New member typing - Now with added gestures ;)

"*grin* You have more experience in this than I do - I've gone right back to basics and got hold of a copy of Cognitive Types to read in hopes it will help me get better acquainted with the functions and thereby make me vaguely useful in contributing to threads like this"

I think you're probably more experienced than me - "I've been interested in cognitive typing for some years now"...or were you talking about visual reading?

In any case, I think it's the judging functions most people are more familiar with, mainly because they're what we reason with. The perceptive functions are in fact essential to reasoning because they provide the data, but they're not the process itself. I also find that it's easier to see what we're weak in, because our leading functions dominate so much that we hardly take notice of them - it's like being conscious of the grammar in a language we're learning, while giving not thought to that of the natal language (and still being better at it!) - but maybe I say this because my leading function is perceptive. In any case, these were some of my own thoughts to help you.
