Testing only Jungian functions?

Where would I do this? I feel it would help my understanding and development. I couldn't find any test for this which I find really strange.

These are based on MBTI not Jungian semantics.

It is one of the only tests that purports itself to test cognitive functions, as well as MMDI.

In other words, what the OP asked for.

Edit: Just to avoid semantics, as I know it's going to get there, I'm not claiming these are accurate or valid, just answering the OP's search for tests.

Oh, and to the OP, about development. You can't force this, these are not skills you can systematically learn and replicate, this is about perspectives which are inherent to you, like a lens through which you look at things, that determines how you see the world and make sense of it.

Best way, would be to keep open minded when it comes to different perspectives, exploring them, trying to see past your reasoning biases, the emphasis being on trying, not so much succeeding, we we will always carry our own bias and prefer a particular way of looking at things; but we can still expand the scope of our original perspectives.

MMDI is quite interesting. I didn't recalled taking it before, but when I saw the results, I remembered it.

Apparently I'm ENTP according to this which makes sense I suppose.

So my Ti and Ne are dead even at first, followed by Ni at third.
Last is Si which I apparently never use with Te hardly any better.
But Fe, Fi, and Se are all tied for fourth place within a one point margin used half as much as the dominant two functions.

That's weird though. Why is Se used three times as much as Si when it should be my least developed function with Te being second to last, dominated by both feeling preferences?

I heard that you can find your preference order by adding both attitutes of a function. So, in your case, Ne+Ni > Te+Ti> Fe+Fi> Se+Si. As ENTPs are Ne-Ti-Fe-Si, you're onto something. Si as the least used function just reflects it's inferior role.

Don't you listen?

That test doesn't measure anything realistically.

Hm but it measures each indivdual sense. What do you mean by realistically?
I took it again. Got INTp this time.

extraverted Sensing (Se) ********************** (22)
limited use
introverted Sensing (Si) **************** (16.9)
limited use
extraverted Intuiting (Ne) ***************************************(41.6)
excellent use
introverted Intuiting (Ni) ****************************** (30.5)
good use
extraverted Thinking (Te) ************************ (24.1)
average use
introverted Thinking (Ti) ******************************************* (43.4)
excellent use
extraverted Feeling (Fe) ******************************* (31.3)
good use
introverted Feeling (Fi) ****************************** (30.2)
good use


Although from observation it again seems to correlate more with ENTP.

Adymus explains it in detail here: INTP Forum
Alright I understand. So we don't use anything but our dominant four functions. But this test should be acurate in typing me either ENTP or INTP correct? because after taking it both times it seems I would be ENTP despite me seeming introversion.

Also, despite the fact that they are opposite sides of one function, would EvilScientistTrainee be correct in stating that be adding both sides of one function and ordering the level of use you can determine your type by prevalence, or could one's tetiary be used over their second most used function occasional depite the fact they are a different type?
