  1. Cognitive Functions
    Hi, all. Have been muling over the difference between axis functions to truly narrow down which functions are in my stack. I've finally reached a place where I'm certain that I am an Ne/Si user. But when it comes to Te/Fi or Fe/Ti, I am stumped. To me, Ti and Fi can be so similar that it's...
  2. Myers Briggs Forum
    Let's share some original ideas here, and leave the "authority" behind (Jung, Grant, MB, etc.). :) Being too attentive to quoting and citing others and/or eager to preach and correct others can kill an otherwise vigorous discussion. First question - Is T v. F a meaningful distinction? In other...
  3. Myers Briggs Forum
    I've been a type of person wants to nourish and heal people who have less then me. My underlying strengths would be my warmth and energy. At times I second guess myself and make further mistakes. I can be completely out of sync when I'm caring for someone. So I've done some googling and I came...
  4. INFP Forum - The Idealists
    Removed post, don’t how to delete a thread
  5. Myers Briggs Forum
    I sometimes get this ‘knowing’ feeling in my gut, and it is accurate. On three occasion, I had a gut feel for a person’s name, and, it was correct. One time, after boarding a plane, started chatting with the person sitting next to me. About half way through the conversation, I asked them...
  6. INTP Forum - The Thinkers
    For example, that INTPs are "cold" and "unfeeling" despite also having their own feelings.
  7. INFP Forum - The Idealists
    i've already posted an almost entirely similar post on the psychology forum, but i wanted to hear specifically from INFPs, so i've copy-pasted a huge chunk of it. (too lazy to rewrite.) this has a lot to do with two facets of my psyche. 1) i've been influenced by the romanticisation of...
  8. General Psychology
    this has a lot to do with two facets of my psyche. 1) i've been influenced by the romanticisation of sadness, and i'm aware of it. you know what i'm talking about - the whole online trend of glorifying sadness and emotion. i first bought into it almost ten years ago, for probably about three...
  9. INFP Forum - The Idealists
    Hello everyone :) i'm an INFP female and since I first read about the MBTI, I could develop myself a lot for the better. But there is something I never managed to deal with: I know that as an INFP, the primary function is "Introverted Feeling" and everything we do and think is basically...
  10. INFJ Forum - The Protectors
    I know there have been a few threads about loneliness in the past few months, but I wanted to see other people's view on this video. How accurate is it for you? Are you ever lonely? Do you feel lonely rarely? When did you first acknoweldge you were lonely? Have you ever said it out loud? I...
  11. Myers Briggs Forum
    Curious to see how kindness/love plays out in types who are not Fe-dominant, or do not have Fe in their primary stack at all. Also because I believe kindness/caring for others is NOT AT ALL dependent on the functions you use. Sure, being strong with Fe will make it easier to care for others...
  12. Cognitive Functions
    Based on Carl Jung's descriptions of the thinking functions in his book, "Psychological Types", it seems like they are more about evaluating decision methods rather than being logical. This is especially for Te, which seems to mainly be about ensuring that methods have effective outcomes. Jung...
  13. Cognitive Functions
    Any type can speak the truth as well as evade it to keep everyone happy, but the major differences are found in the REASONS each type will do so, and I wanted to see if my interpretations of those reasons have any accuracy. From what I understand about the differences among Te, Fe, Fi, Ti, it...
  14. Cognitive Functions
    I've read general summaries of healthy/unhealthy versions of the 16 types and have my own speculations about how those can be demonstrated by specific behaviors in real life, but I'm curious to see how other people have experienced healthy versions of any of the 16 types-- specifically, what...
  15. Cognitive Functions
    I've noticed that most people agree upon xxTP for certain TV show characters that aren't necessarily considered smart, intellectual, or curious like most dominant/auxiliary Ti users tend to be. For example, there seems to be a general consensus that Charlie Harper from Two and a Half Men is ESTP...
  16. Cognitive Functions
    I've been thinking of Ni as detailed, organized ideas and possibilities; Ti as personal understanding of why/how something works. But some people have been describing Ni as understanding the why/how as well. So if someone is primarily interested in understanding why/how something works, are they...
  17. Cognitive Functions
    I have a handful of friends and acquaintances that I actually know well enough, and all of them are xxFJs or xxFPs (at least the ones who know their MBTI, the ones who don't I can definitely see the Fe and/or Fi in them). Thus, I believe I have a good understanding of what healthy and unhealthy...
  18. Cognitive Functions
    How can you tell whether someone is using an inferior function or an unhealthy version of their dominant/auxiliary function? For example, if someone is emotionally unstable and consistently avoiding certain things in life in order to preserve their state of well-being and keep a happy emotional...
  19. Cognitive Functions
    Selfish versions of each judging type Te = it's all about making my own plans to make everything work the way I want it to work, using my factual knowledge (Si) and/or ideas (Ni) Ti = it's all about using whatever I can understand on the go to make anything work the way I want it to work...
  20. Cognitive Functions
    It seems like people with Fe in their cognitive stack are more likely to have their moods affected by external sources, such as how other people are behaving, how other people are treating them. Their moods may even be affected by certain parts of the environment that may not have to do with...
