Tertiary
Inferior

If Thomson's development pattern is right that may be why you have more problems with your inferior. Personally, I think I'm aware of when I'm using Ti and although I can't access it on demand, I can see it at work in myself. The shadows I have not a clue about.
I think the development might be different for each person. I don't the system can be defined outside of itself. Although I would say that the patter of functional development for me feels more like:

Dominant
Auxiliary
Tertiary
Shadows (5,6,7,8)
Inferior

What do you think of that?
