Jungology

8 functions · 52 questions · John Beebe model

Jungology is a free online cognitive functions test.

The first Delphic maxim states “Know thyself”, it is at the core of everything we encounter in life, the lens through which we look, the vantage point from which we jump forward.

Most four-letter quizzes dont score the functions. This one does: fifty-two statements about how you notice, decide, and take in a situation.

Let’s discover your personality type!

How it works

  1. Answer fifty-two Questions

    Each Question offers a small reflection on the way you tend to perceive, decide, or experience the world. Consider each one carefully, and choose how true it feels for you. The complete set takes most people around eight minutes.

  2. A short follow-up, only if needed

    The test is designed to determine your leading function first, it might ask a few follow up questions at the end to further validate your dominant function.

  3. Read it as a map

    The closest type is then shown as eight archetypal roles: the Ego Functions (Conscious) — Hero / Heroine, Parent, Eternal Child, Inferior (Anima / Animus) — and the Shadow Functions (Unconscious) — Opposing Nemesis, Critic, Trickster, Demon.

The eight function-attitudes

Jung argued that we all use every function, though we prefer some and struggle with others, and extraversion and introversion here mean where the function points — toward the outer world, or toward the inner impression a thing leaves — not whether you are sociable.

Ni

Introverted Intuition

Inner vision

In Psychological Types, introverted intuition is oriented by the inner object: unconscious images that disclose a direction or meaning. It compresses many impressions into a single vision of where things are tending, often before the outer facts are lined up.

Ne

Extraverted Intuition

Possibilities

Extraverted intuition, as Jung describes it, is oriented by the object: it scents what a situation could become. It reads latent possibilities in the outer world, links what is not yet related, and often loses interest once a possibility has been realized.

Si

Introverted Sensing

Lived memory

Introverted sensation is oriented by the subjective factor in the object. What is perceived is not only the public property of the thing, but the impression it leaves in memory and body. Precedent, familiarity, and inner sensory texture guide judgment.

Se

Extraverted Sensing

Present reality

Extraverted sensation is oriented by the object as it is. Jung ties it to concrete actuality: texture, timing, impact, and the aesthetic of the given moment. It trusts what can be seen, touched, and done now more than a theory about it.

Ti

Introverted Thinking

Inner logic

Introverted thinking is oriented by the subjective idea. Jung’s account is that it seeks inner consistency: the model must be true, even if it is not yet useful. It refines definitions and notices when a collective formula is logically hollow.

Te

Extraverted Thinking

External order

Extraverted thinking is oriented by the object and by objective data. It follows facts others can check, collective standards, and what can be arranged in the shared world. Jung notes that it wants a conclusion that works, not only an elegant inner theory.

Fi

Introverted Feeling

Personal values

Introverted feeling is oriented by the subjective factor. Values are intense and often hard to display. Jung describes a loyalty to inner images of worth that may look like indifference from outside, while remaining unmoved by merely collective taste.

Fe

Extraverted Feeling

Shared atmosphere

Extraverted feeling is oriented by the object: the feeling-tone of people, custom, and what “one” does. Jung ties it to adapting value to the situation so that relation remains possible. A logically neat choice can still feel unfinished if it injures the group.

    A free Jungian cognitive functions test. Fifty-two statements score Jung’s eight function-attitudes in your browser, then a likely type. About eight minutes, no account, not the official MBTI® instrument.

  • Jungian functions and MBTI®

    How a Jungian cognitive functions quiz differs from the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator: eight function-attitudes first, then a type as a reading aid, not an official MBTI result.

  • Ni vs Ne

    The difference between introverted intuition (Ni) and extraverted intuition (Ne): one inner trajectory vs a field of outer possibilities, and how a quiz can tell them apart.

  • Fi vs Ti

    The difference between introverted feeling (Fi) and introverted thinking (Ti): a private standard of worth vs an inner model that has to be consistent, and how to tell them apart.

  • INFP vs INFJ

    INFP and INFJ share three letters and no cognitive functions. Why the J/P code misleads, how Fi-Ne differs from Ni-Fe, and how a functions quiz tells them apart.

  • Why everyone is INFJ

    INFJ is rare in population samples and common on the internet. How this cognitive functions quiz scores Ni, Fe, Fi, and Ne instead of a four-letter identity.

  • Si vs Se

    The difference between introverted sensation (Si) and extraverted sensation (Se): stored impression and precedent vs the concrete scene as it is now.

  • Fe vs Te

    The difference between extraverted feeling (Fe) and extraverted thinking (Te): keeping the feeling-tone of the group vs arranging a result others can check.

Frequently asked questions

What is Jungology?

Jungology is a free online cognitive functions test. You rate fifty-two statements; the site scores Jung’s eight function-attitudes in your browser, then suggests a likely type. There is no account.

What are Jung’s function-attitudes?

In Psychological Types (1921), Jung described four functions — thinking, feeling, sensation, and intuition — each of which can turn toward the outer world or toward the inner impression a thing leaves, and that gives eight function-attitudes. This quiz then reads your scores through Beebe’s later eight-role model.

Is this the official MBTI® test?

No. This is a free educational quiz inspired by Jung’s functions. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is a separate, trademarked instrument, and we report your eight function scores first, then a likely four-letter type as a reading aid.

What do the four letters mean?

E or I is the attitude of the leading function. N or S is which perceiving function sits higher. T or F is which judging function sits higher. J or P says whether the first extraverted function is judging or perceiving — not whether you are tidy. The four-letter code page walks through the conversion.

How long does the quiz take?

There are fifty-two statements. Tap a number to move on. Most people finish in about eight minutes. If two answers are too close, a few extra choices come after the fifty-two, not in the middle.

Do you store my answers?

There is no account. Your answers stay in this browser session until you close the tab or start over, and they are not sent to a server. After you finish, the site may record which type was suggested and which stack you left on the results page, as counts only, so the quiz can be checked against published population shares. Cloudflare and Google Analytics may count page views, not answers.

What if two attitudes are equally strong, as Fi and Ti both at 88%?

When two functions land that close, the fifty-two items are not enough, so after the quiz you get a short follow-up: which sentence sounds more like you. Those answers are folded into the percentages. If they still split, you can try a different lead on the results page.

What is Your Type in Depth?

The quiz, the eight scores, and the choice of Hero / Heroine and Parent stay free, while Your Type in Depth is a longer reading of the weaker end of the type, Beebe’s eight roles, and notes on growth, which you can print.
