While this still remains a problem, due to how involved CT is, I've put together a new homepage with several new articles, to help with this.
First Impression

The new homepage now features four columns at the…Read more

Chapter 3: Vision and Vocation

Vision

I like the separation made between 'vision' as an explicit and particular long-term-goal, versus the cognitive inclination to exist in a perpetual state of daily…Read more

It's good to have you here.

First of all, I know you're both not standard dev Te-leads, so rather than asking how you experience your Te specifically, I want to…Read more

We now have enough NiTe lll- samples to start looking for correlations, and therefore to start building up a profile for this development. I put a few questions below, but please feel free to ignore them or…Read more

Sometimes they might be, sure, but not all the time

Right. Thank you for helping me clarify my…Read more

Suppose for example that there is an Ne-lead and and Si-lead sitting in the break room during lunch hour, having a conversation. The Ne-lead throws out six different associative…Read more

 
Ne/Si & Ni/Se:
Ne is more similar to Se, and Ni more similar to Si.

• Ni and Si are mapping/anchoring functions.
• Ne and Se are exploration functions.

Hi guys!

This thread is a review of our member Ren's book, and also an opportunity to spark new discussions together, compare notes on observed phenomenon, and grow. At this point in time I'm about halfway through the book, but if I wait until the end, I'm…Read more

She has a seelie, whispery, sprite-like voice and an unbridled demeanor.

And here we see an older Vivien Leigh, in unseelie form:

We now hear a much more nasally pinched voice, and a much more stern…Read more

Is that the quadras? The only thing with socionics (and even Auburn’s recently released videos) is that if you only consider Fe+Ni and Ti+Se for Beta Quadra, the entire thing is difficult to relate to. I’m sure in a future time there would…Read more

I've never done this before, in any formal fashion, but I wanted to start collecting reviews of Cognitive Typology from willing participants?

I'm not very good at "marketing" but it's come to my attention that it's necessary, in order to make a meaningful difference in the world, lol. And I haven't collected testimonials or reviews in…Read more

I watched Alex's video too, and found it quite insightful.

@alexandertheless would you be okay with sharing your video here? 🙂

There's been a lot more research on animate vs inaimate object detection that I've come across lately - which is essentially the F vs T detection mechanism. And some studies that focus on animacy vs inanimacy aim to theorize…Read more

I'm re-initiating the autobiographical surveys, to help with data collection. If you've been officially typed, or sufficiently soft-typed by me or a certified vultologists, please feel free to share a little about yourself in the form above. 🙂
What is this for?
As the form says,…Read more

I was hoping it went without saying that we have…Read more

I've made a post before aiming to explain the difference between CT's FiNe's who think they're MBTI INFJ, and actual CT NiFe's, and there is this section:

Aha Moments: The second third of the confusion comes from the way Ni is described; namely as a function of inner intuitions, hunches, and insights that germinate from within…

I'm always trying to put things into a context by relating concepts, and this process is not proactively done as it is with Ne. It's like inside my head…

I'm curious to know what you think of this profile?

Je: Articulator Function

A lot of people here who've come from other forums share in your predicament. Type-hopping is very common when you don't have clearly defined boundaries for types. I hope you will find a more stable description of type here in our community, since we are able to achieve a high degree of consensus on typings, with training.

Also…Read more

Inter-function dynamics refers to the operations performed by the joint activity of two or more energetic functions. What I call "Tier 2" operations would be those involving two…Read more

With Unison's permission, I wanted to save this discussion from Discord, for further investigation and discussion.

UK scientists successfully rejuvenate 53 year old human skin cells to age 23. Using the Yamanaka factors, they effectively eliminated the signs of aging by 30 years on human tissue.

While this was not performed on a live subject, that becomes a natural next step.

I am curious about the criteria in this system regarding the conclusion about which function is the Lead one.

Lead function is determined with signals, first J vs P signals, then energetic signals (Ji Je Pi Pe). There are also signals specific to function…Read more

what is it that you think a function is?

In the most general sense possible, and not speaking typologically, I think functions are discrete cortical activities generally shared among all humans. They're comparable to 'software', but typically universal software. The brain is a well organized organ, and it divides…Read more

I'm glad you didn't close off to a facial analysis methodology!

If you know of any ways we might be able to better reach those on the fence, or who might have reservations... and how to shift their viewpoint gracefully, do let me know!

why four functions then instead of eight?

#1: Theoretical
The purely theoretical answer is as follows: The possession of one of each energetic (Je/Ji/Pe/Pi)…Read more

I like it. Thanks for bringing that up, it makes the most sense to me too. A curated anthology sounds like the right plan. I'll see if I can come up with a way to start gathering that collection, from volunteers.

Regarding your case, I just got your book, and am about a third into reading…Read more

I call this the "Author Bias Problem" - I've written a wiki page about it here, with some proposed solutions, which may be a good starting-off point for us:

So, I did observe my vultology from my childhood videos and some other rare and recent instances where I had to record myself. And that was one way. For the more psychological aspect of it, I related to the descriptions o…Read more

As previously mentioned, this site has two functions: Forum & Articles.

Each has a dedicated page with a top search bar on each, that searches the corresponding area of the site, like so:

With Ren's permission I want to migrate an (already very dense) discord discussion here, for better continuation. 🙂 Starting first with a video he generously made about CT -

(comments to follow in next post)

And I do hope CT can offer some new and stimulating discussions on type. Glad to have you on the forums.

(i'm dusting off the forum lately. i prefer it for longform and deeper discussions)

If you have any questions about the class, please feel free to message me either here or in private messaging. Thanks!
