don't be surprised that me someone who is obsessed with archetypes is posting about mbti...but please buckle up for the post because it's a handful, and i'll make the post as easy as possible to understand!
♇ if you just want to support here is my paypal!
♇ anyways, [i'll be using sentences that i've learned as well] the mbti is used to understand yourself, the relationships your in along with your personal growth; the mbti is about your cognition which means your intelligence, how you process and understand information.
♇ people need to understand that the typology cannot predict how someone is going to consciously behave, for example, someone sees an intj and the first thing they think is that "omg that person is definitely going to be so emo".
♇ however, the mbti does predict the subconscious micro-expression [which means someone's true emotion] and body language. keep in mind, anyone can change behaviour, so yes, mbti's can change depending on the personal growth of someone, someone's mbti might fully form when they're like a middle aged adult, in my opinion.
♇ the mbti typology believes that we understand information in two ways, which are functions called ⬎
the judging and perceiving functions.
♇ the perceiving function ⟶ understanding information that is experienced first handedly by the person, and putting the information together afterwards.
♇ the judging function ⟶ understanding information without having to experience it first handedly, and putting the information together afterwards or even the same time they come in contact with the information.
♇ everyone judges information by a logical and a rational mindset, along with value based and a honest criteria which is involved with the four modes of cognition [intelligence] everyone has.
↳ and those four modes are:
♇ sensing, intuition, thinking or feeling, which can either be introverted or extroverted. every type has four of the functions [sensing, intuition, thinking or feeling] in descending order, meaning from strongest to weakest. which also refers to how much someone uses four of the functions they have; and the plethora of the descending combinations gives rise to the 16 types.
♇ let's begin with the perceiving functions ⬎
which include SE, SI, NE AND NI.
SE ⟶ extroverted sensing.
SI ⟶ introverted sensing.
NE ⟶ extroverted intuition.
NI ⟶ introverted intuition.
♇ beginning with the sensory functions [SE AND SI].
⟶ with SE which is the extroverted sensing.
⟶ extroverted sensing [SE] react to events first handedly, [like their own experience], before they believe or understand in something.
⟶ they see things as it is and don't overthink the answer in front of them. for example, they're the type to look at a maths question and think that all "solutions/problem solving" can lead to the same answer.
⟶ people with extroverted sensing are action-oriented and need to experience things themselves in order to understand it, like i have mentioned before.
⟶ onto with SI which is introverted sensing.
⟶ introverted sensing [SI] react to events as patterns they have seen before, for example, if someone has already seen two individuals who belong to loud and violent houses react to situations in a defensive way, and the [SI] individual meets another person who has the same background as the other two people they have communicated before and notice that the new individual behaves the same way. they'll understand that people from abusive households are normally protective over themselves out of trauma.
⟶ [SI] individuals build personal associations to data, they'll look at something like "this solution is bad" and "this solution is good" because of the outcomes they have seen or heard before; which is different than a [SE] native, who would rather want to interact with the solution before they come up with an answer. [SI] people who are selective and consistent; they only want information that is useful for them.
⟶ they're people who go by previous examples, and are likely people who can identify patterns in large source of information, and dont need first hand experience to know when something is true.
♇ now with the intuition functions [NE AND NI]
⟶ starting with NE which is extroverted intuition.
⟶ extroverted intuition [NE] are people who see countless of possibilities with their intuition, every probability or likelihood they see they will take it into account. they're the "anything is possible" group.
⟶ [NE] individuals see possible connections, which causes their work to grow more bigger and bigger as they're expansive people, like [SE], [NE] natives have no specific preferences they'd like to work on, and find every idea useful. these natives tend to be very action-oriented as well.
⟶ they are people who need to first handedly go through situations for them to make the dots/connections; which could sometimes not give them the upper hand when they're trying to solve something compared to an [SI] who will already make the patterns due to events they have read or heard before.
⟶ now onto NI which is introverted intuition.
⟶ introverted intuition [NI] are people who could be perceived as people who arent as expressive to situations openly, but will feel a lot on the inside. they're the type of people to form a logical concept from information that is relevant or they think is relevant.
⟶ like [SI] the [NI] individuals only see information or patterns that makes sense to them and and they do care about other people's thoughts and additional information within their research.
⟶ they're specific and are likely to understand things easily while finding further links and connections. they're reflective about the information they gather, so when they do receive details, they'll see if it makes sense or not.
⟶ people can either have SE & NI or SI & NE; it can never be "i have SE & SI or i have NI & NI".
information about perceiving functions finished.
♇ moving onto judging functions.
which includes TE, TI, FE AND FI. ⬎
TE ⟶ extroverted thinking.
TI ⟶ introverted thinking.
FE ⟶ extroverted feeling.
FI ⟶ introverted feeling.
♇ beginning with the thinking functions [TE AND TI]
⟶ with TE which is extroverted thinking
⟶ they're people who most likely focus on their own judgement, they will decide what makes sense to them and what doesnt make sense to them; what is logical and what is not, which will normally be based on their own experiences with the issue. they're focused on the end product, so they'll likely do the same thing to see if the outcome changes.
⟶ they think of ideas that are effective, and are objective to the route they're taking, they're people who like information that can be proven to them. if they can't see it, they wont believe it. it's their basic understanding of logic.
⟶ [TE] individuals can be considered as quite annoying because they normally don't listen until they have to go through a specific situation all the time/or go through much life lessons to understand what to or not to do.
⟶ with TI which is introverted thinking
⟶ [TI] individuals like to make everything make sense to them, which could be time consuming because for example, they would like to learn something so simple, will learn it, but during the process they would want to know every step, even the irrelevant steps which makes it time consuming.
⟶ they can only go forward in life when they do understand something, they're people who are likely to be anxious when they dont know information they think is relevant to them, compared to [TE] natives who wouldnt mind learning the details when they're going through a route.
⟶ [TI] people are considered less impactive than [TE] folks as they're people who only want to learn the depth of a topic and not other possibilities that can surround the topic.
⟶ onto FE which is extroverted feeling
⟶ [FE] natives judge on what they see on the outside, for example they're the type of people to judge people based on their appearance or based on their first impressions compared to other functions. they wouldnt really be like "oh i just need to know the depth of this person" if someone presents themselves as rude, the [FE] person will always think of the other person as insolent, no redemption.
⟶ people who have [FE] are usually those who are mainly like "it can only either be these two options" nothing else. they're normally like that when they experience something physically first and if their mind thinks something is negative they will always perceive that thing is negative while deeming the opposite thing of that instrument positive.
⟶ they're people who are clear about their intentions so other people can understand what they are striving for. could sometimes lead to them failing since people will always know what they're up to.
⟶ onto FI which is introverted feeling
⟶ [FI] people judge the weight of something after they deeply understand the matter. and when they understand the deepness to an information they decide what part of the information is useful for them.
⟶ like the [TI] system, [FI] is very specific and particular about everything, like they cant just go on with life knowing 2+2 equals 4, they'll need to understand why 2+2 equals 4.
⟶ evidently, they're people who take the time to understand something which can sometimes take it longer for them to understand a subject compared to other people but when they finally understand it, they become very efficient to the subject and find ways to simplify it for other people so everyone else can learn.
⟶ people can either have TE & FI or TI & FE; it can never be "i have TE & TI or i have FI & FE".
⟶ information about the judging function finished.
♇ SE AND NI ⟶ see the issue and would like to explore different possibilities of it or live through it.
♇ SI AND NE ⟶ see the issue and would rather focus on that single issue before they apply it to other things.
♇ TE AND FI ⟶ see the problem and would solve it with how other people might've solved it before, but would solve the problem with multiple tools they'll think that can work on the issue.
♇ TI AND FE ⟶ see the problem and would rather solve it with a tool that might've worked in other scenarios. wouldnt think to use other tools if they know the one they have right now is useful.
SO...WHAT MAKES AN MBTI...AN MBTI?
♇ the order of the functions i have mentioned: SE, SI, NE AND NI that belong to the thinking functions and TE, TI, FE AND FI that belong to the judging functions make the mbti!
♇ including what function is the strongest to what function is the weakest.
♇ the axis pairs will either be the first and fourth function or the second and third function.
⟶ SE AND NI being function pairs.
⟶ SI AND NE being function pairs.
⟶ TE AND FI being function pairs.
⟶ TI AND FE being function pairs.
♇ for example, let's use ISTP ⬎
↳ the first two functions determine the middle letters of the MBTI TYPE CODE.
♇ the functions within the ISTP TYPE CODE
♇ the TI AND SE within the ISTP function make up for the two missing middle letters in the type code: I _ _ P because they are the first two functions!
⟶ because TI is the _ _ T _ in ISTP because it is about introverted thinking.
⟶ and SE is the _ S _ _ in ISTP because it is about the extroverted sensing.
"but pluto what makes up for the first letter in the code?"
♇ good question! what makes up for the first letter in the code is the second letter in the strongest function and the strongest function for ISTP is TI and what is the second letter for TI? It's "I" which causes the function to now become from _ S T P to I S T P.
♇ if the TI was a TE it would commence the function to become E S T P.
"okay but what about the last letter in a type code?"
♇ you'll have to look back at the first extroverted function in the type code for your mbti, and for ISTP it is ⟶ TI SE NI FE. the first extroverted function in the type code is SE which means EXTROVERTED SENSING.
♇ SE belongs to the perceiving function which implies that the last letter for I S T _ will be I S T P.
♇ if the SE was replaced and FE was the first extroverted function for the type code, the type would have changed from I S T P to I S T J. because FE belongs to the judging function!
↳ lets use an extroverted mbti now.
♇ the functions within ENFJ TYPE CODE are ⬎
♇ the FE AND NI within the ENFJ function make up for the two missing middle letters in the type code: E _ _ J because they are the first two functions!
⟶ because FE is the _ _ F _ in ENFJ because it is about extroverted feeling.
⟶ and NI is the _ N _ _ in ENFJ because it is about the introverted sensing.
"but pluto what makes up for the first letter in the code?"
♇ good question! what makes up for the first letter in the code is the second letter in the strongest function and the strongest function for ENFJ is FE and what is the second letter for FE? It's "E" which causes the function to now become from _ N F J to E N F J.
♇ if the FE was a FI it would commence the function to become I N F J.
"okay but what about the last letter in a type code?"
♇ you'll have to look back at the first extroverted function in the type code for your mbti, and for ENFJ it is ⟶ FE SI NE TI. the first extroverted function in the type code is FE which means EXTROVERTED FEELING.
♇ FE belongs to the judging function which implies that the last letter for E N F _ will be E N F J.
♇ if the FE was replaced and NE was the first extroverted function for the type code, the type could have changed from ENFJ to ENFP. because NE belongs to the perceiving function!
♇ i hope this helped you guys understand how the myers briggs typology works even more! this is just me opening up before i post about the mbtis!
