Neurotransmitters and Cognitive Functions (hypothesis)

I have a hypothesis regarding neurotransmitters and cognitive functions.

The hypothesis basically states that each of the neurotransmitters of dopamine, serotonin, glutamate and GABA are connected to the use of different cognitive functions.

The connection is as follows:

Dopamine: extroverted perception, Ne and Se
Serotonin: extroverted judgment, Fe and Te
Glutamate: introverted perception, Ni and Si
GABA: introverted judgment, Fi and Ti


An easy preliminary test for this, if we have the data for it, is to determine if there are two classes of each neurotransmitter such that high levels of one indicate low levels of the other. For instance, if ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate levels are anti-correlated when measured in people, then this would provide supporting evidence for my hypothesis.

If you have a decent knowledge of the effects of neurotransmitters, do you think my hypothesis is reasonable?
