Cognitieve functies begrijpen
De bouwstenen van het persoonlijkheidstype
Wat zijn cognitieve functies?
Cognitieve functies zijn de mentale processen die we gebruiken om informatie waar te nemen en beslissingen te nemen. Elk MBTI-type gebruikt 4 van de 8 functies in een specifieke volgorde die een "stack" wordt genoemd.
Waarneming (N/S)
Waarnemingsfuncties (N en S) bepalen hoe we informatie opnemen — via intuïtie of waarneming.
Oordeel (T/F)
Oordeelsfuncties (T en F) bepalen hoe we beslissingen nemen — via denken of voelen.
Introvert
Introverte functies richten zich naar binnen op subjectieve ervaring.
Extravert
Extravert functies richten zich naar buiten op de objectieve wereld.
