Society is inclusive of individuals with varied personality traits or preferences as popularly graphed in the psychometric chart but one thing maybe for certain, individuals are also intrinsically inclined to the genetic component as assembled during conception that plays a significant role in the thought processes and eventually becomes decisive or impacts the perceptions through with which the window we interact with the environment oscillate. Before indulging further IMO, the primary cognitive and pschological state of mind attributes to thinking, sensing, feeling and perceiving. Comprehending these unruly characters tells a lot about differences in exploitable and defenestrating qualities that leads to round checked wellbeing and growth. Carl Jung is notably regarded as one of the pioneer in developing psychological types (progenitor to Sigmund Freud who was more involved with psychoanalysis) with his Jungian model that sees personality types as point of reference from where the individual embarks further to transcendent his cognitive functions, which he initially sought to comprehend how conflicts arose and how it could be resolved around the time of the first world war. The next classification of personality types which has although acclaimed cogent criticism but still trending and has certain merit of shedding gleaning perspectives on various personality preferences is the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). MBTI puts people on 16 type classification with dominant and auxiliary functions which stays fixed inborn and the aim of the personal development is to become better and more balanced version of your type. These studies infers the proverbial traction of introverts and extroverts that is in itself an intricate recipe during social settings let alone forming opinion also in the polarity of left and right politics. The entire phenomenon of this personality conflict cannot be scaled in a nutshell from this equation as there are introverts that necessarily are not shy, or extroverts that are not open and outgoing contrary to the popular stereotypes. The most common notion about certain traits of individual development may be traced down to his genetic sequence, experiences and the environment he had been unconsciously familiar with -- unconsciously because consciously he may have reasoned his way into more progressive and adequate state of conscience; this being from a purely personal development frame of reference. Regarding cumulative polarity of insight both in the consequent highs and lows, within community and its glaring disconverging trajectory, perhaps we are barking on the wrong tree by seeing just the bottom and feel of it in both the end and establishing asymmetrical subjective straws. Periodically insisting in fixation and drawing blank metaphysics notion from the surface of the two polar ends might just relate to the infamous two infinities Einstein once quoted. Perhaps a linear binary track of observation can unfold paramount of perspectives for the ladder. This wouldn’t imply there has to be stringent codes for conduct or direction, but permuting the amplitude in the polarity might decipher and save us some errors and miscomprehension despite our growing share of retention of information and ethical capabilities. How the polarity of perception (introverted and extroverted -- generally speaking) in humans occurs may have something to do with the way the neurons in the brains have been wired to function and perceive the environment respectively. Introverted intuition (free thinking + moderately sensing) and extroverted [sensing] intuition (moderately thinking + heightened sensing) being the dominant entity in perceiving, chanelling and extracting information from the outer environment of the self, this in a nutshell may perhaps shed some perspective on confronting the significant features the two medium and its sub and intermediary types could aggregate in the thought process and nature of the mind in varied proportion among individuals thus giving each their unique quality, skills and persona groomed by personal development. Introverted intuitives tend to draw insights of the outer environment by applying different methods but arriving in linear mathematical and universal patterns. They thrive in abstract and theoretical ideas and principles that has formidable coherent posits in philosophy, at least from a purely rational point of view. Extroverted intuitives on the other hand thrives more profoundly in the face value reality of things. Their mind intuitively extract information of the outer environment and gives them a vivid awareness of the surrounding. They are exceptionally skilled in reading and picking on body language which from a theoretical viewpoint as averaged out from electrocardiography about the heart and brain activity, may have formal correlation because of their unconscious sensing ability to intercept the brain waves and low frequency waves readily with their sensory intuition/antenna and transferring it in the conscious for displaying cognizance [This also induces sharply their ear drums to pick up certain wavelength vibrations of electromagnetic waves spread throughout space not limited to the atmosphere held by earth’s gravitational force, in the form of humming]. This may accumulate to inherently finely tuned cognitive sets of senses heightened to function on each. As each matures chronologically, the auxiliary functions develops to certain extent respectively. Both types excel in their own way and contributes to the easy growing mechanism of production up to date. Because of the differential voltage of neuronal firings in the thought processes, the reward the two receive by being emotionally transparent and by being out there, would differ and rely mostly on the reasons they deem is relevant and conditioning, having distinct state of mind i.e. during in its natural state without any appointment of data points. People in the society have certain merit obligations to prosper and advance rather than settling but proliferating from the treshold...where negative reinforcement do not destine us to graze in the aesthetic pastures during weekends alone but the silver lining would be to have the aspirations to make our society more productive and abstinent to corruption. It would be impractical to hinge down on sets of narratives emanating from conscience and insights emerging from intense caved-in metanoia alone. Metanoia has its root stemmed from self imposed fear (not precisely from real threats), acceptance without reason and boundary, corrosive trust, bounded and compelled adoration with every gush of breeze in the wind, unreliable and untrustworthy except to convey existence of self without the apparent perception but to instill with it the indifferent composition. At best it is self restraint which seemingly plausible amounts to a penitent man but in objective arena it diminishes exponentially in significance. For instance, marginalizing human interaction to interpersonal cozy connection alone cannot clamor for and measure the precise output to find the optimal hyperloop route from Dimapur to New Delhi or striving to accomplish such prospects essentially. Aside from the pleasant aura experiences it may literally consume the emotional retrospective caliber to reminisce healthily and accordingly with people, and alleviates the conscious to incessantly ordering surface tension and not much pivoted for pondering and contemplation of objective reality, with an inundating expectations in pleasantries; of course this necessarily is not true for all types and this is a vulnerable area in both cases, but concession without tabs should also be considered for both types who may otherwise first crave for trust and then bond as opposed to bond then trust, at least in nonpersonal matters. The intuitive polarity comes to play in here yet again for dividing the interests, but just maybe comprehending the pros and cons of each type may open doors for new avenues. Herein the polarity of structured system and ecosystem of basic instincts culture reverberates into conflict. Where human condition is almost incoherent but not undefined, some features of capitalism engineered to sustain productivity and exploitation yet engraves social impression with ethical and unflinching opportunity for humanitarian gimmicks, gauging of corrupt capitalists with their unfathomable hunger and desire that leads to transitioning of some end. The writer is of no view to denegrade or patronize each of the polarities but solely intents to elucidate researched contents and hopefully impart some share of streamlining information and thoughts. Humans indeed are extraordinarily bioengineered, programmed or created and the polarity on both edges is echeloned network of hope serenading for humanity and its continuity of existence. Still humans are attracted to the rhythm that echoes paradoxical curtains of relativity...as Carl Sagan said how we are all stardust but ironically the stars that harness energy in the great space is drifting apart rapidly in greater speed. Perhaps equations reinforced by practicality will open unprecedented doorways to possibilities we have yet to imagine. Now that we are talking about closure in polarities, it is an asphyxiating thought to collectively perceive every intimate details of anomalies to tackle yet computation degraded and diminutive. Without saying too much of what I feel I should say in this matter, I think the differences in polarities if objectively analysed and then correlated can remedy some unpleasant traits eminent in our present state and collective social conditions that’ll stay true, bastion and uphold for longer period of time.
