Erik Thor’s Jungian Cognitive Functions Test 2023

My Cognitive Functions Test In Short

The eight intelligences are inspired by Carl Jung and Howard Gardner. Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences suggests that there are several ways in which humans can be smart. He identified eight distinct intelligences: linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic. Each intelligence is characterized by a different set of abilities.

Carl Jung developed eight different ways of thinking that people use to make decisions. These are called the eight cognitive functions and they help us understand how we think, act and make choices. They are: Thinking, Feeling, Sensing, Intuition. Each of these functions can have either an introverted or extroverted attitude.

I wanted to give a practical way of understanding the cognitive functions as unique distinct intelligences. I think the goal is to learn to use all of them effectively. The eight intelligences provide a way to understand how people think and learn. Each intelligence has its own strengths and weaknesses. We can all benefit from understanding and using all of the intelligences in our lives.

Extroverted Sensing

Extroverted Sensing is a Nature Intelligence that is used to make quick decisions at the moment based on what is happening around you. This intelligence gathers information from the environment and uses it to create an immediate understanding of what is happening. This allows you to respond quickly and effectively to the situation at hand. The goal of this function is to gain wisdom and insight through first-hand experience.

Introverted Sensing

Introverted Sensing is a Visual-Spatial Intelligence that requires you to observe in detail how to do something, creating a step-by-step process. This intelligence is all about taking in information through your senses and organizing it in your mind so that you can remember it and use it later. This can be especially helpful when learning new skills or tasks. The goal of this function is to come up with creative ways to bring order to chaos.

Introverted iNtuition

Introverted iNtuition is an Existential intelligence that allows you to speculate on what might happen or what the future might look like. It can draw conclusions based on little information. It can use abstract concepts and theories to explain practical events. It seeks original or unusual ways to look at a situation. The goal is to transform how we see and experience real life.

Extroverted iNtuition

Extroverted intuition is a linguistic intelligence that allows you to understand multiple perspectives and viewpoints. It learns quickly and translates and interprets information creatively. This intelligence is especially adept at understanding the nuance in language and can often come up with creative solutions to problems. The goal is to rearrange or change your environment in some manner.

Extroverted Feeling

Extroverted Feeling is an interpersonal intelligence that allows you to tell stories that move people and allows you to know how to motivate or inspire other people around you. By being able to read and understand the emotions of others, you can create narratives that evoke an emotional response in your listeners. You can also use your understanding of emotions to motivate and inspire others, helping them to achieve their goals. The goal is to learn from other people.

Introverted Feeling

Introverted Feeling is a way of understanding and processing emotions. It can be used to analyze and explain emotions in a nuanced manner, often using metaphors or analogies. It can be used artistically or through music. Introverted Feeling is a type of Intropersonal Intelligence. The more you use this function, the better you know yourself and the better decisions you can make. The goal is to make society and systems more ethical and humane.

Introverted Thinking

Introverted Thinking is a logical-mathematical intelligence that breaks down a situation logically, analyzes pros and cons, and assesses consequences. This intelligence is good at forming hypotheses and testing them through experimentation. It relies heavily on reason and factual evidence, making decisions based on cold, hard logic. The goal of this function is to help people solve problems smarter.

Extroverted Thinking

Extroverted Thinking is a systems intelligence that helps you understand how to effectively use tools and strategies to achieve goals and accomplish tasks fast. It can be used to make decisions and prioritize. The goal is to use systems in a utilitarian way, to improve your overall happiness and well-being.
