Type Dynamics

There is much more to personality type theory than the four preferences. ‘Type dynamics’ describes four basic psychological functions that everyone has, but use in different ways. Your current type dynamics are represented by your mental muscle diagram.

• The larger the bubble, the more you tend to use that function.
• When the bubble is to the left of the dotted line you are using it in the inner world of ideas and information (introversion).
• When the bubble is to the right, you are using the function in the outer world (extraversion).
• When bubbles are higher up, they have more influence on your personality.
• The function at the top of the diagram is the one in control (the 'dominant' function) and has a disproportionate effect on the whole personality.
• The function at the bottom tends to be problematic (the 'inferior' function) but is also a source of personal development.
