Also can you make a post about what each cognitive function is (but dumbed down bc I've read a lot of explanations and I still don't understand) with some examples?
note: in the bullet list i’ll be talking about the HIGH users of the mentioned function.
and i’ll talk bout heathy and unhealthy traits in the same bullet list randomly without order so don’t be offended if there’s a trait bout your dominant function that ain’t as nice, it’ll probably be just an unhealthy trait of the function.
each extroverted function proceeds information faster than its introverted contra-part.
for example: Fe proceeds feelings faster than Fi. Fe might feel more emotions but Fi will feel more deeply.
Fe is an extroverted judging function.
dom-Fe —> ExFJ (high user)
aux-Fe —> IxFJ (high user)
tert-Fe —> ExTP (low user)
inf-Fe —> IxTP (low user)
Fe is concerned with other people’s feelings (contrary to Fi)
Fe can be dependent on other people cuz it does a lot for others and expects em to do the same.
Fe high users are usually rly socially aware
they are emphatic and can put themselves well in other peoples shoes (that can be used for good AND bad intentions; remember just bc someone might be emphatic does not mean they’re good people)
they tend to get jealous rly easily (bc Fe compares itself to others a lot
they tend towards passive aggressive behaviour instead of expressing their anger in an open manner
Fe-high users are aware of other people’s emotions but not their own
they often want you to feel a certain way (like if you’re upset they’ll try their best to make you happy again; or they can guilt trip you)
slight inference that you better agree
Fe is warm, caring and rly helpful if heathy. dependant, manipulative and passive aggressive if unhealthy
Te is an extroverted judging function.
dom-Te —> ExTJ (high user)
aux-Te —> IxTJ (high user)
tert-Te —> ExFP (low user)
inf-Te —> IxFP (low user)
Te is concerned with structure and getting things done
values external evidence over pure logic
independent and often work alcoholics
socially aware but not of other peoples feelings
suppresses emotions cuz what would you gain from expressing it?
if you have a problem they wouldn’t try to make you feel better but to fix your problem instead
very straightforward, direct, blunt even
Te-high-users are the least type to be manipulative
they hate being manipulated
Te is objective, practical and structured if heathy. mean, angry and concerned with cutting thru if unhealthy.
Se is an extroverted perceiving function.
dom-Se —> ESxP (high user)
aux-Se —> ISxP (high user)

tert-Si —> INxP (low user)
inf-Si —> ENxP (low user)

Ti is an introverted judging function.
dom-Ti —> IxTP (high user)
aux-Ti —> ExTP (high user)
tert-Ti —> IxFJ (low user)
inf-Ti —> ExFJ (low user)
detached, highly logical and analytical
values logic (and personal freedom) over everything
cant enjoy anything unless it makes sense to them (for example if a relationship is nice but it doesn’t make sense to them why the other person likes them they’ll break up)
quite and laid back (only IxTP)
have a hard time controlling their anger
not aware of their emotions nor other peoples emotions
if they feel emotions it’s often expressed thru anger
barley ever cry (they just can’t, it’s awful)
tend to run away from their pain thru fun
IxTPs aren’t rly socially aware due to inferior Fe, where ExTP are charming due to tertiary Fe.
it often seems as if they don’t care bout you (even if they do)
might not give a fuck cuz everthing is so meaningless
Ti can be analytical, logical and an affective ‘search machine’ for plot holes of any kind if healthy. detached, emotionally dead, isolated and nihilistic if unhealthy.

Ni is highly abstract, creative and can predict future outcomes and great at making plans if heathy. extreme paranoia, wrapped version of realty and pointing at imaginary monsters if unhealthy.
