While micro-tests capture flashes of function use, macro-tests immerse a person in a longer scenario. These 10–30 minute exercises simulate real-world situations where a function must carry the weight of analysis, memory, planning, or empathy. Instead of a single reflex, macro-tests reveal patterns of endurance, clarity, and stress-handling. They don’t just ask “Can you use this function?” but rather “What happens when you must live inside this function for a while?”
Introverted Intuition (Ni)
Test: Pattern Compression Journal
- Give a set of symbols, quotes, and events (10–15 items).
- Task: Write a single page that finds the one hidden thread and predicts future outcomes.
- Scoring: Depth of insight, ability to unify scattered data, clarity of future vision.
Extraverted Intuition (Ne)
Test: Idea Webstorm
- Give a random object (e.g., “umbrella”).
- Task: Generate 20+ creative connections, then expand 3 of them into full “what-if” scenarios.
- Scoring: Variety, originality, playfulness of expansion, and ability to keep branching.
Introverted Sensing (Si)

Extraverted Sensing (Se)
Test: Real-Time Immersion
- Place them in a room with 15–20 objects.

- Second round: Ask them to physically interact (stack, balance, sort) against a short timer.
- Scoring: Responsiveness, precision under time pressure, perceptual acuity.
Introverted Thinking (Ti)
Test: System Dissection
