Hi Decaf, Thanks for your reply! All forgiven, and I am not trying to skip deeper understaning of the Jungian typology (and MBTI), rather my concern is to REALLY understand the functions, and how they can express themselves. I still cant come up with a welknown person, as example of what I...

Thanks Flow, I can see that this thread does not belong in this section, however I dont know how to move it to another - maybe the moderator could help?....... Decaf. when you write: 'I would recommend reading some books on the subject if you want to get beyond a basic internet knowledge' I...

Yes, of course its impossible to type a person from a describtion. It´s not so much about him, but understanding N and S. I have been doubting the validity of typing from the start, the claim that everybody can be put into the system. Maybe some of us are in the 'grey zone´and maybe some of...

I thought I have finally understood the functions and found it simple to type, but now I am in doubt if a family member of mine is a Se or Ne. And THAT ought be an easy one. But to me it seems as he uses Se and Ne equally and both with success. N: He is very restless, always has new ideas...

Listen to this discussion between an INTJ and INFJ, discussing how their Fe and Te makes them view situations very diffently: http://www.intj.org/articles/36/ (Scroll down and you´ll find it. There should be a video also, but that didnt work when I tried). They speak about how if you are...

Hi again Decaf. I didnt see you post before sending the above, and yes, that was us who had the discussion about subjective and objective. Let me know what you think of my idea.

Decaf, I dont think I explainded it wrong? Feeling types DO base their opinions on likes/dislikes. That is what feeling is, as I have understood it. A value is basically something we "like". Do this have value for you? = do you like it? Therefore it can be difficult to have a discussion based...

Hi again. I have just had a funny experience with a feeling type (IF) Our communication have suffered for a looong time, and from MY point of view it is like this: She have been wanting to be a thinking type for the last 10 years, which she is not, and what happens is that she comes up with...

Cryptonia and Anling, I might be able to tell her how her behavior makes me FEEL, but that have created a lot of comunication breakdown in the past... I know that feeling types usually are good with feelings, but she is only good with feelings that she think is correct to have. If I said that...

I would suspect that many of you have had similar problems like me in getting along with an ext. feeling type, as it is INFPs inferior function, and so the type most different to themself. A close family member of mine is a ESFJ. We have never been able to reach any conclusion or agreement...

Decaf wrote: I liked that explanation/definition, although I was thinking: Is this not what is usually referred to as Extroversion vs. Introvertion? Yes, certainly. But somehow it seemed true to me that ET then was extreem objectivity, while IF was extreem subjectivity, but.....no! (Jung...

I have been thinking much about both your replies, Decaf. The first one I find very interesting but I have to be better at differentiate between the functions before being able to combine them the MBTI way (where another function than the main function can be more obvious to other people). But...

With some people its obvious - but with a whole lot of people its hard (for me) to decide whether they belong to the feeling or thinking type. A friend of mine...yes, he has strong feelings, gets easily hurt, and can be rather dramatic, hysterical - but is it the ammount of feeling that...
