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]

7 Differences Between Ne and Ni Users

in Function Analysis

This is our third installment in a series. It all began with 11 Differences Between Te and Ti Users, which gained some traffic, prompting us to write 11 Differences Between Si and Se Users. After this one, weโ€™ll just have the feeling functions left. Anyway, as before, this article will be dedicated to explaining the [โ€ฆ]

8 Strengths of Introverted Feeling (Fi)

in Function Analysis

After my last article, I felt this was warranted. I try not to criticize any particular type more than another, but at our roots, weโ€™re all a little biased, if weโ€™re being honest with ourselves. Introverted Feeling, or Fi, is the function that runs the most contrary to my nature, the function that I tend [โ€ฆ]

6 Signs an INFJ is Actually an Fi User

in Function Analysis

Ah, the INFJ. Statistics claim that they are rare, which automatically makes a large portion of the population want to be one. This is one of the many reasons why I hate the statistics. Their existence doesnโ€™t appear to do anything, but create factions and mistypes within the MBTI community. Unfortunately, since INFJ is probably [โ€ฆ]
