Your behavior and your actions will be different depending on you have healthy or unhealthy cognitive functions. There is plenty of talk of how Introverted Intuition can become overwhelmed – but all functions can become overwhelmed in the wrong environment. Master how your functions are impacted.

How to manage your unhealthy cognitive functions

Below you find all eight cognitive functions. If you learn to track your behavior, you can track which function you are currently struggling the most with and what may be the issue for your struggles. When a function is overstimulated, steadying it with it’s rival function may help. If a function is understimulated, boosting it with it’s inspirational function may help.

Hero, mentor, sidekick and rival functions

Your top functions can manage a lot more stress before they begin to become overwhelmed. In particular, your hero function can handle more stress than all other functions. Your mentor function can handle more stress than your sidekick function, but at the cost of becoming worse at navigating anxiety. Your sidekick function can manage anxiety better, but struggles the most with stress. Finally, your rival function struggles to handle both anxiety and stress. Spend your energy wisely.
