Cognitive functions
The 8 cognitive functions are the working parts behind Jungian type. They describe how attention gathers information and how judgment makes decisions.
INNERLY maps these functions through a 42-question self-report assessment, then turns the scores into a function-stack map, likely type pattern, and educational self-reflection.

Perceiving functions describe how information enters awareness. Intuition looks for pattern and possibility. Sensing stays closer to concrete reality, memory, and present experience.
Judging functions describe how decisions are organized. Thinking evaluates through logic and structure. Feeling evaluates through value, relationship, and meaning.
A single high score can be interesting, but the pattern matters more. Dominant and auxiliary functions usually feel more available. Inferior-function material often appears through stress, attraction, projection, or sudden overreaction.

The 8 functions are Ni, Ne, Si, Se, Ti, Te, Fi, and Fe. They combine Jung's four functions with introverted and extraverted attitudes.
Yes. INNERLY scores functions as a profile, so nearby functions can both be meaningful instead of forcing one winner too quickly.
A four-letter type can be interpreted as a likely function stack, but INNERLY starts with the function evidence before interpreting the type pattern.
