So this is something that I think could make for interesting discussion.
I understand that your Dominant function naturally displaces your 8th function to an unconscious realm in your psyche.
Similarly, your Auxiliary would displace your 7th function. Thus, accessing consciously either the 7th or 8th functions might be an awkward task. Even if it is possible to develop either of those functions, I believe the conscious use of them would be generally uncomfortable.
The 5th function, in my understanding, is somewhat displaced by the Inferior. While I think the 5th function can be accessed consciously, I believe we naturally have a focus on the Inferior that can make us prone to ignoring our 5th function.
As for our Tertiary and the 6th function, I think it's best to leave that open for discussion.
An interesting thing to mention here is that our brains seem to naturally need to limit conscious focus in order to organize information more effectively. By segregating data in the conscious realm from data in the unconscious realm, the brain might have an easier time making sense of data.
BTW, I think variations in learning style might also be in line with this apparent nature of the brain towards specialization.
(I don't know to what extent it has been proven scientifically that the human brain specializes and/or limits conscious focus)
Thoughts?
