@Bera - Love your reply... in good way it reminds me of how all over the place I can be myself.

Without further ado its time for good old Ti nitpicking😁

Ni- finished

You mentioned Models and sophistication with use of Ni. I think Reviser might use Ni differently than Conductors. Conductors JePi and PiJe seem to have complex models with Ni and…Read more

I agree with you both for different reasons!

I think EQ and CFs  are definitely different things, but perhaps they must always go together when the EQ is active. For example, if you have 'drive', then you'd naturally be inclined to How-to/Process thinking. If you have a strong compass, you'd naturally be inclined to use what-is thinking…Read more
