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.

Second Function: Same modality, variable energetic toll

Introverted Intuition (Ni)

Ni channels energy inward to integrate information into cohesive, abstract models of systemic dynamics. Its process emphasizes detecting underlying structures, long-term trajectories, and causal relationships. Ni synthesizes discrete observations into coherent internal frameworks, prioritizing insight into patterns and latent trends over immediate, concrete data.

Third Function: Opposite modality, variable energetic toll

Extraverted Sensation (Se)

Se directs energy outward to perceive and respond to the immediate environment. Its operation involves capturing sensory input in real time, detecting changes, and executing actions informed by external stimuli. Se functions focus on precise perception and responsiveness to external conditions without interpretation through internal conceptual frameworks.

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