Steins Gate: Itaru Hashida (ISTP)
Ti: “It’s hacker. The way you say it makes no sense.” “Just calling it like I see it, man.” “This doesn’t make any sense!…Die! Darn it!” Itaru Hashida, or Daru, from Steins Gate, leads with introverted thinking. Daru’s Ti surfaces very specifically in his naming system, which to all others makes no sense. However, Daru’s […]

Fi: “Wait just a minute! That’s wrong! …and it’s immoral! I’m certain that you didn’t appreciate it when they were cruel to you.” “Do not treat others poorly.” “How lovely. Another perfect day. And yet, so lonely. If only I could share the sunrise with my friends. Yes, I’m sure I can someday, because whatever […]

Ni: “Even when it rains, it isn’t as if the stars stop existing, you know. Above the dark clouds, they’re still up there, shining. That’s why I’m doing this. I have to push away the bad weather that’s been covering up your brightness.” “Wow, Suzuha and Daru make a pretty good match, huh? … I […]

Ne: “Consider, can the universe be justifiably called infinite? Doubtful. It may not have a discernible end, but it had a beginning and its component parts definitely have a limited cosmological shelf-life. Splitting hairs or not, if history tells us anything, it’s that scientists often make very poor poets. We’re all just a ship of […]

Ne: “You’re normally like the most laidback girl ever” – Mina to her “Even if you’ve lost, you always keep looking ahead to what’s next, Deku. This just means that I have to work harder now.” “The stronger I am the more possibilities I’ll have. Plus, learning from a battle hero will give me a […]
By Mara on February 8, 2019Q&A: Why Does Ti Reinvent the Wheel?
Recently, I received an email asking why Ti is prone to reinventing the wheel. After spending way too long trying to formulate an understandable response, I realized that the question was worth turning into an article, especially since Ti tends to be something that’s hard to explain and understand. (Side note: stay tuned for an […]

Fi: “…You won’t accomplish anything if you don’t have conviction and desire. Without those, you’ll always be an aimless weakling, achieving nothing.” “The goals of your league are those of a child. What meaning is there to killing if you don’t have real convictions?” “You aren’t heroes. You have no right to be called that. […]
By Mara on January 29, 2019Sentimentality: Just an Si Tendency?
in Function Analysis, Stereotypes
One of the big proofs of Si, or Introverted Sensing, that people look for is sentimentality. Most of the time, it’s the first question someone is asked when the possibility of Si is on the table. Unfortunately, there’s a flaw in using this as the primary source of evidence… Namely, we’re all human, and most […]

Note: This is another requested article. To be honest, I’m a bit hesitant about this one. I’ve seen different speculation about her type and I understand a lot of it. I used to gut type her an ENTJ, but an INFP suggestion threw me for a bit of a loop and resulted in me recalculating […]
By Mara on January 22, 20192 Ways STPs and NFJs May Struggle to Communicate
This isn’t going to be a very long article. It’s just something STPs and NFJs that I know tend to struggle with (including myself), so I thought it was worth putting out there. It’s possible it can also be applied to high Ti users in general, but I haven’t specifically noticed that tendency in the […]
