My first Thread!
Instead of introducing myself with an emotional back-story and let you infer my basis for my interactions on this Forum, I will give you the basis for my interactions on this Forum and you can infer any back-story you with (or ask me yourself).
I tend to adhere to the Jungian 16 type model with an 8 function personality set. I certainly hope that everyone on this blog is familiar with the types otherwise I must ask "Do you even know what 'INTP' means?" So I'll skip that summary. To my understanding the 8 function set is not so well understood so I'll do a brief explanation.
The 8 types are:
Se : Extroverted Sensing
Si : Introverted Sensing
Ne : Extroverted Intuition
Ni : Introverted Intuition
Fe: Extroverted Feeling
Fi: Introverted Feeling
Te: Extroverted Thinking
Ti : Introverted Thinking
INTPs (which I'll assume many of you are) express these functions...
Firstly, We have a Dominate Ti, Auxiliary Ne, Tertiary Si and an Inferior Fe.
Our Shadow functions (never truly expressed but always working in our subconscious) are, The Shadow Dominate Fi, shadow Auxiliary Se, shadow Tertiary Ni and lastly the shadow Inferior Te.
Individuals who exhibit our shadow functions (ISFPs) are known as our enigmas.
(I’ve heard that ISFPs are the most common personality type and I’ve also heard that working with an ISFP can help bring out each-other’s strengths and weaknesses. Theoretically I agree… but I will probably never truly enjoy spending time with an ISFP. My boyfriend is an ENTP and my sense of sanity in the world.)
As far as some personal information…
I rely on my Ti far too much and my Ne is unfortunately underdeveloped (although I’m currently working on improving). My Fe is regularly and brutally pulled out of me when I’m surrounded by other Fe types (which include most of my friends) so it is rather strong although I do prefer to repress my Fe. I am working at streamlining my Ti and Si (Tertiary being the memory function) to improve my memory. I tend to remember concepts and visuals while forgetting the details. For example, I can tell you that there is a word for when politicians give their family favors over other people and get their families into office…. But I can’t tell you what it’s called.
But I don’t say all of this for idle verbalization… I what to know your thoughts on any of these subjects!
