I recently read this passage in a Jungian Psychology book and it got me wondering about the INFJ inferior function.
"....the ego-Self axis and the symbolic life are encountered through the inferior function, the weakest portion of the personality. Only by awareness and acceptance of our weakness do we become conscious of something beyond the ego which supports us."
Edinger, Ego and Archetype pg 126
I know that some of us are well versed in mbti lingo and I was hoping to start a discussion about our inferior function, namely What exactly is it. I get conflicting information on this.
Also, once we agree on what it is, how does it allow unconscious content into our normal ego consciousness.
impulsive responses are encouraged!
