A YouTuber gave me a lightbulb moment the other day. It was just a brief side note in the video, so I canโt remember the exact video, but it was by Frank James who talks primarily about INFJs. His knowledge of function theory seems pretty on point. Iโd post a link to the specific video [โฆ]

Ryan and I were having an interesting conversation about Te the other day, so I thought Iโd try to get some of the thoughts we produced into writing. Iโm not exactly sure what Iโm going to call this, but hopefully something adequate will come to me by the time I reach the end of this [โฆ]

Si: โThe devilโs in the details.โ โYou might think Iโm being unnecessarily cautious, but thatโs the way I am. Anyone have a problem with that?โ โAll I can really do for now is live by the rules, but thatโs okay, because now I know that Iโm capable of protecting someone.โ โNo, of course not! You [โฆ]

Fi: โYou and I are both seeking the very same thing. We both want to achieve the peace that Jiraiya Sensei envisioned. You and I are the same. We are both motivated by our desire for peace and justice, but justice that I have delivered against the Leaf Village is no different from what you [โฆ]
By Mara on July 16, 2019Guide To Understanding the Function Stack
Have you ever found yourself wondering how the cognitive function stack relates to the 4 letter type code? Granted, itโs not hard to find those tables that list off the function stack for each of the 16 types. Itโs not hard to look up ISTP and see Ti-Se-Ni-Fe or ISFJ and see Si-Fe-Ti-Ne. But how [โฆ]

Se: โThe wall just fades away and then the view of the other side is totally clear! And once I reach the top of my jump, the ball hits my hands, and when the weight of it sorta leaves a sting in my palm, I love that.โ โIโm grateful for any set that comes my [โฆ]
By Mara on July 5, 2019Intuitive Bias: Hereโs What You Need to Know
in Stereotypes
Sometimes it seems like the online MBTI communities have relegated everything that is insightful and abstract to the intuitives, while relegating the sensors to essentially being dumb brutes. Granted, my terminology here may be a touch dramatic, but I legitimately feel like this is what a lot of people subconsciously think and support (perhaps without [โฆ]

Iโve gotten several questions about inferior Fe over the past few months. I was a bit hesitant to write an article directly related to my experiences, but the goal of this blog is to promote an accurate understanding of the cognitive functions, so Iโm going to bite the bullet.
