Explain it to me in few words or sentences like I'm kind of slow.
This is pasted from
here, which is one of the better informational sites for this stuff, imho.
Fi: Until I understand it in terms of empathy and how it relates to a living need that I might have, I don't see how I can relate to it.
Fe: Until I can see where this fits into my network of tribal bonds and obligations, I don't see how I can relate to it. How can I tell if I'm for it or against it until I know how other people feel about it?
Ti: Until I understand the causal principle at work, in terms of mathematical relationships that necessitate it behaving the way it does, I don't see how I can relate to it. It would all be arbitrary, and any response I would make would be arbitrary.
Te: Until I can see how you would make an empirical test for what you're saying, I don't see how I can relate to it. Without a defined empirical test, all conclusions are subjective.
Si: Until I can find it on a map that I can carry around complete within myself, providing a set of things to look for and meanings that they correspond to, I don't see how I can relate to it.
Se: Until it triggers a gut-level response in me, I don't see how I can relate to it; and I don't see how I could relate to it in any way but with whatever gut-level response it triggers in me.
Ni: Until I can separate myself from its built-in interpretations and see it from the outside, in terms of a framework that is independent of everything about it, I refuse to relate to it. You can't make me look--at least, not your way.
Ne: If I can't broaden the context to see how it relates to something else and thereby gains a new meaning, then I refuse to relate to it. I'll just go do something else and then we'll see how important your little thing is.
And who has what functions? I know they are wrong on wiki or something so I'm always a leetle scared to look them up in case I get an incorrect website.
Or at least, what are mine!
Deriving functions from your type can be done in four easy steps:
1) Your middle two letters represent your two strongest functions, so for ENFP that'd be N and F.
2) S and N are called "Perceiving functions" and T and F are called "Judging functions." One of these will be introverted and the other extroverted. Note that P/J doesn't tell you which one is dominant; it tells you which one is
extroverted. So if you're an NFP, you use
N and
F primarily, with the
Perceiving function (N in this case) extroverted--therefore, Ne and Fi. (If you were an NF
J, the
Judging function F would be extroverted instead, so you would have Fe and Ni.)
3) Look at E/I to tell you which of the two (Ne or Fi for you) is dominant. So ENFP = dominant Ne and auxiliary Fi. (INFP would be dominant Fi and auxiliary Ne.)
4) The tertiary is always opposite the auxiliary and the inferior is always opposite the dominant. So Ne, Fi, Te, Si.
One more example: ISFJ
1)
S and
F are the two strongest functions.
2)
J tells us that the Judging function (T or F) is extroverted, so we know this person has Fe and Si.
3)
I tells us that the introverted one is dominant, so dominant Si and auxiliary Fe.
4) The opposite of Fe is Ti, and the opposite of Si is Ne, so the full function order for ISFJ goes Si, Fe, Ti, Ne.
Any questions?
