    • CognitiveType
    • 03-03-2014
    • CognitiveType has categorized 16 distinct visual cues for people which are proposed to correlate to 16 distinct cognitive personality types.

      CognitiveType tries to use Nardi research from EEG patterns of the brain to indicate type, so visual cues for CognitiveType are proposed to correlate with Dario Nardis 'best-selected-type' and EEG activity patterns.

      Dario Nardis research are not proven to correlate with Jungs psychological types or Jungs cognitive fun..

    • Dario Nardi EEG research
    • 03-03-2014
    • Dario Nardi uses EEG for this research to map neocortex activity with his interpretation of Jungs psychological types a.k.a. Jungs cognitive functions (JCF). Nardi does not use MBTI as a framework for type but instead uses John Beebes 8-function model. Nardi types people based on several tests and interview durings weeks, so Dario Nardis 'best-selected-type' does not correlate with MBTI results. If Nardi can't type a person confidently he will exclude this person from the research..

    • Jung's cognitive functions (JCF)
    • 02-27-2014
    • Did you know Jung never defined any cognitive functions?

      Jung defined psychological types, basically people were categorizes as being one of the 8 psychological types.

      Isabel-Briggs Myers later defined cognitive functions and a self-reporting test that tested for personality.

      Read the chapter about the types from "Psychological Types" here.
    • Left- and right-hemispheric thinking
    • 02-26-2014
    • "It seems plausible that emotional memories activate the limbic system and the right hemisphere. Consequently, the memories are encoded in the right hemisphere polysemantic context. They become connected with a large number of other memories and become more accessible for retrieval. In fact, the above mentioned findings underscore the context-bound quality of our memories. Whether a particular memory would be encoded in the polysemantic context or in the monosemantic one, depends more on th..
    • Organic vs Deterministic
    • 02-24-2014
    • The Organic vs Deterministic dichotomy is all about the limbic system.

      * Information which requires us to use Organic coding will activate the limbic system,
      and also the declarative episodic long-term memory.

      * Information which requires us to use Deterministic coding will activate the
      declarative semantic long-term memory.

      During sleep, long-term memories will consolidate into higher conceptualizations by the
      hippocampus and thi..
    • Jungs cognitive functions (JCF) in neuroscience
    • 02-20-2014
    • If Jungs cognitive functions were to be found in neuroscience I make the following predictions:

      Execution-task (**E)

      Activity in frontopolar cortex (FPC) and dorsolateral cortex (DLC).
      External generated information is put in relation to internal generated information (goals, agenda).

      * Ni+Te = Deterministic agenda-based analyzis combined with high-hierarchical longterm memory. (ADE)
      * Ni+Fe = Organic agenda-based analyzis combined with ..
    • MBTI vs Pod'lair vs Jungs Psychological Types
    • 02-19-2014
    • I think MBTI basically took the work of Carl Jung and reworked it from being a categorization of cognition,
      Jung obviously intended the "psychological types" to be related to cognition instead of identity,
      but MBTI made a test that tests for identity and describes it of being a implicit extension to Jungs work.

      So when people hear the functions (for example Ni or Ne), they associate them semantically with identity-traits
      rather than cognitive traits ..
