Understanding the CodeUnderstanding the Code

• I or E - describes attitude of primary function.

• S or N - describes stronger perceiving function.

• T or F - describes stronger judging function.

• J or P - indicates which of the four functions is more extraverted-which is used to deal with the outer world.

• I or E - describes attitude of primary function.

• S or N - describes stronger perceiving function.

• T or F - describes stronger judging function.

• J or P - indicates which of the four functions is more extraverted-which is used to deal with the outer world.

• ESFJ• Extraverted function is primary.• Sensation is stronger than intution• Feeling is stronger than thinking.• Judging function used to deal with the

outside world is Feeling.• EF is primary; IS is auxilliary; EN is third; IT

is inferior function.
