If the Functions were Tools and Weapons . . .

[Savage Idealist]

. . . which ones would they be?

My first guess would be that Te is a hammer; smashing down flaws in logic like weak, brittle objects.

Ni would be a telescope, forseeing the future and what lays beyond.

So what do you thinks the other functions would be?

Ti- Scalpel
Fi- Scales

Si- Map

The shadow archetypes can be thought of as weapons.

Opposing and Witch (shadows of dom./aux) are like a sharp weapon.
Trickster and Demon (shadows of tertiary and inferior) are like a blunt weapon, to finish the enemy off.

So any function then can be a weapon, if it is shadow.

Overall, the whole thing can be seen as:

1/2: ♦ diamonds: the ego's most cherished goals
3/4: ♥ hearts: the vulnerable, innocent area
5/6: â™  spades (sharp weapon)
7/8: ♣ clubs (blunt weapon)
