in Function Analysis

The cognitive functions, Ti and Fe, manifest differently depending on which position they hold within the function stack. In this post, I want to go over the Ti-Fe/Fe-Ti cognitive function pairs. We will go over each of the combinations and how the different positions change their role and effect on each personality type. Delving into […]

It would be really easy to start talking about the stereotypical differences of Ni vs Si: how Ni users are the visionaries and Si users are the traditionalists as many articles do, but both of these statements would be misleading. Sure, Ni users will have a vision for their own personal future, but that’s a […]

Several of my articles have touched on the differences between Fi and Fe, but I realized recently that I haven’t talked at all about their similarities. I usually adamantly proclaim that one should avoid using the dichotomies because they group together two types of functions that are very different, and I still hold to that […]

in Function Analysis, Typing Dilemmas

Greetings fair denizens of our humble blog. Lately, I’ve noticed that there tends to be a lot of confusion surrounding Ti, or Introverted Thinking, and Ni, Introverted Intuition. This usually leads to attributes of one being given to the other and vice versa. Let’s take a closer look at both and see if we can […]

Recently, I received an email asking why Ti is prone to reinventing the wheel. After spending way too long trying to formulate an understandable response, I realized that the question was worth turning into an article, especially since Ti tends to be something that’s hard to explain and understand. (Side note: stay tuned for an […]

One of the big proofs of Si, or Introverted Sensing, that people look for is sentimentality. Most of the time, it’s the first question someone is asked when the possibility of Si is on the table. Unfortunately, there’s a flaw in using this as the primary source of evidence… Namely, we’re all human, and most […]

This isn’t going to be a very long article. It’s just something STPs and NFJs that I know tend to struggle with (including myself), so I thought it was worth putting out there. It’s possible it can also be applied to high Ti users in general, but I haven’t specifically noticed that tendency in the […]

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

Fe. The pushover. The doormat. The chameleon. Lacking Fi, which is apparently the only function capable of making anyone resolute in who they are, Fe users are willing to completely give up everything that makes them them for the sake of everyone else around them. Fe users don’t really have opinions, especially if those opinions […]

This article will be dedicated to explaining the differences between Introverted Thinking (Ti) and Extraverted Thinking (Te), specifically high use. In other words, I’m writing this article with the dominant and auxiliary users in mind, which means the IXTJs, EXTJs, IXTPs, and EXTPs. As Ti dominant myself, the differences between Te and Ti are abundantly […]
