SCENARIO 1
FOCUS ON YOUR FEELING PROCESS HERE
Your significant other just ended your 2 year relationship quite suddenly and with no apparent explanation. Up until this point you had both been talking about marriage and last week you even went to look at rings together. Now he/she won't even return your phone calls or texts. After talking with his/her family you find out that he/she has just been diagnosed with terminal stage 4 cancer.
- Describe how this scenario would make you feel as well as what sort of influences and motivations lie behind those feelings. Why do you feel the way you do?
- In this scenario what would you honestly say the primary focus of your feelings would be?
I would be shocked that they felt they couldn't tell me this and thought they had to just leave instead. I would of thought that after all that time together that they would know me better. Even if we would have to postpone the wedding, I would still want to be there for them when they go through treatmemts. I guess they figured they'd be a burden, or simply that their life was coming to an end soon, and our future together would be over. I would want them to know that I want them to fight it, and there's a chance they can beat the cancer. If they do want space, I would be fine with that. I just would have wanted them to be upfront about what was going on, instead of just fleeing out of nowhere, leaving me confused.
SCENARIO 2
FOCUS ON YOUR FEELING PROCESS HERE
You are in college and this semester both you and your roommate end up in the same class together. You and your roommate get along fairly well and the living situation works but you aren't particularly close. You both typically do your own thing and are rather indifferent to each other. As the semester progresses you excel and become one of the top students in the class whereas your roommate is struggling significantly to grasp the material. The professor assigns a fairly challenging take home test that is a significant portion of your grade. He/she makes it clear that while it is open book, students are to work alone. Later your roommate comes to you begging for help after struggling with the test most of the weekend. You have already completed the assignment and he/she isn't asking to copy your answers, just to help tutor and mentor them as they struggle to complete the test, so there is no way your professor would ever know. However, this is the first time your room-mate has asked you for help this semester. He/she makes it clear that how they do on this test could mean the difference between passing and failing this class.
- How do you respond to your roommate’s request and why?
- What sort of things in this scenario stand out to you as far as having a strong influence on your decision making and why?
- Describe the flow of your decision making process.
I would help. I mean, if I didn't, they'd probably just have to take the class over again anyway, which I think would be a huge waste of their time. I'm guessing it wouldn't be much of an inconvenience for me, if I'm grasping the material well. At least they realize their shortcomings, although next time they should ask someone for help sooner, so they don't find themselves in this position. I don't mind helping them learn the material, as long as they are putting in an effort and not copying my work. What the teacher doesn't know won't hurt them. "Teachers call it cheating, we call it teamwork."
SCENARIO 3
FOCUS ON YOUR LOGIC AND THINKING PROCESS HERE
Your boss calls you into his/her office in order to assign you to a new project. He/she gives you a choice between two.
Project 1 is a rather broad, expansive project covering multiple areas of company operations. It has the potential to have a very significant impact on company operations but it would require a collective effort and an extensive amount of group work where you would be logically thinking through the project together with the group of individuals your boss has also assigned to it.
Project 2 has a much more specific and narrow focus and would require a significant amount of in depth individual analysis to work through the problem. You would be working alone and the completion of the project may or may not have much impact on company operations. However, after complete the process and problem you were working on will be streamlined and fundamentally understood.
- Which project appeals to you the most, as it relates to the way you prefer to logically process information? Why?
- What sort of things in this scenario, across either project, stood out to you as having a strong influence on your decision? Why?
Project 2. I prefer to work alone, as opposed to working in a group. I think I'm more productive that way. It causes less arguments and confusion, and it is easier for me to think things through. I find it interesting to research things for the knowledge of understanding, so it wouldn't be straining for me. I would be glad to know that there would no longer be any confusion around the subject.
SCENARIO 4
FOCUS ON YOUR LOGIC AND THINKING PROCESS HERE
Your college professor has assigned you to a group project with 3 other individuals. All 3 of these individuals have a good strong work ethic and desire to contribute to the overall success of this project. You are at the first meeting of your group and the other members are tossing around valuable ideas as to the nature and direction of this project.
- Describe your behavior in this situation as you process and think about the ideas they are presenting.
- Describe what major influences drive this behavior.
I would be happy that I have such a good group to work with. I would probably be more on the quiet side, since I would be listening to all the different things they are saying and trying to decide which ones are the most useful and are something we could accomplish. I would restate the ones I feel are good suggestions, maybe offer some thoughts of my own on how we could do it, and ask where we want to begin.
SCENARIO 5
FOCUS ON THE SOURCES YOU DRAW NON-PHYSICAL ENERGY FROM HERE
It has been a very long week and you feel mentally and emotionally drained, but good news! It is Saturday and you have nothing significant that needs to be done. You FINALLY have some free time to yourself to recharge your batteries and do whatever you want.
- Describe what sort of activities would help you to recharge. What would you enjoy doing after a long week and why?
- What sort of things do you feel you draw non-physical energy from doing?
I would definitely want to watch some TV. It would feel so good to just lay down and do nothing, while I watch some shows. It would be nice to hang with my one of my friends, maybe get some food, possibly have some drinks, maybe take a walk, and just be able to chill.
SCENARIO 6
FOCUS ON THINKING VS FEELING HERE
You have a meeting with your college career counselor to discuss potential careers that interest you. He/she offers you a list of the following careers and asks you to pick your TOP 3. He/she asks you to take money out of the equation. Imagine all of these careers received equal compensation. Focus instead on where you would truly feel most happy and fulfilled.
Artist, Scientist, Actor, Engineer, Musician, Lawyer, Counselor, Entrepreneur, Teacher, Manager, Psychologist, Computer Programmer / Analyst, Clergy, Child Care, Medical Doctor
- What were your top 3 choices and what aspects of these careers appeal to you?
- Was it difficult or easy to pick only 3 and why?
- Prioritize the aspects of your career choices that influenced your decision, what things mattered most to you, where do you imagine finding the most fulfillment and why?
Musician, entrepreneur, teacher. It was pretty easy for me to pick. These were the only ones I could really picture myself as. I play guitar already, I can read music well, and I write song lyrics from time to time, so I thought musician wouldn't be much of a stretch and would be something I would enjoy. Entrepreneur interests me, because I could be my own boss and run my own business. I also chose teacher, because I get to extend my knowledge to other people and do it in the manner that I choose.

I don't know. From my understanding of Fi, I'm not sure the function applies too much to me. Did you see any evidence of Te, in my responses, to back this up?
That is, if you're willing and able.
