Relying on only one psychological function will lead to a dead end.
Let's say you are a business owner.
To improve the company's performance (Te)for
↓
You ✖️ Te (extroverted thinking)) → To successfully complete the overall project, assign tasks to employees and ensure they work efficiently.
This is the truth, and it is correct.
However, we must keep in mind that this is only one of countless truths.For example, reallyTe (extroverted thinking)Can the project be successfully completed using only that?The unique characteristics of employees (Fi) and desired job type (FiIs it really possible to ignore that? Of course, it would be difficult.
In other words, when the president assigns work to employees
Te(To increase efficiency)FiIt's also important that individual employees focus on what they like and what they're good at, rather than what they dislike or are not good at.
Te (extroverted thinking) and Fi (introverted feeling) are opposite psychological functions (cognitive functions).However,nevertheless,A company will likely stagnate if it relies solely on technology.When a company heads straight down the path of becoming a "black company" (a company with exploitative working conditions), employee morale plummets, and even things that could have gone well start to go wrong.
In other words,Te (extroverted thinking)To truly unleash its full potentialFi (introverted feeling)toIntegration (synthesis)RequiredThat's right.
※Integration (synthesis)For more details, please see here ↓
Integrating (synthesizing) psychological functions
However, many people find themselves in the following dilemma:
- Te (extroverted thinking)→ Disregard what you want to do and focus on increasing efficiency.
- Fi (introverted feeling)→I want to do only what I like.
this is,Because people tend to prefer and use only one of them.Yes. Also,First function (main function) ↔︎Fourth function (inferior function)This puts me in a difficult position.I don't think you can turn left and right at the same time.is.
However, even ifEven if using the fourth function is difficult, there is no need to rely solely on using the first function. (When the use of psychological functions is skewed towards the use of only the dominant function, it means that only the dominant function is running rampant, which is even dangerous.)

In other words, to reiterate,Integration (synthesis) is necessary.That's the point.
To improve work efficiency and increase company profits
When assigning work to employees from above (Te),
↓
(Rather than focusing on what individual employees dislike or are not good at)
Allowing them to do what they like and what they're good at to a certain extent (Fi) is also important.
↓
Necessary to increase company profits (Te)
That's the point.
Conversely,For example, when you make your ideal a reality
To achieve your ideals (Fi), you need to learn the rules of society and process things efficiently (Te).That's also a valid point.
For example, in order to live as a manga artist or musician (Fi),
↓
To succeed, it's important to try anything and achieve results (Te).
for example
If you're a manga artist, rather than "your favorite manga"“To draw a manga that sells (Te),
For musicians, rather than "the music they want to make"“Creating and performing "music that sells" (Te)
↓
Important for making a living as a manga artist or musician (Fi)is.
In other words,Both (Te and Fi) are true (correct); it's simply a matter of perspective from which you view things.Furthermore,In achieving things, we can see a loop between the two (Te ⇄ Fi). Although they seem opposite, those who can integrate them realize that both are important.
To summarize.
“If you constantly use both your primary and quaternary functions in a contradictory manner (using only one of them), your use of psychological functions will become extremely inconsistent, shifting from primary to quaternary function.
ThereforeIntegration (synthesis)It is recommended to do so.It will be done.
