Outside the box, jump out of the box to see the world
Last time we talked about the four perception functions in Jungian eight dimensions
Next we enter the four judgment functions
If the perception function recognizes things themselves
The judgment function recognizes the projection of things in one's brain
When the subject is using the perception function, the yardstick of understanding is "what is this"
When using the judgment function, the yardstick of understanding is "Is this right or wrong?
Whether it’s right or wrong depends on whether the projection in your brain matches your own existing criteria
Let’s discuss these functions one by one
The judgment function introduced first is Extraverted Thinking Te
Te is a judgment function
Utilitarian and purpose-oriented, benefit and efficiency as the principle
Te function uses objective standards as criteria for judgment and thinking
All actions are carried out around these objective principles
Te function is good at planning and prioritizing
Determine the reference standard, supervise the implementation, evaluate and adjust
Te believes that the world can be calculated
Mechanics (thinking that everything in the universe can be calculated), Taylor’s scientific management and planned economy
Are products of typical Te functions
The thinking process of Te function is a spiral structure of planning, execution, adjustment, re-planning, and re-execution
Next, I will introduce Ti, which is a kind of judgment function.
The object of this function of introverted thinking Ti is things
But it serves the inner spiritual world
This function itself is not of interest to external phenomena
But the ideas they represent
Behind Ti is a philosophical reductionist thought
Think that everything in the world can be simplified
Behind everything is universally inevitable
This function is good at repeatedly analyzing concepts and digging deeply
Gain insights into the fundamental properties of things, abandon the existing secular framework
Until I get a universal model that I refined and satisfies the inner spiritual system
Ti function pays more attention to the theoretical framework reasoning of the subject, rather than the actual situation of the outside world
Not satisfied with what everyone thinks is the right experience
Tend to logically judge whether things conform to one's own ideological criteria
Think that the laws of things must conform to their own transcendental logic
Because my own model is a product of simplifying
Ti often pulls the subject away from the current environment to make judgments, so it tends to be idealistic
The main thought process of Ti is to understand-delimit-fill system
Next, I will introduce the extraverted affective function Fe, which is also a judgment function
The standard of judgment is the moral standard of the public domain
Fe promotes the subject to reach an emotional consensus with others
Encourage the subject to adjust their emotions to adapt to an external need
Fe promotes attachment and belonging
Putting attention on others, satisfying others as a means to realize the subject's value
Fe is good at experiencing the feelings of others
Try to make others satisfied, the environment is harmonious, the team is harmonious
Care, care, team harmony, family and country feelings, and human unity are all the results of Fe function
Fe is a judgment function that points to others
Because it is easier to be accepted and recognized, it may be used to influence or even control others
The last judgment function introduced is the introverted emotion Fi
This is also the last function of Jung's mental type
Fi's judgment dimension is the measure of intrinsic emotional value
Fi is an inner experience, which has an emotional measure for everything outside
Follow the "stimulus-response" model
This mode is fierce, violent, and powerful
Once the main body of the outbreak is difficult to control, it is often suppressed
Show disguise under different stimuli
This also makes the environment often unaware that the subject's Fi is working
Fi’s simplicity is reflected in emotions and emotional likes and dislikes
The Fi of acquired training will be reflected in the form of sublimation
Self-awareness, life attitude, values, life thinking, etc. are all products of Fi
Well, the above are the four judgment functions
The criteria for judging te and fe are objective, and the criteria for judging ti and fi are subjective.
But no matter what the standard is
The judgment function has the action of comparing things with standards
To summarize, if the perception function determines what you can see
Then the judgment function determines what you can accept
The working object of the judgment function is the projection of things in the brain
When this projection is consistent with your own existing judgment mechanism
Judgment function can achieve a satisfactory state
Otherwise, it will filter or even completely reject such projections
This is why everyone wears unique cognitive tools
Not only the world you see is different
Even if the same, there will be different interpretations
It’s like two layers of filter paper covering everyone’s eyes
Let us all know the world like blind people touch the elephant
This is probably what the classic movie "Rashomon" directed by Akira Kurosawa wants to convey
Face the same thing
The different reactions of bandits, wives, and husbands are precisely that their different judgment functions play different filtering roles.
Each subject uses both the judgment function and the perception function
The order of strength of these functions is different
Different personality traits
Was developed into a more accessible MBTI personality type
We will explore this connection in the next issue
