mbti/jungian personality types (poll: introverted types)

shanzeek wrote:How does one work on inferior Te? (Fi, Ne, Si, Te)

Te is working with objective facts. Fi is working with subjective values in what's best for you. At both ends they are in opposition to each other and the bottom is squelched or suppressed.

So an INFP would prefer to ignore the practical facts and indulge in fantasy as how things should be according to them, by that introverted feeling value they create.

They prefer not to bend around the facts and be subsumed by them.

INFJ: the complete opposite.

Yes. I'm INFP, but one not interested in bending around the facts, how does one improve their suppressed Te? By some sort of practice? I read inferior function becomes more dominant after the age of 30, and before that is almost nonexistant. (mid 20s)

Yeah, age works it out it like anything else. You could partner up with an ENTJ.

My wife has inferior Ne and it still is bad in middle age. I barely reflect on the past and I'm bad with bottom Si.

I just worry about what i can do.

That's interesting, my ex boyfriend is ENTJ and I was often accused of irrationality/over-emotionality, and I do see the change in me from before and after the rl.
Reflecting on the past comes from Si? It's all I do, either reflect on the past or future, I rarely live in the present, I find it boring even.

Si is using past impressions, and depending on the type it can go in different directions. If someone is of the sensing type, they have a tendency to stay with the "tried and true." My mother in-law is SJ and she stays in a comfortable zone of facts and nothing but the facts. The only future orientation is using history as an example.

In Idealist types, they see themselves in the future as what they could become, striving for the ideal. Not so with Feeling sensors.

One funny and interesting thing about SJ types is they sentimentally live in the past. They will keep dated things that belong in a museum because of memory lane thinking. Lol.

INTPs and INFPs also have a sentimental streak.

My dad is ISTP and my mother was ESFJ. Same with my sister in-law and her husband. Common pairing here.

No one in my family is NT or NF.

@EasyasPi, do you think there might be a connection between certain personality types and co-dependency? (besides other significant factors that predispose a person to it) Could this be in relation to Fi function?

And another question, do you think there's any relation between a child's and its parents' functions? Does one influence the other in any way?

INFJ

INTP

I did the test again recently and i get 50/50 between feelings and thinking and between S and N it gets so close that the test sugested to look 4 different personalities.

INTP is the leader here, yet it only occurs in about 3% of the general population. I wonder what the correlation is?
