Disconnects from others, indulges critical or mean judgments, forms rigid logical conclusions, becomes frustrated by problems and fixated on “why is this happening?” SJ: High Introverted Sensing (Si) / Low Extroverted Intuition (Ne): Grounded, detailed, good with routine, sticks with what they know and cherish, observant, aware of physical needs, careful decision making, prefers sensory comfort, details, precision, personal experience, trust in past precedent.Fearful of consequences, unable to sort possibilities carefully, doesn’t see or give much thought to what’s going on beneath the surface, gives in to irrationality, becomes impulsive under stress.įJ: High Extroverted Feeling (Fe) / Low Introverted Thinking (Ti): Emotionally persuasive, maintains good relationships, smooths out discord, uses collective values to connect with others, good people skills, prone to sharing feelings, focus on social appropriateness, projects ‘false’ moods, need to be liked. ![]() Physical detachment, underestimates projects, nitpicks about change, fails to be realistic. NP: High Extroverted Intuition (Ne) / Low Introverted Sensing (Si): Big picture thinking, good at improvising or changing their mind, loves wit or puns, inappropriate humor, optimistic dreamer, new patterns, following new thoughts. Fears impending doom, fails to plan ahead, misreads situations, fixation on a single goal. SP: High Extroverted Sensing (Se) / Low Introverted Intuition (Ni): Quick to react or instigate action or to respond to novelty or change, opportunism, in the moment, quick action, sensory confidence, risk-taking, hands-on, makes things happen, impulsive and not often careful. ![]() Bad at improvising, often miscalculates, over-indulges, unaware of environment.

(If you are stuck, need a refresher, or to consider another type, you can reference my condensed overview of each chapter in Thomson’s book that reminds you of a function’s focus and behavioral attitudes.) Cognitive Shortcuts List: Let go of biases, expectations, and learn to identify, appreciate and admire each type for its strengths. Avoid forming ‘dislikes’ for certain types and assume no character shares your type unless you can see clear evidence of how they ‘fail’ in the same cognitive ways you do. Learning and deepening your understanding as you type will show you the mistakes you make and give you additional information and clarity about the functions. If you cannot figure out a character, it may be you are holding too tightly to an assumption throw out that type and consider another one. Some people type based on the big picture (this character acts most like an _, so they are one) some type based on details (careful assessment of the character, gathering facts) some type based on a combination of both, or use a conclusion and work backward to find the evidence. If you find yourself grasping at straws or being overly vague to explain their functional stack, either a) you have the wrong type, b) you do not know the axis very well, or c) the character is poorly written. Rule 2: Form a decent argument with “proof” based on an understanding of the functions. ![]() Unless this defines their personality in an identifiable way, assume them a sensor. ![]() An intuitive character will stand out because they are motivated by hunches – they know things, or connect things the other characters do not or find of little interest. New typists are too quick to label characters as intuitive. Rule 1: Assume the character is a sensor.
