Introverted Thinking (Ti)

Today I aspire and desire to epitomize, synthesize end emphasize the true nature of the cognitive function that is introverted thinking in a manner which will hopefully redefine and clarify your understanding of such a beautiful function through my subjective understanding in an untangled precise, and concise fashion because in the end of the day I  appreciate the opportunity to communicate with anyone that can relate to my passion for self growth and understanding. Here is to an article that will hopefully initiate a healthy debate of those concepts and ideas that we find most innate as it relates to the Myers Briggs Type Indicator. I would like to begin by pointing out that i have consistently come across articles, videos and information online that define Ti (introverted thinking) as a function that performs the task of “analysis” as it pertains to the purest most rudimentary nature of its task within the collective cognitive process. Even though I certainly agree and I vehemently believe there is a certain degree of truth and accuracy within said depiction I perceive this to be rather a half truth if you will. I tend to see this somewhat stereotypical definition of the Judging function in question as lacking in depth context and nuance. This is in my opinion due to a lack of empirical data which would allow us MBTI enthusiast to arrive at an absolute truth on the topic. I believe” analysis” best synthesizes the nature of the overall cognitive process and could therefore be associated or related to any of the 4 judging functions whose essence is primarily to “analyze” interpret, digest, understand, and if you are willing to go a step further ultimately manifest and communicate an understanding of said information which is rather complex and innate in a particular manner which the collective might more naturally appreciate to a certain degree. So in summary “analysis” is rather the inherent essence of the purpose of the collective cognitive process which ultimately seeks to provide us with a deep and intrinsic understanding which will ultimately enable us to communicate our subjective understanding of any given data to the external world. Now to the purpose of this article (after 3 paragraphs) :p which is how would you define or redefine the nature of the function that is introverted thinking? and i have to frankly tread carefully here because the line for confusion and chos or beauty (as long as its organized and orchestrated of course)…Now to answer the pending question I need not more then 3 words (I can understand why that could be hard to believe given the extensive length of this article)but anyways I would define the nature of introverted thinking as (drum roll please…I know I’m such a tease) “reductionist and convergent” pretty short and to the point no? :). A key factor and component that needs to be taken into account when dissecting or interpreting the nature of the role introverted thinking plays within the cognitive process is the axis in which it gravitates along with its partner in crime “Fe” (Extroverted Feeling). In short…if that’s even possible for me, extroverted feeling seeks to organize the external world through a set of COLLECTIVE values principles and ethical believes that serve as a guideline which every individual that composes the collective must abide and obey. Once the external world is organized through the criteria of the nature of extroverted feeling than introverted thinking is able to fully analyze synthesize and breakdown information in a way that seeks to reduce and thereafter abstract the underlying principles of any system to its most rudimentary essence (indiscriminately of the nature of the system or organism…meaning that said nature and functionality is adaptable to any arena or walk of life whether it be professional, technological ,personal ,professional etc) so that someone who possess introverted thinking high on their function stack could then understand and navigate the world and all the different situations they may encounter in a way that encompasses a subjective logic which is comfortable to them Think of introverted thinking and its role or task within the cognitive process as a closet filled with cabinets where one could file a concept or conclusion after they extrapolate abstract reduce and categorize/classify how a set of data that they have vehemently scrutinized from every possible angle to make a judgment for its subjective validity, as well as how this principles/ and or concepts fits within their subjective convergent framework…to then and only then come to decide in which cabinet said concept or principle should be filed so that it could be readily available for any future scenario or situation that fits their subjective criteria that ultimately serves as the determining factor in their decisions, or judgments’ as it pertains to where this principles/concepts might be effective and useful in any way shape or form.
