References  \n1.Introduction, Motivational Statement  \nand Personal Experiences  \nC.G. Jung’s cognitive function model has significantly improved and influenced my understanding of humanity over the course of the last ten years. So far, I was more interested in the theory per se, uncoupled from other people’s research or writing about it and regardless of whether or not it is considered technically “true” – I was making my own observations through this filter of the world and the less I knew about other people’s interpretations of the theory, the better to formulate my own, unclouded judgement on its veracity. (Funnily enough, this is a very typical approach for my Jungian cognitive function type, TiNe-Si-Fe (Jung, 2016. p. 319)  \nAfter ten years of amassing a sample group of roughly 25 people I am in contact with on a regular basis, getting all of them to take the same test and closely observing the relationship between their stereotyped character profiles and their real lives unfolding before my eyes, I feel relatively confident in saying that while the Jungian cognitive function model is unlikely to be the last word on personality theory, it has proven its worth to me as an imperfect, but meaningful theory time and time again.  \nTo provide a bit more context: I was a very self-involved and singular child, who was often confused by social situations and the odd ways in which people acted “naturally” without a second thought. In this confusion, the one thing that did make sense to me was the pursuit of truth and the slow uncovering of the underlying rules of the universe and the puzzling phenomenon that is human society. Consequently, it was even more puzzling to me when people, once presented with these “truths” I had uncovered (some right, some wrong, some I am still not sure about), simply chose to ignore them and to act in ways that seemed, frankly, irrational.  \nWhen I was 14 and in the midst of an identity crisis that had me wondering whether I was human at all, I found a forum for Asperger’s syndrome called “Wrong Planet”. The people were lovely, but I soon realised that too many things in my life did not line up with an autistic diagnosis. They did, however, point me in the direction of MBTI tests (see 2.1.) and when I got my result (INTP) and read the profile, I could see all aspects of my personality clicking into place for the first time. I had my parents, my friends, even casual acquaintances take the test and their results offered me invaluable and profound insight into many aspects of their lives that I had previously found confusing and “irrational”. This understanding only deepened once I moved on from MBTI to Cognitive Functions.  \nI slowly constructed a working model of all cognitive functions and would, experimentally, comment on what I suspected was going on in my friends’ or family members’ minds every now and then. Most of the time, the theory proved correct – sometimes, it even opened up new avenues of self-understanding for my friends and family. The number of conflicts and misunderstandings I have solved by referring back to what I know about cognitive functions comes up to somewhere between 50 and 100. For the past four years, I have also led a team of five to seven people (all of which I naturally had take","cbCaihPLxBtth0YR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihPLxBtth0YR","pdf",288749,11,"English","# Introduction, Motivational Statement and Personal Experiences\n# A Description of C.G.
