inferior function
Definition:
The inferior function in Jungian typology is the least developed and most unconscious of the four psychological functions (thinking, feeling, sensation, intuition). It often manifests in awkward or exaggerated ways but is also a gateway to deeper self-awareness.
Example:
Developing the inferior function helps clients achieve psychological balance and integrate neglected aspects of their psyche. For example, a thinking-dominant client might explore their inferior feeling function to improve emotional understanding.
