(There is , in my experience , a good deal of confusion , especially among those without some grounding in psychological type , about the nature of these functions and attitudes. The words don't necessarily mean what we expect them to mean , and caution should be used in applying common usage to these terms if this system is to be of value in the understanding of basic temperaments.) In this system there are eight basic types , each designated by its dominant (defining , controlling , pre-eminent) function: Symbol Jungian TypeMyers-Briggs Types FeExtraverted FeelingESFJ ENFJ FiIntroverted FeelingISFP INFP NeExtraverted IntuitionENFP ENTP NiIntroverted IntuitionINFJ INTJ SeExtraverted SensingESFP ESTP SiIntroverted SensingISFJ ISTJ TeExtraverted ThinkingESTJ ENTJ TiIntroverted ThinkingISTP INTP Jung developed these types within a mental illness model. He spoke of functions being dominant , auxiliary , tertiary and inferior. The 16 types popularized through the MBTI reflect each of Jung's eight types subdivided by auxiliary (secondary) functions. Of the four functions , two ( Feeling and Thinking) are the rational , or deciding , functions. The other two (Sensing and iNtuition) are the irrational ( non-conclusive/perceiving) functions. If an individual has a dominant rational function , one of the irrational functions is always auxiliary. Likewise , dominant N (irrational) would have an F or T ( rational) function. Third and fourth functions are mirror-images of the first and second. For example , if Sensing is first and Thinking is secondary , Feeling (the opposite of Thinking) must be tertiary , and iNtuition (Sensing's opposite) would be fourth. There are two schools of thought concerning the attitude , or direction of energy flow , of each function within a given type. Some believe that if the dominant function is Introverted , the other three will be Extraverted ; likewise , an Extravert's non-dominant functions are all Introverted. Others think that the attitude alternates from first to fourth position as I/E/I/E for Introverts and E/I/E/I for Extraverts. The functional analyses in our profiles follow the latter alternating pattern. In summary , the sixteen types in four-function terminology are: Dominant Auxiliary Tertiary Inferior ESFJ ISFJ ESTJ ISTJ Fe Si Te S i Si Fe Si Te Ne T i Ne Fi T i Ne Fi Ne ENFJ INFJ ENFP INFP Fe Ni Ne Fi N i Fe Fi Ne Se T i Te Si T i Se Si Te Dominant Auxiliary Tertiary Inferior ESFP ISFP ESTP ISTP Se Fi Se Ti Fi Se Ti Se Te Ni Fe Ni Ni Te Ni Fe ENTJ INTJ ENTP INTP Te Ni Ne Ti Ni Te Ti Ne Se Fi Fe Si F i Se Si Fe Copyright © 1996-2011 Joe Butt Home Understanding the wiring of the personality type means diving deeper into type theory. In this article , we’ll go past the general INFJ personality description to explore the INFJ’s cognitive functions. Cognitive functions are the root of personality type. The concept was originally developed by psychologist Carl Jung and was later used as the base of the MBTI® . Understanding the Jungian cognitive functions goes much deeper than what can be learned from an online personality test result. Awareness of cognitive functions helps us understand how our brains work. Essentially , the functions explain how we process information and make decisions. They help us see past the what of personality type and uncover the why.Want more information about your personality type? We recommend the TypeFinder Personality Test. Understanding the Cognitive Function StackJung identified eight cognitive functions. Each of the 16 personality types uses all eight functions but has a preference for their top four. These top four preferred functions make up what we call each type’s function stack.The function stack explains the interplay between various aspects of our","cbCaiozNfVtmXnbU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiozNfVtmXnbU","pdf",77427,"English","# Understanding the Cognitive Function Stack\n## Jung’s eight functions and the four-function terminology\n## Rational vs perceiving functions\n## Attitudes: extraversion and introversion\n## The function stack and preferred vs shadow functions\n## Shadow function names and meanings\n## What are the INFJ’s cognitive functions?","[{\"question\":\"What are Jung’s eight cognitive functions and how do they relate to the MBTI types?\",\"answer\":\"Jung identified eight cognitive functions that each of the 16 personality types uses.
