Blind Si(7th Position)
Overview
Introverted Sensing (Si) as your Blind function (Trickster) operates unconsciously, creating blind spots about learning from past experiences and maintaining consistency. It manifests as deeply unvaluing tradition and accumulated knowledge, dismissing past experience as limiting or irrelevant, and seeing consistency as stagnation or weakness. You may appear unstable and forgetful, completely dismissing historical patterns and accumulated wisdom as outdated or constraining. You distrust traditions and routines, perceiving them as traps or signs of weakness, and actively avoid situations that require learning from experience or maintaining consistency. You may see respect for the past as a sign of rigidity or lack of innovation, dismissing those who value tradition as stuck or backward. This function tests boundaries by introducing contradictory traditions that trap you in paradoxes, making you believe you're progressive when you're actually unstable. Integrating it helps you recognize these blind spots and develop genuine appreciation for accumulated wisdom and stable patterns.
Manifestation

You deceive yourself about your ability to use accumulated knowledge or maintain routines, creating blind spots that trap you in double binds. You may sabotage your stability through unconscious manipulation, believing you're consistent when you're actually unstable, or introducing contradictory traditions that create confusion.
- When your Child function is challenged, you become trapped in paradoxical situations where every tradition feels wrong, creating false stability that manipulates you into inaction. Your trickster nature introduces unexpected twists that disrupt your respect for experience, making you believe you're honoring the past when you're actually avoiding it. You may use disruptive humor or mischief to test boundaries, but this often creates confusion rather than clarity.
- You struggle with extreme blind spots about learning from past experiences, completely unaware of how you deceive yourself about your ability to maintain consistency. This trickster function creates double binds where you feel trapped by contradictory traditions, manipulating situations unconsciously to avoid genuine respect for accumulated knowledge. Integrating this function helps you recognize these blind spots, transforming the trickster into constructive respect for experience that reveals hidden truths and exposes underlying assumptions.
