cognitive functions

This is just a very interesting observation I made from last night's Muay Thai sessions. So it was the first time I started learning how to clinch (basically stand-up grappling) and I was essentially thrown into the deep end. The truth is, I HATED it. But I hated it specifically for one reason...

I consider myself challenged to write everything that is hard to explain. Ni is not exception to this. I think i have it, but even if i don't have it as dom, i'm temped to share what (i think) are my observations so far. Note that most things i say are based on myself. To me saying that Ni is...

It would be interesting to hear other types hereabouts (ENTJs, INTPs, ENTPs—you know who you are?) describe how they develop their cognitive functions too. I am interested in what activities you engage in to develop the four functions. To illustrate: Ni ~ Introverted Intuition: This probably...

I have to apologise in advance for my crappy Fe in the formulation of this initial post, but I am left with no other choice. I have been working on BBC's Sherlock for about a year now, longer even, if you count the years since the series started where I got to know and learn about the main...

People of all types enjoy reading a book, watching telly, playing video games or pursuing other recreational activities in their down time. Though this thread is inspired by the example of watching telly, I suppose that it will vary across types and activity. My question is this: which functions...

Yesterday, I did the keys2cognition.com cognitive function test. I'm not sure how accurate my answers were given or evaluated, specifically because the pool of questions was so small. Anyway, just as an example I'm posting a screenshot I made of my results. Some of them were very surprising to...

I'm pretty sure that based on the order of functions that I am an INFJ especially pertaining to how I have always had insight into future events and people which I could rarely explain and would always astonish others.... However, I sometimes get confused and wonder if I'm actually an INFP, and...

Okay, I have a theory. (Being infj, I feel like this is already fact because it feels right to me, but I still want to discuss it) So, as we know the INFJ functions are as follows: Ni Fe Ti Se So that means the shadow functions are those of the ENFP: Ne Fi Te Si I have been diagnosed...

Has anyone wondered why we develop the personality that we do? For example, I am INFJ (Ni Fe Ti Se). My mother has strong Fe (ESFJ) and my father has strong Ti (INTP). Is this why I am INFJ rather than say INTJ? What I am asking is basically why did I develop this personality, and in what ways...

In Socionics, there is a concept of contrary relations also known as extinguishment relations. The idea is that someone with the same function order with opposing polarity in each function is a type we are less naturally suited to get along well with. On a case by case basis, this can be...
