Here is something a lot of typology people talk about but never really... do it neatly, Plz READ!
(this could be tracked over age, though I think it's best not to define the condition they're in based on the position in their life alone)

A Healthy type is just average.

Above healthy would be when they are okay with not only using there inferior function, but are good at it (like an ISTJ who does new things)

Unhealthy is when they repress the inferior function, or are overly sensitive to it, for example an INTP getting overly emotional or being really cold.

Radical is when they over compensate for repressing their inferior function by depending on it too much, using the INTP example again, Ti would be being fed by Fe input, along with a probable Ti-Si loop, the second function will be repressed, stopped an INTP from being creative, and they'll act all... unstable.

Distorted would be when because of pressure (like in a cult) the personality type is distorted to another, this will be exhausting and is mostly likely reversible..... Thoughts my fellow MBTIians?

Refining and/or criticism needed and appreciated... so is agreement :p

Also functions are defined by what they feed off
so Ti with Ne acts slightly similar to Ni with Te (hence the INTJ and INTP similarities) though Ti with Se input acts very differently

It seems like added complexity when to me, you could narrow all this down to varying levels of healthy/unhealthy. For example you could bunch up unhealthy, radical and distorted into one since theyre all states of unhealthiness with different causes and different results, making separate terms for them isnt that useful imo since theyre all unhealthy in the end.

Also I wouldnt call someone chilling in the comfort zone of their first 2 functions healthy, thats unhealthy or just wasted potential imo. Your above healthy is what I would call healthy in this case.

But nice work trying to add to the existing theories :)
