Ontolokey

Within Ontolokey, the eight Judging types—INTJ, ENTJ, INFJ, ENFJ, ISTJ, ISFJ, ESTJ, and ESFJ—are interpreted as complex psychological structures shaped by distinct function archetypes. These include the Dominant and Auxiliary functions, but also deeper roles such as the Anima or Animus, Toddler, Golden Shadow, Persona, Blindspot, Royal Archetype, and Sibling Function. These roles interact in a dynamic inner world, where each function carries its own energetic quality—extraverted (light tones) or introverted (dark tones), in accordance with the Ontolokey color-coded cube.

INTJ

INTJs lead with introverted Intuition (Ni), supported by extraverted Thinking (Te). Their Anima is introverted Sensing (Si), pulling them toward tangible inner impressions and past realities. The Toddler is extraverted Feeling (Fe), often surfacing awkwardly in social situations. Their Golden Shadow is introverted Thinking (Ti), a hidden reservoir of analytical elegance. They appear outwardly as ESTJs, while their Blindspot is introverted Feeling (Fi)—emotionally difficult to access. Their aspirational Royal Archetype is the ESFP, and their Sibling Function is extraverted Intuition (Ne).

ENTJ

ENTJs operate primarily through extraverted Thinking (Te), with introverted Intuition (Ni) as the internal guide. Their Anima is extraverted Feeling (Fe), which fuels their desire for relational success and approval. The Toddler is introverted Sensing (Si), which can make them resistant to new methods. Their Golden Shadow is extraverted Intuition (Ne), offering creative potential. They wear a Persona similar to the INFJ and are blind to extraverted Sensing (Se). Their Royal Archetype is the ISFP, and the Sibling Function is introverted Thinking (Ti).

The Persona resembles the ESFJ, while the Blindspot is introverted Thinking (Ti), which may be underdeveloped.

They present themselves like ENTJs, though their Blindspot is introverted Feeling (Fi). Their Royal Archetype is the ENFP, and the Sibling Function aligns with extraverted Sensing (Se).
