Can you develop all 8 MBTI Functions?
“Can you develop all eight functions? If so, how would one go about doing that?”
That would be an excellent idea if you want to go nowhere in life.
I would not recommend trying to develop all eight functions, and here’s why.
You have four functions that you utilize on a regular basis, but occasionally, when you’re extremely stressed out, you can lapse into using all opposite functions (aka, your shadow functions). Continue reading

How to Tell the Difference: INTJ vs ISFP
alifara asked: What is the difference between XNTJ and XSFP ? are ISFPs capable of being cold, highly-critical, and impulsive ?
Yes, ISFPs can certainly be cold and highly critical –just like any type can behave coldly and critically. A good fictional example of this type of ISFP would be Kat Stratford from 10 Things I Hate About You. Continue reading

INTJs in Christopher Nolan films
The first time I watched Inception, I came away on fire with excitement about the concepts that had just been left ambiguously unresolved at the end of the movie. Meanwhile, the ENFP with whom I’d watched it was left scratching her head trying to comprehend what she just seen.
We watched it again. She understood a little more, but it wasn’t until we’d seen it at least three times (and I’d explained it to her in depth) before she finally understood it.
Christopher Nolan’s more recent films, namely Inception and Interstellar, both feature ISTP protagonists. However, despite featuring only one blatantly INTJ character each (Saito and Dr. Brandt), they still bear the express markings of INTJ writing. Nolan’s earlier work however, did not hold to this trend, but showed a remarkably large frequency of INTJ protagonists. Continue reading

Easy Ways Differentiate Between MBTI Functions
So you’re new to the Meyers-Briggs theory. You’re totally clueless and looking everywhere for an extremely simplified explanation of the Jungian cognitive functions.
Guess what, you came to the right place!
Welcome to the watered down method for telling the difference between MBTI functions.

However, this does happen to be a great way to get started on identifying the cognitive functions, so here we go. Continue reading
