I think I see what you're saying. All that reading about the functions was confusing to me. I started to understand it better when I was given simple explanations.Cognitive Functions Explanations

Trust me, I've studied them enough. I can differentiate functions, but I feel like they can't be defined very well.

Hmm, okay. I can't believe I'm comprehending what you're saying.... I guess I just got a little smarter! Thank you!

ENFPs would do well to worry more about developing their Fi than about dwindling Ne.

Sure thing

Glad somebody understands me.

There is no end to the possibilities no matter how old I get. There will always be something new to explore and experience... even if it's being stuck in a nursing home for the last five years of my life.

I can see you like Betty White.... 90 years old and still making people laugh!

Okay, people who have been here for long enough know what the functions are supposed to mean; there's no need to explain it to us, but really, discovering yourself is a very vague phrase, and in fact, the whole idea of functions is very vague.

I didn't mean to upset you. I remember my first day on this forum, back when I didn't understand those terms. I would have wanted to know. I'm being considerate of those that are just like I was a month ago, clueless and lost.

What is the positive side of growing old as an extroverted iNtuitive?

While it's not accepted psychology, I think MBTI and age usually means that the third and fourth functions become better developed through experience and maturity. That would mean ENFP would be better with Fi, Te and Si as they grow older (assuming that they're developing and growing as a person, not everyone does). It wouldn't really affect their Ne aside from maybe becoming less pronounced (and annoying to some) and maybe be more tactful.

I imagine INFP elderlys have the most trouble with this even though Ne is their second function, simply because Fi (discovering self) is their first function.

:3

But jokes aside, I hope that both ENFP's and INFP's do have developed in a balanced way once they've grown old...

BTW, I'll never grow old. :D
