The Basic Definitions of Type Dynamics

• Functions The four basic mental processes of
  Sensing (S), Intuition (N), Thinking (T), and
  Feeling (F).

4

• Attitudes The four basic orientations to
  life.Extraversion and Introversion refer to the
  direction of attention and flow of energy
  outward toward the external world (E) or inward
  toward inner processes, thoughts, and feelings
  (I). Judging (J) and Perceiving (P) indicate
  ones preferred way of dealing with the external
  world.

5

• Perceiving two ways of taking in information
  (Sensing and Intuition) in both the outer
  environment and the inner world
• Extraverted Sensing
• Introverted Sensing
• Extraverted Intuition
• Introverted Intuition

6

• Sensing (S)
• What are the facts?
• What exactly has been done?
• What am I and others doing?
• How would and outsider look at this situation?

7

• Intuition (N)
• What are the possibilities?
• What other ways are there for solving this
  problem?
• What do the data imply?
• What are the implications beyond the facts?
• What is this problem analogous to?

8

• Use your sensing to
• Face the facts
• Find out what the situation is exactly
• Find out what others have done what has worked,
  or not worked
• Try not to let wishful thinking or sentiment
  blind you to the realities
• Ask yourself how the situation would look to an
  impartial observer

9

• Use your intuition to
• Brainstorm all the possibilities all the ways
  in which you might change the situation, your
  handling of it, or other peoples attitudes
  toward it
• Try to put aside your natural assumption that you
  have been doing the one and the only obviously
  right thing
• Ask how this problem relates to something else
• Fantasize the best possible solution

10

• Judging two ways of organizing information
  (Thinking and Feeling) and coming to conclusion
  in both the outer and the inner world
• Extraverted Thinking
• Introverted Thinking
• Extraverted Feeling
• Introverted Feeling

11

• Thinking (T)
• What are the pros and cons of each possibility?
• What are the logical consequences of each
  possibility?
• What is the cost of each?
• What are the positive (Pleasant) and negative
  (unpleasant) outcomes of each?
• What is the consequence of not acting?

12

• Feeling (F)
• How much do I care about what I gain or lose in
  each alternative?
• What are the values involved for each
  possibility?
• How will the people concerened react to the
  outcome?
• Who is committed to carry out the solution?
• Will the outcome contribute to individual or
  group harmony?

13

• Use your thinking to
• Conduct an impersonal analysis of cause and
  effect
• Examine all the consequences of the alternative
  solutions, both pleasant and unpleasant

14

• Try to count the fill cost of everything
• Examine every misgiving you may have been
  suppressing out of loyalty to someone or liking
  for something, or reluctance to change your stand

15

• Use your feeling to
• Weigh just how deeply you care about the things
  that will be gained or lost by each of the
  alternatives
• Make a fresh appraisal, trying not to let the
  temporary outweigh the permanent, however
  agreeable or disagreeable the immediate prospect
  may be

16

• Consider how the other people concerned will feel
  about the various outcomes, even if you think
  they are being unreasonable
• Include others feelings, and your own feelings,
  as facts that must be respected

17
Type Dynamics

• The four functions are somewhat like the four
  points of the compass they are just as arbitrary
  and just as indispensable.
• Carl G. Jung, Modern Man in Search of a Soul

18
The Jungian Compass Judging and Perceiving
Thinking Extraverted or Introverted
Judging Judging
Intuition Extraverted or Introverted
Sensing Introverted or Extraverted
Perceiving Perceiving
Feeling Extraverted or Introverted
19

• Dominant Functions The function that is relied
  on most, one of the two middle letters of the
  type. It is the most conscious and well-developed
  of the preferred function. People tend to use
  their dominant function in their preferred world
  external for Es, internal for Is.

20

• Auxiliary Function Second in importance, this is
  the other preferred function, the other middle
  letter. It provides balance between perceiving
  and judging, extroverting and introverting.

21

• Tertiary Function Not one of the two preferred
  functions (and therfore, not included in the
  four-letter type), it is usually much less
  developed and conscious than the first two. It is
  the opposite of the auxilary.

22

• Inferior Function The opposite of the dominant
  function, it has received the least energy and
  attention and therefore is the least developed .
  According to Jungian theory, the inferior
  function is the primary connection to unconscious
  and the most difficult to use in ones conscious
  life.

23
Determining the Hierarchy for a Type

• Look at the last letter of the four-letter type.
  The J or P point to the basic mental tool this
  type uses in the external world.
• If the last letter is J, that type uses its
  preferred judging function (Thinking or Feeling)
  to organize the external environment, liking
  closure, clarity, and structure

24

• If the letter is P, that type uses its preferred
  perceiving function (Sensing or Intuition) to
  remain open to experience in the external
  environment, liking flexibility and spontaneity.

25

• 2. Types direct their dominant function toward
  the world in which they feel most comfortable and
  are most adept. Thus, types that prefer
  Extraversion (the four-letter types beginning
  with E) use their dominant function most often in
  the external world types that prefer
  Introversion (the types beginning with I) will
  use their dominant function primarily internally.

26

• 3. Since JP points to the funciton used in the
  external world, this will be the dominant
  function for those who prefer Extraversion, but
  it will be the auxiliary function for those who
  prefer Introvesion. Types starting with the
  letter I have as their dominant function the
  other middle letter of their type, the function
  that is used internally

27
A Short Rule

• For each type, the two middle letters are the
  preferred mental tools and are therefore the
  dominant and auxiliary functions.

28

• For extraverted types the J or P points directly
  to the dominant function, which is extraverted/
• For introverted types, the J or P points to the
  auxiliary function, which is extraverted. The
  other function in the four letter type is the
  dominant function, which is introverted.

• 4. The tertiary function of a type will be the
  opposite of the auxiliary function. The tertiary
  can be expressed as either an introverted or
  extraverted function.

31

• 5. The inferior (or least preferred) function
  will be the opposite pole and attitude of the
  dominant function. If the dominant function is
  extraverted Feeling, for example, the inferior
  function will be introverted Thinking.
