MBTI is as powerful as
the power you give
it.
There are no better
bad/wrong types, only
differences.
Use it to calibrate with
others better to
find common ground.
They do not predict
behaviour, skills or
abilities.

BY PEOPLE AT DIFFERENT TIMES, BUT ONE IS USUALLY

55. Se
extra
verted
sensing
Extraverted
Sensing is the
strong awareness
of the physical
world. We enjoy
the thrill of
actions and
impulses in the
present moment.
We act on our
experiences imm
ediately. We
experience the
sights, sounds
and smells of the
world around us
to our fullest
extent.
56. Si
intro
verted
sensing
Introverted Sensing is the
storing of data and then
the comparison of that
data with
other experiences. For
example, when we see a
movie that reminds us of
another similar movie. Or
when we see a person
that reminds us of
someone else. We also
use past experiences to
learn how to handle
similar current
situations. There is great
attention to detail with
Introverted Sensing.
57. Ne
extra
verted
INTUITION
Extraverted Intuiting
involves seeing all
possibilites of a
subject
and believing that
each one has a
possibility of being
true. We can juggle
many ideas at once,
and find that this
cognitive function
makes it easy and
enjoyable to
brainstorm. This also
involves expression of
our hunches and
perspectives on our
environment.
Extraverted Intuiting
involves coming to
conclusions about
ideas from one major
idea.
58. Ni
INTRO
verted
INTUITION
This function allows a
person to gain a sense
about the future by
processing data through
impressions and
meanings. We find
ourselves discovering
how the future will be
by signs, trends, and
patterns. We will find
relationships between
many ideas, and find
ideas similar to those
ideas in order to look for
a main idea that is
made up of these
smaller ideas. These
ideas and similar ideas
come to one main idea
that will turn out to be
true and give the sense
of an "Aha!" moment.
59. Te
extra
verted
THINKING
Extraverted thinking
helps to create order
out of chaos. They
organize the
environment through
charts, graphs, outlines,
etc. It allows us to pick
out what is necessary
and figures out the most
efficient way to
complete an objective.
Extraverted Thinkers
love a challenge
because it attests to
their skills. They will
almost always follow
through with a project.
60. Ti
intro
verted
thinking
Introverted Thinking
finds ways to express an
idea that is to the point
and concise. We
analyze, categorize,
and evaluate to figure
out whether something
fits into the larger
framework. We figure
out the precise problem
of an idea or concept
and then work to fix it.
We often are checking
for inconsistencies in
the world, and we often
take things apart to
understand how it
works. We use models
to see how things
should be, and look at
both sides of issues to
determine
inconsistencies.
61. Fe
extra
verted
feeling
Extraverted Feeling
involves considering
other peoples feelings to
a great level. We often
try to help everyone get
along, and we may often
disclose our own feelings
and take on others' as
our own. We like to
determine what will work
best for the group in
order to honor and
consider everyones
values and feelings. We
accomodate ourselves
and others by deciding
what is appropriate and
acceptable in that setting.
We often use social
graces by being polite,
considerate, and
appropriate. We often
respond to people's
expressed or unexpressed
wants or desires.
62. Fi
intro
verted
feeling
Introverted Feeling
acts as a filter- it
often is considering
the worth of
something based on
the truth in which it is
based. We decide
whether something
is worth standing up
for based on its
truth and
significance. We
often have feelings of
a persons essence
and this helps us to
determine
if something is fake
or true. Introverted
Feeling is often
expressed through
actions and feelings
rather than words.
