Ultimately, the way we think is the basis of cognitive functions. Ryan and I are constantly bringing that up, because that’s what is often forgotten. It’s not about actions, or tendencies – those are all symptoms. It’s about the way we think. I wrote an article a while back about the differences between Te and […]

Ti has managed to lay claim to a lot of things that are not exactly exclusive to Ti. It’s like the concept that beagles are dogs but not all dogs are beagles. Certain traits are typical of Ti, but not everyone with those traits has Ti. Just as there are some general traits associated with […]

We received an interesting question about one of our fictional character typings the other day which prompted a long email response from Ryan on the subject. Afterwards, we decided to reform it into the article that you’re reading now. The question was essentially, how could Sanji (from One Piece) be an Extraverted Thinking, or Te, […]

I had a realization the other day that I thought I’d share with you all, concerning Introverted Intuition (Ni) and Extraverted Intuition (Ne). It’s funny how you kind of know something, but one day the nuances of it click much more consciously into place. That’s basically what happened in regards to this topic. We’ve always […]

Hey everyone! This part two of my tertiary function descriptions. As before, there seems to be a lot of varied opinions as to the tertiary function’s inner workings and usefulness. We’ve seen everything from assertions that it can be healthy for it to replace your auxiliary function to it being only slightly more useful than […]

Ah yes, the tertiary functions. There seems to be a lot of varied opinions as to its inner workings and usefulness. We’ve seen everything from assertions that it can be healthy for it to replace your auxiliary function to it being only slightly more useful than your inferior. As with any set of extreme opinions, […]

My brain goes a little nuts when trying to explain Introverted Thinking, or Ti, sometimes. I recently did a YouTube interview with Joyce Meng which can be found here, and of course one of the things that I had to explain in depth was Ti. I’ve gotten better at that… but whenever I’m asked to […]

I want to talk today about the roles of the cognitive functions and how they relate in the stack. There are the well known ones, of course, which are the roles for which the cognitive functions are named: (Ti/Te) thinking, (Fi/Fe) feeling, (Ni/Ne) intuition, and (Si/Se) sensing. I’m going to cover those in brief before […]

This is our final installment of this series. The previous articles were 11 Differences Between Te and Ti Users, 11 Differences Between Si and Se Users, and 7 Differences Between Ne and Ni Users. (We’re clearly terrible at keeping up with the series, considering that it’s been almost two years since the first one.) As […]

I’ve been seeing a trend lately that bugs me so I feel compelled to talk about it in depth. There seems to be this belief among high Ti users, or Introverted Thinkers, (specifically the dominants) that Ti possesses perfect logic and only the perceiving functions feeding it information will cause logical flaws or errors in […]
