Ni (Introverted Intuition)It is known as the most difficult psychological function to understand among the eight psychological functions of the MBTI.By capturing the commonalities and relationships between multiple events, phenomena, and concepts, and consolidating them into a single symbolic image, we can grasp the fundamental elements and reach a profound understanding, even when faced with a seemingly complex world.Even after receiving that explanation,Ni (Introverted Intuition)He excels at this.INFJ (Empathy Type)・INTJ (Strategist type)It's understandable that this might not resonate with everyone else.
This time, we'll be looking at some of those hard-to-understand things. Ni (Introverted Intuition)I will explain this in detail.
Psychological functions that predict the future
Let's get straight to the question. Please look at the diagram below.
Q: Please freely add to your drawing from "present to future". How will you go about drawing it?
Please scroll down after you have thought about it ↓
The future envisioned by Si (Introverted Sensing)
If youSi (Introverted Sensing)If you were the owner, you might write something like this:
↓
To put it simply,Si (Introverted Sensing)It is a function that "remembers in detail what happened in the past."That is. In other words,If you have Si,What happens in the future is a repetition of what happened in the past.There is a tendency to think that way.Probably.
Let's consider this with a specific case. Japan and the United States fought a war in the past, and Japan lost. "Therefore,If Japan goes to war again, it will lose to America again, "because it actually fought and lost back then."”This is how Si thinks.
The future envisioned by Ni (Introverted Intuition)
Now, let's go back to the picture we saw earlier.Ni (Introverted Intuition)People who possess that quality often don't depict it that way.
Please see the diagram below.The circle expands significantly from the past to the future.Yes, it is (the circles are replaced with squares for clarity).
that's right,Upon closer inspection, there is a tendency—a pattern—that the circle has been gradually getting larger from the past to the present.I understand that.「People with Ni (Intuitive Intelligence) can grasp this "tendency = pattern" and apply it to predict the future.」Therefore.「People with Ni (Intuitive Intelligence) have a greater ability to foresee the future.」That makes sense.
Famous people who excel at Ni (Introverted Intuition)
However, the above explanation alone is not sufficient to immediately understandNi (Introverted Intuition)Understanding and utilizing it may be difficult. Therefore,Ni (Introverted Intuition)We will introduce some celebrities who possess this trait and provide more detailed explanations.
The celebrities we'll be introducing this time are listed below ↓
Now, let's take a closer look at the three people mentioned above.
Yuval Noah Harari explores the ultimate laws of history.
Yuval Noah Harari (INFJ) currently specializes in world history and macrohistory. To put it simply,A field of study that seeks to explore the ultimate laws of history and identify long-term, macroscopic trends.And,Ni (Introverted Intuition)It is absolutely necessaryThis is what it will be.
Let's take his published books as an example.
Why is it that only humankind has achieved civilization?
Homo sapiens, who were insignificant creatures living in Africa,
Why did they rise to the top of the food chain, establish civilizations, and eventually dominate the Earth?[The Law of Past → Future] =Ni (Introverted Intuition))A monumental work of unprecedented scale that surveys the past, present, and future of Homo sapiens.[The Law of Past → Future] =Ni (Introverted Intuition))Finally, a Japanese translation!
Quoted and adapted from the promotional material for Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind.
A shocking vision of the future from the author of "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind," which has sold over 12 million copies worldwide!
We aim for immortality, happiness, and divinity, upgrading ourselves to Homo Deus (God-man) (=future development, flow, long-term vision=)Ni (Introverted Intuition))At that time, the disparity becomes unimaginable.
A bestseller published in over 35 countries and with over 6 million copies sold!
Quoted and adapted from the propaganda for Homo Deus.
- Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind
→It showed where we came from.(=Ni (Introverted Intuition)) - Homo Deus
→It shows where we are headed.(= this tooNi (Introverted Intuition))
Thus, HarariNi (Introverted Intuition)By using this method, I was able to write the two books mentioned above. If you want to know more about the specific contents, I highly recommend buying them yourself ↓
Konosuke Matsushita, the businessman who discovered eternal and unchanging truths.
(Quoted from Jiji Gahosha's "Photo (August 15, 1961 issue)")
The "God of Management"Konosuke Matsushita"tooNi (Introverted Intuition)He uses this phrase frequently. I will quote and introduce some examples that clearly illustrate his way of thinking.
Around the time that "PHP's Word" began to be published, KonosukeThere exists an eternal and unchanging truth in this world, and we will discover that truth that shapes the order of the universe (nature).(←ExactlyNi (Introverted Intuition)By doing so, humanity can enjoy true prosperity.

Generation and Development (=Ni (Introverted Intuition)(The truth discovered by Konosuke Matsushita using this method)This means that things are renewed every day.

Shigenobu Nagamori, a business leader who predicts future trends.
（[Monologue] Shigenobu Nagamori of Nidec: "The reason I delayed my arrival time at work from 6:30 to 7:00"(Quoted from)
As mentioned in the following article, the CEO, Shigenobu Nagamori,Ni (Introverted Intuition)I use it often.
One of Mr. Nagamori's driving forces isThe ability to predict the future (exactlyNi (Introverted Intuition)) That's it. Still,In the late 1970s, when the Japanese motor industry completely ignored the spread of personal computers...Predicting (Ni (Introverted Intuition)）、Since 1995, with an eye on the shift to EVs (electric vehicles), they have entered the automotive business (Ni) and,Sensing trends that are shaping the world one after another (Ni) And so, they dedicated themselves fully to that and built their business there.
『NEWS PICKS: Three challenges await Shigenobu Nagamori of Nidec CorporationQuoted and adapted from "[Title of the work]".
AuthorNarukin(@narukinhonda:Twitter、FacebookMy impression is that Ni has been able to anticipate future trends and achieve success!
Furthermore, Shigenobu NagamoriNi (Introverted Intuition)To get closer to the point, I will quote another article. This quote is a bit long.
below,https://forbesjapan.com/articles/detail/17312/2/1/1 Quoted and adapted from
NagamoriCertainly, it was a world where large corporations like Hitachi and Toshiba were competing. But I said this to my teacher:"Currently, there are only an average of 3.5 motors per household in Japan, but when I went to America the other day, there were an average of 60 motors per household. Japan will eventually become like America (＝Ni)」and.
When I argued that Japan would develop rapidly, my mentor countered, "No, it will take 100 years for Japan to reach the same standard of living as America." But he was wrong, wasn't he? (laughs)Currently, the average household in Japan has 150. In the US, the average is 300, and the average across China is 3.5. The number in China will increase even more.Ni)That's why there's a sense of crisis that we'll run out of motors.
Q: Nidec has diversified through aggressive M&A (mergers and acquisitions), starting with precision motors for PC HDDs (hard disk drives), and expanding into large motors for home appliances, automotive motors, and reduction gears that are key components in multi-joint industrial robots.Does that mean they had a vision of the future of the industry from an early stage?
(Note from Narukin: President Nagamori is famous in the business world for being able to see the future.)
NagamoriWe have acquired 52 companies and successfully turned all of them profitable.When we make acquisitions, we're often asked, "Why are you buying this company?" But we have a big picture in mind first, and we're filling in the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle one by one through acquisitions.Ni）。When we think about the coming era of robots, EVs, ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems) for cars, and drones, the question arises: who will supply the enormous number of motors used in them?

Also,Ni (Introverted Intuition)I've extracted the parts that most strongly reflect this, so please refer to those as well.
