Dominant Function
The dominant function is the psychological function a person uses most habitually and has developed most fully under conscious control.
Tradition: Jungian
Auxiliary Function
The auxiliary function supports the dominant function by adding a different mode of perception or judgment and helping consciousness adapt more flexibly.
Sensation
Sensation is the Jungian function that perceives immediate concrete reality through the physical senses and awareness of bodily states.
Intuition
Intuition is the Jungian function that perceives possibilities, patterns, and implications through unconscious processes rather than direct sensory evidence.
Thinking
Thinking is the Jungian function that evaluates experience through concepts, logical relationships, and judgments about what something means.
Feeling
Feeling is the Jungian function that evaluates experience by assigning value: acceptable or unacceptable, important or unimportant, welcomed or rejected.
Introversion
Introversion is a Jungian attitude in which conscious energy and motivation give greater priority to the subject’s inner impressions, ideas, and standpoint.
Extraversion
Extraversion is a Jungian attitude in which conscious energy and motivation give greater priority to external people, events, objects, and shared conditions.
Jungian Dream Analysis
Jungian dream analysis explores a dream’s personal associations, structure, emotional context, and possible compensatory relationship to conscious life without using fixed symbol definitions.
Psychological Types
Jung’s psychological types combine two attitudes—introversion and extraversion—with four functions: thinking, feeling, sensation, and intuition.
