Pure/chaotic personality

[Ponderer]

Why don't pure introverts or pure extraverts exist?
For example introvert with functions TiNiFiSi or extravert TeNeFeSe.

Or someone who uses the same function both introverted and extraverted. For example SiSeTiTe or something random like that.
How would person behave with personalities like that? Maybe they exist but they are the insane in asylums?

Ever met someone incapable of perceiving the outside world, or someone incapable of internal thought/processing/perception?

Me neither.

Extreme autists are known that they don't interact much with outside world.
Insane who are constantly mumbling possibly are incapable of thinking.
I know a few extraverts who look like they never think or reflect, they are always doing something or at least pretend that they do.

 

[redbaron]

So they do exist: they're just insane/dysfunctional.

Except that's mental disorder and I'm pretty sure typing an extreme autist as TiNiFiSi or whatever isn't really how this typology stuff works (not that it works anyway).

 

[Ponderer]

But it could be possible to find out on what kind of preferences he bases his thinking. Maybe he is living by his own principles and morale, maybe by pure logic, maybe he's just comparing the current environment to the past. Maybe he is doing all of that but some of that more often that the other.
Maybe he is using Se or Ne or even Fe but he is unable to express himself, that's also possibility. Someone should give a cognitive function test to an autist and see what it shows.

Someone should design a reliable cognitive function test first. But hey you're new to the forum so don't let me shit all over your ideas. We're overdue for someone coming in here and giving you a lecture on how MBTI works actually, they should have started telling you that functions are always paired with their opposite by now.

Ok, I didn't know that.

I've observerd something interesting, that animals also could be using cognitive functions. They behave just like humans if you look closely. For example, I've noticed that some dogs behave in a more courteous manner (always wagging a tail when passing by, avoiding eye contact to not make situation awkward etc), and some dogs behave more egoistically, like they don't care what is happening around them and how their actions will impact others.

I hope I don't sound crazy.

You don't need a reliable test to get results.

Sometimes the way in which a person answers a flawed test, or series thereof, can be a better indicator than what the actual questions are asking.

Do you think an autistic person will answer the same way as most people?

I would think there would be a distinct pattern, instead.

If people really use these cognitive functions, I would assume as a default that animals do too.

It may even be easier to tell the personality type of an animal than it is to tell that of a human.

There's less noise.
