    • "What is a function?

      As functions are the core of typology, you might think this would be a very straightforward question, but actually it is not.

      In Psychological Types, Jung defined a function as “a particular form of psychic activity that remains the same in principle under varying conditions,” but this isn’t particularly satisfactory. Besides that this could refer to pretty much anything or nothing depending on your definitions of “same” and “varying conditions,” it’s also just so vague as to be unhelpful for developing understanding."
