You can quickly compare and contrast what’s happening now with a similar situation in the past. This means that you can recall solutions, memories, and impressions that connect with the current situation. You like life to be stable, routine, and calm. In contrast, extrapolating new possibilities and trying new things can make you  nervous and uneasy. Dwelling on theories and concepts can be entertaining for a short amount of time, but then you want to snap back to reality and focus on what you trust and know through experience. You might be unsure of your potential or the potential of an idea that’s never been tried before. You may feel insecure in new environments that have nothing familiar about them.}\n{assign(description1b):You might prematurely judge Intuitive-Perceiving personality types as flighty, unrealistic, and out of touch with reality. In contrast, they may see you as stuck in your routine, overly-cautious, and narrow-minded. When you both realize that you are seeing two different sides to the same coin then you can begin to grow and appreciate each other’s perspectives.}\n{assign(description1c):When this happens you become uncharacteristically focused on future possibilities and tragedies. You might see nothing but negative possibilities lying ahead of you and you may catastrophize all the ways that something could go wrong. Unlike the ENxP, you don’t see positive potential everywhere – your premonitions and ideas tend to have a tinge of darkness and fear.}\n{assign(description1d):Description 1d}\n{assign(description1e):Description 1e}\n{assign(description1f):Description 1f}\n{assign(description1g):Description 1g}\n{assign(description1h):Description 1h}\n\n{assign(term2):Introverted Intuition}\n{assign(xx2):Ni}\n{assign(title2):ESTPs and ESFPs – Inferior Introverted Intuition (Ni)}\n{assign(description2a):As an ESxP, you focus primarily on the present moment and all the experiences and opportunities available to you right now.  You like to be active and immersed in everything life has to offer. You want to touch, taste, and enjoy life every minute of the day. “Seize the day!” would be your motto and you try to live life to the fullest. Because this is your nature, you tend to feel uncomfortable when you have to predict far into the future. Making guesses about your future and long-term commitments feels like a ridiculous gamble to you. What if you change your mind? What if your circumstances change? You tend to fixate on what you can do *now* rather than what you could do *then*.}\n{assign(description2b):Because you experience Introverted Intuition in an inferior sense, you can have difficulties understanding where Intuitive-Judging personality types are coming from. You might perceive them as unrealistic, out of touch, and removed. They, in turn, might see you as shallow, pleasure-seeking, and out-of-touch with the implications of your actions.}\n{assign(description2c):During periods of intense or chronic stress, you might slip into the grip of your inferior function. When this happens, you become uncharacteristically gloomy and distant. Rather than enjoying what life has to offer you suddenly see nothing but a negative future ahead of you. You can see nothing but darkness and confusion and, as a result, you may detach from the activities you’d normally enjoy.}\n{assign(description2d):Description 2d}\n{assign(description2e):Description 2e}\n{assign(description2f):Description 2f}\n{assign(description2g):Description 2e}\n{assign(description2h):Description 2h}\n\n{assign(term3):Extroverted Sensing}\n{assign(xx3):Se}\n{assign(title3):INFJs and INTJs – Inferior Extraverted Sensation (Se)}\n{assign(description3a):As an INxJ you easily sense the ripple-effects of current actions and experiences. Where certain types focus more on the present (xSxPs for example) you focus intensely on the future. You enjoy predicting, anticipating, and looking beneath the surface for patterns and possibilities. Because you are so fixated on the future, you tend to struggle when it comes to staying in the present. You may overlook details of your environment, or miss out on experiences that provide fun and enjoyment because you’re too busy thinking ahead. You may get so absorbed in looking for a deeper meaning behind something that you fail to see that the answer is right on the surface. Focusing on the details around you and looking at life in order to experience it in the present can make you feel bored and unfulfilled.}\n{assign(description3b):Your inferior function can also show up in your relationships with other personality types. You might clash with Sensing-Perceiving types because you want to anticipate distant future scenarios while they want to stay grounded in the present. You might perceive them as shallow, distractible, or blind to implications. In contrast, they might see you as removed, overly-serious, and blind to the present moment.}\n{assign(description3c):During periods of extreme or chronic stress, you may find yourself behaving differently than usual. When this happens, you may be in the grip of your inferior function. During inferior Sensation eruptions, you can become impulsive, reckless, and hedonistic. You might binge eat, drink, spend recklessly, or look for some high-sensory impulsive experience. Some INxJs find healthier outlets for their grip experiences – cleaning, exercising, or listening to loud music while driving.}\n{assign(description3d):Description 3d}\n{assign(description3e):Description 3e}\n{assign(description3f):Description 3f}\n{assign(description3g):Description 3g}\n{assign(description3h):Description 3h}\n\n{assign(term4):Introverted Sensing}\n{assign(xx4):Si}\n{assign(title4):ENFPs and ENTPs – Inferior Introverted Sensation (Si)}\n{assign(description4a):As an ENxP, you are an innovator who lives in a world of possibilities, ideas, and aspirations. In your eagerness to generate new possibilities, however, you can lose sight of existing solutions, details, and physical needs. For example, you might frequently forget to eat, take certain medications, or file your taxes on time. Performing simple everyday tasks can feel like an enormous burden to you because it forces you to step out of your dominant function (Extraverted Intuition) and into your inferior function (Introverted Sensation). Paying attention to minute details, repeating processes, and tuning into your physical needs can feel boring and under-stimulating because you crave a sense of novelty, adventure, and exploration.}\n{assign(description4b):Your inferior function may also show up in judgments you make about others. Types who have powerful Introverted Sensation (SJ types) may seem dull, stuck in their ways, or nitpicky to you. You may struggle to find similar topics to discuss because you are naturally focused on exploring theories, possibilities, and concepts and they are more interested in discussing real-life details and experiences.}\n{assign(description4c):During extreme or chronic stress, you may wear out your normal ways of thinking. When this happens, you experience a “grip episode.” During these episodes, your inferior function takes over and tries to run your life. You might suddenly become obsessed with minutiae, nitty-gritty details, and past experiences and memories. You might also become hyper-focused on the sensations you feel inside your body, becoming worried that small discomforts are a sign of a more serious problem.}\n{assign(description4d):Description 4d}\n{assign(description4e):Description 4e}\n{assign(description4f):Description 4f}\n{assign(description4g):Description 4g}\n{assign(description4h):Description 4h}\n\n{assign(term5):Extroverted Feeling}\n{assign(xx5):Fe}\n{assign(title5):INTPs and ISTPs – Inferior Extraverted Feeling (Fe)}\n{assign(description5a):As an IxTP you enjoy understanding systems, theories, and how things work. Whether you’re taking apart a car engine to understand its mechanisms or learning a new art form, understanding how things fit together is essential to you. Of less concern is how people are feeling, what’s socially acceptable, and whether or not the atmosphere around you is harmonious. Having to delve into someone else’s emotional experience can feel overwhelming and awkward to you. That’s because this forces you out of your dominant function (Ti) and into your inferior function (Fe).}\n{assign(description5b):Your inferior function may show up in relationship issues that arise as well. When you’re dealing with people with powerful Fe (xxFJ types) you might feel that they are people-pleasing, illogical, or overly concerned with social expectations. If you have to come to an agreement with an xxFJ type, you both will be coming from different angles. They might feel like you’re only focusing on what’s logical for you without taking other people’s needs into account. You, in turn, might feel that they are focusing too much on what other people need and not enough on what’s logical for themselves.}\n{assign(description5c):You may become uncharacteristically focused on how other people are responding to you. You  might crave affirmation and harmonious interactions and look for ways to get positive feedback. You might find yourself being strongly affected by the moods of others and feeling less grounded in your reasoning and logic. This tends to be extremely uncomfortable and confusing for you because, during these phases, your normal way of thinking seems distant and inaccessible.}\n{assign(description5d):Description 5d}\n{assign(description5e):Description 5e}\n{assign(description5f):Description 5f}\n{assign(description5g):Description 5g}\n{assign(description5h):Description 5h}\n\n{assign(term6):Introverted Feeling}\n{assign(xx6):Fi}\n{assign(title6):ENTJs and ESTJs – Inferior Introverted Feeling (Fi)}\n{assign(description6a):As an ExTJ, you consider yourself a “doer” more than a dreamer. You enjoy organizing your life for efficiency and effectiveness. You can easily condense any problem or decision down to a yes or no answer, and you easily sense the logical cause and effects of various options. Because of this, you can become so fixated on doing and achieving that you lose sight of your core values and personal needs. You might struggle with workaholism or become brash in your decisions – choosing what’s logical over what aligns with your values or the values of others. Dwelling on your feelings about things can feel like a waste of time because it’s not accomplishing anything on your to-do list.}\n{assign(description6b):Your inferior function can also show up in your relationships and friendships with other personality types. You might struggle to come to agreements with Feeling-Perceiving personality types because you’re both looking at the opposite side of the coin in decisions. You may see them as overly sensitive, unproductive, or too fixated on their feelings. Likewise, they may find you insensitive, pushy, or out of touch with your feelings.  The truth is that both of you have an equally valuable perspective to bring to the situation so if you can respect it and learn from each other your decisions can be much more effective in the long run.}\n{assign(description6c):During these episodes, your inferior function takes over your personality and you lose touch with your normal way of thinking. Decisions become harder and you become more wrapped up in your feelings. You may isolate yourself, become more introspective, and feel especially alone and without help from others.}\n{assign(description6d):Description 6d}\n{assign(description6e):Description 6e}\n{assign(description6f):Description 6f}\n{assign(description6g):Description 6g}\n{assign(description6h):Description 6h}\n\n{assign(term7):Extroverted Thinking}\n{assign(xx7):Te}\n{assign(title7):INFPs and ISFPs – Inferior Extraverted Thinking (Te)}\n{assign(description7a):As an IxFP you’re someone who strives to live in alignment with your deeply-held values. You think about what’s right or wrong, how choices will impact people, and you search for emotional resonance and meaning. Because you have inferior Te, you are less concerned with making your life efficient, structured, and organized. Focusing on the impersonal logic and effectiveness of things tends to feel dull and monotonous to you. You may have a difficult time organizing tasks so that they can get done in a timely manner. You may also struggle when you have to critique someone’s work or make a strategic decision. While you like having a sense of control and order in your life, it can feel overwhelming and boring to focus on such things because it forces you out of your dominant function (Fi) and into your inferior function (Te)}\n{assign(description7b):Your inferior function may show up in judgments you make about other personality types as well. You might see types who have powerful Extraverted Thinking (xxTJ types) as overbearing, hasty, or rigid. You might feel like they are only seeing “one side of the coin” while they are thinking the exact same thing about you! You may struggle if you have to make decisions alongside a TJ personality type because you’ll both be looking at completely different criteria.}\n{assign(description7c):During these times, Te will take control of your personality because your feeling side is too depleted. When this happens, you become uncharacteristically focused on accomplishment, rewards, and task completion. You can become more critical, harsh, and direct. Rather than focusing on your values or the emotional needs of others, you fixate on efficiency and can become impatient and hasty in your judgments.}\n{assign(description7d):Description 7d}\n{assign(description7e):Description 7e}\n{assign(description7f):Description 7f}\n{assign(description7g):Description 7g}\n{assign(description7h):Description 7h}\n\n{assign(term8):Introverted Thinking}\n{assign(xx8):Ti}\n{assign(title8):ENFJs and ESFJs – Inferior Introverted Thinking (Ti)}\n{assign(description8a):As an ExFJ you are innately aware of the emotional and physical needs of the people around you. You naturally make decisions by prioritizing the needs of people, considering how they will be affected, and the emotional impact they will experience. In contrast, dealing with impersonal facts and principles can be boring or frustrating for you. You might feel vulnerable or of poor confidence when you have to reason something out loud or troubleshoot a complicated, impersonal problem. Debating, critiquing, or evaluating impersonal information can feel pointless or boring to you because it’s pulling you out of your dominant function (Extraverted Feeling) and into your inferior function (Introverted Thinking).}\n{assign(description8b):Your inferior function can also show up in your relationships with other personality types. You might clash with people who have powerful Introverted Thinking (xxTP types) because you come from very different perspectives when you make decisions. While you prioritize the feelings of people and your values, they prioritize consistency with their logical principles. You might feel like they are being needlessly difficult or putting themselves above the needs of the group. In return, they may feel that you’re being too people-pleasing or illogical.}\n{assign(description8c):During periods of extreme or chronic stress, you might fall “into the grip” of your inferior function. This happens because you have worn out your dominant or auxiliary functions and the inferior rises up to the surface. When this happens, you become uncharacteristically critical, detached, and withdrawn. You become fixated on finding truth, understanding how something works, and being unaffected by others so you can think clearly.}\n{assign(description8d):Description 8d}\n{assign(description8e):Description 8e}\n{assign(description8f):Description 8f}\n{assign(description8g):Description 8g}\n{assign(description8h):Description 8h}\n\n\n\n\n{assign(ne):~{term1}~{xx1}~{title1}~{description1a}~{description1b}~{description1c}~{description1d}~{description1e}~{description1f}~{description1g}~{description1h}}\n\n{assign(ni):~{term2}~{xx2}~{title2}~{description2a}~{description2b}~{description2c}~{description2d}~{description2e}~{description2f}~{description2g}~{description2h}}\n\n{assign(se):~{term3}~{xx3}~{title3}~{description3a}~{description3b}~{description3c}~{description3d}~{description3e}~{description3f}~{description3g}~{description3h}}\n\n{assign(si):~{term4}~{xx4}~{title4}~{description4a}~{description4b}~{description4c}~{description4d}~{description4e}~{description4f}~{description4g}~{description4h}}\n\n{assign(fe):~{term5}~{xx5}~{title5}~{description5a}~{description5b}~{description5c}~{description5d}~{description5e}~{description5f}~{description5g}~{description5h}}\n\n{assign(fi):~{term6}~{xx6}~{title6}~{description6a}~{description6b}~{description6c}~{description6d}~{description6e}~{description6f}~{description6g}~{description6h}}\n\n{assign(te):~{term7}~{xx7}~{title7}~{description7a}~{description7b}~{description7c}~{description7d}~{description7e}~{description7f}~{description7g}~{description7h}}\n\n{assign(ti):~{term8}~{xx8}~{title8}~{description8a}~{description8b}~{description8c}~{description8d}~{description8e}~{description8f}~{description8g}~{description8h}}\n\n{embed(title):\n{all({args}!=ne|{args}!=ni|{args}!=se|{args}!=si|{args}!=fe|{args}!=fi|{args}!=te|{args}!=ti):MBTIs and their matching {command1} ({command2}) function}\n\n{any({args}==ne|{args}==fi|{args}==ti|{args}|{args}==ni|{args}==se|{args}==si|{args}==te|{args}==fe):{HomeTitle}}\n}\n\n{embed(description):\n{all({args}!=ne|{args}!=ni|{args}!=se|{args}!=si|{args}!=fe|{args}!=fi|{args}!=te|{args}!=ti):\n__MBTIs and their matching {command1} ({command2}) function__\n```ISxJ ---> {command1} Ne\nESxP ---> {command1} Ni\nINxJ ---> {command1} Se\nENxP ---> {command1} Si\n\nIxTP ---> {command1} Fe\nExTJ ---> {command1} Fi\nIxFP ---> {command1} Te\nExFJ ---> {command1} Ti```\n__To see a description MBTI types and their {command} function__:\n- Follow the command `?{command}` with\n`ne`, `ni`, `se`, `si`\n`te`, `ti`, `fe`, `fi`\n\n--> e.g. `?{command} ne`\n\n**Make sure the cognitive function is in lowercase**\nCommand Used\n`?{command} {args}`}\n\n\n{any({args}==ne|{args}==ni|{args}==se|{args}==si|{args}==fe|{args}==fi|{args}==te|{args}==ti|{args}==ne1|{args}==ni1|{args}==se1|{args}==si1|{args}==fe1|{args}==fi1|{args}==te1|{args}==ti1):\n**{{args}(4):~}**\n\n{{args}(5):~}\n\n{{args}(6):~}\n\n**How {{args}(2):~} Can Show Up During Stress:**\n{{args}(7):~}\n\nCommand Used\n`?{command} {args}`}\n}",
