I think I saw somewhere a mention that the J/P -letter refers to the way how each type appears to the outside world. This is how it indeed seems to be as the letter always matches the kind of the first extraverted function: The driver of an extraverted type and the co-pilot of an introverted type. While I agree that as belonging to a social species, we humans are at least partially who we appear to be, but yet I think that we may have a different perception of ourselves internally. Since the dichotomy is about preference over inner order and external chaos or inner chaos and external order, it seems to emphasize the interconnectedness of the extraverted and intraverted sides of a personality.
I’m afraid I might be mixing things here but my goal is to understand why has it been decided that the strongest extraverted function should define the last letter of the type acronyms?
Thank you Antonia,
I’m not sure where I took a wrong turn there. After ignoring my own mess and re-asking myself where do all functions grave for freedom, the naming convention became more logical. It seems that the extraverted functions are easier to pinpoint in relation to freedom/order. According to this line of thought Si (Memory) would want inner freedom although one might think that memories require order for the ease of access. But here I’m probably mixing memory as function and as a repository.
For myself, it might be that the Ti-Ni loop and the overuse of Ni have emphasized the need for inner freedom. I can also imagine that in such situation the Se might be under-developed also in this sense. In other words, I’m not sure what inner order and structure look like for Ti. As you mentioned in the podcast, the idea of inner structure is hard to grasp.
Anyway, after these thoughts I do agree that the current naming convention is good while it contains this kind of deeper insight.
Even though functions weren’t discussed in this podcast, I’m going to because they raise some questions against this judger/perceiver -dichotomy. If one compares the functions of each type, one soon notices that the J/P letter of the type matches the kind of the strongest (driver) function for all the extraverted types but none of the introverted types. For the introverted types, the last letter (J/P) matches the kind of the second strongest (co-pilot) function. For example, the strongest function of an estP is Sensation (SE) which is a perceiving function but the strongest function of an istP is Accuracy (TI) which is a judging function and the perceiving Sensation-function comes only second.
This seems a bit illogical to me and makes me wonder. What am I not seeing in this picture? I can imagine two possibilities (and there are probably more)
1. There are deeper things in the system than the functions. One cannot only look at the functions or the function-polarities. The idea that the driver function has the most effect on all aspects of the personality is flawed.
2. There was a mistake in naming the introverted types but the system is so old that they cannot be corrected.
