Anonymous asked: Many forums have much better (clearer, more exact, or easier to understand) definitions/descriptions of the functions than the common websites that will pop up with a quick search of cognitive functions. I know the MBTI tag frequently has scattered quoting/postings of these, but maybe since this blog is supposed to be somewhat of a directory you could compile a clean list?

Understanding The Model - MBTI Notation to Jungian...
The four letter types are a notation created by Myers to simplify the communication of a person’s temperament. It’s a lot easier to say “I’m an ISTP,” than “My temperament is dominant introverted Thinking, auxiliary (or secondary) extraverted Sensing, tertiary introverted Intuition and inferior extraverted Feeling.” In order to know what functions are associated with each type, it’s...

Type parings with similar functions and/or compliment functions with supplementary levels of dominance will have a higher likelihood of compatibility than type parings that do not.

Shifting From MBTI to JCF: Why?
So the staff has requested that I write out the full case for abandoning the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and moving forward into a typology approach centered primarily around Jungian Cognitive Functions (or JCF, as we have recently—and affectionately—taken to calling it.)
1) Changes in the meaning and interpretation of MBTI type codes:

FAQ - “Does your type change over time?”
Our functions are set for life. People develop, grow and adjust, but they do not fundamentally change. In other words, your type is fixed. It is suspected your temperament may be set in stone as early as 2 years of age.
Contemporary evidence in neuroscience and research on subjects like Phineas Gage seem to suggest that our temperaments primarily result from brain anatomy. Alter the brain’s...

Introducing Jungian Analytical Psychology
Starting on 02/12/2012, Jungian A.P. will be your final destination for questions, queries, and quagmires about Psychological Type and how we are all “individually different” in the same ways.
