Perhaps to better understand the roles or just for novelty, I tried thinking of of what types made of function orders that went against the theory. So, perhaps to help better understand the roles or just for novelty, I decided to post them.
TiNi: Because this type's dominant function is Ti, his goal is understanding, but having no comfortable way to extrovert himself he's often seen just sitting on his couch for days staring at the ceiling. Sometimes he shifts his attention (well, he moves his head) to the floor. He looks for universal patterns and seeks to tie them together to understand the fundamental nature of the universe, consciousness, etc. You may be able to get him to explain his mental wanderings if you're lucky, but this however usually results in at best confused looks, or at worst crying because of the truths revealed.
NiTi: Very similar to TiNi, however because of the priorities of his psyche, this type's thoughts are best described as mental simulations. A virtual universe unfolding in his head. Ni sets the premise while Ti supports and guides the imagination.
Both are avid philosophers.
Both hate unrealistic hypotheticals (somewhat ironically).
Fe and Ne (interchangeable places because this one is slightly boring): Like ENFX, but the enthusiasm is much more intrusive (as if that were even possible). This type is EXTREMELY sociable, falling ill if there isn't one person making eye contact. This type, when in a group can be very fun. however. He is in his prime when he's allowed to finding novel, unheard of methods of gaining the groups attention and affection.
TeNe: He can one second tell you that you have a terrible plan and the next give you ridiculous but oddly useful advice. "So crazy it just might work" is the sentence he's been told everyday since he was 11.
Just for giggles, FiTi: This type has an odd relationship with rationale. The best way to get this type to give affection to you is to read "Critique of Pure Reason"
