Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 Online type quizzes only scratch the surface of personality assessment. They typically base their judgments on the most elementary type theory, which pits introverts against extroverts, intuitives against sensors, thinkers against feelers, and judgers against perceivers.
#2 The world is actually much more complicated than the categories of introvert and extrovert suggest. Personality type is a reflection of how you process information and reach decisions.
#3 The eight cognitive functions are: Introverted Intuition, Extroverted Intuition, Introverted Sensing, Extroverted Sensing, Introverted Feeling, Extroverted Feeling, Introverted Thinking, and Extroverted Thinking. We all prefer using one of our perceptive functions over the other.
#4 Extroverted intuition, or Ne, is our idea-generating function. It dwells primarily in the future and gains energy through the exploration of abstract ideas and future possibilities. It enjoys brainstorming, speculating, and connecting ideas to each other using abstract reasoning.

#1

online type quizzes only scratch the surface of personality assessment. They typically base their judgments on the most elementary type theory, which pits introverts against extroverts, intuitives against sensors, thinkers against feelers, and judgers against perceivers.

#2

The world is actually much more complicated than the categories of introvert and extrovert suggest. Personality type is a reflection of how you process information and reach decisions.

#3

The eight cognitive functions are: Introverted Intuition, Extroverted Intuition, Introverted Sensing, Extroverted Sensing, Introverted Feeling, Extroverted Feeling, Introverted Thinking, and Extroverted Thinking. We all prefer using one of our perceptive functions over the other.

#4

Extroverted intuition, or Ne, is our idea-generating function. It dwells primarily in the future and gains energy through the exploration of abstract ideas and future possibilities. It enjoys brainstorming, speculating, and connecting ideas to each other using abstract reasoning.

#5

Ne is the reason you start ten new projects for every one that you finish. It is the reason why you often contradict yourself in conversation because you genuinely see multiple sides to a situation.

#6

Introverted feeling is the primary decision-making function for ENFPs. It is an analytical function that seeks to discover universal truths about humanity, morality, and what it means to be alive. It looks at everything through a subjective lens and seeks to break down the experience of emotions to understand them on a core level.

#7

Fi is the reason why you need to withdraw and reflect on your feelings after a prolonged period of extroversion. It is the reason why you have to assign a deeper meaning to almost everything that happens to you.

#8

Extroverted thinking is our secondary decision-making function. It is all about imposing order on its external environment and is extremely efficient at executing plans that yield tangible, beneficial results. It takes a top-down approach to almost everything.

#9

Te is the reason you are good at achieving your goals, even if they are driven by pure emotion. Te is the reason why you argue with cold, detached logic when you're angry or worked up. Te is the reason why you have a hard time motivating yourself to do anything that you can't see the immediate benefit of.

#10

Introverted sensing is the last function in the ENFP’s stack, and it is their inferior function. It is focused on routine, tradition, and integrating past experiences into the present. It places a high level of trust in authority, institutions, and societal norms.

#11

Underdeveloped Si is the reason why you are impatient with social norms and resentful of The man. Underdeveloped Si is the reason why you don’t want to lead a traditional life. Healthy Si is the reason why you are able to follow through on your goals and projects even once they’ve grown boring.

#12

The ENFP’s functions are Extroverted intuition, Extroverted thinking, and Introverted feeling. Their first function, extroverted intuition, is like the pool water. It’s everywhere and you can’t make it go away, but you can temporarily ignore it. Your tertiary and inferior functions are like the ladder or the waterslide.

#13

The ENFP’s dominant functions are extroverted intuition and introverted feeling. They are independent of each other, and they interact with each other and with the other two judging functions, but they are still largely independent.

#14

The ENFP is a bubbly, personable, and enthusiastic type who is constantly getting people excited. They are constantly picking apart new experiences to decipher their meaning and significance, and they are constantly seeking out new experiences.

#15

The four-letter dichotomies are not based on the cognitive functions, making the test results highly subjective and prone to variance based on where you are in terms of cognitive development.
