The ENFJ’s inferior function (Ti) may only be noticed when they are under stress or in the problems they deal with often, especially considering the inferior function is often the opposite of the dominant function. That said, they may not be inclined to truly break outside their comfort zone with extreme sports or dangerous destinations. They are also usually comfortable in the physical world, probably enjoy working out and traveling, and value being seen as a stylish and trendy person (Se). But they are also wise, highly planed, and constantly working toward a higher goal (auxiliary Ni). That's unsurprising given it’s the characteristic element of their personality (dominant Fe). ENFJ: Fe > Ni > Se > TiĮNFJ is warm, empathetic and inviting, able to make friends with just about anyone. To do this, we consider the four cognitive functions that correspond to the respective personality type in order to get a deeper understanding. Say we’re analyzing the ENFJ’s personality. To take a closer look, let’s break down what this means for just one of the types. Let’s look at the types and their functions. The fourth function is your inferior function, which is challenging to access and often only comes out under stress. The third function is the tertiary function, which may be slightly under-developed, but does start to manifest in your type more prominently as you age. The second function is called the auxiliary function, which assists the dominant function in conveying ideas and is also relatively strong in your personality. The first function in the stack is called the dominant function, the strongest one you use so often, you may not even realize you are doing it. Each type has four functions, ordered in a stack from strongest to weakest. Now that we're clear about the eight MBTI functions, we can better understand how they correspond to each of the 16 Myers-Briggs personality types. Understanding the MBTI functions as the 16 types There are eight total MBTI cognitive functions let’s break down what makes up each below. These eight functions are critical to understanding how you operate in the world, and are worth knowing as a tool to help you delve deeper into how you and anyone else ticks. Using descriptions of the MBTI cognitive functions is also how I’ve learned to get a sense of people in real life, without them needing to take the personality test first. Psychologist Carl Jung (essentially the father of typology) talked a lot about the cognitive functions, which Katherine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers then utilized to create the MBTI system we use today. Did you know you also have four key MBTI functions that correspond to your type? But these traits only tell part of the story. When most people hear "Myers-Briggs," they think of the personality test, and the four letters associated with their resulting personality type: introverted (I) or extroverted (E), intuitive (N) or sensing (S), thinking (T) or feeling (F), and judging (J) or perceiving (P).
