I don’t even care if it actually works, I’m mostly reblogging because it’s freaking adorable.

in case anyones interested in the other versions

Y’know I reblogged this a bit ago and was saved from financial probation and getting kicked out of school because of it, just mere months from graduation. Got a call from the financial aid advisor telling me that they made a mistake with filing my account (or some other sort of clerical error) and said that, basically, they owe me money. Welp.

Last time I reblogged the money cat, I won two $100 gift cards at work.

I’ll try this, what the hey.

Informative and can possibly send money my way? That earns this a reblog

The Dominant Function: The “White Noise” of Your Personality

How many hours a day do you spend in your room? Considering you have a Tumblr, it’s probably plenty.

Now, how many times have you walked into your room while looking for something and not found it, only for a family member or friend to walk in right after you and find it in a second? Followed by them saying something along the lines of, “It was right in front of your face!”

If you experience something, like a place or a person, all the time, the details can become fuzzy and the things that stay consistently the same can become “white noise.” Meaning you don’t notice them anymore.

I believe this concept applies to MBTI as well.

Your dominant function is never off. It’s always chugging along under the surface. It’s how you deal with most of your day to day problems. It IS you.

But, because it’s on all the time, it’s white noise. Not only to you, but to those around you as well. We only notice things that deviate from the “norm” or the “base.”

Adding onto my theory that the secondary function is the area that requires the most growth, I believe that the tertiary function behaves like the “Rising Sun” from astrology: It is how you are perceived by others.

It’s the function you use often enough that it’s noticeable but not so often that it becomes white noise. Your dominant function goes almost completely unnoticed by those around you although it’s obvious once you know what to look for and your secondary function works mainly subconsciously, melding into your dominant function near seamlessly.

Therefore, your tertiary function is the most notable to you and those around you, because it is seen as active. There is a change when you engage it, so it registers on everyone’s radar.

As examples: My boss is an ESFJ. She runs a daycare center/pre-school and WOW does she look creative. She is a neverending fountain of ideas and innovations. She was so creative she made me question my Ne-ness for approximately two seconds. But, the problem was that she was too noticeably “creative.” She never knows when to stop creating alternatives and her ideas tend to lack structure or any forethought. They can be good, but they usually need major tweaking, and she can be very touchy about trying to tweak her ideas. This is another red flag. A true Ne-dom would NEVER be touchy about changing ideas on the fly. Nor would they be as much of a busy body as her, constantly out shopping and working all day long. Ne’s prefer to work smart, not hard. They’re not just innovative sometimes, they’re innovative in every aspect of their life and can figure out how to get by while putting in the least amount of effort. On another note, she’s an entertainer. By that I mean that she does everything she does for her “audience”, not for herself. Ne’s are usually entertaining, but only by consequence. If you asked an Ne to try to entertain or explain what is entertaining, they’d fall completely flat. They just do what they want and if it entertains others (which it usually does) awesome. My boss’ tertiary Ne is her most notable feature, but it’s definitely not her dominant function.

Another example: My dad is an ISTJ, but he is renowned for his hard held morals. He is constantly described as a “good man” or a “true gentleman” or as being “inflexible in his beliefs.” But, his beliefs are not as extensive as my ISFP friend. She has opinions on EVERYTHING, and they all have fleshed out explanations and reasoning. Whether her views would be seen as logical is irrelevant to her: It’s how she feels. My dad’s beliefs are more like the ten commandments, he has a few large, expansive opinions that he uses to guide him through most of his life. But, he’d find having an individual fleshed out opinion on EVERY SINGLE LITTLE THING ridiculous and a waste of time. Why spend all that time thinking about unimportant things when there’s work to be done?

Last example: My aforementioned ISFP friend. She is known amongst my friends as “the psychic.” (could there be anything more stereotypically Ni?) Of course, I don’t really see Ni as the “psychic” function, but rather as the “visionary” function. Ni’s believe that there is one true pattern to life, one cheat code to getting exactly what they want. They plan out their moves twenty turns ahead and are hard on themselves when things don’t turn out the way they planned. So, although my friend does enjoy playing psychic, she actually is also well-known for displaying true Ni traits as well. She has a notebook filled with page after page of where she sees herself in 5, 10, 15, 20 years from now, going all the way back to when she was in elementary school. She had a vision of what her perfect guy would look like, what job he’d have, and how they’d meet, which took until only a year or two ago to get her to let go of. She obsesses over where she’s going in life and how she wants her life to look right now. When things change, she panics, because now she has to revise her entire future. But, she’s nowhere near as integrated as my INFJ friend. His Ni visions aren’t just visions, they’re plans. He knows how he’s going to get the things he envisions for himself, and although he still obsesses over it, he’s able to change courses more fluidly than our ISFP. He can create a new path quickly and efficiently, so you rarely notice him doing it. It’s more notable in the ISFP because she throws herself into a depression every time her vision changes, rather than just taking the changes as they come and trying to make them work in your overarching plan.

This is already really long-winded, but people do this to me, too, as an ENFP. People see me initially as an “ice queen”, I’m often compared to characters like Hermione Granger, an ESTJ (who, interestingly enough, is a character created by a lower order Te-user as a caricature of herself), and my parents always describe me as “bossy.” But, I lack any actual organization skills. My Te is surface level, notable but not as complete as Hermione’s or even my father’s.

I think I need to end this here before I ramble anymore. Lol. Let me know what you think!

TLDR; Your tertiary function is your most noticeable function while your dominant function becomes “white noise.”

Good post.

And so true.

This makes a lot of sense, but it feels kinda innacurate for me. I’m INTP, and I don’t think people see a lot of my Si side and when they do, it’s usually grouped with Ti. The theory might be better rephrased as “People see your non-dominant extraverted function’s qualities in you”. This means that if you are an Introvert, they see the qualities of your aux function, and if you are an extravert, they see your tertiary function. I’m interested in what do you think about Si in INTPs, because I can’t think of anything big enough to confirm your theory.

My previous post, “How the Types’ Friends Would Describe Them”, is actually the “pop psych” version of this theory dump. Lol. To answer your question of how I see tertiary Si, I wrote:

“Controlled. Consistent. Perfectionist. Has issues with self-esteem.”

So, basically, the first word is the “general feel” a tertiary Si user gives off, the second is one complimentary word, the third is one not so complimentary word, and the phrase is a possible noticeable issue that tertiary may or may not deal with (I chose issues instead of strengths because people usually notice what’s wrong more easily than what’s right.)

I see Si as the “mastery” or “virtuoso” function, and all users, no matter where it lands, seek mastery over their own body. The INTP and INFP show a surface level, stereotypical version of Si behavior. They’re hard on themselves, obsessed with self-control, and love starting new “habits” and are pretty good at sticking to those few, noticeable habits.

But, the INTP and INFP version of self-mastery comes from a more cerebral place. They seek mastery over certain topics, but tend to lack true command over the self like the ISTJ and ISFJ have. Plus, yes, the INFP/INTP has kept that one journal consistently since they were 10, but there’s about a hundred other smaller, less noticeable tasks that they are completely inconsistent with.

So, there’s my opinion on that! Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you for this post, it was a very intriguing way to look at things and I think it’s very accurate, especially when read along side its companion post. I figured I’d give feedback myself, so here it goes.

To be quite honest, when I read your post I had a mini freak out and began to question my type until I read the companion post. My relationship with my tert Se is sometimes questionable, to the point where I’ve debated whether it was my tert function or actually my inferior function several times. I even typed myself as an INTJ for a while there once I figured out my functions. Anyway, to quote the other post:

“ENFJ/ENTJ: “Realistic. Capable. Indulgent. Doesn’t know when to take a rest.””

I think this is exactly how people would describe me, especially not knowing when to rest. I’m always busy doing something, people often tell me I need to slow down. I don’t even think I know how to relax, I throw myself into everything 110% at minimum unless I see it as pointless. As for realistic and capable, people often come to me for advice or help because they see me as such, they know me as a sensible person with practical solutions who will lend a hand when possible. As for the indulgent part, that is also true, although it’s something I do try to work on.
