MBTI Overview

Understanding Cognitive Functions

In simple terms, cognitive functions are the underlying mental processes that define how each person prefers to use their mind. They describe how we:

  • Take in information (Perceiving)
  • Make decisions (Judging)

The popular model of 8 cognitive functions comes primarily from the work of Carl Jung and was later expanded upon by Isabel Briggs Myers (of Myers-Briggs Type Indicator - MBTI - fame). It's a key component of personality type theories like the MBTI and Keirsey Temperament Sorter.


The central idea is that everyone has a preferred, natural way of perceiving and judging, which leads to consistent patterns of behavior.
