Blind Ne(7th Position)
Overview
Extraverted Intuition (Ne) as your Blind function (Trickster) operates unconsciously, creating blind spots about exploring possibilities and seeing connections. It manifests as deeply unvaluing alternatives and possibilities, dismissing exploration as wasteful or dangerous, and seeing multiple options as threats rather than opportunities. You may appear rigid and closed-minded, completely dismissing alternatives as irrelevant or harmful. You distrust brainstorming and creative exploration, perceiving them as chaotic or pointless, and actively avoid situations that require considering multiple possibilities or seeing connections. You may see exploration as a sign of indecisiveness or weakness, dismissing those who explore alternatives as scattered or unfocused. This function tests boundaries by introducing contradictory scenarios that trap you in paradoxes, making you believe you're decisive when you're actually stuck. Integrating it helps you recognize these blind spots and develop genuine appreciation for possibilities and creative exploration.
