INTJ squad By horyokun Watch

I personified how the four cognitive functions of the INTJ (or at least my own) appear.



Ni: Introverted intuition is the hero and I see mine as an ever-curious force that filters every bit of information through a lens of personal impressions and predictions. To symbolize this, Ni is carrying two items: a mini telescope which peers into patterns and trends to inform judgments; Ni is also carrying a toy sword, which it envisions as a tool of power, albeit a bit more abstract and glowy. My Ni is the seat of all of my creative processes: it is the incubator, generator, and informer of ideas. My Ni offers me the ability to construe information in ways that are valuable to my decision making process, often consolidating and distilling patterns before conceptualizing generalities and hidden implications. All the same, it has a childlike, novelty-seeking curiosity and self-centeredness that is so integral to my personality.



Te: Extroverted thinking is the guide. Whereas the hero leads the troupe, the guide directs and channels the hero's efforts, often tempering or promoting it. In this case, Te is the arm that plans and organizes based on Ni's projections. In one hand Te holds a cell phone with which it is orchestrating activities and executing plans; in the other, Te is holding a briefcase full of plans, goals, and neatly-filed-away relevant data. My Te is less combative and belligerent than others, but it is just the same as calculating, empirical, and organizing. My Te maintains a plan of action to secure and protect the team. Te knows that Ni is often irrational and demands substantiation of certain courses of action before allowing it to occur. Te maintains a level of objectivity that Ni dismisses when its conclusions are forgone. In face of a challenge that Ni cannot deconstruct, Te will step in and fight or figure a way out.



Fi: introverted feeling is the child. Ironically, although Ni is depicted as the child and Fi is depicted as older, their roles in my mental schemes are reversed. The child influences the hero, heavily, but in a way that escapes notice unless the parent and hero critically introspect. Fi is the internal driver of my personal values and the propagator of my passions (conceived by Ni). As such, I see Fi as a quiet actor who emotes and expresses itself in invisible ways that push Ni to obsess and overanalyze. My Fi pushes Ni to seek some self-ascribed meaning beyond just implications and impressions. If my Ni continues to ask "why" then Fi is the driving force. At the same time, Fi validates Ni and the actions of Te, often being the heart behind the team and defending it viciously when something is challenged. Fi is not holding anything (other than a dramatized expression) which symbolizes how complex, confusing, and influential it is to the team. Fi does have a wooden sword on its waist and a skull, both as symbols of its role as the motivator and the compass.



Se: Extroverted sensing is the inferior. The inferior Se clamors for Ni and Te to act. Se is the most mysterious of all three functions (hence why its face is mostly obscured). Although suppressed, Se will find ways to leak out and cause trouble. When Ni is challenged and Te is stuck, Se will make decisions (poor or not) because it can. Se is also observant and hyperaware, reacting in ways that are often too rapid for Ni to handle; often, Ni and Se combined create a tunnel-vision duo that will land itself into trouble. When not looking for momentary thrills, Se will motivate the team to have leisure and pleasure; it is the hedonistic bad brother that steers the team off its tracks. When Ni and Te need the counsel of Se, it becomes a major asset, often picking up on cues and tons of information for Ni and Te to sort out. In this depiction, Se has two handles in its hands which control the jetpack on its back. Se is always ready to go and ready to go fast.



Together, they make me.
