The system can be understood on two levels:
1. **The Four Dichotomies:** Four pairs of opposing preferences that create the four-letter type code (e.g., INFJ). This is the "what."
2. **The Eight Cognitive Functions:** The mental processes that explain *how* those preferences manifest. This is the "why."

### 1. The Function Stack
No type uses only four functions. Each of the 16 types has a "stack" or hierarchy of all eight functions, but the top four are the most conscious and accessible.
No type uses only four functions. Each of the 16 types has a "stack" or hierarchy of all eight functions, but the top four are the most conscious and accessible. This is explained in detail in the "Building the Function Stack" section of the [[03 - The Cognitive Functions]] file.
- **Dominant (1st):** The "Hero." Your most natural and developed process. The core of your consciousness.
- **Auxiliary (2nd):** The "Parent." Supports the Dominant and is the primary way you interact with the world outside of your dominant orientation. It provides balance.

The `J` or `P` in a type code is crucial. It tells you which of your primary functions is **extraverted**.
- For **J-types**, their preferred **Judging** function (Thinking or Feeling) is extraverted.
- For **P-types**, their preferred **Perceiving** function (Sensing or Intuition) is extraverted.
- for **P-types**, their preferred **Perceiving** function (Sensing or Intuition) is extraverted.
**Example:**
- **INFJ:** The `J` indicates their Judging function (Feeling) is extraverted (`Fe`).
- **INFP:** The `P` indicates their Perceiving function (Intuition) is extraverted (`Ne`).
- **[[Type Profiles/INFJ|INFJ]]:** The `J` indicates their Judging function (Feeling) is extraverted (`Fe`).
- **[[Type Profiles/INFP|INFP]]:** The `P` indicates their Perceiving function (Intuition) is extraverted (`Ne`).
### 3. Introverted vs. Extraverted Types
The first letter (I or E) determines the orientation of the **dominant** function.
- **Extraverted Types (e.g., ENTP):** Their dominant function is extraverted (`Ne`). They lead with their outer-world process.
- **Introverted Types (e.g., INTP):** Their dominant function is introverted (`Ti`). They lead with their inner-world process.
- **Extraverted Types (e.g., [[Type Profiles/ENTP|ENTP]]):** Their dominant function is extraverted (`Ne`). They lead with their outer-world process.
- **Introverted Types (e.g., [[Type Profiles/INTP|INTP]]):** Their dominant function is introverted (`Ti`). They lead with their inner-world process.
