This article explains how to incorporate (synthesize) the fourth psychological function, which is the one that people struggle with the most.
Review: "Pairs of Psychological Functions"
The MBTI measures how an individual determines their preferences when facing situations by asking them to choose one of two answers to a given question, ultimately determining their type using a binary (choice) system.
Since we classify preference biases using a dichotomy, they will inevitably be assigned to one of two functions.
Functionally, they are opposite.Pairs of psychological functionsThis is the result. For specific pairs, please click below to check ↓
The four pairs of psychological functions
- Ne (Extroverted Intuition)(= "Look beyond the reality in front of you" and search for alternatives that don't already exist.)
⇕
Si (Introverted Sensing)(= "Looking only at the reality in front of you" and continuing with existing choices) - Ni (Introverted Intuition)(This involves perceiving changes in things from the past to the future and then predicting what will happen.)
⇕
Se (Extroverted Sensing)(This means confirming what is happening physically right in front of you at that moment.) - Te (extroverted thinking)(= Repeatedly improve and expand efficiently, no matter what the method is.)
⇕
Fi (introverted feeling)(This means adhering to one's own standards and carefully examining whether something meets those standards.) - Ti (introverted thinking)(To reveal the truth or falsity and mechanisms of things)
⇕
Fe (Extroverted Feeling(Rather than arguing about what is right or what should be done, we should prioritize harmony among people.)

Therefore, "there is a significant bias towards the first or fourth function, and the psychological function runs wild (First and fourth loops (also known as inferior grips)The following phenomenon occurs:
Integrating (synthesizing) psychological functions
When faced with a dichotomy of two options, choosing one means that if you like one, it's natural that you won't accept the other because you don't like it.
To solve thatIntegration (synthesis)That's all you need to do.
So, how exactly is synthesis performed?One approach is to integrate it into the psychological functions that one already possesses.That's it. You just need to nest them. In other words, you use the dominant function to enclose the inferior function. You can think of it as using the inferior function to fulfill the desires of the dominant function.
Here are some examples of actual nesting:
| type | Main function | Inferior function | Methods of integration (synthesis) |
| ESFJ (Sociable Type) ENFJ (Collaborator Type) | Fe (Extraverted Feeling) | Ti (introverted thinking) | To help many people and strengthen the bonds of human relationships (Fe), To maximize overall profits, we need efficient solutions and We must also consider cooperative relationships that will bring benefits (Ti). |
| ESTJ (Responsible type) ENTJ (Leader type) | Te (extroverted thinking) | Fi introverted feeling) | To handle things efficiently (Te), We take into consideration people's individuality and characteristics when doing work. Must be allocated (Fi) |
| ESFP (Optimist type) ESTP (Adventurer type) | Se (Extroverted Sensing) | NI (Introverted Intuition) | By focusing on the present moment and overcoming the challenges before you (Se), We must create eternity (Ni) |
| ENFP (Reformer type) ENTP (Inventor Type) | Ne (Extroverted Intuition) | Si (Introverted Sensing) | To open up new combinations and possibilities of things (Ne), Remember lots of experiences We must store the elements that form the basis of the combinations (Si). |
| ISFP (Artist type) INFP (Psychologist type) | Fi introverted feeling) | Te (extroverted thinking) | To realize the ideal (Fi), one must become efficient (Te). |
| ISTP (Practitioner type) INTP (Researcher Type) | Ti (introverted thinking) | Fe (Extraverted Feeling) | To discover and construct a system of truth (Ti), (Difficult to do alone) Some degree of help from others (Fe) is necessary. |
| ISFJ (Parental Type) ISTJ (Hardworking Type) | Si (Introverted Sensing) | Ne (Extroverted Intuition) | Even in unprecedented situations To handle it smoothly as if you've done it before (Si), I make it a point to see the underlying patterns in things on a daily basis. We need to keep a stock of patterns for body types (Ne) |
| INFJ (Empathy Type) INTJ (Strategist type) | NI (Introverted Intuition) | Se (Extroverted Sensing) | To create eternity with a vision (Ni), I must focus on the present moment and complete the tasks. |
Thus, it can be said that it is important to create nested structures based on the psychological functions that one originally possesses and then integrate them (synthesize them).
In the end, this will allow you to acquire a new thesis that integrates both aspects, which will help improve your life.
