Cognitive Function Analysis
Ne (Dominant Extraverted Intuition)
- Evidence: Constantly seeks to uncover hidden angles, potential threats, and new opportunities—whether in espionage, business, or interpersonal strategy. He’s energized by what might be.
- Analysis: His curiosity, disruptive thinking, and improvisational style are hallmarks of dominant Ne. He thrives in abstract, conceptual spaces and is idea-first.
Ti (Auxiliary Introverted Thinking)
- Evidence: Deconstructs systems (e.g., CIA recruitment, negotiation, influence) into mental models.
- Analysis: Ti supports Ne by creating a logical internal framework. His explanations are internally consistent and analytical, but never cold—Ti is sharp but integrated, not dominant.
Fe (Tertiary Extraverted Feeling)
- Evidence: Engaging and persuasive speaker; uses emotional intelligence to connect with audiences. He frames ideas in ways that resonate with others.
- Analysis: Tertiary Fe gives him an edge in persuasion and performance. He can “read the room” and modulate his message for social impact—though it’s not his core motivation.
Si (Inferior Introverted Sensing)
- Evidence: Little interest in preserving tradition or rigid protocol. He draws from past experience only to improve future adaptability—not to repeat or conserve it.
- Analysis: Inferior Si shows in his low attachment to precedent. He treats systems as flexible, not sacred. This allows his Ne to operate without being grounded in nostalgia or routine.
Conclusion
- Dominant Ne: Curious, strategic, always exploring hidden possibilities
- Auxiliary Ti: Precise, logical deconstruction of systems
- Tertiary Fe: Charismatic, emotionally attuned in public settings
- Inferior Si: Minimal interest in tradition or routine—prioritizes improvisation and novelty.
