Clicking

[DigitalMethod]

It's odd. I suspect Ni. But I do it with everyone I meet in real life.

I somehow sense the person.

Then with about 5% of all the people I meet, I am somewhat comfortable with. That percent could easily become a friend in a month or two.

Then with about 2% of all the people I meet, I automatically click with them from the start. They could easily become my friend in one or two days. They could share complex discussions with me from day two. I would initially be shocked since no one has ever opened up to me like that. But nonetheless I would feel comfortable.

Anyone else like this, or am I just crazy? Is it a Ni thing?

[disregard]

Isn't "clicking" what humans do? (with only the odd percent, of course)

Why would this be a Ni thing?

Automatically sensing (judging) without any conscious thought.

[disregard]

Sensing what? And is it sensing or judging?

If you're talking about those times where you tend to know someone's reaction, what they'll say, or somewhat of the way they are before they ever divulge information about that to you, I get it every once in a while, some more than others.. Subconsciously, you're reading their body language, the tone behind their words, or past experiences with people that remind you of that person make your brain lean toward assumptions that in your case tend to be right. I don't know if it's a personality type thing necessarily, but I know that the friends I hang around are VERY good at that sort of thing, at least in comparison to myself.

[DigitalMethod]

Not so much their actions. More so if you'd be comfortable with them.

[kyuuei]

Yes but you're coming to that conclusion based on subconscious thoughts.. things that their body language and aura give off about them that bring you to that conclusion. Normally if I'm at a place around people I don't know, something about that person will tell me if I were going to interact with anyone here I might as well start with that guy/girl. Something about them will give off a comforting vibe, which I can only assume being the same things that people whom are already my friends give off that my subconscious relates to and makes me think this is a safe person.

Heh, I meant not so much reading their future actions, but more so reading if you could be comfortable with them in the future. I realize that it's me subconsciously reading body language combined with what they say. Eyes, also.

its not Ni

if we were talking about a real-time situation or new place that your Ni said ' this is it ' - yes
or Se would have a hunch that a shoe or weapon felt right-lol

but this is concerning people - automatically clicking is probably someone's compatibility with your Ni, but that's it

but at the same time it is-for i do the same thing
however, all functions are capable of such-perhaps not as quickly, but still capable

[substitute]

Yes, this is generally how people tend to make friends... :blink:
The larger 'sample' of humanity you sift through, the more people you'll find to click with. Introverts typically meet simply fewer people, and so clicking is more rare. It's still relatively rare for me, but over time I suspect the actual number of people I click with has become higher than a typical introvert of my age.

Interesting theory. I didn't really mean this thread to turn into a "Is it Ni?", more so a "Do you do it too? And if you do, how do you think you do it."

ah.

i do it - but i pair Ni with Se
i look at there body language-since people comminicate the most when they are not talking, and when they are hiding something

a girl who folds her arms-permissible
but if she walks while doing so - much too passive

If her hips are on a 5/4 time signature while the rest of her body is 4/4
yay-she has character-spunk

other than that - its facial expressions-what they wear
high heel shoes are usually a no no
i like a girl who goes for smart and comfortable-and wouldn't put herself in pain just to look cute
loose linen-loose jeans-i heard tight is not all that comfortable

i signify glasses with someone who is so discerning that their eyes have suffered for it

eye contact-if you don't make direct eye contact-either weary of strangers or a coward

[murkrow]

I can count the times people have surprised me on my left hand.

Ni is a sonnovabitch.

[LucrativeSid]

I think it's pretty natural and everyone does it to some extent. If you don't have Ni, you have something else that you're using in it's place.

Ni maybe. Define what you mean by "clicking" a little more...

I'm not sure if it's an Ni thing. I always thought it was just observation.

I can usually tell within 5 minutes the sort of relationship I can have with a person based on what they say and how they move. Sometimes even less if they interact with me more thoroughly than a usual stranger.

These relationships usually happen exactly as I thought they would. Not always, though, because circumstances sometimes get in the way. (for instance, there's this girl at work that I know I'd be great friends with, but she happens to work on the other side of the building and our two jobs don't come together very often, so we settle for chatting on the fly)

[mlittrell]

lol

its funny because i dont look at peoples body lauguage as much as facial expressions (im aware thats technically body language). facial expression is much easier for me to read.

props for being able to do that

I do too.

I guess I just think it's Ni because:
Introverted Intuition function allows a person to have a sense about the future. It is the ability to grasp and get a sense of a pattern or plan. Information that is usually hard to understand and dissect is easily processed through Introverted Intuition.

I think it's reading the body language and what they are saying and making subconscious connections. It's information that is hard to understand and dissect I think, the connection between body language, what they've said, and past experiences. That allows us to sense the future of the relationship. Sense what type it will most likely be.

Though of course things happen and we are not always right. Just usually right. :D

Like an underlying potential that you can easily sense in the person. Though it's up to you and that person to get there. And even the smallest changes can have a large effect.

Well I was just asking if he did that stuff subconsciously because...
well if he did it consciously it would sound very close to stalking. :ninja:

It's not Ni. Having an (accurate) intuition for people usually a dominant Ne thing (ENxP).

the rapport is easy, almost as if you have known them for a long time.

"Introverted Intuition function allows a person to have a sense about the future. It is the ability to grasp and get a sense of a pattern or plan. Information that is usually hard to understand and dissect is easily processed through Introverted Intuition."

I do. It was only once, though, and with my INFP bff.

[Aerithria]

Heh, yeah, I can generally tell exactly what I'll think of a person within about two minutes of being in the same room as them. I'm occasionally wrong, but even if I am, I tend to end up spending a fair amount of time with that person anyhow.

I'm not sure which function I'd attribute it to. Sometimes it's probably Ni, as I won't be able to come up with any real reason for why I have an opinion, but I notice that for people whose personalities I can't stand, there also seems to be some physical trait of theirs that annoys me to no end, which sort of leads me to think that it's a Ni + Se combo. I'm guessing that Ne + Si would generate the same sort of thing, though probably not quite in the same way, as would Se/Ni and Si/Ne.

I did however just pull that explanation out of the top of my head just now, which means that it probably makes little sense and is presented in a way that's not quite understandable. Ah well, I'm too tired at the moment to make any real sense.

[murkrow]

LOL

No, that's bull.

[Jack Flak]

It's all bull, don't pick and choose you poof.

[ThatGirl]

LOL

No, that's bull.

No its not

[murkrow]

Yeah it is.

Practically every Ne I come into contact with hits me with the "You are full of surprises/You're not who I thought you'd be" line.

INCLUDING YOU!

[Jack Flak]

Hmm. I guess you can't call it intuition if you have to read the manual before you have any idea what's goin' on.

[Terian]

Yeah it is.

Practically every Ne I come into contact with hits me with the "You are full of surprises/You're not who I thought you'd be" line.

INCLUDING YOU!

Consider that a compliment. It means you're interesting.

EDIT: Or you're wrong about them being Ne-dominant.

[ThatGirl]

Yeah it is.

Practically every Ne I come into contact with hits me with the "You are full of surprises/You're not who I thought you'd be" line.

INCLUDING YOU!

That is because I was going off of an assumption based on you're MBTI type. Which you are not consistant with. I still swear you're moderatly introverted.

[murkrow]

Well even with you off the list there's still plenty others.

[ThatGirl]

And the surprise factor is usually related to minute detail while Ne has a grand understanding of personal concepts

[murkrow]

Ni has the greatest view of the human trajectory.

Humans are defined by their actions (including their thoughts) so the ability to predict and prevision that Ni commands is the best source of human concepts.

[ThatGirl]

LOL

No, that's bull.

[murkrow]

At least I qualified my bull.

Yes, this is very similar to my experience. My husband is one of the very last ones... he and I talked 9 hours straight the first night, 14 hours straight the next, and we discussed marriage right away. We were married 8 months later :D

I know for a fact that he, like myself, is INTJ. :)

[foodeater]

I'm almost INTx but I've had this a couple of times. I remember that it was always with other INTP's though. It's not really a conscious thing for me. I'm normally very introverted and don't talk to new people until I know what they're like, but I can talk to these people after five minutes. I've met a couple of them recently and it's surprising how fast we can get into a complex topic/argument.

For example: When I met my friend's roommate I was able to talk to him easily, and when his friend came in asking for homework help we all had a big discussion, which was something I would have avoided (subconsciously) if the guy had been, say, an SJ.

[iluvstellacat]

I click with people fairly regularly. I'm an INTP for the most part. It happened not long ago with an ENFP that I randomly met at a bar. He was standing nearby and we just started talking. Within a few minutes, I just knew this guy was freaking cool as hell and 3 monthes later we still talk. It's all a bit of an intense interaction. We talk about some pretty deep things that I'm not really used to getting into in the normal every day life. It's not really a romantic thing. We just see each other casually and enjoy each other's company.

I've had this happen in the past with other ENFP's and INFP's, and to some degree a couple of ENTJ's and ENTP's as well. For me, it might just be an N thing, or anyone for that matter that can delve into some deeper realms of conversation without getting freaked out.

Has anyone else seen a similar thing with clicking between INTP's and ENFP's?

[DigitalMethod]

I usually get it with, INFPs, INFJs, INTJs, and sometimes INTPs.
