Summary Analysis of Profile
By focusing on the strongest configuration of cognitive processes, your pattern of responses most closely matches individuals of this type: INTP

Lead (Dominant) Process
Introverted Thinking (Ti): Gaining leverage (influence) using a framework. Detaching to study a situation from different angles and fit it to a theory, framework or principle. Checking for accuracy. Using leverage to solve the problem.

Support (Auxilliary) Process
Extraverted Intuiting (Ne): Exploring the emerging patterns. Wondering about patterns of interaction across various situations. Checking what hypotheses and meanings fit best. Trusting what emerges as you shift a situation’s dynamics.

If these cognitive processes don't fit well then consider these types: ENTP, or INFP
Oh, my. This is probably the only time I've gotten the same results twice in a row. :popc1:

I've heard that if you score something like Ne>Ni>Ti>Te it's because your dominant shadow function is almost as developed as your dominant function in nearly every person, you just have a preference to Ne over Ni, so it is more "favored" and slightly more developed.

I've also heard specifically for this test that in cases like this, the type the test chooses is the most developed function as dom., and third most developed function as aux.

Cognitve Function Test...post your scores!

Keys 2 Cognition - Cognitive Processes This is the test I rate the highest...I'm sure many of you will have taken it before, but if so, post your results here just for fun anyway!

I'm especially curious to see how other INTJs will compare to me regarding this:

Hmm...I probably overrated myself greatly on the test questions, especially the N-related ones. I think in reality, the only function I have good use of is Fi, and everything else is average or limited. IMO a few of the statements didn't seem that specific to a particular function, like "I feel attracted to the symbolic, archetypal and mysterious."

Those are Ni questions, but they are phrased in a way that NFs, especially NFJs, would relate to a lot more than NTs.

I'm especially curious to see how other INTJs will compare to me regarding this

Dario Nardi's one of the leading cognitive functions guys, and his test (the one you've linked to) is arguably the most-linked-to cognitive functions test but, as further discussed in the spoiler, INTJs typically get high Ni scores and high Ne scores (with Ni not substantially favored over Ne), and high Te scores and high Ti scores (with Te not substantially favored over Ti), when they take Nardi's test — and INFJs often get Fi scores that are as high or higher than their Fe scores.


Here are the scores I posted in the long INTJforum thread analyzed in the spoiler:

extraverted Sensing (Se) ************* (13)
unused
introverted Sensing (Si) ***************************** (29.1)
average use
extraverted Intuiting (Ne) *********************** (23.9)
limited use
introverted Intuiting (Ni) ***************************** (29.9)
average use
extraverted Thinking (Te) ************************************************ (48.5)
excellent use
introverted Thinking (Ti) *********************************************** (47.1)
excellent use
extraverted Feeling (Fe) *************** (15.5)
unused
introverted Feeling (Fi) ******************************** (32.8)
good use

And here's a little more of what I had to say in that other thread about my results:

reckful said:
As is often the case with MBTI-related tests, I suspect these results understate my N preference because a number of the test items that I assume were N-correlated — e.g., "Experience a premonition or foresee the distant future," "Gain a profound realization from a mystical state or sudden release of emotions" and "Feel attracted to the symbolic, archetypal, or mysterious" — have a somewhat mystical/flaky flavor that make them more likely to apply to NFs and/or NPs than NTJs.

Since it sounds like you agree with me about Nardi's "mystical Ni" items, and since your own results (Fi-Ni-Ti-Si-Ne-Te-Fe-Se) are a long way from what Nardi's model says they should be, why do you say, "This is the test I rate the highest"—??

Your Cognitive Development Profile
The forty-eight questions you rated earlier tap into the eight cognitive processes. Some questions tapped into basic or developed use of a process used by itself, while other questions tapped into use of multiple processes at once. The profile below is based on your responses. The number of squares indicate strength of response. The equivalent numeric is shown in parentheses along with likely level of development.

Summary Analysis of Profile
By focusing on the strongest configuration of cognitive processes, your pattern of responses most closely matches individuals of this type: INFJ

Lead (Dominant) Process
Introverted Intuiting (Ni): Transforming with a meta-perspective. Withdrawing from the world and focusing your mind to receive an insight or realization. Checking if synergy results. Trying out a realization to transform things.

Support (Auxilliary) Process
Extraverted Feeling (Fe): Building trust through giving relationships. Empathically responding to others' needs and take on their needs and values as your own. Checking for respect and trust. Giving and receiving support to grow closer to people.

If these cognitive processes don't fit well then consider these types: ENFJ, or INFP

If these results are different from what you know of yourself, you might consider why your developmental pattern does not align with your expectation. You might also consider exploring this result as a possible better fit.

The Four Temperaments
Corresponding best-fit temperaments based on your profile: Catalyst; secondly Theorist; then Improviser; and lastly, Stabilizer.

I haven't come across many cognitive function tests, the other ones I have seen are from Similar Minds and Personality Cafe. Neither of those sites offer tests that I believe are precise enough. It's not that I particularly like this test, only that it's the best of those I've come across, which is not the same thing.

By the way, I am not entirely sure of what my type is, I am only 100% confident about I and N, I'd say 90% confident about J and 60% confident about T, so if anyone could help me out with those last two axes I am open. My Enneagram makes more sense for an INTJ than any other type, but all I know for sure is that I'm seriously introverted...

I think some of the Fe statements on the test apply more to xSFJs and ENFJs than to INFJs:
"Recognize and usually adhere to shared values, feelings, and social norms to get along."
"Help make people feel comfortable by engaging in hosting and care-taking." - especially this one
"Readily communicate personally to all members of a group to feel unity."

I think because INFJs' Fe is in service of / filtered through dominant Ni, it's used in a much more idiosyncratic way and can seem Fi-ish (especially with strongly introverted ones and/or e4s and e5s), which could explain why many INFJs tend to score higher on Fi than Fe on this test. Maybe there's something similar going on with INTJs and their high Ti scores.

Some negative numbers are more negative than others. At least they're not all negative.
