Compare Your Cognitive Functions With Your Partner

There are eight mental processes (technically called “cognitive functions”) in the Myers-Briggs system.

Four help us learn new information, four help us make decisions.

Personality Hacker has assigned nicknames to these processes to make them easier to understand. They are:

Learning processes

• Introverted iNtuition – “Perspectives”
• Extraverted iNtuition – “Exploration”
• Introverted Sensing – “Memory”
• Extraverted Sensing – “Sensation”

Decision-making processes

• Introverted Thinking – “Accuracy”
• Extraverted Thinking – “Effectiveness”
• Introverted Feeling – “Authenticity”
• Extraverted Feeling – “Harmony”

Watch this video and then see if you and your partner can identify your dominant (Driver) cognitive function.

The cognitive functions are a great starting point for understanding your dynamics as a couple.

As we continue this mini-course, we will go deeper into the loops of behavior and mental fixations that also impact how type shows up for you and your partner.
