functions

Does the rise and dip of hormones in your body affect the way we use our functions? For example, in women, there is a periodic (monthly) release of certain hormones like estrogen or progesterone, that affect the way they work or feel. I, personally, am sensitive to feelings when the ovulation is...

The British Association for Psychological Type has asked Dr. Vicky Jo Varner to run a 6-part webinar series providing in-depth training into the eight cognitive processes. Find out more about this program here: Can You Spot It? - The British Association for Psychological Type

Here's how I got it: I dislike routine/like variety and I'm quite flexible/adaptable. (even my family says that) I may be a bit too forgetful. I may be way too haphazard too. SJ types: GONE FOREVER I may have an unrealistic and imaginative attitude. SP types: GONE FOREVER I don't fit into...

I don't doubt my type, given that the one I identify the most with is INTP, and all the tests that I have taken so far seem to agree, including those that test for funtions. Whatever the system, I get the same results. I am deeply unfamiliar with functions and know close to nothing about...

I'm having trouble understanding and I think some examples for each function would help

This was probably asked a lot of times but, the internet is full of cognitive function descriptions, some are more accurate than others. According to you, what's the difference between real cognitive functionz and stereotypes or oversimplifications for each cognitive function? How would you...

Hey! :) Newbie here! I was doing some reading about MBTI and Jungian functions (along with Enneagram and other ways to type personalities). And it suddenly hit me, what about Split? As in the movie, the sequel of Unbreakable. (Really great movie) The confusing thing for me was, there were 24...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

It seems easy to jump to the conclusion that people who have dom/aux Fi would be more driven to do something because it makes them happy while those who have dom/aux Te would be more driven to doing something because it fulfills reasonable goals. However, this seems like a weak interpretation of...

For those with Te as their dominant or auxiliary, what does it look like when they incorporate the other judging functions? My assumption is that they primarily focus on making things work (because of their strong Te), and then secondarily use Fi to ensure that they personally like what works...

1. Is there anything that may affect the way you answer the questions? For example, a stressful time, mental illness, medications, special life circumstances? Other useful information includes sex, age, and current state of mind. Male in early 20s, currently studying in college technology...

So I know at least gut types in enneagram are equated with anger, and I was having a discussion with some about MBTI types and anger. and I began to question, but couldn't find a thread so I said hey I should make one. 1. Do you think the way someone expresses anger or what makes them angry...
