The Functions
The middle two letters represent the functions of the personality type. Functions being the process through which we either gather or interpret information in our lives. -Perceiving : The perceiving functions are known as the irrational functions because they represent the type of information we take from the world, which is thought to be an unconscious preference. If you think of the brain as a hard drive, perception is the input. Sensing (S): Sensing is the gathering of data through the physical world. S types build knowledge through the 5 senses and concrete details. Information to S types is to be experienced. iNtuition (N): Intuition is the gathering of data through the world of ideas. Information is stored in the abstract form. Knowledge is stored as concepts instead of details. Information to N types is to be thought through. -Judgment: The judgment functions are referred to as rational because they are the deliberate cognitive reasoning. Input received from perception has no meaning until the judgment function processes it. Feeling (F): Feeling evaluates perception and determines importance based on a sense of harmony. It judges holistically to maintain peace. **Feeling in the MB system is not equated to emotion. Feeling is a reasoning process handled in the higher brain. Contrast with the lower brain's limbic system which has physical responses to stimuli we experience as emotion. Thinking (T): Thinking is linear judgment based on logical axioms. It bases decisions on information in a cause/effect, if/then, true/false fashion to reach validity.
-Extraverted Perceivers (P): P types constantly gather information through the external world and judge internally. They desire a consistent inner world. Externally they appear to be scattered and unstructured. In general, decisions are withheld for the idea that new information will always need to be taken into account. The world is to be responded to and understood. Common P traits are less pronounced in introverts as will be covered later.
Extraverted Sensing (Se): Exploration of the physical world. Looks to be what can be experienced tangibly. Gathering of 'what is.' Extraverted iNtuition (Ne): Exploration of the world of ideas. Looks to what can be conceived from information. Expands upon ideas and the environment. Wonders 'what could be' Introverted Feeling (Fi): Inner understanding of what is harmonious. Fi has a system of complex values as its inner structure. Analyzes 'what is important' Introverted Thinking (Ti): Inner understanding of what is logical. Ti has a system of complex axioms as its inner structure. Analyzes 'how it is'
-Extraverted Judges (J): J types organize their external world based on their internal perceptions. They tend to be goal driven in attempt to achieve consistency in their environment. Perceptual information is stored as content to be judged and applied. The external world is to be controlled. Introverted Sensing (Si): Framework of perceptions of previously experienced physical information based on what has been proven true in the past. A collection of 'what was' Introverted iNtuition (Ni): A synthesizing of internal concepts to predict possibility. Ties unrelated stored information to create perception. A way to determine 'what will be' Extraverted Feeling (Fe): Application of perception to organize the external world to achieve harmony. Desires to do 'what we need' Extraverted Thinking (Te): Application of perception to organize the external world to it's logical structure. Desires to do 'what makes sense'
