I know I've said similar to this before Rob but I highly resonated with the ENTPs attitude of abiding by multiple perspectives until a better one comes along: amalgamation then repeat, I guess that's TiNi synthesis for you. I guess as a codec dom & as an ENFJ though the difference is that internally everything has to make sense our the whole 'system' comes crashing down. Working in an area that is quite backwards in terms of innovative ideas I think this has given me a hand in certainly aiding my TiNi to become much more convergent in attitude. Well, that accompanied with a heavy SiTi+ network & I have a tendency to find holes in systems pretty easily. I remember back when I was a teenager I didn't used to questions intellectuals that much but since my early 20s (I'm now 39) I'd never dream of even taking a highly esteemed professional at their word - I've been burned too many times for that & TiNi+ has allowed me to amalgamate seemingly unrelated fields of study, especially in the soft sciences. Unfortunately in the areas I'm interested in many people don't seem interested in challenging the theoretical status quo; I understand why given peoples need for a homogenous identity but my Ti perceives that people would be much better off if they knew the truth even if I can't really give an answer as to what that is. Better off not living a lie anyway. ENTPs as perspective generators are a breath of fresh air; I wish we had more working in my domain. I think as a society we can get side tracked & dragged down by metrics & the bottom line.
