How Each Cognitive Function Manifests Based On Its Position In Your Stacking
A JUDGING Function
a. Extroverted THINKING
Dominant
As a dominant function, Te manifests as the ability to clearly envision the most effective outcome to any given situation or problem and the ability to set the corresponding plans into action.
The dominant-Te monologue: “I will achieve my goal by any means necessary.”
SARCASTIC VERSION:
As an auxiliary function, Te manifests as the ability to take concrete, efficient action on the user’s analysis of what the best thing to do would be.
The auxiliary-Te monologue: “Now that I have determined the best or most reliable course of action, I will set it into motion using the most straightforward method available to me.”
SARCASTIC VERSION:
As a tertiary function, Te manifests as the ability to source whichever resources are necessary to make the user’s desire a reality.
The tertiary-Te monologue: “I will employ the most straightforward method that exists in order to make my goal, dream or impulse come true.”
SARCASTIC VERSION:
As an inferior function, Te originally manifests as the inability to set one’s external desires or plans into motion.
As Te matures, the user finds themselves steadily more able to source the resources they require to make their dreams a reality. They also find themselves developing the ability to express their thoughts to others in a straightforward, logical manner.
The inferior-Te monologue (prior to maturation): “I have many goals I want to accomplish but often have trouble tangibly setting them into motion. I fear being perceived as incompetent by others.”

b. Introverted THINKING
Dominant
As a dominant function, Ti manifests as the constant identification of logical patterns that exist in ones external environment as well as a keen perception for any deviations from those patterns.
The dominant-Ti monologue: “I must figure out exactly how everything logistically works in relation to everything else.”
SARCASTIC VERSION:
As an auxiliary function, Ti manifests as the identification of how the logical systems in the user’s external environment could be manipulated to work to their advantage.
The auxiliary-Ti monologue: “How can I manipulate the way that this object or situation works so that it instead works the way I’d like it to?”
SARCASTIC VERSION:
As an auxiliary function, Ti manifests as the organization of the user’s pre-existing knowledge in a logical, systematic format.
The tertiary-Ti monologue: Where does this new hunch or piece of information I’ve acquired fit in relation to what I already know to be true?
SARCASTIC VERSION:
As an inferior function, introverted thinking originally manifests as an excessively critical view of others, as it searches for objective (and often harsh) truths about other people.
The inferior-Ti monologue (prior to maturation): “Can I use these objective observations about others to my advantage?”
