What the heck are Ji, Pi, Pe and Je?!?

I have NO idea. And I can't find a thread explaining at all (not that I tried super hard or anything).

J's are related to the Judging functions: Thinking and Feeling.
P's are related to the Perceiving functions: Intuition and Sensing.

Ji's are related to the introverted Judging functions: Ti and Fi.
Je's are related to the extroverted Judging functions: Te and Fe.

Pi's are related to the introverted Perceiving functions: Ni and Si.
Pe's are related to the extroverted Perceiving functions: Ne and Se.

Lmao.

I remember when I was at that point.

So.. what is the significance/relevance/whatever when someone talks about them in a forum? Why can't they just say Ni and Si? Or is it just an easier way to classify things? To me it makes no difference but.... I don't know.

Pretty much this. Doesn't make any difference from saying Ni and Si.

Its used when people are discussing the difference in perceiving and judging functions in general.

Also, sometimes people use J because they don't want to limit themselves to just one function, when functions might actually work in pairs.

Fe works with Ti, Te works with Fi, etc..

Ha, I just realized I was typing in MTBI instead of MBTI at Amazon. I kept wondering why I was getting all those Mild Traumatic Brain Injury results.

Haha. I just recent realised I couldn't tell the difference when speaking but I could when typing. I think that has to do with being an auditory learner though.
