    Without the dichotomies, there can be no cognitive functions, without the cognitive functions, there can be no dichotomies.

    What I have discovered is essentially subvariations inside a type depending on their strongest cognitive functions. All INFJ share the same four core values and should all relate in part to these descriptions.
