are the four functions:
sensation
→ what you perceive
thinking
→ how you interpret what you perceive
feeling
→ the value you apply to what you perceive
intuition
→ unconscious perception of the object and its relationships

you can’t be grounded in your
sensory experience
of the object while
intuiting
unseen connections and possibilities around it.

the technical term for
anima and animus
, which is the personification of our inferior function.
