I've read about different schools of thought about this.
Some will say we only use four. So an ISTJ, uses Si as the dominant, Te as the auxiliary, Fi as the tertiary, Ne as the inferior. The other four aren't being used and what we think of them as being used is really just compensation by our used functions. Like Fi can be used to mimic Fe but doesn't become true Fe.
Then there's John Beebe's school of thought. www.apt-nc.org/type-theories/eight-function-model/ Here, all 8 functions are used but functions 5-8 occupy our shadow. So an ISTJ would have Se, Ti, Fe, and Ni as their shadow functions.
In Socionics theory, everyone uses all 8 functions and is aware of doing so. People have 4 functions they 'value' which determines their quadra and the other 4 are 'unvalued' but still used with awareness.
I'm wondering what viewpoint Cognitive Typology theory takes on this.
