This has been bothering me for ages.
If types outline what cognitive processes we're more inclined towards, how susceptible to moods are our preferences for these processes? I've read that types are difficult to change but if, for example, an ENFP would only need to switch his dominant and auxilliary preferences to become an INFP, couldn't he do so more or less at will or depending on how he's feeling?
(I'm sorry if this is a really stupid question or it doesn't make much sense. I'm not too clear on cognitive processes or why they're so distinct nor on the fixed nature of types.)
In any case, what do you think? Thank you in advance.
