In this episode, Joel and Antonia talk about the 3-Year-Old inferior cognitive function for each of the 16 personality types (part 1).
In this podcast you’ll find:
- ENPs value their freedom.
- They like to explore and pivot to new things.
- Sometimes freedom can be excessive and limiting.
- Car Model
- Inferior Cognitive Function – 3 yr old
- For ENPs, Introverted Sensing is their inferior function
- Linda Berens calls the 3 yr old our “Aspiration.”
- To gain traction in our lives, sometimes we have to honor that 3 yr old process.
- There is a lot of resistance we feel when we are trying to access the 3 yr old.
- It should be about creating balance. Never sacrifice your driver in preference for your 3 yr old.
- When it comes to our tertiary and inferior cognitive functions, it shouldn’t be about developing as much as visiting. 5-10%
- We can never develop our back seat functions as well as someone who has them as a strength.
- Back seat passengers will always be blunt weapons we have rudimentary use of.
- Our inferior function still has some control over us. Shine some light on it.
- Our 3 yr old is one of the most vulnerable parts of who we are.
- There is wisdom in creating a life that keeps us in our Driver and Copilot.
- Spending too much time in the inferior can create depression.
- The 3 yr old should occupy about 5-10% of your life

for me as intp my 3yo is fe harmony. it needs to be satisfied by authentic connection in relationships. but i have zero skill in the outer world to build a social relationship in order to satisfy my needs. it preoccupies me more than 5-10% because i miss it very much. maybe as a woman it s even more difficult. even if i am indeed not interested in social status (so things like reputation, competence feeling, selling oneself are irrelevant for me), personal relationships are a real challenge for me and i don t find my way through it… what do you advise me to do in order to create deep links with people in friendship and love fields? thank you!
Thank you!
Your advice (for IFPs) on how to use effectiveness as an aspiration was really good. Gathering a group or joining one to be able to accomplish bigger projects is also a way to throw the hat over the fence – as was said somewhere.
