1) Get a general idea and understanding of the big picture and then proceed to formulate a plan, to work towards it. Detailed planning followed by effective actions, loathes working without knowing what it's building up to. (Compression)

2) Details matter first, collect as much information as possible, start taking small steps and actions, then using all those details, the user finally see's the bigger picture. (Expansion)

3) The user reflects and looks at the problem, locates the key issue (usually lack of a certain action/ proper implementation and planning) and proceeds to move on ahead, while remembering to correct that mistakes. (not self-critical, but looks at the problem as an isolated, detached, issue. Detached from the inner self sort of event.)
To simplify, problem is external.

4) The user reflects and looks at the problem, locates key issue (not in implementation and planning (action) but in thought process and the individual's mindset towards the project. Attempts to change mindset before moving on. (self-critical)
To simplify, problem is internal.\



I would like to know which cognitive functions you would assign to each of the above situation. They are just 4 random examples. Do respond.

i have no idea which functions relate to these (focusing on functions doesn't interest me much)... i am an intp, and i perform all of those steps when addressing problem... well, that isn't precisely true... approach number two mentions taking small steps and actions... i only take physical/verbal action as a means to gather data, unless i feel i have allready found the solution (and have begun to implement it)...

i am not sure that this is helpful, but i thought it may be...

They're all introverted perceiving approaches, potentially either of them. The difference Ni and Si lies in the relative importance of certainty and potential. Si types lean more towards the most reliable path, Ni types are more likely to follow a path to big results, so long as they think it is viable. Functions don't dictate the level of detail you are describing. Knowing a persons type won't allow you to predict their methodology so precisely.

interesting

The first is Te. but cant really place as ENTJ, as it seems to miss the profound skill entjs have at situational adaptation.
The second sound TiNe, ie INTP or NiSe in an INTJ
The third sounds like NiTe, ie INTJ
The fourth sounds like Sorta like NeTi, ie ENTP or SeNi in an INTJ
