I just wanna have a thread about this okay!

Cognitive functions are already present in the child
The child doesn't know how to use them
The child tends to function use references:
  • Tranquil Figure
  • Authoritative Figure
  • Well Defined
  • Poorly Defined

and environmental feedback:
  • introverted functions = externally rewarded
  • extroverted functions = internally rewarded

INFJ

Sponge Stage [Se(Ni)-Fi-Fe]
  • Ti > af/pd (no feedback) objective detachment to function
  • Te > af/wd (negative feedback) subjective detachment to function
  • Fi-Fe > tf/pd (conflicting feedback) objective attachment to function
  • Se-Ni > tf/wd (positive feedback) subjective attachment to function
Ne-Si > (vaguely demonstrated) running in the background

Coral stage [Fe-Ti-Se(Ni)]
The child begins to stabilize function stack to lessen energy exhaustion
objectively detached Ti's preference of Fe over conflicting Fi
Fi becomes backup to Fe
new associations formed
Ti gains subjective attachment via Se
Ni becomes background function
  • positive feedback
  • stabilization
  • negative feedback
  • introverted background functions summoned to receive external reward
  • Si is used
  • negative feedback persists
  • Si becomes unhealthy


Turtle stage [Ni-Fe]
The child re-evaluates environment
Problems are ascertained
Fe-Ti-Se unable to solve the problem
The child draws back and begins to explore
Ni set-up
seek nullification of negative feedback via Ni
Fe supports Ni premises
Ni-Fe builds identity
Se's priority weakens
  • positive feedback
  • stabilization

Fish Stage [Ni-Fe-Ti-Se]
Ti-Se redeemed
  • new associations formed
  • positive feedback
  • stabilization


INTJ

Sponge Stage [Se(Ni)-Ti-Te]

  • Te > af/wd (negative feedback) subjective detachment to function
  • Ti-Te > tf/pd (conflicting feedback) objective attachment to function
  • Se-Ni > tf/wd (positive feedback) subjective attachment to function
Ne-Si > (vaguely demonstrated) running in the background

Coral stage [Te-Fi-Se(Ni)]
The child begins to stabilize function stack to lessen energy exhaustion

  • positive feedback
  • stabilization
  • negative feedback
  • introverted background functions summoned to receive external reward
  • Si is used
  • negative feedback persists
  • Si becomes unhealthy

INFP

Sponge Stage [Te(Fi)-Ni-Ne]
  • Si > af/pd (no feedback) objective detachment to function
  • Se > af/wd (negative feedback) subjective detachment to function
  • Ni-Ne > tf/pd (conflicting feedback) objective attachment to function
  • Te-Fi > tf/wd (positive feedback) subjective attachment to function
Fe-Ti > (vaguely demonstrated) running in the background

Coral stage [Ne-Si-Te(Fi)]
The child begins to stabilize function stack to lessen energy exhaustion

Ni becomes backup to Ne
new associations formed
Si gains subjective attachment via Te
becomes background function
  • positive feedback
  • stabilization
  • negative feedback

mostly based on Cognitive Theory with a dash of Miso's unfounded confabulations, cloudy observations and swift judgment...
now quick, leave before the fire swells!
