In this video he talks as if using a function that goes against your natural function, can be done but drains you. Would it not be possible then to figure out your functions, by determining what activities leave you drained? Or am I grasping this wrong?
theoretically, yes, but be careful of confounding variables. there may be reasons certain activities drain you more that have nothing to do with cognitive functions.
i think of functions as "thinking patterns"... ways of thought that come most naturally to you.
like this:
Ne - exploring and connecting concepts, moving outwards towards a bigger and bigger picture
Se - reading environmental cues and making an impact in a situations, oneness with the present
Ni - reducing concepts to a singular uniting principle/archetype that explains and predicts patterns
Si - linking back and comparing/contrasting of experiences, creating a database of facts
Fe - high awareness of interpersonal issues, energy between people and systems
Fi - high awareness of intrapersonal issues, energy within people and systems
Te - high awareness of external logic, order and organization, expediting things
Ti - high awareness of internal logical system fidelity, how to make the ideal system
from your posts, i think perhaps you are an enneagram 6w5 INTJ. you do not speak like an INTP, and you are quite sure of your T over F.
