in Function Analysis

I’ve struggled for a long time to try to distinguish the morality of Introverted Feeling, or Fi, from the morality of Introverted Thinking, or Ti. Introverted Thinkers, or Ti users, have a reputation of being morally gray: the rogues and the bounty hunters. Amoral. However, this stereotype is largely driven by fiction. I know plenty […]

Misinformation about Extraverted Sensing (Se) annoys me. Of course, it’s my auxiliary function so that shouldn’t be surprising. Several years ago, I began doubting my personality type, which prompted me to spend an obsessive amount of time trying to learn the core difference between Se and Ne. After all that, after essentially deep diving into […]

The cognitive functions, Ni and Se, manifest differently depending on which position they hold within the function stack. In this post, I want to go over the Se-Ni / Ni-Se 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. […]

You may have heard it said that Si is about details and Ni is about patterns. While both those statements are true on a superficial level, it removes a level a nuance from the comparison between them. While some may view the statement I am about to make as unhelpful and muddying the waters, I […]

When dealing with people who are struggling to type themselves, we often see people report living inside their own minds, or inside their own fantasy world. They’ll frame it in various ways, or express it in varying extremes, but that’s the general idea. More often than not, people are assuming (whether consciously or subconsciously) that […]

There are so many buzzwords associated with Ti, to the extent that sometimes it feel like the function departs from reality into some distant idealistic realm. Since I am a dominant Ti user (ISTP, specifically), I feel somewhat responsible for dragging it back down to earth, hence the reasons why I keep publishing Ti-specific articles. […]

in Function Analysis, Stereotypes

I’ve noticed that I have a tendency to subconsciously theme when it comes to article writing. Once my mind gets rolling on a subject, it’s hard to walk away until I’ve explored it deeply. Lately, my focus has been one of exploring Introverted Feeling, or Fi. Of course, it’s not that I have Fi in […]

Initially, when typing characters or people, I tend to rely on what I can best describe as a radar or gut typing. I grab my initial impression of them and see if it fits. I think it’s the result of having Se/Ni in the middle. I don’t lean too heavily on observation or impression. I […]

Se, or Extraverted Sensing, gets associated with so many things. Good reflexes. Physical Skills. Athletics. Observation. Truthfully, much of this is anecdotal, and unfair to other types. Are we really going to say that other types can’t have skills? That’s stupid. We can all receive training, and improve our reflexes. As we (PracticalTyping) say over […]
