The Type Dynamics of Acceptance/Aversion
Type Aversions as an Aid to Self-TypingThe basic rule for determining the degree to which a given personality type will embrace or reject a given psychological function is as follows: The higher the function is positioned in the functional stack, the more likely we are to trust and embrace it. The lower a function is in the stack, the more apt we are to be wary of it or find ourselves at war with it.
Typically, we describe the functional stack as being comprised of four functions, namely, the dominant, auxiliary, tertiary, and inferior function.
NPs (ENTPs, ENFPs, INTPs, INFPs): Se is the seventh or eighth function for NP types. INPs, in particular, are likely to see Se as excessive, exploitive, and wasteful. NPs prefer to creatively (Ne) use and recycle existing resources (Si) rather than disposing of old and buying new.

TPs: Fi is the seventh or eighth function for TP types. TPs often take little interest in Fi causes (e.g., animal rights, special education). NTPs, who use Si rather than Se, may experience a particularly strong aversion to Fi causes that place inordinate demands on public resources (e.g., high dollar research / treatments for rare diseases). In sum, TPs often lack strong concern for or a willingness to help specific individuals or causes that deviate significantly from Fe norms.
