How the Quick Personality assessment determines your type.
According to Carl Jung's original framework, every person uses all eight functions — but in a specific order of preference.
| Code | Function | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Ni | Introverted Intuition | A prophetic experience of insights by which one is motivated. |
| Ne | Extraverted Intuition | A seeking out of possibilities and the optimal path forward. |
| Se | Extraverted Sensation | The height of lived experience, data acquisition, and aesthetic appeal. |
| Si | Introverted Sensation | Contrasts experiences via layering to determine alterations in reality. |
| Te | Extraverted Thinking | The formula or system by which all things are said to function together. |
| Ti | Introverted Thinking | Creatively seeking a means by which to get around difficult issues. |
| Fe | Extraverted Feeling | The value that is offered by people to each other so that they can be appreciated. |
| Fi | Introverted Feeling | The value that is intrinsic to the person which is kept safe. |
Rather than asking dozens of behavioral questions, our assessment narrows your type through four focused steps. Each step splits the field in half, guiding you from 16 possible types down to one.
We determine your energetic attitude: do you lean toward expending energy outward into the world, or preserving it inward?
We refine how that energy moves — whether you chase energy, generate value, inspect value, or simply observe.
We identify your dominant cognitive function — the one that sits at the top of your stack and most defines how you engage with the world.
We determine your supporting function — the second function that works alongside your dominant to define your unique lens on reality.
Every personality type has four "light edge" functions — the ones you use consciously — and four "shadow edge" functions that operate beneath awareness. Your opposite type on the Type Map feels the most foreign because their leading functions are exactly the ones deepest in your shadow.
