This may be more fitting in the cognitive functions section but I don't care because no one really responds there.

Anyway, going by the theory that all types use all eight functions, is our function order



Ti Ne Si Fe Te Ni Se Fi

or something different?


Our inferior function is supposed to be the weakest developed, right? And our shadow functions are just the ones we use unconsciously? That's what I've always thought.

But I don't know if Te is more accessible than Fe, or if Fe or Fi is actually our weakest function.

There are multiple models for the shadow functions.
Jungian cognitive functions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There is not a socially accepted model though :/

I also don't know for sure if Fe is INTP's weakest function as cognitive functions tests usually score lower for shadow functions. In theory, Fe is the weakest "conscious" function where as Fi would represent a sort of deviant opposite. It is not healthy to be actively using this function therefore Fe is weak in the sense that we can/should improve it, whereas Fi should be left be.

Everyone has the preferences and it is simply those you use naturally over those you do not. Fe will always be a part of you naturally where as Te will surface only under certain circumstances such as when you are organizing and such. These are simply my beliefs on the matter.
