If we are to use keywords to explain the 8 cognitive functions, what words will you use?
 
Fi - valuing individuality, feelings, and one's own values (the stronger the Fi, the more significant and important is the impact of personal feelings and values in the person's life.)

Fe - valuing group harmony, acting in ways that results in harmonious interactions

Si - good attention to important details about people & events results in good memory for such details from the past

Se - strong awareness of the physical world & want to interact with this world in the moment, attuned to what can be seen, heard, smelled, felt, touched

Ne - open-ended mental exploration, creative (no holds barred) brain-storming

Subject to revision-
Te- order
Ti- labels
Fe- mood
Fi- functionability
Ne- imagination
Ni- imagination
Se- objective
Si- sensation
 
  • Like
Reactions: Somnium
I don't know about these:

Ti - organizing and clarifying (posing) thoughts to ensure clarity and logical consistency

Te - organizing the outer environment of people and schedules to ensure maximum efficiency and consistency, begin with the end goal in mind and find a path that leads to that goal that is efficient and logically consistent

Ni - converges insight and undertanding from multiple sources/stimulants into a conclusion

ETA: These are kind of wordy. I don't know how to not elaborate on things without sacrificing clarity, but perhaps keywords can be derived from them nonetheless.

Fi - individuality (individual values)
Fe - consensus
Ni - converging ideas result in a conclusion
Ne - divergence of ideas (brainstorming) produces a possibility (possibility is the conclusion)
Si - awareness/memory recall of details used to produce impact in the outside world/on physical reality.
Se - acts upon what is physically visible/physically experienced in each moment
Ti - logical clarity
Te - using reasoning to produce efficient and consistent outcomes

WIP.

Let's see; mine is somewhat specialized, and perhaps a tad too ramblish, but ah well.
Ni : Vision, Facets
Ne : Possibility, Potential
Si : Rules, Example
Se : Chance, Momentum,
Ti : Theorems, Framework, Efficient
Te : Strategy, Blueprint, Effective
Fi : Quality, Desire, Decency
Fe: Values, Ideal,
