Extraverted Intuition (Ne)

Ne projects energy outward to detect latent connections, potential outcomes, and emergent patterns in the environment. Its process involves generating and evaluating possibilities based on observed stimuli, linking disparate elements, and continuously scanning for novelty. Ne prioritizes adaptability and responsiveness to new input rather than direct validation against objective reality.

Second Function: Same modality, variable energetic toll

Introverted Feeling (Fi)

Fi channels energy inward to evaluate phenomena according to an internally consistent framework of value. Its operation involves integrating observations and experiences into a coherent subjective system, producing judgments that are internally logical and precise. Fi functions independently of external validation, but continuously monitors consistency and alignment within the internal schema.

Third Function: Opposite modality, variable energetic toll

Extraverted Thinking (Te)

Te channels energy outward to organize and structure external processes and environments. It evaluates causal relationships, implements systematic procedures, and optimizes for measurable outcomes. Te continuously integrates external information to refine procedures, ensuring that operations remain effective and directly applicable to the surrounding context.

Fourth Function: The polar function, least natural to utilize, most energetic toll
