The Cognitive Functions

Jungian cognitive functions describe the different ways in which we perceive and process information, and how we make decisions based on that information. When we develop these functions, we gain unique skills that can be considered as intelligences. And when we use them in a way that motivates us, we experience what psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi calls “flow” – that wonderful feeling of being fully engaged in an activity that challenges us just the right amount.

So, let’s take a look at the eight cognitive functions:

  1. Introverted iNtuition (Ni): Existential intelligence, motivated by understanding the why of something or forming a theory about something.
  2. Extroverted iNtuition (Ne): Linguistic intelligence, motivated by learning something new and exploring possibilities.
  3. Introverted Sensing (Si): Visual-Spatial intelligence, motivated by organizing and recalling detailed information.
  4. Extroverted Sensing (Se): Naturalistic intelligence, motivated by improvising based on what’s most urgent in the moment.
  5. Introverted Thinking (Ti): Logical-Mathematical intelligence, motivated by analyzing pros and cons to find the correct answer.
  6. Extroverted Thinking (Te): Business intelligence, motivated by making decisions that will move us forward.
  7. Extroverted Feeling (Fe): Interpersonal intelligence, motivated by collaboration and building relationships.
  8. Introverted Feeling (Fi): Intrapersonal intelligence, motivated by understanding and honoring individual needs and values.

Each function has its own unique strengths and motivations, and developing them can help us become more well-rounded individuals. So, which functions do you resonate with the most? Let’s find out and start developing them!
