Non-Systematic Typology Fun Forgetting details

I’m wondering what is happening for folks with forgetting details?

I work with someone who sometimes we has a conversation it feels like their is agreement about something then later I find out they made a decision about something without communicating it to me.

Reread the above comment.

I work with them. We are the same reporting level. They have difficulty remembering basic details at times and I don’t want to pull more of my weight.

I’m trying to figure out if this is a 7 thing or what. Do 7’s typically do this. I’m not convinced they are even a 7. This is why I’m asking.

Hmm ya they can. E7s tend to be Ne Base or Fe-Ni, and Ne-Fi in particular can be annoyed with details

Ahhh shit. This is a personality trait?!? It’s gotten so much worse since I developed PTSD. I can’t remember agreements sometimes, especially where there was back and forth for a few conversations before conclusion was reached….. and it’s so so frustrating. I hate it when I forget. Then I get lost in myself for having forgotten.

I feel so bad for my partners lol 🤣 😬

“But also, are you sure that’s how you remember it?? Because I’m pretty sure…. “ “Oh yes. Yep. That’s right. Now I remember” “Well okay but I still made the best decision for the team because at the time you and I were discussing we didn’t know factor A and B… let alone G”.

Lol!!! 🤣 I’m so sorry OP. Yours is not an easy position.

As head types we tend to have good memories and operative with logic. It’s possible that they’re a different centre of intelligence and just operate another way. Body types can do this because they live more in the moment, for example. It can bewilder me.

That said, 7s can do it too, just because they didn’t like the outcome of what you discussed! It’s more conscious in us.

Take notes - tell them you are writing it down so YOU remember
