Imagine adding Me and Mi (motion) to the list of function attitudes.
Me = extraverted motion
Mi = introverted motion
This would be added to Fe, Fi, Te, Ti, Se, Si, Ne, and Ni.
The motion center comes from the Enneagram. The enneagram has three centers: Thinking, Feeling, and Motion. Or Movement, or Instinct.
Enneagram Types
Thinking Center: 5,6,7
Motion Center: 8,9,1
Feeling Center: 2,3,4
So what if we made 'motion' or 'movement' into another Jungian function? Introverted and extraverted movement. What would that be? What would someone be doing if they were using introverted motion or extraverted motion?
The Jungian functions seem to be all about just sitting there thinking and feeling things inside your head. It seems very passive. So you could add the 'doing' function to describe how we 'do' things and how our actions connect with our other Jungian functions.
How many types would there be if we added that to the list of functions? It looks like there would be 20 types instead of 16.
But that's not necessarily the answer. It might be more complicated than that, depending on what the motion center is and how it interacts with the other functions. What I mean is, 'P' and 'J' are part of your Myers-Briggs type, but they're not in that list of functions. Lol, you don't just take every letter of your Myers-Briggs type and then add either e or i after it: Ee (extraverted extraversion), Ei (introverted extraversion, lol), Pe, Pi, and so on. Those letters mean something else having to do with the other letters. So it could be confusing if you try to add Me or Mi in there when actually they might be 'implied' somehow by the other functions. Me and Mi might not be a 'function.'
I have a feeling that this is something only a clueless newbie would think of. Still, it would be interesting to add 'motion' and see what happens to the types.
