Extroverted Metaphysics (Me)

Seeing Life as a Big, Ever-Changing Flow

Extraverted Metaphysics, or Me, sees the world as a big, flowing river that never stops moving. People with this view believe everything is always changing; nothing stays the same for long. There’s no such thing as a solid, standalone “thing” because everything’s connected in a giant web. A tree isn’t just a tree; it’s there because of the soil, the sun, and the rain, and those things depend on other stuff too. It’s all tied together, always shifting like a dance that never ends. For them, trying to hold onto something forever doesn’t make sense; everything’s temporary, like a trend that comes and goes. They also see opposites, like light and dark, as part of the same process, keeping the world spinning. There’s no one “truth” that’s set in stone; instead, reality is a messy, ever-changing flow. People who think this way focus on going with that flow, adapting to life’s changes rather than fighting them. They’re all about the big picture of how everything connects and moves, finding meaning in the constant change that surrounds them.

Introverted Metaphysics (Mi)

One Unchanging Truth Behind Everything

Introverted Metaphysics, or Mi, believes there’s a single, deep truth holding everything together, like a solid foundation under a house. People with this perspective think that all the differences in the world—like between people, animals, or objects—are just on the surface. Underneath, they see everything as one big, connected whole that never changes. It’s as if life is a magic show, and what looks like a bunch of separate things is really just one thing in disguise. This “one thing” doesn’t move, grow, or disappear—it’s always there, steady and eternal. They use their mind to dig deeper, looking for that unchanging core that ties everything together. For them, realizing the true nature of reality is about finding this hidden truth, like uncovering a secret that’s been true forever. They feel that once they understand this, everything makes sense, and the chaos of the world fades away. It’s all about discovering that one perfect piece that makes the whole puzzle of life fit together.
