Ni, intuition of time (imagination of crisis)

Keywords: crisis, trends, changes, metamorphoses, deformations, damage, destruction, rebirth, foresight, risk, luck, adventures, speculations, provocations

Definition:
Ni (in general): Introducing oneself and the surrounding environment into an unbalanced, crisis state that blurs the certainty of the future
Program Ni: Better vision of forks (bifurcation points) in the flow of events, playing to maintain uncertainty, unpredictability of past and future in order to avoid personal activity
Creative Ni: Better vision of long-term trends, playing ahead of the curve, in which the subject seeks to accelerate and lead changes that destroy the current equilibrium and transfer the system into a fundamentally new state.

Typical trait components of Ni:
Ni + Intuition = Loss of contact with reality, tendency toward illusions of perception and self-perception (derealization and depersonalization)
Ni + Central = Dislikes people, enjoys mocking people, tormenting both self and others, sadomasochistic tendencies
Ni + Introversion = Unwillingness to spend one’s time and energy on other people
Ni + Irrationality = Indifference to what is happening around, letting things take their course
Ni + Dynamics = Weak-willed submission to strong people, presenting oneself as a victim of circumstances

Atypical trait components of Ni:
Ni + Sensorics = Self-interest, unwillingness to do anything for free
Ni + Peripheral = Relaxation, difficulty mobilizing even when directly necessary
Ni + Extroversion = Likes to take big risks for big rewards
Ni + Rationality = Prone to much doubt and worry - whether to do something now or later
Ni + Statics = Unwillingness to deal with everyday life, indifference to pleasant sensations

Typical manifestations of combining Ni with other functions:
Sum of two functions:
Ni + Ne = Dreaminess, living in an imaginary reality (IEI+ILI+ILE+IEE)
Ni + Se = Provocation - testing others and situations for resistance; unpredictability for others - tendency to “cover one's tracks” (IEI+ILI+SLE+SEE)
Ni + Si = Passivity, contemplativeness (IEI+ILI+SEI+SLI)
Ni + Ti = Mental distancing to infinity from the current situation, ability to observe abstractly and draw conclusions
Ni + Fi = Communication in hints and ambiguities, ability to foresee the consequences of one’s actions
Ni + Te = Ability to intentionally change the future through one’s actions
Ni + Fe = Ability to instill in oneself and others an alternative image of the past or future
Ni + Qi = Sense of existential loneliness in a hostile world, freezing, playing hide-and-seek with people
Ni + Di = Attraction to death and non-being, perception of the world in dark, gray tones
Ni + Qe = Inclination to mystification and misleading others
Ni + De = Acceptance of others’ vices and mistakes without condemnation and their subsequent use

Sum of three functions:
Ni + Ti + Qi = Love of solitude, orientation toward the infinity of the future, fantasies about catastrophic future events, philosopher type
Ni + Ti + Di = Dislike of social contacts and “strokes”, preference for inanimate interlocutors (authors and heroes of the past), “gray cardinal” type
Ni + Fi + Qi = Melancholic character, looks for problems in everything, ability to read subtext and decipher hidden meanings in others’ speech and behavior, personal advisor on sensitive issues type
Ni + Fi + Di = Ability to be emotionally flexible, hide thoughts and imitate socially desirable reactions, tendency to duplicity, “behind-the-scenes” diplomat type
Ni + Fe + Qe = Tendency to manipulate people by creating around oneself the image of a victim and thereby shifting blame onto others, provocateur type
Ni + Fe + De = Ability to create attractive images of the future, “castles in the air”, to seduce and make promises in order to live at the expense of admirers, courtesan type
Ni + Te + Qe = Tendency to take on big risks and involve others in high-risk ventures, tempting with the possibility of personal profit, swindler type
Ni + Te + De = Ability to sense market trends, willingness to exploit others' economic miscalculations for personal enrichment, market speculator type

Functional Difference:
Ni - Ne = Concealment of one’s thoughts due to distrust of people, expecting to be exploited (IEI+ILI+LSI+ESI)
Ni - Se = Sluggishness, drowsiness, immersion in one's fantasies (IEI+ILI+LII+EII)
Ni - Si = Likes to keep oneself in shape by inducing fear and pain - masochism (IEI+ILI+EIE+LIE)
Ni - Ti = Inconsistency and dependency of opinions and worldview, easily “falls under” the strong, changing according to their demands, does not keep promises
Ni - Fi = Unscrupulousness, immorality, willing to steal from their own
Ni - Te = Likes to "burn through" life, squandering what was earned and created by others (IEI-LSE)
Ni - Fe = Avoidance, unwillingness to participate in social life (ILI-ESE)
Ni - Qi = Lack of self-respect, prone to self-deprecation, finds pleasure in a humiliated position (moral autoaggression as a component of masochism)
Ni - Di = Unwillingness to take care of or be responsible for anyone
Ni - Qe = Acquiescence, indifference to what is happening around, even if it personally displeases them (ILI-LSE)
Ni - De = Detachment from the world and society, love of self-reflection (IEI-ESE)

========
Conclusions:
The meaning of Ni is the destabilization of the equilibrium of one’s own organism, psyche, surrounding society, and the world by any possible means (deliberate self-injury; searching for “pain points” in other people and pressing them to provoke irrational and destructive behavior; stimulating interpersonal conflicts and global wars, personal financial problems and general economic crises; anticipating and relishing themes of natural disasters, epidemics, personal deaths, or a global apocalypse)

Introverted (base) Ni sustains a situation of uncertainty, a slow-burning crisis, being simultaneously ready for any possible change of circumstances, and therefore concealing its intentions, attachments, etc., and never clearly taking one definite side.
Extraverted (creative) Ni, through its activity, provokes and accelerates the pace of already maturing changes in society, thereby destroying the established homeostasis of the population and hastening the onset of the next crisis.

Thus, the active role of Ni is the intensification of the pressure of directional selection on the population, while its passive role is its association with qualities that provide a personal advantage under conditions of constant directional selection (and in an unpredictable direction at that).
Summarizing all of the above, the author concludes that the Ni function, from a biosocial point of view, can be defined as a complex of individual traits evolutionarily connected with STRONG DIRECTIONAL SELECTION in the population.
