The Cognitive Functions In Each Position: Ne and Si
The cognitive functions, Ne and Si, manifest differently depending on which position they hold within the function stack. In this post, I want to go over the Ne-Si / Si-Ne cognitive function pairs. I will go over each of the combinations, and how the different positions change their role and effect on each personality type. [โฆ]

in Advanced Theory, Typing Dilemmas
People who are looping always seem to be more difficult to type. There is something about the feedback loop that is created that kind of muddles up the distinguishing factors in cognitive processing. This is honestly part of the reason that we have a hard time deeming any kind of long term consistent looping as [โฆ]
By Ryan on September 6, 2021Am I an INFP or an ISTJ?
I know what some of you may be thinking right about now. Why would you do a typing dilemma for whether someone is an INFP or ISTJ? Those two types are nothing alike. While on the surface you would be right, there are certain scenarios that can cause the line between them to blur. They [โฆ]

Can you type children? Maybe. Probably. Most likely you can get close. Like all things, there is a catch and things you have to look out for, seeing these tiny humans are still in the beginning stages of cognitive development so their functions may not manifest in quite the same ways as the information online [โฆ]

in Stereotypes
So, letโs talk about ISTJ stereotypes. Usually when we write an article like this, we are busting exaggerated, overly positive, and self aggrandizing traits of a type. However, there are so little positive stereotypes for ISTJ that I will basically be spending this entire article wading through all of the hate that the community has [โฆ]

Introverted Sensing, or Si, seems to be a function that both gets a lot of flak for being boring, basic, and easy to understand, but also gets completely mischaracterized and misunderstood. You may have heard it said, generically speaking, that Si essentially chalks up to memory or remembering things. People claim that its detailed nature [โฆ]
By Ryan on April 26, 2021Extraversion in Typology
One thing that you find a lot in typology circles is that people seem to automatically assume that those who lead with an extraverted function (Ne, Se, Te, Fe) will automatically be a social butterfly. They expect that the term โextraversionโ, as it is traditionally is used, translates directly over to the extraverted functions. This, [โฆ]

The longer you are immersed in the world of type, the more patterns and parallels you start to see emerge, sometimes between functions and placements that you wouldnโt even expect. One of those instances will be the subject of todayโs article. I have noticed that function placement can do a lot in the way of [โฆ]

If you have been reading our blog for any amount of time, you may have heard us talk about different types of evidence when it comes to typing characters in shows and the people around us. We have mentioned how some evidence is more compelling than other pieces, but as of yet, we havenโt really [โฆ]
By Ryan on January 18, 2021Speculations on the Brain and Personality
I think an oft time neglected aspect of personality theory is how it relates to the brain and how the brain functions. After all, at the end of the day cognitive functions are literally the result of the physical organ inside your cranium processing and deciding what to do with everything. Your brain is essentially [โฆ]
