😭😭😭 as an INFP 4w3 i've grown to hate "not like other girls" elitism, like i love pop music and girly things, but in turn that has given me a slight superiority complex towards both "not like other girls" people and "casual" enjoyers of pop music and girly things

The slant in elitism and how it differs for a 4w3 ISFP from a 4w3 INFP just occurred to me and made me laugh:

Fanny from Bright Star (ISFP): eww, your outfits are so hideous and basic. I design and sew all of mine to stand out in a superior way from your low-grade trash Regency garments, while judging you for being cringe (look at my fabulous bonnet!).

Marianne Dashwood from Sense & Sensibility (INFP): eww, a man who can't read poetry with the right amount of fervent ardor is so basic. I prefer people who TRULY UNDERSTAND the important things in life, which are emo poetry and moping in the rain, in the hopes that I might fall ill and die and then he will be sorry!! (Also, I hate the basic bitches who will be living in our house and eating off our plates and I won't be nice to them before we leave!)

Can you describe each of the dominant functions when trying to solve a problem?

Te: what’s the fastest, most obvious solution that accomplishes a goal?

Ti: what is the logical root of the problem and what will fix it, quick?

Fe: what solution will ensure mutual benefits for all involved?

Fi: what solution do I feel most comfortable with?

Ne: what solution works best with the broader picture?

Ni: what solution has the best future outcome?

Se: what solution is apparent in the external environment?

Si: what has worked to resolve similar situations in the past?

Inferior: *Sees person behaving irresponsibly or being lazy* lol what a loser with likely no redeeming qualities unlike myself, who is perf just the way i am aside from some flaws that i may or may not be insecure about

Uhh, hi. My name's Holly. Yeah, I know, it's so... Christmasy. But unlike the plastics in the school dance committee, I'm not exactly feeling warm and jolly about the winter formal. My boyfriend Darren dumped me like a stocking full of coal over Thanksgiving Break to go out with my ex-best friend, and my new crush is super-hottie football star Nicholas Mistletoe. He doesn't even know I'm alive, and if he did, why would he want to go out with me--the daughter of Krampus? I guess it's true what they say--holidays are Hell. *Fall Out Boy's "Yule Shoot Your Eye Out" plays*

INFP functions in a nutshell

Fi: I want to MATTER in this world, I want to be my own inspiration, I need to know that what I've accomplished is in line with my real, authentic self

Ne: okay but what is that inner authentic self, hold on lemme just try to be 32549632 different people at once and work towards as many goals as possible

Si: idk I get kinda scared when I think about all these possibilities, I'd rather just do the same thing I've been doing for the past few years bc it feels comfortable

Te: YOU GUYS ALL SUCK, YOU'RE NOT EVEN DOING ANYTHING. NOW I AM GONNA CLEAN THE SHIT OUT OF THIS ROOM AND FEEL GREAT ABOUT IT

Tert Fe vs Tert Fi

ENTP: my childhood has broken me emotionally

ISTJ: haha yeah one day I realized I actually only care about me

ENTP: now I'm kinda just devoid of all emotion

ISTJ: yeah yeah me too

ENTP: no, no, I think the difference between us is that I'm a cold unfeeling robot and you're just an asshole.

Sarcastic functions (For fun)

SUBMITTED by Steve

Dominant Si: You throw a temper tantrum when the rest of the group votes to replace the mushrooms with black olives on the pizza

Auxiliary Si: You’re feeling “edgy” this weekend, so you’re gonna try homemade tartar instead of going to Applebee’s

Tertiary Si: You probably have your favorite childhood cartoon character tattooed somewhere on your body

Inferior Si: You only changed religions twice during college, that’s surprisingly conservative of you

Dominant Se: Everything you do has to result in you saying “Whoooooaaaaaaa!!!”

Auxiliary Se: This is needlessly dangerous, so of course you’re first in line to try it

Tertiary Se: Put on that Armani/Versace because you’re gong grocery shopping

Inferior Se: I guess you owe it to yourself to have sex this year

Dominant Ni: Life is overrated, deconstructing the fabric of existence is where it’s at

Tertiary Ni: You just now, out of nowhere, decided to knock down every wall in your apartment so you can have a yourself a kickass loft

Inferior Ni: You woke up this morning deciding you want to become president in the near future. As you Googled “What is the difference between Democrats and Republicans?”, you got sidetracked by a hookup on Tinder

Dominant Ne: You just gave a friend a two hour monologue on the history of Imperial Japan because they asked you if they should buy a Toyota

Auxiliary Ne: You’ve never made it to season 3 of anything

Tertiary Ne: You can can assess where your friends and family are going with their lives…..through astrology of course. And you just can’t resist an on-line quiz that tells you about your personality based on your eye color

Auxiliary functions (In depth)

SUBMITTED via e-mail

Auxiliary Si (ESxJ): Auxiliary Si manifest in people sticking to what they know, what they have seen that works successfully, first hand. This makes them usually enforcers of traditions and nostalgia-seekers, but tertiary Ne can interfere and make them want to shake things up a bit. But auxiliary Si has more weight and therefore the road that is tried and tested usually wins out. New ideas thus, need to be studied carefully but are always tantalizing. 

Auxiliary Se (ISxP): Auxiliary Se manifests in people acting on their desires or simply seeking thrills, through good environmental awareness after it has been filtered through their Fi/Ti. In either case, this often comes off as rebellious behavior “I do what I want” and given that they are introverts, they don’t put as much thought as to how it will impact others, which can oddly make ISxPs sometimes come off as even more impulsive than their extroverted counterparts. An aura of mystery behind these types, only reinforces that. But in reality, they typically think things through more than ESxPs, Especially since tertiary Ni often pops up to lay out the bigger picture of whatever it is they are doing or thinking. But given that it only has to make sense to them, it may very well come off as making no sense to onlookers. 

Auxiliary Ni (ENxJ): Auxiliary Ni manifests in people wanting to revolutionize “the system” or leaving their mark in some ground-breaking way. However, being extroverts means they will probably need assistance from others in order to do so, unlike INxJs who can just lock themselves in their basements and come up with a revolutionary insight. Thus, auxiliary Ni can be very good in tapping into other people’s strengths and using them. Or just generally, that they have a good sense of what people are thinking or where things are heading. This is a key component in them wanting to tackle the unknown, Tertiary Se however, refuses to let real time events and trends pass right over their heads and will often nag them let go of their projects momentarily in order to see what the immediate world is doing or has to offer. This makes them a little less focused than their introverted counterparts, but more realistic. 

Auxiliary Ne (INxP): Auxiliary Ne manifests in people constantly questioning the world around them, but unlike ENxPs, they can be more pick and choose about this. But generally, they don’t take people, things and events at face value. There is always much more behind this. Tertiary Si takes in new and boundless information and acts as a filtering system in dictating what they love and hate. If you like this, then keep it (maybe forever) if you don’t like this……keep exploring for other options. This will work in tandem with their dominant Fi or Ti in making personal sense of things. The general portrait is usually of someone that goes through many phases, to the extent of coming off as very eccentric, while keeping many personal beliefs and values intact throughout time. 

Auxiliary Fi (ExFP): Auxiliary Fi manifests in people constantly acting on what they feel is right or wrong according to their personal standards. But being extroverts, this can sometimes be subject to flexibility and change through other people, something that is much more rare in IxFPs. ExFPs can also be much more curious or accurately aware of other people’s beliefs and value system. To some extent this can also mean tertiary Te taking this into account when wanting to realize something concrete. This is not to be mistaken for Fe as it is merely wanting to understand other people, not necessarily making concessions with them. If anything, ExFPs can also be very judgmental about other people’s beliefs and values when it doesn’t gel with theirs. But rather than seeking to influence or change them, they prefer merely understanding what drives people and of course dismissing what violates their beliefs if it is too strongly.

Auxiliary Fe (IxFJ): Tertiary Fe manifests in people reading with great accuracy other’s needs and more than often catering to them. This can easily make them look like extroverts, as social conventions and expectations weigh very strongly on their minds. It also makes them great shoulders to lean on as they naturally understand people.Tertiary Ti however, can bring a good dose of skepticism and questioning, something that has a tendency to fall flat on ExFJs. Therefore, the concept of the human race should be one happy family can only go so far with IxFJs, as gritty realism can poke its ugly head and lead them to limit their generosity and philanthropy. 

Auxiliary Ti (ExTP): Auxiliary Ti manifests in people being accurately aware of logic and facts, but having to consider people and the world around them at the same time, which makes said facts and logic malleable. ExTPs love nothing more than blunt truth telling, getting to the bottom line and so on, but also have tertiary Fe remind them to buffer this. Therefore, when in stress, this can be severely compromised and ExTPs can become downright mean in telling things the way they see fit. Fe can also work in tandem with their Ti in working with people towards a logical objective. In its darker form, this will most likely be manipulation of others for one’s own gain. Where ExTPs have a huge advantage over their introverted counterparts however, is that their logic knows how to work with others, therefore being more convincing or ironically, sounding more logical than IxTPs, whom even though this is their dominant function, have a tendency to not care about what others think and therefore may come off as being more “out there”.

Auxiliary Te (IxTJ): Auxiliary Te manifests in people being very pro-active in reaching their goals and not wanting emotional plights getting in the way. Te for IxTJs however, is much more slow than their extroverted counterparts. This ironically makes them come off as lazy, of all things, to others. That’s because they work with the mindset of “I’ll do it when I’m good and ready” and when that time comes, it will get done by all means necessary. Both Si and Ni work by amassing large pools of facts and data before springing into action, and thus the apparent “slowness”. It is actually all about forming a solid base before moving on to the next step rather than what may look like procrastinating. IxTJs, while usually having great leadership qualities (much more than they will give themselves credit for), usually prefer to steer clear from leadership roles because through their introverted personalities, they may find it draining to impose orders on others (something that comes naturally to your typical ExTJ). Thus they prefer showing their own competencies on their own accord and sometimes by picking up other people’s slack. Just as ExTJs can be influenced by their Se/Ne, so too can IxTJs be derailed OR fueled by their FI. 

Note: No need for a dominant functions write-up as it would only be explaining the basics of said functions.

More about the functions

Ne in all four positions

Dominant: *Goes on internet* HONEY I’M HOME wait is that a real thing husbands say to their wives like in old sitcoms? Was it normal for husbands in those eras to say that? OKAY NM I GOTTA REMEMBER WHAT I WAS GONNA BE OBSESSED WITH TODAY *sees that a new episode of their favourite podcast about Tuvan throat singing is out* THAT. I’LL BE OBSESSED WITH THAT. *Spends hours looking at memes related to High School Musical for no reason* I wonder if a Marxist criticism could be applied to an analysis of High School Musical. *Rewatches all 3 High School Musical movies and reads about Marxism in between movies* *Begins to write a post on Tumblr about the social structure of high school and how High School Musical is from the pov of someone close to the top of the social ladder* *Gets distracted by a picture of a unicorn with a badly written inspirational quote in comic sans over it* OMG THAT EXISTS. I WANT THAT IMAGE ON A T-SHIRT.

Auxiliary: *Injects fictional works and interesting facts into their bloodstream* oh yeahhhhh that’s the stuuuuff

Tertiary: *Fantasises about celebrity they’re in love with* OH IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES LIKE WE COULD MOVE TO CALIFORNIA TOGETHER AND GET A COZY BEACH HOUSE OR LIVE IN A NICE APARTMENT IN NYC AND WE COULD GO ON ALL KINDS OF DATES TOGETHER WHERE WE’D SHOW AFFECTION TO EACH OTHER IN PUBLIC AND EVERYONE WOULD KNOW I’M THE LUCKIEST PERSON ALIVE

Inferior: *Can’t think of a fitting title for a creative piece* Wait, I have an idea. I’ll just call it “Untitled”. I’M ACTUALLY SO CREATIVE OMG

[camziez]

Ni in all four positions

Dominant: *Sitting in lotus position with eyes closed* I am at one with the forces of the universe, able to perceive the distant future and all the factors that will lead to its formation in a plethora of domino effects and chain reactions. You see that tree over there? It’s an Alaska red cedar, which has a lifespan of about 3500 years. To you, it must be quite a long lifetime, but to it, living for thousands of years is nothing special. Much like a typical dog only lives for a bit over 10 years, a single lifetime for you would be the equivalent of multiple lifetimes for it. Or even for a fruit fly, living for under two months is a full lifetime and if it could experience bafflement, it would at the concept that some living beings can live for decades, or even for a single decade in a dog’s case. But all this pales in comparison to the universe, which is the only thing that will outlive all else. You and I will die eventually, as will every other person and living thing that exists, but the universe will keep existing, hosting life in whatever form it takes. Humans are the only life known by us capable of understanding concepts such as this, which may suggest that we have a meaningful role in the grand scheme of things, but an average human’s only contribution to this grand scheme is ensuring the existence of other humans in the future, which can be seen as… *Fails to notice that the person they’re talking to got bored and ditched them sometime around “It’s an Alaska red cedar”*

Auxiliary: *Reviews vision for the future* Excellent, all is happening according to plan. *Something doesn’t happen according to plan* SHIT SHIT SHIT THIS IS NOT OKAY WHAT DO I DO

Tertiary: *At a bar* I’m getting kind of a creepy vibe from that guy sitting by himself over there. But maybe he’s just a normal guy who wants a drink after a long day at work or maybe all his friends are busy. I mean, not every guy who goes to bars alone is a creep *Sees said guy pester a woman for her attention and not leave her alone even after she turns him down multiple times* Yo, I was right. She looks really uncomfortable. I should step in and do something, I’m getting the feeling that he’s not gonna take no for an answer anytime soon. Alright, aux-Se, do your thing.

Inferior: *Is asked to consider the future/abstract ideas* yeah how about i fuckin don’t lol
