Interim comment: I didn't realize this was a repost thread! And I saw that the answers were bullet by bullet/theme by theme, but my brains works better tackling the information as a whole and relaying it via storytelling progression than by bullet points. I can do bullet points but not on topics like these where there are a ton of points and then…Read more

1) Do the themes associated with your first function resonate with your personality and role in the world? How does that function manifest, and which themes of the descriptions are ‘not you?’

Ah, the agony of Ti! 😮 I know it well..
The impetus to encompass all the nuance of a phenomenon into a conceptual framework is indeed futile, as is the ideal of complete accuracy. As you say.. it's not really possible to put God in a box.

@septimus-chalier - That's a wonderful quote. *looks up Virginia Woolf*
