In this episode, Joel and Antonia talk about the idealism and paradox of each Jungian Judging Function.

In this podcast you’ll find:

  • Why there is contradiction mixed into each judging (decision-making) cognitive function.
  • What the judging functions are: Introverted Thinking (Accuracy), Extraverted Thinking (Effectiveness), Introverted Feeling (Authenticity) and Extraverted Feeling (Harmony).
  • How are there paradoxes in these functions?
    • What each judging function is dealing with.
    • How these functions are influencing us.
    • Are each judging function’s ideals even attainable?
    • When obsession or compulsion strikes the judging functions.
  • What is Introverted Feeling (Authenticity) contradictorily seeking?
    • Joel’s (ENFP) Introverted Feeling ideal and what corruption means to it.
    • What are the realities of Authenticity?
    • What makes Authenticity feel like being on a hamster wheel?
    • How the paradox affects Authenticity in the 3-year-old position (ExTJs).
    • What Authenticity can really obtain in the end.
  • Introverted Thinking’s (Accuracy) contradiction:
    • Antonia’s (ENTP) Accuracy challenge.
    • Why Accuracy has to make choices.
    • Why bias is such a bother.
    • The true gains Accuracy actually gets.
    • Why the 3-year-old position of Accuracy (ExFJs) should know this paradox.
  • What is Extraverted Feeling’s (Harmony) paradox?
    • The trap it faces.
    • Why prioritization plays a role in Harmony.
    • How Harmony users can understand the purposes of pain in life.
    • When Harmony seeks impossible outcomes.
    • The magic Harmony gains through its paradox.
    • What disruptive technology is available to Harmony?
  • The contradiction inherent in Extraverted Thinking (Effectiveness).
    • What Effectiveness is obsessed about.
    • Why perfect systems don’t really exist.
    • What happens to Effectiveness when corruption hits?
    • The outcome that transcends Effectiveness.
  • Why these function paradoxes are so worth experiencing.
    • Finding the incredible emergents that come through these contradictions.

    Very insightful! It paints a really good picture of all the judging functions. I really enjoyed this podcast. ?

    Thanks Guys,

    I am very concerned with the ideal of ‘perfect’ communication, wherein others grasp what you were intending to convey, and this isn’t just about word-choice. I have to communicate company policies, via web-page and print, and recently circulated a very tricky policy mentioning criminal liabilities, thinking this time I’d done it ‘efficiently’ (i.e. quickly, without too much pondering), only to regret it as being badly arranged and lacking sufficient clarity (someone’s query helped me realise this). I would later ‘fix’ the issues and re-distribute it, after having something of a meltdown at a team meeting!

    It would have been more ‘efficient’ and ‘effective’ to get it right the first time.

    To me the details of word-choice, arrangement and emphasis are very important, and I approach even composing relatively ‘dry’ company documents as if a form of creative writing – the words should ‘dance’ on the page, not fall down like lumpen corporate lead that people can barely remember 10 minutes later! Okay so people will probably still forget most of it either way, but it could be the difference between 10% and 20% retained!

    Please don’t take this as some sort of diagnosis, but your entire comment sounds very Te to me. (I know discovering your type preferences has been a struggle, and I suspect any nudge from a source you follow is helpful.)

    Right it is, Te is my judging function and is my auxiliary. I had Fi on the brain and was expressing my last thought from the podcast via Te or rather my thoughts were trailing down a rabbit hole. Good catch! Your Ti is well refined, based on your Ne input, I respect how much more experience you have than I do in typology.

    Being and INTJ, my judging function is Fi it can be more authentic then moral per se. I like being who I am. One of things I had to get over was allowing people to shame me for being authentic. If I’m a weirdo I’m a weirdo, I don’t care so much what other’s think as long as I’m not breaking any laws I’m OK with that.

    For those that don’t know your judging function is the co-pilot in the car model or your auxillary function.
