Finding Your Type.

This article is an extension from the preceding article, Introduction to Jungian Typology, so if you have yet to read that one, I highly suggest you go back and read it, as were are building from the concepts explained in said article.

The building blocks to your type are Cognitive Functions. As we previously mentioned, Cognitive Functions (as we are using the term) is a mental process by which we either learn or make decisions. Cognitive Functions that we use to learn about the world around us are called Perceiving Functions. Cognitive Functions that help us make decisions are called Judging Functions. Do take into consideration that the descriptions provided are generalization. No single one will be 100% you in that you use all cognitive functions. There WILL be one you relate with most.

While you can (and do) use all of the cognitive functions, you do have a favorite cognitive function, one that you use more than any other function. The first step in discovering your type is reading descriptions of each of the cognitive functions and try to relate them to yourself. There may be one or two that absolutely resonate with you, you may have found both your driver and copilot. This does take introspective skill so it isn't recommended that you ask a friend to help you. The best person who can discover your type is you. In this guide, we will cover each cognitive function with reasonable depth and help you to map out your car model to find what your type is. So while you read, think about how each function pertains to you. Ready? Lets begin.

Let's start with the Perceiving Functions.

Extraverted Sensing (Se)

The Kinesthetic Function/ Sensation

Extraverted Sensing, like both Sensing functions, uses the sense perceptions to gather information. Unlike Introverted Sensing (aka “Memory”), it’s not an inwardly-expressed process. There is no imposed timeline of capture info and process later. It’s extraverted, and therefore can get into the action in the moment. Think of it as ‘real-time kinetic’.

Hence the nickname “Sensation.”Where “Memory” seems more interested in information that is reliable, Extraverted Sensing seems to be more interested in what’s verifiable.And what is more verifiable than something with which you are directly interacting? Focus and attention is then given to immediate sense impressions, and all of the instruments which pick up sensory stimuli are honed in on and heightened.

The SP personality types are the most skilled Se users. They notice sensory details and sensations like no other type. They are very aware of what’s going on around them, and can react quickly and spontaneously without being as easily startled as an intuitive type would be. Those with Se Three Year Olds, like the INTJs and INFJs, are extremely sensitive to the sensory world and are easily overstimulated. Se Drivers, on the other hand, can easily take in a lot of sensory information and act accordingly. They are often skilled at juggling, sports, dancing, or arts and crafts. Anything involving the awareness and manipulation of the physical world. They are the Theodoore Roosevelt’s (ESTP), the Harry Houdini’s (ESTP), the Andy Samberg’s (ESFP), and the Audrey Hepburn’s (ISFP) of the world.

Someone who uses the Kinesthetic Function well will be intaking information all the time. They will be constantly finding ways to stimulate said function. Anything that stimulates the five senses will immediately attract those who use Sensation.

You use sensation most when you...

- Use your five senses;

- Do manual labor;

- Work out;

- Dance;

- Perform;

- Do Sports;

- Notice subtle changes in your environment.

Extraverted Sensing – The Good (These will most apply to those with dominant or auxiliary Se)

– Highly aware of surroundings – Spontaneous – Concrete and practical – Observant – Skilled with hands-on tasks – Often excellent  artists or crafters – Coordinated – Enjoy living in the moment

Extraverted Sensing – The Bad (These will apply to unhealthy extraverted sensing types)

– Can be overly-indulgent in sensory pleasures (food, sex, alcohol) – Easily bored – Impulsive – May struggle with poor long-term planning ability – Not always good at finishing projects – Can be risk-prone – May miss the bigger picture – Can be unstructured

Introverted Sensing (Si)

The Traditional Function/ Memory

This may be the one that causes the most confusion, since people automatically assume that means anyone using this function has a good memory. This isn't true, instead, people use this process to learn new information based on their memories.

Introverted Sensing wants reliable information. That’s its ‘guiding star’, so to speak, which is why SJs seem so insanely tied to personal experience and expert opinion. (Well, ‘insanely tied’ from the perspective of this ENTP/Si inferior.)Both Sensing functions use their sense perceptions to gather information.But Introverted Sensing doesn’t just take in information in the moment, it’s introverted, or inwardly directed. That means it captures the direct sensory experience and ruminates over it later. Which makes total sense, because what is more ‘reliable’ than a direct sensory experience that you get to spend time thinking about?

Another aspect of "Memory" is tradition. I have interviewed and surveyed hundreds of people, each with different types. I have found that Se users are deeply tethered to the ways of the past. They use this function as a way to structure their lives in such away as they use the past as the guiding force in the present. They often say something like "This is the way we always did it, and it works. Why would we want to change?"

Introverted sensing is Driver of the SJ types. Introverted sensing types have an awareness and reverie of past experience. They learn from a plethora of personal experience and readily recall facts and tried-and-true techniques that have worked for them before. They notice the world around them and see all kinds of associations related to everything in their view. A flower isn’t just a flower, it’s a reminder of their grandmother’s garden, the smell of hand cream, the feeling of soil under their fingertips from when they were a child. The introverted sensor can easily and swiftly recall associations from past experience when seeing something in the present moment. They are good at recalling facts and they use this in their favor when troubleshooting or planning. They are the George Washington’s (ISTJ), the Warren Buffett’s (ISTJ), and the Mother Teresa’s (ISFJ) of the world. They balance a specialized memory with a practical, down-to-earth mindset and a desire to do good in the community. Again don't think of this in terms of memory, instead in terms of tradition and ethos.

For those with tertiary or inferior introverted sensing, like the NP types, it helps them to place trust in their personal experiences; making them more individualistic and idiosyncratic than many types. Dominant introverted sensors (ISTJs and ISFJs) are easily able to compare and contrast new information and experiences with their personal experiences to see if anything has changed or if new patterns have emerged. They are excellent at relaying information. They store their memories vividly within their minds; and because of this can often think back to a time in the past and reflect on exactly how they felt, what it was like, and remember every detail beautifully. Thinking introverted sensors will be better at remembering the details of systems, projects and things; whereas feeling introverted sensors will be better at remembering the details of people, and events involving them.

Introverted Sensing – The Good (These will mostly apply to those with dominant or auxiliary Si – however, they can apply to anyone)

– Detail-oriented – Responsible – Excellent memory (Usually) – Concrete and practical – Creates order and organization – Reliable – Observant – Hard-Working – Preserves important traditions

Introverted Sensing – The Bad (These will apply to unhealthy introverted sensing types)

– Reluctant to change – Stubborn – Hesitant to seek out new ideas – has to do things “by the book” – Prone to being judgmental – Inflexible – Reluctant to innovate or improvise

Extraverted Intuition (Ne)

The Experimenting Function/ Exploration

Extraverted intuition (Ne) is the ability to see possibilities, potential, and hidden patterns everywhere. Where Extraverted Sensing (Se) is about taking in information through the five senses and acting on it, extraverted intuition is about taking in information that is largely theoretical; concepts, thoughts, ideas.  This is why, usually, extraverted sensors are skilled at sports, weaponry, cooking, or anything that involves the physical world. They are also good at seeing in-the-moment opportunities and getting involved in them. Extraverted intuitors are skilled at coming up with ideas, concepts, and possibilities. They look at their surroundings and see numerous underlying meanings and ideas that they want to explore. Ne-users are the Dr. Seusse’s, the Oscar Wilde’s, the Walt Disney’s of the world.

Ne-users are always looking to the future to see what could be. They love the world of limitless possibilities, and keep their minds open to constant growth and improvement. They tend to be very creative people, which is why the world of artists, musicians, and writers is full of Ne users. They desire new and novel experiences, and often become restless if left in a routine, unchanging place in life. Ne users are often groundbreaking entrepreneurs and visionaries; they have a desire to make things happen and make their mark on the world. They get a rush of excitement when they’re able to pursue their dreams and plans, and their naturally charismatic personalities makes it easy for them to find others to join them. Another trait of Ne users is their ability to make obscure connections between seemingly unrelated things. The Ne user can see two very different topics and bring them together  in a way that can be surprising to many, and often gives the Ne user an off-beat sense of humor. Ne users are slow to finalize decisions and form judgments; they like to keep their options open and their minds open so that they can constantly be evolving their thought processes. For this reason they are often very open-minded, accepting people who aren’t quick to impose their judgments on other people. The minds of Ne users often move at a frenetic pace. They often seem restless, absorbed in thoughts, and enthusiastic about sharing them. They want life to be exciting and full of fun and discovery; and often times find sleep to be a boring waste of time. For this reason, they can have erratic sleep patterns or suffer from insomnia. They want to constantly be taking in new information, and don’t like to ‘shut off’ their minds. Trying to sleep with a Ne user can be frustrating for a sensor, because they  will constantly be bringing up new ideas when the sensor is more likely to be shutting down and quicker to fall asleep.

People with auxiliary extraverted intuition (INTPs and INFPs) will probably relate to most of the things above; but it may not be as extreme. They will channel the intuition first through either introverted thinking or introverted feeling. This can make them seem a little more quiet or focused than ENFPs or ENTPs, who use Ne as their dominant function.

Ne Users – Strengths: – Open-minded – Curious – Creative – Energetic and enthusiastic – Good at communicating – Charismatic – Excellent brainstormers – Original – Flexible – Visionary – Charming

Ne Users – Weaknesses: – Unfocused – Struggle with practical skills – Can overthink and obsess over things – Sometimes independent to a fault – Prone to procrastination – Turbulent emotionally (more with the feeling types) – Can look down on other, more practical types and see them as “narrow minded” – Can struggle with following through or completing projects.

Introverted Intuition

The Philosophizing Function/ Perspectives

Both the intuitive processes are more focused on ‘what’s behind the curtain’ which, by definition, can never be directly experienced. So, in order to speculate on the things that can’t be directly known, both intuitive processes become spectacularly good at advanced pattern recognition.You get clues on what’s behind the curtain by picking up on the data points you can see, and then forming patterns to make speculative leaps.

Like Introverted Sensing, Introverted Intuition does this in a ‘ruminatory’ fashion because it’s also introverted, or inwardly expressed. Which patterns are available in the ‘inner world’ of a human being? Since all the action is taking place in the brain, the patterns that become the most interesting are the ones that form in the mind.

Our beliefs, thoughts and feelings are casually called “perspectives,” since they are our subjective ‘take’ on how the world works.

Introverted Intuition is focused on the patterns that form those perspectives, and over time it starts to see the ‘pattern of the patterns’. Meaning, if my mind forms patterns in this way when given certain information and stimuli, then it’s a pretty safe bet others are, too. This is why users of Introverted Intuition aren’t married to their own perspectives. They can take a meta-perspective and understand the ways in which we’re the same and different on a cerebral level. The nickname “Perspectives” seemed to at least direct people to the root of how this complex process works.If “Memory” likes reliable information and “Sensation” wants verifiable information, it could be said that “Perspectives” loves deep insight.

I gave gave the function the name of the Philosopher (Or the Philosophizing Function) in that many if not all famous philosophers use this mental process at a deep and intrinsic level. The deeper insight seen in Ni is exactly what we use when we ask questions like "What is goodness?" or "Is live meaningful?" etc. Ni users are seen as the most abstract, idealistic of the types.

Ni-users love the world of ideas and visions, and often think in images, symbols, and metaphors. They notice patterns easily, and are excellent strategists, often coming up with a “master plan” or forecast of the future. They are the Nikola Tesla’s, the Stephen Hawking’s (INTJs) or the Leo Tolstoy’s and the C.S. Lewis’s (INFJs). The thinking Ni types will come across as very blunt and sarcastic; they will be obsessed with finding the absolute truth behind an idea, and consider themselves realists. The feeling Ni types have a more accommodating communication style; still often sarcastic, but often at their own expense. They will feel other people’s emotions and be much more heavily affected by them. They will usually work hard to maintain a sense of harmony in their environment.

Ni Users – Strengths: – Creative – Insightful – Inspiring – Passionate and determined – Strategic – Imaginative – Independent – Dedicated – Original – Conceptual

Ni Users – Weaknesses: – Overly analytical – Perfectionistic – Loathe structure – Highly sensitive (more common with feeling types) – Overly sarcastic – Judgmental (more common with thinking types) – Extremely private – Easily burn out – Prone to over-indulgence when stressed – Gets lost in foreseeing, ignoring the needs of the “here and now”

Now let's move on the the Judging (decision making) Functions.

Extraverted Thinking (Te)

The Utilitarian Function; Effectiveness

Napolean Bonaparte, an ENTJ, once said “Ambition is never in a greater hurry than I. It merely keeps pace with my way of thinking.”

Extraverted Thinking, like both thinking processes, focuses on impersonal criteria for making decision. Metrics, analysis, and data points are the focal point, and Extraverted Thinking is the outer world expression of this.There is a quote I’ve seen many times that says what can’t be measured can’t be managed, and management is of great interest to Extraverted Thinking.Measurements are how we know we’re getting closer to our goals, and they give us the ability to test/iterate how we go about things.Since Extraverted Thinking is intrinsically fascinated by measurements, goal setting and improvements, ultimately streamlined systems that deliver results become their guiding star.

Extraverted thinking is the process of understanding and organizing the external world through rational, logical thought. Te (extraverted thinking) users want everything to make sense, be in order, and want tasks and projects done quickly. They have little patience for pondering and mulling over decisions, but like to come up with quick, workable plans that they can enforce or get done right away. They are excellent at planning, scheduling, and organizing the environment, sometimes using charts, graphs, outlines, and so on. They are wonderful at delegating to get a job done, and organizing people to make plans and ideas get accomplished. The dominant extraverted thinkers (ENTJs and ESTJs) are take-charge people who can make great leaders, presidents, and entrepreneurs.

Extraverted Thinking is very action-oriented, because it focuses more on the outer world of people and things than the internal world. This is why ENTJs and ESTJs will seem extremely goal-oriented, motivated, and ready to push forward when making a decision or devising a plan. Those with auxiliary Extraveerted Thinking; INTJs and ISTJs, will consult the inner world of Intuition or Sensing before they access Extraverted Thinking. This makes them seem a little more quiet and reflective before they move forward into action or decision-making.Extraverted thinkers are often very intelligent, and love to study and learn. However, they also love to get things done. They not only get the ideas, they put the plans into action. They will almost always have a project they will be working on. Maintaining control of their outer environment is very important to Te users; keeping things organized, up-to-date, and efficiency is key.

Te Users – The Good: – Logical and rational – Organized – Good at scheduling – Good at delegating – Dedicated – Direct and honest – Efficient – Productive – Excellent at following through on projects – Strong leadership skills – Hard working

Te Users – The Bad (Not all Te users will have these traits. They tend to be more common among unhealthy/unbalanced Te users): – Can be tactless and harsh – Can be seen as too controlling – Impatient – Inflexible – Judgmental – Bossy – Can lack emotional intelligence – Can trample other people’s needs in an effort to “get things done”. – Can be condescending to people who don’t accept their views.

Introverted Thinking (Ti)

The Objective Function/ Accuracy

Much like Extraverted Thinking, Introverted Thinking focuses on impersonal criteria to make decisions. However, this is an introverted process, and so it is inwardly turned and expressed. All of the introverted processes (as you have probably pattern recognized) are subjective to the individual, and Introverted Thinking is no exception to this rule.

So, how does one understand metrics, analysis and data points subjectively? You do it by ‘making sense’ of something for yourself.This is true rationalization, the ability to reason through a subject or concept within one own’s understanding, even if it doesn’t match ‘outer world’ data.For example, Einstein understood the data points of quantum physics long before there was outer world ‘evidence’ to support it. The concepts just ‘made sense’ to him, and when he shared them they ‘made sense’ to other people, too.

Sometimes evidence precedes understanding, and sometimes understanding precedes evidence. For Introverted Thinking, ‘getting’ something is the litmus test. This is a trap, though, which Introverted Thinking instinctively understands.How does one ensure that what makes analytical sense isn’t simply confirmation bias? The only way to remove confirmation bias is rigorous and merciless clean-slicing of data.This is done through constantly scanning for inconsistencies and incongruities, the way a computer system may regularly scan for viruses.This doesn’t mean that the Introverted Thinking process will always be right – far from it.but that’s its ultimate goal – information purified from incongruities, inconsistencies and biases which produce clean concepts and an understanding of how things work. For this reason, we chose a nickname that indicates the fundamental goal of this function making decisions: “Accuracy.”

Introverted thinkers love to solve problems; and they are excellent at improving systems and making things run efficiently. They want to have a full, thorough knowledge of something before moving forward and fixing it. While a Te user likes to get a brief idea of the problem and then jump right into fixing it, a Ti user will want to know all the components and figure out the whole system before they fix it. For this reason, Te users can get a lot done more quickly, but may also make more mistakes and not come up with as perfected of a system as a Ti user.

Even though they don’t like to be pressured, Ti users love finding ways to get things done efficiently. They also like to figure out how they can do things with the least amount of work; which can sometimes be confused with laziness. While it may seem “lazy” or like a shortcut to other types, their process is incredibly effective. This same rule applies to speech; introverted thinkers are not long-winded, and prefer to say what needs to be said in a concise, efficient manner. They “get to the point” quickly and effectively communicate what needs to be said. This can vary somewhat with ENTPs and ESTPs who use Introverted Thinking as their auxiliary (second-favorite) function; they can be a little more talkative and descriptive when speaking than ISTPs and INTPs with dominant Introverted Thinking. This is because they first access Extraverted Intuition or Extraverted Sensing before Introverted Thinking, and so this can lead to expounding more on various avenues or insights.

Ti Users – The Good: – Logical and rational – Efficient – Good at building and constructing frameworks – Excellent at troubleshooting – Analytical – Good problem solvers – Vast store of knowledge – Good at finding inconsistencies – Good at improving systems – Open-minded – Objective thinkers

Ti Users – The Bad (Not all Ti users will have these traits. They tend to be more common among unhealthy/unbalanced Te users):: – Often stubborn – Can lack tactfulness and sensitivity – Very private – Loathe rules and guidelines – Can be easily bored – Can be insulting and condescending to others – Can be paranoid about others controlling them – Can start a lot of projects, and not finish them.

Extraverted Feeling (Fe)

The Interpersonal Function/ Harmony

Extraverted Feeling, like both feeling processes, makes decisions based on how things are impacting people on an emotional level. It turns its attention to feelings in the ‘outside world’, or other people’s feelings. As humans we are a symphony of emotions and every interaction with other human beings turn into miniature jam sessions.

We project our feelings outward onto each other all the time, with truly fascinating results. We can use our feelings to communicate intimacy and love, and we can use them to create the kind of drama that has us throwing chairs on syndicated television when we discover that we are NOT the baby’s father.For a process that is focused on the nuanced interplay of these emotional dances, the most satisfying result is one of simpatico: I’m emotionally okay with you and you’re emotionally okay with me.

Sometimes we do this by creating unspoken social contracts in order to establish how not to step on each other’s toes, and sometimes we do this by pretending everything is okay when it’s not. Generally, Extraverted Feeling does this by being interested in and making sure everyone is getting their needs met.The most sophisticated expression of this process is acknowledging that emotional confusion is part of life and in those moments ‘the way out is through’, or conflict resolution. Ultimately, Extraverted Feeling isn’t about avoiding all conflict, it’s about guiding our way through these conflicts in order to get the to true goal: “Harmony.”

Extraverted feeling is the desire to create harmony and warmth in relationships. Extraverted feelers have an uncanny way of absorbing other people’s emotions and identifying with them. They want to make others feel at ease, and are very conscious of others feelings and moods.

Manners, social graces, friendliness, and consideration are the hallmarks of Fe dominant and auxiliary types. They want to create an atmosphere of good-will, comfort, and harmony around them. They care deeply about others, and the human race as a whole, and find global problems deeply upsetting. They want to change the world and make it a better place, and will often try to bring awareness to others about problems being faced around the world. When it comes to conversation, Fe users will readily laugh at jokes, try to get people to interact kindly with each other, and adjust their conversation to the moods of those around them. They will ask questions or disclose information about themselves as a way to help others feel comfortable or open up. They may master self-depracating humor, making fun of themselves so others will feel at ease around them.

FJ types in particular are famous for wearing their feelings on their sleeves; even the very private INFJ may have a hard time hiding their feelings because Fe users are usually very expressive with their facial features. They also become easily embarrassed, and will probably show it in some way by blushing or becoming very flustered.

Fe users find immense joy in building rapport and a bond of shared feeling. They enjoy supporting and counseling others with emotional or relationship difficulties, and friendships are extremely important. Even the INFJs and ISFJs, though they have a strong need for alone time, highly value close friendships and will almost never turn down an opportunity to listen to a friend in need. Extraverted feeling is a blessing and a curse to those who have it. The ability to absorb emotions can sometimes be difficult in situations where conflict arises. Fe users literally “feel” other’s emotions to a point where it can cause severe distress if someone around them is angry or sad. If those around them aren’t aware of others’ feelings, or make decisions largely based on logic, without regard for harmony, the Fe user can feel confusion and stress over the lack of harmony in the atmosphere. If someone is angry at them, the Fe user can become so distressed that they will literally become physically sick. Fe dominant and auxiliary types will do almost anything to resolve conflict and bring the mood back to a warm, harmonious atmosphere.

Fe Users – The Good: – Polite – Friendly – Good listeners – Empathetic – Expressive – Peacemakers – Crave harmonyI – Easily understands and relates to others emotions – Nurturing – Helpful – Forgiving

Fe Users – The Bad (what you would see in an unhealthy/imbalanced Fe user): – Can be phony and insincere – Can be too controlling of the values of others. – Can be “people pleasers” to an unhealthy degree – May hold on to bad relationships for too long – May become so obsessed with having harmony that they avoid any type of conflict, even necessary conflict – Can be manipulative; since Fe-users read other’s emotions so well, they can know how to manipulate them easily

Introverted Feeling (Fi)

The Moral Compass/ Authenticity

Introverted Feeling, like Extraverted Feeling, uses human emotion as its criteria for making decisions. But as an introverted process, it is inwardly turned. The focus is on how things are impacting the individual on an emotional level, making the subjective human experience endlessly interesting. Like talking to a room full of people, we have many parts inside of ourselves and they’re not always on the same page. There are parts of us that want to go to the gym and other parts that want to sit around and watch The Biggest Loser while eating ice cream. (As Jack Black recently said, “I want a hot body. But I also want tacos.”) When a decision point comes, Introverted Feeling is about checking in with all those inner parts and voices to determine what feels the most in alignment with oneself. This can be confusing, and sometimes Introverted Feeling only knows the ‘right’ decision after it’s been made – because that’s when the voices of protest or support become the loudest.

Ultimately, Introverted Feeling is about listening to all those voices within and making the choice that feels the most in alignment with their true “Authenticity.”

If Harmony asks, “How do I get everyone’s needs met,” then it could be said that Authenticity asks, “What feels right to me?”

Introverted feeling is a deep, intensive focus on someone’s own personal values, tastes, and emotions. Unlike extraverted feeling, which is largely focused on people outside oneself, introverted feeling is focused primarily on ones’ own value system. For this reason, it’s often described as “subjective” feeling. Fi users are individualistic and determined to discover their own sense of right and wrong. They can usually identify how they feel; this is in contrast to Fe users, who easily can identify other people’s emotions, but can be very confused about their own. Introverted feelers have a deep set of personal values, morals, feelings and tastes that they live by. They are constantly evaluating whether their choices match up to these values. Fi-dominant types are very sincere people and are usually incredibly thoughtful and empathetic. FP types are very adept at seeing through people’s motives, and picking up on what is “fake” or insincere. Where extraverted feelers want very much to create an atmosphere of harmony, and where everyone is “getting along”, Fi users are much more concerned with creating an atmosphere that coincides with their inner values. They are less concerned with social niceties and more concerned with being true to themselves and their individual preferences. While they prefer harmony, they dislike anything phony, and will avoid social niceties if it means going against what they feel inside.

Introverted feelers aren’t as emotionally expressive outwardly as extraverted feelers. They like to keep their emotions private and handle them largely on their own. They will only share their deep feelings with those they know they can trust and who will listen well. Fi users are slow to put anyone in a “box”.  If you have been accepted into the Fi user’s inner circle, there is probably nothing you could tell them that would make them reject you unless you violate one of their deeply-held values. They can be very accepting people for those they choose to love or have friendships with. INFPs are often champions of the “underdogs” and choose a cause or group of people or animals that they want to help or “fight” for. Introverted feelers are more likely to say “no, I’m not interested” when asked to do something they don’t find personally interesting. While Fe users will often do what is needed to keep everyone happy, Fi users are usually a bit better at saying “no” to unwanted activities.

In a nutshell, Fi users will do whatever they can to live by their own personal values; and are not easily swayed from their opinions. They can easily empathize with those they relate to or have a common bond with, but  don’t need to have group harmony to the extent that Fe users do.  Fi-dominant types may even come across as cold, when really they are just withdrawing to analyze their values and thoughts. Fi-auxiliary types, like the ESFP and ENFP, filter their feeling through their dominant functions, extraverted sensing or extraverted intuition. This means they will have a much more expressive, talkative, lively air about them and may be more expressive of their values and beliefs than Fi-dominant types.

Fi Users – The Good: – Deep personal values – Champion of the downtrodden – Emotionally intelligent – Accepting – Empathetic – Merciful – Helpful – Stands up for their beliefs – Sincere – Sensitive

Fi Users – The Bad (what you would see in an unhealthy/imbalanced Fi user): – Overly dramatic – Self-centered – Takes everything too personally – Overreacts to things or is overly-sensitive – Can be emotionally manipulative – Fails to take responsibility for mistakes
