their dreams and visions. Perhaps you were to lay down, close your eyes and meditate. The collective unconscious stirs up an image of a woman with pink eyes, which flashes into your inner vision and you see her chopping down a tree. As an Ni artist, you would then try to describe your vision , paint it, draw or, or create another piece of art that you feel gets the essence of your visions out.
In that passage, Jung also refers to stories where the girl detected that "spirits " were near her and that she had a "spirit guide" in the form of a monk or guardian angel. According to Jung, this was the mere doing of the unconscious mind , which formed the connection between the man who had formerly saved her from trouble before. The man became a symbol [spirit guide] of "the rescuer" whenever the woman was in trouble. Jung further refers to the Ni dominant as a spiritualist of sorts by speaking of the lady who spoke of a snake in her abdomen. Those who are informed about what Kundalini is knew what the lady had gone through and Jung later solidified that indeed, the woman had a Kundalini awakening. (These teaching are popular in specific spiritual communities.)
Many people in the MBTI community shirk at titles given to INFJs such as psychics, spiritualists and fortune tellers. However, the type more than likely to take the following practices seriously, are Ni dominants:
Psychic Reading
Astrology
Psychology
Ghost/Alien Hunting
Dream Meaning
Numerology
Energy Detection

That is the ironic thing. ..And I'm not talking about scammers but those of us who have prophetic dreams and who have intuitions about the future and others.. Some say, "you took Jung too literal" but when we take a look at the examples of Ni Jung gave: John The Baptist, Seers, Prophets, Astrologers, and etc., they are In fact, bordering along those very lines. Jung referred to practices such as Tarot Card Reading and Astrology as Ni practices because they use archetypes as symbolic ways to make predictions about others , themselves and the world. In Jung's view, Astrology is projected psychology, archetypes and synchronicity. Tarot Cards connect with humanity's collective unconscious by using archetypes to as symbols to try to predict the future. So, when you read about examples Jung used to describe Ni, you get a sense of how off most MBTI websites and practitioners are when speaking about this function...and it is no wonder why there are so many claiming these types.
Contrary to popular belief, Introverted Intuition has little to do with creating a vision for how they'd like to live their lives. (This is not to say they cannot but that it does not belong to the Ni function.) Extraverted Intuition coupled with another function, is more likely to help us manifest our realistic visions. Introverted Intuitives have no control over visions they see, perceptive gut feelings they get or insights they pick up. This is where certitude comes in. The Ni vision is almost always either foretelling of coming events or getting gut feelings and odd insights that are unconsciously stimulated by the outside world.
Another portion of Ni I'd like to point out, is that Ni doms chase just as many possibilities as Ne users do. The difference, is the direction/attitude of the N function. Ne doms act on possibilities in their surroundings and Ni users expect certain things to happen depending on what they've picked up or their dreams and visions. It's sort of like the example Jung gave of the Ni dominant woman, seeing a man in her dreams and waking up and expecting every knock at the door to be him. That is true Ni potential and true Ni possibility. It is reliant on the subjective factor -- *HER* inner dream. (When I use dream here, I literally mean a dream..as in you go to sleep and have a prophetic dream.) Not a "dream" like Martin Luther King, (who I now believe could've been ENTP or ENFP), where you seek to manifest this dream. Ni doms expect the dream/vision to come to past , regardless while Ne sees an opportunity for themselves or others to transform a thing or advance .
Many people read Psychological Types and attempt to make an argument claiming, "Jung is outdated" and that PT was only "pertaining to mental illness" to discredit the descriptions of the functions that they don't fit with or relate to. However, my research includes much more than psychological types and in no way has Jung eluded to a theory about Astrologers nor Tarot readers, being neurotic . In fact, Jung found a way to rationalize Astrology and Tarot cards and found these helpful in figuring out some of his patients. (Attributing these things to archetypes of the collective unconscious of humanity.) As an astrologer and tarot reader, myself, I naturally believed in the images as they were while studying Jung helped me explain these things more intelligibly.
Another point I'd like to make--INFJ's Fe will most definitely not look like ENFJ's Fe because both have different aims. The INFJ's Fe has to coincide with their visions, dreams, and perceptive gut feelings, if there are any about a given person or situation. The ENFJ's aims are the people. The INFJ's the intuition. The INTJ's Te will not look like an ENTJ's Te because Te is aiming at Ni. The ENTJ's aim is to feed his objective systematic idea. The INTJ's , the intuition. Furthermore, Jung states Te auxiliary tends to be more reflective of where one could've been more or less efficient at.
After the research I have done thus far, I'm confident in saying that INJs are the strangest to society because they appear removed from comprehending reality correctly. Most people claim that "prophets, seers, and artists" that Jung describe don't exist in the world today but they do. The truth is, a lot of people in MBTI who claim this, don't value Ni and so they naturally don't put themselves among such characters. They say, "I don't relate to what Jung has said" and so they rearrange the original characteristics of the functions to fit society or their own character, making Ni more concrete than what the examples Jung always gave, are. But what sort of bothers me, is I thought the purpose of Typology was to learn the functions so we can help ourselves and each other. Yet, people get too attached to being specific types and hung up on that rather than being accurate. After finding Jung's original teachings, he has helped me.
As I have said... If people saw Ni for what it truly was, perhaps the types probably wouldn't be as coveted. The archetypes of Ni in the world in which we live, are (but not limited to) , your Astrologers, Tarot Card Readers, Mediums, Spiritualists, (Not to mix this with religion), Conspiracy Theorists and those who warned everyone about 2012, in society. Ni is the function the wild predictions of the apocalypse belongs to, to give you a better idea. Everyone has Ni. The intuition that tells you "something is off" is how it collectively presents itself in society. In the Ni dominant, though it gets priority and guides the INJ.
"Perspectives" - Jung talks about how the Ni dom has the capacity to create a new life energy. By this, through their convictions, insights, and dreams they can. A really good example of this from who I believe to be an INTJ is Arcturus Ra on YouTube. He lives his life through his Intuitive perception of life, (spiritualistic views, starseeds, Arcturian Council, etc) and translates his ideas into tangible ones that can be used for all. (Such as the RA Key.) (Ni/Te) Teal Swan is another archetype who is probably An INFJ. (She could be an ENFJ) and another great example is Arcturus RA's partner, Krista Raisa. There are hundreds more who demonstrate Ni dom types and auxes, the way Jung described them but you find these types in specific communities where they are accepted.
After understanding all of this, it is no wonder many people in the MBTI community do not identify with Jung's version of NJs, especially INJs. If you take off the INFJ or INTJ label and looks out into society, people who speak in such ways and practice such things, are often taunted as being either insane, out for money or weird. Even Jung himself mistook the Ni dom for a crazy person until he realized she was intensely intuitive. I am under the impression that most INJs in the community are not these types because they hardly hit on any accuracy when compared to how Jung originally described the functions. In fact, a lot of people who have their "type" are still using the tests instead of starting with Jung on the functions.
I don't really like having unpopular views on this because it tugs at people's insecurities because people have a habit of getting attached to ideal types, instead of focusing on self development or understanding others. My goal, since 2015 was to get down to the bottom of my type and others' so I could know my way around their personalities and to develop my own by detecting issues.
I hope nobody reads this and hates me. I just wanted to bring more Jung to the forefront so that we could grow more accurate in typing ourselves.
The more I research, the more I learn!
