in Function Analysis

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.

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 […]

Let me warn you…this is going to be mostly rant. We all have those specific things in life that irritate us. Sometimes they’re just plain stupid, but they irritate us nonetheless. Well, this is one of mine. But, before I get lost in the weeds, I should clarify that I’m not trying to bash all […]

in Function Analysis, Personality Typing 101

Below is a list of general observations we’ve made based on real life examples of how the different functions show up in day-to-day interaction. Obviously, it may not be perfect, but we’ve found it useful in our typing. Feel free to suggest something we’ve missed or ask for an explanation of how personality theory backs […]
