In this episode, Joel and Antonia talk about diving deeper into all 8 cognitive functions and posit a growth path for personal growth using your shadow functions.

In this podcast you’ll find:

  • Upward trends of MBTI and typology as means for personal growth and development.
  • How much growth do people do beyond the first two cognitive functions?
  • The ideal relationship you can have with your cognitive function stack.
  • Recent coaching course with Dr. Dario Nardi and his new book, The Magic Diamond: creating a map of development for all 8 cognitive functions.
  • Is growth through the Shadow functions possible?
  • Does our Dominant function ever trip us up?
  • Benefits of building flow for your Dominant (Driver) function.
  • How growing your Auxiliary (Co-pilot) function turns it into a gift.
  • Why Dr. Nardi’s sequence for growth appears nonlinear.
  • How your Tertiary (10 yr old) and Inferior (3 yr old) functions grow through the tension of the function polarities.
  • The difficult remodeling work of growing your 6th function:
    • Introverted Thinking (Ti) vs Extraverted Thinking (Te)
    • Introverted Sensing (Si) vs Extraverted Sensing (Se)
    • Introverted Feeling (Fi) vs Extraverted Feeling (Fe)
    • Introverted Intuition (Ni) vs Extraverted Intuition (Ne)
  • How can your 5th function have natural, complementary growth?
  • The power of making space for your lower functions.
  • Making the unconscious, conscious.
  • Surrendering to your 7th and 8th functions’ existence.

    What has been really interesting for me is being married to an INTJ as an ENTP. I am seeing a lot of this happening naturally for the both of us after being married for 13+ years.

    Ti growth for her and Te growth for me has definitely occurred just by us moving through life together. I am using more task management apps that make a game out of setting goals and steps to accomplishing projects because I have seen the benefit of my wife setting these long range personal goals that get her out of bed and make her passionate in researching and planning. She actually brings things to the world that people enjoy.

    I have had INTJ moments in my life more often just as she is having more ENTP moments in hers.

    We ordered Dario’s book and are really curious to see what he has updated since his last tome of knowledge in this field. Neuroscience of Personality.

    Thank you for another thought provoking and informative podcast.

    As an INFP, I can see that my 5th function (Fe) is pretty easily integrated. It’s not my preferred way of using F, but I can do it when it serves the situation and I don’t have a strong aversion to it.

    But as for having an aversion to my 6th function (Ni), what does that even look like? Obviously as an introverted feeler dominant, I’m used to and skilled at going inside myself to contemplate…so how are some ways that resisting introverted intuition could show up?
