Inferior Function Fascination

Inferior Function Fascination

An interesting thing about the inferior function is that it can be a surprisingly noticeable part of a person’s personality.  I think people have a tendency to be fascinated by it.  I’d like to write about how each inferior function can show up in a positive way below.

ENXPs (inferior Si): Those with inferior Si can have a strong appreciation for things that remind them of positive experiences they’ve had in the past.  They can also have an appreciation for aesthetics and have sensory interests such as decorating, dance, etc.

IXFPs (inferior Te): Inferior Te can cause IXFPs to strongly admire efficiency and logic.  It may also cause them to be be good at leading groups of people.

EXTJs (inferior Fi): Inferior Fi can cause EXTJs to be interested in finding their identity and staying true to their values.  They may find that they enjoy emotional stories and making romantic gestures.

IXTPs (inferior Fe): People with inferior Fe may dislike social disharmony and take steps to avoid it.  They may be surprisingly interested in emotional stories as well.

INXJs (inferior Se): Inferior Se can lead to a love of beauty and sensory experience.  It may cause INXJs to have aesthetic or physical hobbies such as painting, dance, etc.

ESXPs (inferior Ni): Those with inferior Ni may show interest in discussing abstract topics and trust their intuition more than expected.  They may be interested in psychology or mystery novels.

EXFJs (inferior Ti): Inferior Ti can cause EXFJs to enjoy solving puzzles and challenging themselves.  They may also find themselves interested in how things work.

ISXJs (Inferior Ne): Inferior Ne may cause ISXJs to enjoy writing, travel, or anything that allows them to be creative and explore.  They may also be surprisingly spontaneous at times.

Favorite ASOIAF characters 1/?: Tyene Sand

I don’t think we talk enough about it being 100% ok to abandon your goals.

There is so much about keeping on trying and working hard and You Can Achieve Anything When You Put Your Mind To It which is a great sentiment. And for the large part its true and I don’t intend to contradict that when I say that look: sometimes you have to quit and that’s ok.

There is no virtue in pursuing a goal to the detriment of your health and happiness. Not every goal is attainable for you no matter how much you want it and it isn’t shameful to walk away from an aspiration that isnt working for you or is sapping your energy and it doesn’t feel worth it anymore.

You’re no less for changing your mind about something halfway through, or losing interest, or deciding other things are more of a priority than getting fit, running that marathon, getting into med school or whatever else you hoped to do. Forgive yourself, move on.

nice day to you, Jas! I'd like to ask for your assistance in casting someone for Tyene Sand from Game of Thrones, as I don't really agree with her series' portrayal; she's said to have "fair skin, golden hair and deep blue eyes", and I'd really like her to be a woman of color, so maybe you have some suggestions, who could play her? thank you in advance!

Of course! The Sand Snakes casting in the tv show was awful, I skipped seasons 3-6 tbh because I didn’t want to ruin my memory of the books. 

Ana de Armas (30) - Cuban

Jasmine Sanders (27) - African-American/ German

Stephanie Bertram Rose (23) -Portuguese & Senegalese, Angolan/ Belgian 

Mimi Elashiry (22) - Australian/ Egyptian

I hope one of these works for you! 

Tips on getting motivation back?

MOTIVATION IS A MYTH AND WILL NOT GET YOU WHERE YOU WANT TO BE.

Practice discipline and dedication. Know what you want and be willing to put in the work, even if you hate it.

Relying on motivation will leave your ass on the couch watching Netflix for 5 hours because you “don’t feel like studying/exercising/working” but dedication will tell you “bitch, get it together and get going!”

“You’re not my Dad!”

Hahahahaha
