That's it though. What exactly does best result mean?
I'm skeptical of this idea of becoming a balanced individual. It runs with theory but it appears to ignore all other functions. Can you truly claim that jack of all trades is definitely a better approach than specialization of one?
No, that's not really what I said. A jack of all trades would be all eight functions--that's not necessary. "Best result" means whatever you want it to mean--that you get what you need out of life.
You should balance the top two functions because:
--If you have no working E function (Ne, Se, Te or Fe) you cannot interact with the outer world,
--If you have no working I function (Ni, Si, Ti or Fi) you cannot stop and reconsider your options internally,
--If you have no working J function (Ti, Te, Fi or Fe) you are completely indecisive and can't make decisions on things or get anything done, and
--If you have no working P function (Ni, Ne, Si or Se) you are always stubborn, inflexible and incapable of taking in new information/reevaluating when necessary.
This makes a lot more sense when you throw out Keirsey's temperaments and consider temperaments in terms of EP, IP, EJ and IJ (or just ignore temperaments entirely, if that helps.)
You see, INFJ and ENFJ are simply two sides of the same person. It's a bad idea to simply decide you don't need the auxiliary function because that will burden you with two of the four problems listed above--the two primary functions are supposed to coordinate and balance each other out.
I wrote the above comment because of the constant "Over developed Ni = Underdeveloped Fe" idea that kept being pushed forward. You might not have intended as such, but it's coming across as a rule rather than a general correlation.
In that case, I'd suggest interpreting it as the general correlation that it obviously is, as is everything within typology. No offense, but it's
always Sensors who make this interpretive mistake, and I just don't really bother fixing my wording to appease them anymore. I don't understand why some people feel it necessary to point out things like this, as if everyone doesn't already know--like the guy who shows up in religion/philosophy debates with "WELL GUYS JUST REMEMBER ALL OF THIS IS JUST YOUR OPINION AND IT ISN'T FACT!"--wow, REALLY? THANKS!
