    Can you help me figure out whether I use Ni or Fe more?

    Im considered an Infj. But sometimes I just wonder if I really use Ni more than Fe, because I think I might actually stay connected to the outside more than I do on the inside world.



    So if anyone could post their input on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Which of the functions do you relate to more and feel is more 'natural' to you? A large point I would urge you to consider is the fact that you have adapted over the years to your environment, which may have led to changes within you that might seem more 'Fe' than 'Ni', 'Ni' than 'Fe', or any other function. What primarily matters, however, is the natural order. Additionally, have you considered your inferior function? Which do you feel is the least natural for you - Se or Ti? You may very well be good at both, but having a good handle on one does not necessarily mean it is not your inferior.

    No...I havent considered it, but like you said before....I'm good at both.
    I am very good at sports. (Se I think)
    I am also very good at math, actually its my easiest subject. Science comes second.(Ti)

    Unfortunately, Se and Ti have nothing to do with sports, science, or even behavior as a whole - they can help influence these things, but it's not enough to assume you're good at a function simply because you happen to be the star basketball player, or what have you. It may be a good starting point to study how your experiences have helped you to develop these functions (perhaps playing sports has helped you with Se by paying attention to the present and delving into experiences more), but I would also suggest you branch out to the actual depth of the functions beyond behavior.

    Well....what website would you say has the most accurate description of the functions?

    There are very few websites around that seem to offer descriptions of the functions, but given that, I would recommend this site: Function Attitude.

    It is a bit complicated and tends to confuse, but it also offers a few different takes on each function, which may help you in studying them and deciding.

    Ok.....the reason it took so long is because I was trying to figure out what they are saying about Ti.
    I get what they're saying about Se, but if I need to figure out which one is more comfortable, then I need to figure out Ti.
    Can you give me an example of Ti?
    Also thanks.....I like this site a whole lot better than the other ones.

    I would say that Ti is primarily about mental organization - it's Thinking directed toward the inner world, or your mind. It tends to focus on specifying and defining things, categorizing them mentally. As such, those with Ti may have very specific uses for concepts and ideas, and I've seen some of those using Ti criticized as 'nit-pickers' due to their specifications. Ti can be contrasted with Te, which is focused on the outward world; Te focuses on control and organization and doing things in the most efficient way, losing specifics in favour of the most productive method.

    If I may be so bold, I would also like to quote a description I wrote of it a while back, as my example here was probably not very clear.

    Ti, Introverted Thinking: Ti focuses on specifying, analyzing, and defining within the inner world. Those who use Ti have an inner system in which they categorize everything, and these categories may be very specific. The Ti mind is a very natural analyst. Those who use Ti seek clarity, and may, at times, come across as too complicated to others, even if this is not the case.

    Well, it looks like that I favor Ti over Se.
    Sooo.......where does this lead to?

    INFJs hold Ti in a tertiary position; Se is their inferior. ENFJs have Ti in the inferior position, and Se as their tertiary. If you believe you naturally favor Ti over Se, this may lend credence to the INFJ side, if Se is truly your inferior function.
