Where TiNe-Alemin Are Found, Where They Might Excel...?

I can relate with not wanting to be pigeon-holed into one narrow interest. There are so many fascinating topics after all, and you never know what knowledge from one topic might correlate to that of another to create a completely new avenue of discovery and manifestation. I don't know how you are best inspired (maybe that would be a good thread topic!), but I've noticed that for me, Ne generates a lot of the energy of motivation. Some of the most successfully creative times of my life have been when I'm engaged in learning about several different topics at the same time, but also have expectations (Fe) for intelligent precision (Ti). Overall, junior college was a wonderful experience for me because of this combination.

Because of inherent energy limitations, and the fact that one of the aims of Ti is to achieve mastery, I think that it's important for Alemin to develop specialization in their career as well as their hobbies in order to find fulfillment in them. Equally as important, though, is that the particular area of specialization has been developed and honed by the individual to be compatible with their interests and aesthetics. From what I've seen, the Alemin really shines when technical knowledge, opportunity for real-time deduction (such as research), and independent creativity are all part of their work.

There are actually quite a few Ti-leads - both TiNe and TiSe - in the field of technical scientific visualization. That has been my specialty, due to the fact that it combines two keen interests; visual art and science. I worked for 2.5 years at a company doing medical animation, where one of my colleagues was TiSe. I've seen quite a few TiSe from Asia in this field as well. Another TiNe who specializes in medical/natural visualization is Mark Kessell. I love his work, it's a kind of haunting symbolic abstraction of reality (www.studiocyberia.com). In all of these cases, I've heard the same underlying reasons for pursuing this field; the desire to combine art and science, to develop a unique creative technique, and to express truths with precision but also in a way that is engaging.

Another line of work I've seen TiNe in is acting and music. We've talked about Alanis Morissette on the CT forum, but there's also Ashley and Elizabeth Olson. There are two other male actors that I can recall as well, but I can't remember their names right now

Surprisingly, I've only seen a handful of TiNe in philosophy and psychology, but when they appear they're often masters of their particular niche. Noam Chomsky and Amy Cuddy are two examples which come to mind. While I do think that a research-based career in psychology could be a great fit for a TiNe, actual therapy practice may not. I'm not sure if all of us experience things this way, but for me social interaction is rather draining. Despite any aspirations I may have, the reality is listening to other people's problems all day probably wouldn't work for me.

As far as what I've seen TiNe gravitate toward, but not necessarily find success in, science and engineering are the main fields that come to mind. While science may seem a good fit for the analytical, theoretical mind of the Alemin, from what I've found, Ti isn't the best suited for deducing the questions of physical science. It seems Ti exists in its own bubble, detached from the external world, and it mainly functions to achieve internal consistency. This nature, especially when paired with Ne's non-literal perception, makes for very pure ideas that may or may not actually apply to reality. I think, because of its relationship with Fe, Ti is more suited to deducing the realities of humanity, but when it comes to external logistics it lacks an extroverted counterpart which can aide in forming correct judgements. This is not to say that one couldn't compensate for their natural shortcomings, but I think that physical sciences are probably not what Alemin are most naturally adept in.

I'm glad you found what I had to say helpful, and that it resonated with your own thoughts

UX and UI design sound like a wonderful option. It sounds like you've had some enjoyable experience with UI, so that's a good litmus test for how you might like it as a career. Erifrail and I work in web design quite a lot, actually, and it is quite enjoyable. What we hope to do eventually is a combination of digital design and cognitive type lifecoaching. Might as well try to have it all, right?

I agree, CT is freekin' exciting!! For all the reasons you've mentioned! I'd like to get so much more into the development of the theory, as well as plans for practical application. The way people have described being enlightened to a greater capacity for acceptance of others via understanding cognitive type is just amazing. This is an optimistic idea, but it would be so awesome if CT was someday taught in schools, and people came to understand their type at a young age, as well as what the types of others mean. I think this could lead to such a revolutionary (and needed) change in the way we relate to each other, perhaps even updating outdated cultural elements over time. It could at least improve approaches to education and psychology, I think.. but of course this is the way my Fe envisions application (hope for mental and social harmony, as you mentioned.) If it did get incorporated into the present system, it's probable that CT would be treated like MBTI in schools; taken with a grain of salt and not considered when devising educational plans for students.

It's cool you've had an interest in music. What sort of experience have you had with it? That's something I've been interested in for a while, but haven't had the chance yet to delve into yet. I wonder what your experience in telecommunications has been as well? Are you a tech that helps set up phone and network systems, or do you do calling?

its sounds like you had a lot of great connections in highschool!
it's wonderful to have a passion like that. i hope you succeed in making your new album!

from what i've seen, specialist makes more sense for TiNe: diving wholly into a topic of interest and achieving mastery by it. ~things that have a complex enough set of variables (like music composition, programming, theories) but remain somewhat limited, are attractive to us.

if Ti can't feel out the parameters of the landscape, and the domain is one endless continuum, then i don't think it can systematize very well.
and then it totally comes full circle when doing this can help Fe deliver something meaningful to the world..! ^^
