The classification of individuals means nothing

[Architect]

Starting at 00:30

My whole scheme of typology is merely a sort of orientation ... namely, there is such a factor, as introversion, there is such a factor as extroversion, the classification of individuals means nothing, nothing at all. This is merely the <instrumentation> for the psychologies, to explain for instance to a husband from a wife ...

Jung on typology

Interesting comment. I don't put much weight on this though, he may have been deflecting criticism that he was trying to reduce people to four letters. Also he's not entitled to judge the importance of his work to later generations. For me personally typology has been an extremely useful and interesting subject.

She's probably a very imbalanced INFJ. As for the black snake in the tummy, it is similar to the kundalini in Hindu philosophy. Ni seems to be in the archetype business when it comes to explaining stuff to others. For her, it probably means some unspent mental and/or emotional energy that she can't release normally.

My Ne also works in leaps and bounds but Ti checks and sorts Ne's findings. Now, what if this checker (Ni) moves in leaps and bounds instead and have an even more ambiguous (in my perspective) Auxilliary function (Fe) to complement it with... I wonder how its like.

Any INFJ or INTJ willing to share their findings on Ni?

Yeah that was strange, but that's a day in the life of a shrink. Anyhow it certainly could be an INFJ, as I've seen them psychically materialize unconscious troubles in that way. Another INFJ example is seeing spider images as representing hovering mother figures.

Well that INFJ might be expressing something similar to the Spider Woman/Grandmother of the Native Americans. She's similar to the motherly Earth goddesses of other cultures.

Hmm... stringing INFJ thoughts seems with mythological characters is kind of fun.
