Type and archetype

[Architect]

Since there's been some interest in the functions recently it's worth reading Beebe's thoughts

Type and archetype; The Spine and its Shadow

The first observation is that in the course of our lives, we each actually make use of all the function-attitudes ... The second observation is that these function attitudes, though having typical characteristics that 86 years of type research have repeatedly verified, are not expressed in the same way by every individual who deploys them. There is a normal variation, not only in the strength and reliability of the functions, according to the degree of preference and practice that the individual will bring to the expression of each type of consciousness, but also in the role the individual enters when expressing a particular consciousness.
