As an INiFeJ I have Ti and Se as (demons) alterior and tertiary functions (apparently).
But, where does that leave Ne, Fi, Si and Te?
Are those just so far from me, they are alien!?
Is my Se really stronger than my Ne? Really? I'm more likely to reach for extroverted sensation rather than exploration and experimentation!?!?! That can't be right, really? Introverted and extroverted intuition seem to me so friendly that I'd think that an Ni in a room with an Ne and an Se, the Ni and the Ne are going to hit it off before the Se gets a chance. The Ni is going to run into experimentation with Ne and enjoy himself and be bored with the Se, completely.
Likewise I imagine for like an ISTJ. Their Ne is pathetic. Their Si goes into a room with Se and Ne and the Si is going to find a home with Se first and straight away!!
I haven't heard anyone talk about "shadow functions."
The four functions that are not part of your stack.
It seems to me that these shadow functions are more your friends than your 3 year old; at least the shadow of your primary function.
The ISTJ is going to play with Se way more than Ne , no doubt. Just like us ISTJs will dabble with Ne way more than Se.
Is there any teaching on this subject out there???
