8 Cognitive Functions of Personality Type
Your Super Power in Personality Type
As defined by Myers-Briggs, there are 16 Personality Type. Of those 16 types, there are 8 dominant functions. Everyone uses all 8 functions but our type determines our ability to use each function. Two will serve as our strengths & two will serve as our weaknesses or blind spots. The remaining 4 are our “Shadow Functions”, in our unconscious, and are often displayed during stress. All 8 functions are equally valuable.
Eight cognitive Functions
- Extraverted Sensing (SE)
- Introverted Sensing (SI)
- Extraverted Intuition (NE)
- Introverted Intuition (NI)
- Extraverted Thinking (TE)
- Introverted Thinking (TI)
- Extraverted Feeling (FE)
- Introverted Feeling (FI)
Everyone has one favorite function among the four mental functions (S, N, T or F)
Everyone uses that favorite function in their favorite (Extraverted or Introverted) world.
This is what determines our Dominant Function
