Wow; you're straight up TiTeNeNiSiSeFiFe (TNSF in order, alternating between attitude. This is acceptable, as it was conceived as i+TNSF anyway).

 

[JocktheMotie]

Wow; you're straight up TiTeNeNiSiSeFiFe (TNSF in order, alternating between attitude. This is acceptable, as it was conceives as i+TNSF anyway).

Haha, yeah, I need to track down my old scores and see if they were similar or how that has progressed, I don't know if it was always like that. I think my scores have changed as my functional understanding has changed. On PerC, I wrote this:

This makes sense, when you consider what functional stress relief really attempts to do: preserve the dominant orientation/perspective. This will usually occur during pressure from the 2nd and 4th functions, your functions of opposite orientation with respect to the dominant. In tertiary temptation with INTPs for example, negative experiences regarding the Ne perspective forces the mind into the Si perspective to preserve the introverted orientation to the world and "protects" Ti. When inferior Fe attempts to intrude on the mind and you go into shadow, your mind is trying to preserve your dominant worldview, which for ITPs is impersonal rationalism.

I've always had an interest in the shadow functions. I will always, always naturally prefer Ti to Te, Ne to Ni, for example, however I'm far more able to accept the Te and Ni perspective over either S and F perspective. But I'll never really naturally fall into those perspectives on my own.

The bolded, I think is important. For example, what's important to me and to my mind, is the "T" aspect of Ti, not so much the"i" and my cog processes test reflects that down the line. I prioritize intuitive perception over sensory perception, regardless of orientation, and consider any kind of feeling evaluation a last resort or something to be avoided.

Summary Analysis of Profile
By focusing on the strongest configuration of cognitive processes, your pattern of responses most closely matches individuals of this type: INFP

Lead (Dominant) Process
Introverted Feeling (Fi): Staying true to who you really are. Paying close attention to your personal identity, values and beliefs. Checking with your conscience. Choosing behavior congruent with what is important to you.

Support (Auxilliary) Process
Extraverted Intuiting (Ne): Exploring the emerging patterns. Wondering about patterns of interaction across various situations. Checking what hypotheses and meanings fit best. Trusting what emerges as you shift a situation’s dynamics.

If these cognitive processes don't fit well then consider these types: ENFP, or INTP

I use both Ti and Fi to make decisions, but I'm 90% sure I'm INTP, though for a while I was torn between the two. It's amusing to see the large dichotomy between the two feeling functions when many NTs seem relectant to use feeling functions in general, whereas here the orientation of the function makes all the difference.

Summary Analysis of Profile
By focusing on the strongest configuration of cognitive processes, your pattern of responses most closely matches individuals of this type: INTJ

Lead (Dominant) Process
Introverted Intuiting (Ni): Transforming with a meta-perspective. Withdrawing from the world and focusing your mind to receive an insight or realization. Checking if synergy results. Trying out a realization to transform things.

Support (Auxilliary) Process
Extraverted Thinking (Te): Measuring and constructing for progress. Making decisions objectively based on evidence and measures. Checking if things function properly. Applying a procedure to control events and complete goals.

If these cognitive processes don't fit well then consider these types: ENTJ, or INFJ

-----
Figures I'd get this. Strange though, cos I interact with people with warmth, but I think I got lower Fe scores because I tend not to impose myself upon others to take care of them, unless they need it, and I don't do a lot of hosting parties and things. I think that higher Te scores could also be due to a science academic background. But if I think of how I was as a child, before the science coursework, I tended to reach out to people more, so my underlying instinct is to be an INFJ, but my academic upbringing encouraged development of Te. I'm not going to rule out the possibility of being an INXJ though.

 

[KDude]

I think I'm going to get INTP on this test most of the time. I could do with a similar test, but slightly different questions. I believe it's being revised here, but it's not out yet.

Your Cognitive Development Profile
The forty-eight questions you rated earlier tap into the eight cognitive processes. Some questions tapped into basic or developed use of a process used by itself, while other questions tapped into use of multiple processes at once. The profile below is based on your responses. The number of squares indicate strength of response. The equivalent numeric is shown in parentheses along with likely level of development.

Say what?!

Given my knowledge of typology, this test was tricky because I had to make myself forget the things I knew in order to test correctly rather than deliberately. I really slowed myself down and asked myself is this true?

Okay, so my afterthoughts. 1) I expected my Se to be higher. 2) I expected my Fi and Ne to be MUCH lower. 3) My Te has been suggested to be higher than I thought by more than one Te user on this forum, so I can accept those results. 4) Ni, Fe, and Ti are what I expected.

I consider myself a very principled and open-minded person. Did I possibly misinterpret Fi/Ne questions based on these tendencies or am I really using these skills more than I think? /boggle

 

[Eric B]

Actually, on this test, the inferior often comes out very weak, if not weakest ("unused").

Also, there are what as known as Forer effects with Fi, in the test, because it is defined as "knowing what you want for yourself", but really any type can identify with that. So it seems everyone scores high on that. (There's even a site out there, based on these definitions, that claims FJ children have trouble knowing what they want to ask from Santa!)

Also, since you're dominant Ni, then its "shadow", Ne is also "backup" to the dominant, and will likely be strong. Like dom. Ne's will often have strong Ni.

I really think the Fi and Ne, (esp. the Fi) are phrasing/parameters issues. I doubt they're that strong.
