    Cognitive Attitudes Part 3 - Judging Preferences (Introverted Thinking vs Extraverted Thinking)

    Welcome back to my 4 part series on Cognitive function attitudes. This is part 3 and is a continuation of part 1 and two about Perceiving preferences. In these last two episodes I move on to talking about Judging Preference and how our cognitive functions show up differently for each of the 16 personality types based on their attitudes. As you should already know from previous episodes, the cognitive functions we use take on different attitudes or styles depending on whether they are Introverted or Extraverted. Just as all the extraverted personality types have certain traits in common, so too with the extraverted functions. Their first and most obvious commonality is their outward direction. They are also characteristically broad in their scope compared to the introverted functions (just as extraverts are more outgoing and expansive in their dealings than introverts). The introverted functions, by contrast, are narrower in scope (just as introverts are apt to have narrower or more focused interests or activities than extraverts). Whatever the introverted functions may lack in extensiveness, however, they make up for in depth. Extraverted Functions Directed outwardly (observable by others) Broad in scope; extensive Introverted Functions Directed inwardly (concealed from others) Narrow in scope; deep and intensive So through discovering your personality type, we can determine which of your top 4 functions are directed inwardly (Introverted) and which are outwardly focused (Extraverted) within what we call your cognitive function stack. This difference in attitude preference has quite a large impact on the ways that the types perceive or learn new information (Perceiving Preferences) as well as on how we judge or make decisions (Judging Preferences) According to Jung, Sensing, Intuition, Thinking, and Feeling can be directed inwardly (i.e., “introverted”) or outwardly (i.e., “extraverted”). This is why we have 8 cognitive functions in total, and each type will use 4 of them consciously and therefore make up their ego, whilst the other 4 functions get assigned to what is referred to as our shadow and consists of all the traits we don't recognize within ourselves and tend to disregard as we consider these traits as unacceptable or wrong in some way. Seeing as I already discussed the Perceiving Styles of Sensing and Intuition in the 2 previous episodes titled Perceiving Preferences Part 1 and Part 2 of this series on cognitive function attitudes. I did my best to discuss the differences in how perceiving functions manifest within a type based on their attitude preference of Introversion or Extraversion. This is a continuation of that 4 part series where I will do my best to cover the Judging Preferences of either Thinking or Feeling and in or help you better understand how you prefer to make decisions. Like all the functions, there will be differences in the ways we judge based on your type's preferred attitude/direction of either Introversion or Extraversion. In this episode we are going to discuss Thinking as a judging preference. This is part 3 and the first episode on Judging Preferences. Here I will be contrasting the two styles of Thinking which would be Introverted Thinking or Extraverted Thinking. Finally In the next and last episode I will cover Feeling as a judging preference by contrasting Extraverted Feeling and Introverted Feeling and how these attitudes affect the ways in which we make decisions using Feeling. According to Myers-Briggs personality theory, there are two different types of thinking: introverted and extroverted thinking. Here's a quick summary of their differences: Introverted thinking is more internally focused, while extroverted thinking is more externally focused. Introverted thinkers seek consistency and logic in their internal framework to assist with solving problems, while extroverted thinkers seek logic and consistency in outside rules to help them solve problems.

    Common Misconception About Introversion & Extraversion

    A random but important episode in which I do my best to clarify a really common misconception about Introversion and Extraversion within the typology community. I believe that these types of misconceptions might even be a part of why Myers Briggs is still rejected as a valid tool within todays psychology. Hope this episode provides more clarity and helps us understand one another more accurately.

    Perceiving Preferences Part 2 - Introverted Intuition (Ni) vs Extraverted Intuition (Ne)

    Without further ado, we’re diving into the remaining two cognitive functions—the Intuition functions! As a refresher, there are four total Perceiving functions: Introverted Sensing (Si), Extroverted Sensing (Se), Introverted Intuition (Ni), and Extroverted Intuition (Ne). The Perceiving functions establish how we take in information. In the most basic sense, Perceiving is the stimulus and Judging is the response. Perceiving functions gather the information that Judging functions—Thinking and Feeling—utilize to make decisions. Like the Judging functions, the energy of the Perceiving functions is also directed inward (introverted) or directed outward (extroverted).

    Perception Preferences Part 1 - Introverted Sensing (Si) vs Extraverted Sensing (Se)

    This is the beginning of season 2 where I will be describing the cognitive functions that each personality type uses in much more detail. Seeing as our personality types comprise of our cognitive function stack, it is these components that make up who we are and how we perceive the world as well as judge the world. This is part one of the perceiving preferences style of cognitive function so if you happened to have fencing as one of your dominant or top cognitive functions you will relate to this episode. However every single type uses fencing it is just a matter of which attitude is preferred. or perceive the world in different ways. if you have not already listened to my other episodes about the cognitive functions or if you do not yet know your personality type I recommend you first either take an online test and find out what your type is or have a taping session with me by contacting me at and at mp3.co.za and I will be able to tell you accurately what your four letter code is before we move on to understanding what your personality is like based on the positions of these functions in your cognitive function stack. you will use sensation as a preference of learning information if you are and estp esfp istp and isfp personality type.

    Types of Intelligence - Part 1

    This episode describe how they are actually different types of intelligence that manifest differently for each personality type. It can be useful to understand that we are all different and unique and that there are different ways of expressing your skills and strength. We all have our own view of what intelligence looks like and might miss the fact that others see it differently and what you might have thought of as intelligence, someone else might consider foolish. I simply hoping this episode to be able to describe what intelligence looks like to each type and how their own form of intelligence manifests so as to encourage us to recognise and appreciate and it's many different forms.

    How Knowledge of Myers-Briggs Will Change Your Life Entirely

    In this episode, I simply give more of a background as to how I got into myers-briggs and Jungian analytical psychology. I finally reveal my type which is infj and get into the story of how I became so fascinated with this these systems of typology and understanding others. I describe how much MBTI changed my life and even during times when I am not learning or thinking about it usually end up being the times when I find out the most interesting parts. Having this as a language to describe the many facets of perception and decision that goes on in our heads almost as if we have a crew a very different personalities arguing and competing inside of our heads at all times whether we know it or not. anyway this episode of the serves as a warning that once you start with this stuff you tend to be affected for the rest of your life. So be where life will never be the same.

    Your Mental Wiring - Cognitive Functions

    In this episode we speak about the most important and insightful aspects of the whole myers-briggs system or union analytical psychology and that is the eight cognitive functions. These are the ways that we learn new information through the perceiving functions of either sensing or intuition and how we make decisions through the functions of thinking and feeling. depending on the attitudes of these functions which is either introverted or extroverted as well as where they are positioned within your cognitive function stack which will be different for each type. you can expect a brief description of each of the eight functions before I move on and other episodes to describing each function on its own in more depth. This episode is meant to help you connect your personality type to these functions in order to understand the mental wiring of your brain.

    Roles & Positions of Cognitive Functions

    This episode describes your 8 cognitive functions, as well as what introversion and extraversion are - attitudes. These concepts form the basis for understanding and using Personality Type. The brain takes in information for us (perceiving) and then it helps us make decisions (judging). These are the 2 most basic, fundamental functions of the the brain, besides keeping us alive by telling us to eat and breathe. There are 4 totally different ways of perceiving and 4 totally different ways of judging. Together these are called the 8 cognitive functions. The differences in how we all perceive and judge accounts for the basic differences in personality. To a large extent, differences in perceiving and judging is why we are all so different. Personality type theory actually comes from an understanding of these 8 functions. Your 4 letter personality type is actually a code which will tell you which functions you are strongest in and which functions are probably weak and which will cause you all sorts of problems. Unfortunately, you can not be good at using all 8 of these functions. You will probably be very good with 2 of these cognitive functions and they will account for your strengths. 2 functions will be weak and will indicate what your blind spots might be. And, just to make things interesting, 4 of the 8 functions will be in the unconscious and out of your control. These "shadow functions" will usually pop up to cause you trouble when you are stressed.
