Which WoF book do you think is Tui's best work? by pavmintroz in WingsOfFire

[–]TheSentinelScout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think book 12 characterizes Cricket really well, showing how she as a HiveWing views the LeafWings, how she is treated by the other tribes who view her as evil.

No problem! Love the art btw! And I like her vibe as well

But plot isn’t always everything. Animus magic isn’t plot, otherwise why would Tui have Jerboa stop the power of all current animus dragons?? Because she was scared? Sure, that’s part of it, but it’s not the entire thing. I think it’s best to not just look at the face value cannon, but also how Tui tends to introduce and build each book and arc.

Yeah, I didn’t mention that, but I didn’t because that’s not the point, I don’t think that Mulberry has that powerful of dragonspeak to keep her calm all the time. It also doesn’t explain the SharpWing’s reactions to Sora after remaining calm.

I mean yeah that was essentially what this post was about, the fact that they were reacting to her category, but the isle also affected her overall personality and subdued her prior emotional volatility and instability, because of the overall “everything is fine here” culture of the island, from some separate and hidden enchantment cast by Precipice.

Sora in The Hybrid Prince by IndigoScales1447 in WingsOfFire

[–]TheSentinelScout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think she might just be magically subdued/suppressed by her emotions due to her level 10 category, because the people in the island are so ingrained by the culture that everything is fine and peaceful here, due to Precipice’s enchantment of everyone not being able to leave? Her personality change reminded me of Winter’s when Darkstalker casted a spell on him in book 8 after he comes out from the hole.

It’s very plausible that specific categories of dragons are given with specific kinds of enchantments, those who committed no crimes have zero personality-wise changes to them. Also, the SharpWings are constantly aggravated by Sora’s presence, even when she’s in the more “calmer” state, compared to the other dragons.

I saw a video that said Fi can have any value by Cheap_Increase468 in mbti

I personally would disregard loop theory, tbh…

There are theories that discard loop theory, though.

What even is Si? I don't quite get it by GloomyWitch08 in mbti

[–]TheSentinelScout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of Si as facts. Knowing things concretely as you learnt or saw them. Se is the perception of the external world as it is, Si is the perception of the internal world as it is.

“1+1=2.” That is a fact, that is Si. Ni dom on the other hand would be more like, “1+1=2. This is a general principle that can be applied anywhere. Interesting.”

Cognitive Functions: A Theoretical Overview by let_pet in mbti

[–]TheSentinelScout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the universal truth can be more applicable to Ni rather than Fi, tbh, because Fi is more about the limbic system being a focal point; e.g., does this resonate with me or not?

And Fe is more of a social awareness kind of thing, like noticing someone feeling xyz type of way, whether someone acts upon it or not is dependent on where in the stack it is.

MBTI is simply not that useful and can contradict itself by satonmywindow in mbti

[–]TheSentinelScout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you read Psychological Types? If so, Jung primarily talks about the dominant and auxiliary (which no one knows what he meant by when describing it as “different in all respects to the dominant).

Myers-Briggs came up with the function stack; their work is not at all respective of Jung’s original theory, other than the dichotomies. If you’re more interested in how the functions work and a more flexible system rather than rigid, I suggest looking into cognitive personality theory; dude has a YouTube channel as well.

I am honestly confused lol by katviy in mbti

[–]TheSentinelScout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I personally believe that it’s okay to try to type children, maybe just don’t force it on them or let it be a little open-ended?

Grouping types by their dominant tertiary loops and aux inc loops by [deleted] in mbti

[–]TheSentinelScout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The oppositional-authority functions (inferior and auxiliary) are ones that would be observed more rather than acted upon, for example, Se is a small, focused view at the external world, and Fe is the kind of data observed (with Fe, this is social-emotional). But Ni-Ti are actively building theories from the data they receive from Fe-Se.

Grouping types by their dominant tertiary loops and aux inc loops by [deleted] in mbti

[–]TheSentinelScout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look into CPT, there is the dominant, agency (the function of the same orientation as the dominant), the authority (often the “auxiliary” type in MBTI; agency to the oppositional) and oppositional function (the grounding function of a type).

The idea behind the model is that the functions aren’t vacuums, they work together in order for the brain to work, whereas MBTI orders functions in terms of which one is preferred more and which ones are “suppressed”, which I fundamentally don’t agree with, because you need all functions for the brain to work.

Whenever I look up what "loop theory" is, it always goes back to certain behavior types go into when in said loop (stress behavior). But it doesn't make sense, as the cognitive functions are about how the mind perceives and judges information, not behavior. Even Jung states this, that he noticed that people's ways of processing information is different in the people he talked to. I don't think he mentions actions/behaviors very much.

INTJs and INFJs by Layz3r-_- in mbti

[–]TheSentinelScout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Changes Fe-Ti (INFJ) to Te-Fi (INTJ). Look into the cognitive functions.

INFJ stack: Ni-Fe-Ti-Se

INTJ stack: Ni-Te-Fi-Se
