Each Personality Typ has 4 cognitive functions. The first one is the dominant one and is used most of the times. The last one is inferior and is underdeveloped, it's basicly on the level of a child.
For example my Personality Type is the INTP and it has following functions:
Introverted = Inner World
Extroverted = Outer World
-Ti (Introverted Thinking)
-Ni (Extraverted Intuition)
-Si (Introverted Sensing)
-Fe (Extroverted Feeling)
The Dominant function is the personality type's preferred role, the one they feel most comfortable with. The secondary Auxiliary function serves to support and expand on the Dominant function. If the Dominant is an information gathering function (sensing or intuition), the Auxiliary is a decision making function (thinking or feeling), and vice versa. The Tertiary function is less developed than the Dominant and Auxiliary, but it matures over time, rounding out the person's abilities. The Inferior function is the personality type's fatal weakness. This is the function they are least comfortable with. Like the Tertiary, the Inferior function strengthens with maturity.
It's very complex and I am currently reading into it.
If you also would like to know more about yourself, or just want to find out which personality type you have, give it a try!
