Kognitive Funktionen verstehen

Die Bausteine des Persönlichkeitstyps

Was sind kognitive Funktionen?

Kognitive Funktionen sind die mentalen Prozesse, mit denen wir Informationen wahrnehmen und Entscheidungen treffen. Jeder MBTI-Typ nutzt 4 der 8 Funktionen in einer festen Reihenfolge, die "Stack" genannt wird.

Wahrnehmung (N/S)

Wahrnehmungsfunktionen (N und S) bestimmen, wie wir Informationen aufnehmen – über Intuition oder Sensorik.

Urteil (T/F)

Urteilsfunktionen (T und F) bestimmen, wie wir Entscheidungen treffen – über Denken oder Fühlen.

Introvertiert

Introvertierte Funktionen richten sich nach innen auf subjektive Erfahrung.

Extravertiert

Extravertierte Funktionen richten sich nach außen auf die objektive Welt.
