# Project Overview - MBTI Study

This directory serves as a comprehensive study guide for the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) system, built incrementally based on user requests.

## Objective
The overarching objective is to transform theoretical MBTI knowledge into practical wisdom, enabling the user to:
1.  Accurately identify an individual's personality type.
2.  Assess their ways of thinking and internal logic.
3.  Effectively connect and build relationships with individuals at their level.

## Document Structure

The study guide is structured as a series of Markdown files, intended to be read in numerical order for a progressive understanding:

*   `01 - System Overview.md`: A high-level introduction to the MBTI framework.
*   `02 - The Four Dichotomies.md`: A detailed exploration of the four preference pairs (E/I, S/N, T/F, J/P).
*   `03 - The Cognitive Functions.md`: A deep dive into the eight cognitive functions and their stacking rules.
*   `04 - Function Dynamics and Relationships.md`: An analysis of how functions interact within the stack (e.g., Dominant/Inferior axis, "the grip").
*   `05 - Understanding the 16 Types.md`: A central index linking to detailed profiles for each of the 16 personality types.
*   `06 - The Roles of the Functions.md`: A comprehensive breakdown of how each function's expression changes based on its position (Dominant, Auxiliary, Tertiary, Inferior) in the stack, including examples.

## Type Profiles

The `Type Profiles/` subdirectory contains a detailed profile for each of the 16 types, built using a standardized template. These profiles focus on:
*   The type's cognitive stack in action.
*   Common strengths, weaknesses, and potential blind spots.
*   Practical identification tips and communication strategies.
*   Guidance on building various types of relationships (colleague, friend, romantic).
*   Insights into how to "reach their heart" by understanding their vulnerable functions.
*   Common mistypes and distinctions.
*   A section for personal "Known People" examples.

## Future Topics / Reminders

-   **Completed:** A deep dive into the different Cognitive Functions and their specific roles depending on where they are in the stack (e.g., the difference between Dominant Ni and Tertiary Ni). (Covered in `06 - The Roles of the Functions.md`)
