An INTJ's primary driver is not "being introverted" but is specifically **Introverted Intuition (Ni)**. This is the lens they see everything through. +2. **Look at the Auxiliary Function:** This is how the Dominant function is supported and expressed in the world. An INTJ's Ni visions are given structure and brought into reality through **Extraverted Thinking (Te)**. +3. **Consider the Top Two as a Unit:** The Dominant and Auxiliary functions work as a team and account for the vast majority of a person's conscious behavior. For an INTJ, the Ni-Te pairing creates a powerful drive to envision a future system and then logically execute the steps to build it. +4. **Use the Tertiary and Inferior for Nuance:** The Tertiary function (Fi for INTJ) explains sources of relief and immaturity. The Inferior function (Se for INTJ) explains major stress reactions and the primary path for long-term growth. + +By focusing on the functions, you move from static labels to a dynamic understanding of an individual's cognitive architecture. diff --git a/20-Knowledge/Briggs/MBTI Study/GEMINI.md b/20-Knowledge/Briggs/MBTI Study/GEMINI.md index e69de29..1ce9a7e 100644 --- a/20-Knowledge/Briggs/MBTI Study/GEMINI.md +++ b/20-Knowledge/Briggs/MBTI Study/GEMINI.md @@ -0,0 +1,16 @@ +# Directory Overview + +This directory contains a collection of research notes and summaries related to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality system.
