THE OFFICIAL NXT DEFINITIONS

AI Spontaneous

AI Spontaneous belongs to one of the four Type Styles in the NXT personality framework. If you are new or unfamiliar with the topic, do refer to the Introduction of Type Style for more information.

Overview

Spontaneous Type Style is the behavioral outcome of the Analyzing and Interacting Type Drives, operating together to prioritize making objective observations by examining externally for unfamiliar knowledge, while balancing both objective and subjective decisions by evaluating with both the opinions from others and personal opinions.

To put it briefly, those who are Spontaneous have a higher tendency of exploring for new information based on the needs of both the self and others.

These individuals frequently utilize their Exploring Function, as both Analyzing and Interacting Type Drives require this function. As such, the behavior of the Explorer Personality Class becomes relatively more prominent among those of this Type Style.

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

Key Definitions

Definition of Spontaneous:
Behaving in a random and improvisational manner, preferring to seek and discover new information.

Note: People with the Spontaneous Type Style may not have an Exploring Function as their top two functions, but they will still display behaviors of an Explorer that are relatively more prominent compared to those of the similar archetype.

Definition of Analyzing:
To act in a way that prioritizes oneself through an improvisational approach.

Note: Analyzing includes, but is not limited to: researching diverse interests, pursuing new preferences, and trying unique approaches.

Definition of Interacting:
To act in a way that prioritizes others through an improvisational approach.

Note: Interacting includes, but is not limited to: initiating discussions, exchanging new information, and collaborating with others.

Definition of Exploring:
Prioritizing what is new by focusing primarily on discovering a broader range of information.

Note: Exploring includes, but is not limited to: trying different approaches, acquiring new knowledge, and seizing interesting opportunities.

Definition of Objective:
Based on the non-personal interpretation of matters.

Note: An impersonal interpretation is not equivalent to an accurate or better interpretation, but merely one that is more detached from the individual.

Definition of Subjective:
Based on the personal interpretation of matters.

Note: A personal interpretation is not equivalent to an inaccurate or worse interpretation, but merely one that is more attached to the individual.

Definition of Unfamiliar:
Outside of an individual's usual experiences or awareness.

Note: Unfamiliar relates to the desire for variety as it introduces something that is new, creating a sense of curiosity.

Derivative Traits

As mentioned above, those who are Spontaneous have a higher tendency of exploring for new information based on the needs of both the self and others. As such, various characteristics can be expanded upon this description to understand it better.

To illustrate an experiential depiction of an individual who is Spontaneous, here are some possible derivative traits that are commonly reported from individuals of this Type Style.

  1. Tends to be adaptive, preferring to go with the flow based on what happens at the moment.
  2. Often seeks for new information in order to expand their breadth of knowledge.

  4. Prefers to discover new ideas or experiences as they are uncomfortable with repeating what they have done before.
