Ni vs. Ne: Perspectives and Possibilities

in Function Analysis

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

Tertiary Functions Part 2: Se/Si/Ne/Ni

in Function Analysis

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 functionโ€™s inner workings and usefulness. Weโ€™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 [โ€ฆ]

Tertiary Functions Part 1: Te/Ti/Fe/Fi

in Function Analysis

Ah yes, the tertiary functions. There seems to be a lot of varied opinions as to its inner workings and usefulness. Weโ€™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, [โ€ฆ]

Explaining Introverted Thinking (Ti) Identity

in Function Analysis

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. Iโ€™ve gotten better at thatโ€ฆ but whenever Iโ€™m asked to [โ€ฆ]

The Roles of the Cognitive Functions

in Function Analysis

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. Iโ€™m going to cover those in brief before [โ€ฆ]

8 Differences Between Fi and Fe

in Function Analysis

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. (Weโ€™re clearly terrible at keeping up with the series, considering that itโ€™s been almost two years since the first one.) As [โ€ฆ]

Introverted Thinking (Ti): Potential Logical Flaws

in Function Analysis

Iโ€™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 [โ€ฆ]

The Fe Villain: ISFJ/INFJ/ESFJ/ENFJ

in Function Analysis

I occasionally ask myself what villains from varying types would look like. Obviously, there are going to be different styles and variations, but as a whole, how will each type act when evil? In the past, I have googled the subject to see other peopleโ€™s opinions and perspectives on the matter. At one point, I [โ€ฆ]

Just Follow Your Gut

in Function Analysis

Just follow your gut. Trust your heart. Follow your instincts. Ah yes, those vague and elusive pieces of advice that some people like to give. Perhaps some of you readers have been given this advice by someone. I know I have been several times, but what does it mean? Itโ€™s almost as if they are [โ€ฆ]

Each Cognitive Functionโ€™s Priority

in Function Analysis

Recently, Ryan and I were working on the Ti vs. Fi article that was requested, and it provoked a lot of different discussions that, to be honest, donโ€™t actually seem to be entirely related now that I think about it. Oh the joys of rabbit trails. For some reason, we started talking about what was [โ€ฆ]
