Do you think a particular function can unhealthily result in a superiority complex? If so which and why? Also, your blog is addictive and I love it. Thanks!
Thanks. They all have equal potential to result in a superiority complex and to be obnoxious because people tend to be biased towards their own cognitive functions. Some random examples below.
Ne-doms (ENTP, ENFP) tend to think theyâre the most creative.
Example: âIâm so brilliant and full of great ideas. Youâre all peons put on this planet to do my bidding and to make my visions a reality. I donât want to do any of the work, you all do the backbreaking labor for me.â
Ni-doms (INTJ, INFJ)Â tend tothink theyâre the most wise.
Example: âLet me tell you how your plan/goal/relationship is doomed to fail for all the following reasons. I canât believe you canât see this coming. Itâs going to happen. Trust me. Watch. Seeâ there it is. I told you so.â
Te-doms (ENTJ, ESTJ)Â tend tothink theyâre the most correct*.
Example: âMy way is the best way. Iâm getting the job done so we donât need to discuss it any further and we donât need your input. Sit down, shut up, and follow my lead.â
*Iâm aware this sentence is grammatically incorrectâ itâs deliberate.
Ti-doms (INTP, ISTP)Â tend tothink theyâre the most intelligent.
Example: âWatch me tell you all the ways your solution is illogical then debate you in circles without contributing anything productive towards an alternate solution because everything in life is subjective and I canât ever be sure anything is truly âcorrectâ.â
Se-doms (ESTP, ESFP)Â tend tothink theyâre the most interesting.
Example: âIâm cool, youâre all boring and need to learn to live in the moment. Seize the day. Travel. Explore. Be more like me. Even if I have no idea how to pay my rent at the end of the month or how Iâm going to survive until the end of the week.â
Si-doms (ISTJ, ISFJ)Â tend to think theyâre the most responsible.
Example: âIâm always bailing people out due to their own stupidity and shit hits the fan when Iâm not around. I shouldnât have to do this but Iâm too tired to teach them how to be independent so let me just complain and keep doing what Iâm doing.â
Fe-doms (ENFJ, ESFJ) tend tothink theyâre the most righteous.
Example: âIâm always sacrificing my own happiness for other people because Iâm selfless and good. I also know whatâs best for everybody so itâs my responsibility to save everyone even if theyâve told me more than once to butt out of their business. And by more than once, I mean a dozen times. Iâm sure they donât mean it.â
Fi-doms (INFP, ISFP)Â tend to think theyâre the most authentic.
Example: âEveryone is so materialistic and fake. Most of them donât know what they want or who they are in life but I do so let me go around telling everyone that their life pursuits are empty, meaningless, and wonât make them happy.â
