Developing the Secondary

Here are some ideas about the kinds of shifts in perspective that Lenore might be referring to when she speaks of using the Secondary Function to support a dominant "agenda" vs. using the Secondary Function to genuinely broaden your perspective.

Ti: Spinning the truth vs. Seeing the whole truth

Fi: Pleasure-seeking vs. Seeing what is truly good

Si: Seeking facts to support a purpose vs. Allowing yourself to see whatever facts are there

Ni: Seeing through smoke and mirrors vs. Seeing the validity of other perspectives

Deconstructing an opposing view vs. using a shared vocabulary to communicate your own view

Te: Judging vs. Navigating

Fe: Serving vs. Negotiating

Se: Idle amusement vs. Being present

Ne: Idle curiosity vs. Opportunism

Maybe developing the secondary is consciously avoiding the tertiary?
