I've noticed that in interactions with other Alpha NTs (and possibly Delta NFs too) there seems to be a tendency to "talk in circles." What I mean is that often somebody will raise a question about something unknown / speculative / uncertain / in the future without having enough information to determine the answer. Often figuring out the answer requires more than just discussion, it requires actually doing something (:Se:), going out and talking to someone else, waiting until later or until more information comes in, etc. Then there can often issue a lot of unproductive conversation around said unknown thing, whether it is one way or another, true or false, etc. -- even when it could easily be resolved some other way. I find I have to consciously restrict this tendency when interacting with other :Ne: ego types because we will sort of reinforce each other's tendency to do this. Has anyone else experienced this?
