The Difference Between Sensing and Intuition [N and S]

Image
One of the most obvious differences amongst different types of people is whether someone is intuitive or sensing. Sensors favor experience and intuitives favor ideas. Plain and simple. These specific traits will typically be hard to hide. Intuition and sensing are our observing functions, meaning that they determine how we observe the world around us. We use them to take in data about our lives or organize data about our current situation.  Which observing function do you think you have? Sensing or intuition? Here's a hint that might help you discern which function you favor. The world is filled with sensors. A wapping 70% of people favor the sensing function, so intuitives typically feel like the weird kids. Not only are intuitives different from sensors, they are also very different from each other as well, making it hard to feel like they fit in. That's not to say that sensors can't feel left out or outcast in certain situations, they can just more easily find a common i

The Need for External Validation [Fe and Te]

Everyone innately  has similar features and struggles. Even though everyone has their own unique experience, we can look at our own struggles as well as those of other people, and find some similarities.  Take a look at the function list below. This is a layout of all possible functions in a person's consciousness. Each person has four present in their consciousness: an introverted and extroverted observer and an introverted and extroverted decider.  The Observers Ne - Extroverted Intuition Ni - Introverted Intuition Se - Extroverted Sensing Si - Introverted Sensing The Deciders  Fe - Extroverted Feeling Fi - Introverted Feeling Te - Extroverted Thinking Ti - Introverted Thinking In this article, we will only be targeting the extroverted deciders (Fe and Te). The decider functions are very important.

The Importance of Identity Choices [Fi and Ti]

Image
In Jungian Psychology, all of humanity is made up of eight core functions. More specifically, each person's individual consciousness is made up of four. The eight functions are as follows: The Observers Ne - Extroverted Intuition Ni - Introverted Intuition Se - Extroverted Sensing Si - Introverted Sensing The Deciders  Fe - Extroverted Feeling Fi - Introverted Feeling Te - Extroverted Thinking Ti - Introverted Thinking In this post, I am going to discuss the importance of only two, Ti and Fi. Both are introverted decider functions, meaning they hold the identity of the individual that they are present in. Now keep in mind, EVERY SINGLE HUMAN ON EARTH has at least one of these functions. This applies to everyone and could help anyone figure out more about themselves and how they function.  Because of the introverted nature of Fi and Ti, they operate independently of external stimulation. This means that each person's internal decided function can and will look very different fr
