Ni vs. Ne: Perspectives and Possibilities
I had a realization the other day that I thought Iโd share with you all, concerning Introverted Intuition (Ni) and Extraverted Intuition (Ne). Itโs funny how you kind of know something, but one day the nuances of it click much more consciously into place. Thatโs basically what happened in regards to this topic. Weโve always [โฆ]

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 functionโs inner workings and usefulness. Weโve seen everything from assertions that it can be healthy for it to replace your auxiliary function to it being only slightly more useful than [โฆ]
By Ryan on October 19, 2020Tertiary Functions Part 1: Te/Ti/Fe/Fi
Ah yes, the tertiary functions. There seems to be a lot of varied opinions as to its inner workings and usefulness. Weโve 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, [โฆ]
By Ryan on October 12, 2020Explaining Introverted Thinking (Ti) Identity
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. Iโve gotten better at thatโฆ but whenever Iโm asked to [โฆ]
By Mara on September 28, 2020The Roles of the Cognitive Functions
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. Iโm going to cover those in brief before [โฆ]
By Ryan on August 24, 20208 Differences Between Fi and Fe
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. (Weโre clearly terrible at keeping up with the series, considering that itโs been almost two years since the first one.) As [โฆ]
By Ryan and Mara on August 10, 2020Introverted Thinking (Ti): Potential Logical Flaws
Iโve 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 [โฆ]
By Mara on July 27, 2020The Fe Villain: ISFJ/INFJ/ESFJ/ENFJ
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 peopleโs opinions and perspectives on the matter. At one point, I [โฆ]

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? Itโs almost as if they are [โฆ]
By Ryan on April 17, 2020Each Cognitive Functionโs Priority
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, donโt 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 [โฆ]
