Hey, I'm curious how Ne-dom, Ne-aux, Ne-tert, Ne-inferior, and non-Ne users differ in their brainstorming experiences, or at least how they describe them.
I usually think of strong Ne users as brainstorm powerhouses, but how does everyone else experience having to generate a variety of ideas?
Some questions:
What's your personality type and how would you describe your brainstorming process?
How frequently do you brainstorm? Is it necessary for you? Do you like to brainstorm?
For context, what do you generally brainstorm for?
For me, I'm either Ne-aux/inferior or Ni-dom. I like brainstorming, but I don't feel comfortable just throwing thoughts out or exchanging them with others. I tend to just work them out internally first, maybe because they're too hazy to be captured by words or images as yet. Sometimes, it's because I feel I haven't arrived at something satisfactory yet and I'd rather fill that time between now and conclusion with input from others or any outside source. A kind of internal tornado will be running in the background, wrapping everything in its way because it's always trying to find something that encompasses all the ideas. Once that's set in motion, it really doesn't know when to stop (maybe out of perfectionism?). I tend to feel overwhelmed and lost in it all as a result... All in all, a slow process! I get so nervous when I see others just putting down ideas immediately (in academic writing, research, visual arts) because I need time to think or sit on it. And then I don't usually want to choose, because it's normally a premature decision to me. Anyone relate?
p.s. I didn't know this until now, but here's an informal definition of 'brainstorm'
informal
a moment in which one is suddenly unable to think clearly or act sensibly.
