THE OFFICIAL NXT DEFINITIONS

Theoretic Innovation

Theoretic Innovation belongs to one of the four Type Natures in the NXT personality framework. If you are new or unfamiliar with the topic, do refer to the Introduction of Type Nature for more information.

Overview

Theoretic Innovation is the result of pairing Implicit Perceiving and Explicit Judging Cognitive Functions, operating together to make observations that are abstract and decisions based on logic by examining for knowledge consisting of connotative concepts and evaluating with opinions determined by logical reasons.

To put it briefly, those of this Type Nature focus on what is abstract and logically true to bring about Theoretic Innovation.

These individuals have an Intuition Function and Thinking Function among their Dominant and Supportive Functions. This means that either Extraverted Intuition (NE) or Introverted Intuition (NI) will be paired with either Extraverted Thinking (TE) or Introverted Thinking (TI).

To provide greater clarity and understanding of the descriptions above, below are the key definitions for the specific terms used.

Key Definitions

Definition of Abstract:
Imagined and non-tangible, existing only conceptually.

Note: Apart from ideas and theories that are evidently abstract, analogies and metaphors are also considered to be abstract, as they refer to intangible concepts that are formed through one's imagination.

Definition of Connotative:
Describing the implied meaning or representation suggested by something rather than its literal description or representation.

Note: For example, the word "cold" would suggest someone being emotionless, instead of the literal meaning of something absent of heat.

Definition of Concept:
Things that are generated in the mind, usually without tangible evidence or existence in real life.

Note: People tend to associate the term "concept" with art and design. However, concept in this context merely means an idea or theory.

Definition of Logic:
The systematic inference that proves the validity of an argument.

Note: Logic is typically associated with facts because facts are often used to set the premises for logical arguments. However, logic may also be applied according to conceptual premises, which do not have to be proven factual.

Definition of Logical:
According to strict principles and criteria of validity.

Note: Logical in this context does not mean being intelligent or clever, but merely arguing in accordance with principles and criteria.

Definition of Reason:
An explicit explanation that provides an analytical argument to validate the truth of a statement, action, or occurrence.

Note: Apart from Thinkers, Feelers may also commonly use terms such as "reasons" or "makes sense". However, what may be presented as a logical reason may or may not be logical in nature.

Thematic Details

Within the fictional world of Mochiverse, the Type Nature of an archetype is represented by the primary color of the ninja, which also denotes the ninja's village. In particular, individuals with Intuition and Thinking Functions as their top two functions belong to the Fire Village, which is represented by the color red.

Example of ninjas who seek Theoretic Innvation.

The reason for the color red is its association with the fire element. Fire is an element that symbolizes progress and advancement. As such, ninjas from this village are known to be innovative and unconventional, capturing the innate preference of Intuition and Thinking archetypes for Theoretic Innovation.
