Symbol Thinking: Mapping Jungian Archetypes on Cognitive Processes
The website owner kindly provides a summary of Beebe's four-day workshop explaining what each process looks like in each position (8x8=64 possible combinations). I have looked at my own (INFJ) function/archetypes in this light and found some truths here.
For example, I do tend to use my fifth "oppositional" Ne function to punch holes in other people's proposals or ideas. This is a trait I have known about for some time and try to keep under control, as it can be very discouraging for others.
As for my 8th "Demonic" function (Si): I speculated several years ago that this function could cause me to "forget" things at inconvenient times (such as when I introduced my mother to my new boss and forgot her name!). So it was quite fascinating to read the same suggestion here. |
That link is kind of amazing. A lot of the phrases were too vague for me to understand, but one of them (the witch/senex for Ne) really struck me: "I accept it, but please shut up!" That's exactly how I react when I lose an argument. To the T. It blew my mind.
Oh, and I also have Si, and I was also struck by the "demonic" function - not by the forgetting things part (even though that's true
), but by the "hallucinations" part. I'll THINK I forgot someone's name (even if I didn't), and I'll get really uncertain about it, even when I've known them for a long time, thinking that I just imagined that that was their name. That may sound kind of weird, but there you go.
EDIT: I also punch holes in people's ideas... People often call me a bubble-burster...
