Blind Ni(7th Position)
Overview
Introverted Intuition (Ni) as your Blind function (Trickster) operates unconsciously, creating blind spots about seeing deeper meanings and future implications. It manifests as deeply unvaluing strategic thinking and deeper meaning, dismissing vision and patterns as pointless speculation or meaningless abstraction. You may appear shallow and reactive, completely dismissing long-term thinking as irrelevant or delusional. You distrust insights and predictions, perceiving them as fantasy or manipulation, and actively avoid situations that require seeing patterns or understanding implications. You may see strategic thinking as a sign of detachment or arrogance, dismissing those who look for deeper meaning as out of touch with reality. This function tests boundaries by introducing contradictory insights that trap you in paradoxes, making you believe you're practical when you're actually scattered. Integrating it helps you recognize these blind spots and develop genuine appreciation for strategic thinking and deeper understanding.
