Damn girl why you gotta be hatin'. That ain't Fe like. It's hard enough for a brother gettin' your cell phone jacked every other week.

:laugh: or how about at least some sense of not behaving like I'm the first female you've ever seen :devil:

I only like men who can display a reasonable sense of Fe

Oh, that means you want me to scream profanity at you in the middle of The Ritz Carlton's lobby.
Three cheers for well-developed Fe! :cheers:

I don't disagree. In fact, I wholeheartedly agree, even, especially in my case. But most people don't even *know* why they are motivated to keep things in order or do what the boss says. It's just how it's done, that's all they know. As long as someone tells them to do something, they will still do it, if it gets them security and something to do. Fi *is* useless, in that respect, at least to them. They use a sliver of it and don't even know it. So..when it comes down to getting things done and accomplished in life...Fi isn't the most useful thing to have around as you need the bare minimum, it would appear to get things done. Not the case with the other functions.

True. But none the less it is a vital function.

of course Fe is needed. without Fe, how could there be social norms? we need some kind of social norms.

Hmm...I don't think it's wise to argue which functions are better than others, but I will enjoy any ensuing slaughter that might take place as a result of the discussion :popc1:

There is a very obvious hierarchy of functions from best to worst, it goes like this:

Fi
Se
Ni
Te
Fe
Si
Ne
Ti

If you don't agree you're in denial.

If this thread were a sound, it would be the plopping of a piece of shit in the toilet.

It felt good for a while, but now it's over, and our asses are all wet because of it.

What does it say about you that that is the best post you've ever written here? :laugh:


And, Jag, it bothers me that your pic is missing something..........Can you fix that?

I dont think so. I think all functions depend on each other (as I touched on in the "feeling thinking differenting"thread)

Without feeling functions, we would have no will. We would be apatethic, not caring wheter we died or not.

Without thinking functions, we might have had alot of desires and stuff, but we'd have no means to act on them. It'd be like being hungry without knowing how to acquire food.

Without intuitive functions, we'd only know the details with no means to make sense of them.

Without sensing functions, we'd be lost from the real world. I guess.

Thing is, I see all functions as depending on each other and as equally important, without one we'd not be able to live at all. Even animals have all functions (f-motives,t-means,s-sensing,n-connections). But we have personality preference, meaning we tend to focus and excel at one or two of them.

On the introverted-extroverted scale, I also see them both as important. Extrovert is mainly associated with action, while introverted with reflection. Both definately needed.

Speculative, perhaps, but this is how I make sense of jungian functions.
