Without further ado, we’re diving into the remaining two cognitive functions—the Intuition functions!

As a refresher, there are four total Perceiving functions: Introverted Sensing (Si), Extroverted Sensing (Se), Introverted Intuition (Ni), and Extroverted Intuition (Ne).

The Perceiving functions establish how we take in information. In the most basic sense, Perceiving is the stimulus and Judging is the response. Perceiving functions gather the information that Judging functions—Thinking and Feeling—utilize to make decisions. Like the Judging functions, the energy of the Perceiving functions is also directed inward (introverted) or directed outward (extroverted).
