Am I right in thinking men and women are entirely different even if they belong to the same type? As an INFP male I didn’t connect much to her life story. Although I did tryhard to prove my Si and Te, which resulted in many cringe memories…
I listen to this now and again to remind myself I am not so unique that I am no longer human, since there are others who are wired like me. I chose to follow my dream as I said but in the place I live and the time I was 15 , there weren’t many choices; so as I decided I had a gift of drawing and portraiture and followed that into art teaching college though teaching was not my main goal, (it was there but much lower down my stack). I was totally misunderstood by family etc but when I did MBTI official test 30 years ago , I discovered why. I am just now looking to focus on what I originally intended to do after being exposed to so many options over 55 years. My values were often trodden on in a very ESTJ climate, but ultimately I get profusely excited about the absolute uniqueness of every single human being ever born and love to think of snowflakes as a reference point LOL , ( though I have yet to see snow),,,,,…….
I don’t have a clear inferior function. There are arguments for both Ne and Te being inferior. It is a case of a love/hate relationship with both, though I’ve got more of an idea about how to ‘do’ Te than Ne. I found the ‘grip’ descriptions in the book over-prescriptive. Everything seems to be based on everyone having one function they totally love with no ambivalence around it. I’m probably least ambivalent about Si, but at the same time don’t sense much ‘excitement’ around it. There’s more excitement around Fi but more fear and distrust as well.
Sometimes it’s hard to figure out what is being influenced by our Myers-Briggs wiring and our Enneagram type. But when it comes to sussing out our dominant versus tertiary function, I’d say ask 1) which function brings me intrinsic satisfaction to use (since we are chemically rewarded for using our dominant function), 2) which auxiliary function helps us feel like we’re meeting our current potential (since it will be a very different function), and 3) which function is more clearly our inferior (which grip behavior do we tend to struggle with).

I meant ‘catastrophize’.
