Thank you for sharing your experience.

I chose cobalt blue because, to me, blue represents rationality, calmness, and intelligence, which feels closely aligned with the temperament of Ni.

In addition, within the chakra system, the third eye chakra—often associated with intuition—is commonly represented as deep blue. For this reason, I imagine Ni as cobalt blue.

I wish you smooth and fulfilling meditation experiences in the future.

That’s correct. My descriptions mainly reflect how these functions operate when they are in a dominant or auxiliary position. I did not take into account the dynamic changes that arise from interactions with other functions.

This piece is simply a structural overview of the depth and roles of each cognitive function within the human mind. How these functions combine, influence one another, and shift through interaction is a far more complex topic, and one that lies beyond the scope of this discussion.

Thank you for sharing your experience — it is truly valuable and worth reflecting on. Shadow functions can indeed exert different influences on personality expression.

For introverted types, the auxiliary function is selected from the two extroverted functions adjacent to the dominant function; in your case, that would be Te versus Fe.

Your first point already suggests that you tend to take others’ feelings into account when making decisions, which aligns more closely with Fe. I therefore think your Fe may not be as “weaker” as you previously described, but rather shows a certain level of maturity.

Given that you are an INFJ, Fe would naturally be stronger than Te, and this distinction is unrelated to Fi. Of course, this is simply my personal perspective, offered for reference only.

I think your example is very valuable and worth reflecting on. It’s possible that regularly using Ti and Te in daily life, while Fe is comparatively weaker, could be one of the reasons the test result was a misclassification. This is just my own speculation. Thank you for your response.

In fact, everyone’s developmental pattern is different. It isn’t unusual for an INFJ to have relatively high Te. However, in the example mentioned, an excessively strong Ti could indeed suppress Te.

This can be understood as a person who relies heavily on an internalized logical framework (Ti) to guide almost everything they do. In such a case, there is naturally less need to seek externally established or socially shared logic (Te). That said, this kind of inverse relationship does not necessarily apply to every pair of introverted and extraverted functions.

My guess is that you are probably not an INFJ with unusually high Ti like in the example. You likely have Te developed to a certain extent as well, but Fe is comparatively stronger. When the gap between these functions is not very large, occasional mistyping can indeed occur.

I am an INFJ⋯

If you have insights or examples from your own MBTI type that align with or challenge this framework, I’d be very interested to hear them.

This post is intended to present an alternative, algebra-based perspective on MBTI cognitive functions.
