+# General Notes on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
+
+This note serves as a repository for general knowledge, theories, and resources related to the Myers-Briggs system.
+
+---
+
+## Part 1: The Four Dichotomies
+
+The foundation of the 16-type system is built on four pairs of opposing preferences, known as dichotomies.
+
+-   **Energy:** Introversion (I) vs. Extraversion (E)
+    -   *Where do you get your energy?*
+-   **Information:** Sensing (S) vs. Intuition (N)
+    -   *What kind of information do you naturally notice?*
+-   **Decisions:** Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F)
+    -   *How do you make decisions?*
+-   **Lifestyle:** Judging (J) vs. Perceiving (P)
+    -   *How do you prefer to live your outer life?*
+
+---
+
+## Part 2: The 16 Personality Types
+
+The combination of the four dichotomies results in 16 distinct personality types. Each type has a unique "stack" of cognitive functions that dictates how they perceive the world and make decisions.
+
+*(This section can be expanded with descriptions for each of the 16 types.)*
+
+-   ISTJ
+-   ISFJ
+-   INFJ
+-   INTJ
+-   ISTP

+
+## Part 3: The Cognitive Functions
+
+The cognitive functions are the "mental software" that underpins the four-letter type code. Each type has a stack of four primary functions, ordered by strength and consciousness.
+
+### The 8 Functions
+
+**Perceiving Functions (Information Gathering):**
+-   **Introverted Sensing (Si):** Internal library of past experiences and detailed facts.
+-   **Extraverted Sensing (Se):** Focus on the current, tangible, sensory world.
+-   **Introverted Intuition (Ni):** Synthesizing patterns to form a singular, future-oriented vision.
+-   **Extraverted Intuition (Ne):** Exploring possibilities, connections, and what-ifs in the external world.
+
+**Judging Functions (Decision Making):**
+-   **Introverted Thinking (Ti):** Internal framework of logic and first principles.
+-   **Extraverted Thinking (Te):** Organizing the external world for efficiency and logic.
+-   **Introverted Feeling (Fi):** Internal compass of personal values and authenticity.
+-   **Extraverted Feeling (Fe):** Focus on social harmony and the values of the group.

+-   **Function Stacks:** (Dominant, Auxiliary, Tertiary, Inferior)
+-   **Shadow Functions:** (The other four functions in a type's stack)
+-   **The Grip:** How types behave under extreme stress.
+-   **Type Dynamics and Development**
+-   **Criticisms and Limitations of MBTI**
