Ontolokey

In the Ontolokey framework, the eight MBTI Perceiving types (INTP, ENTP, INFP, ENFP, ISTP, ISFP, ESTP, ESFP) are described through a deep psychological lens based on eight core internal archetypes: the Dominant Function, Auxiliary Function, Anima or Animus, Toddler, Golden Shadow, Persona, Blindspot, Royal Archetype, and the Sibling Function. Each function’s energy flow is also reflected in its orientation—extraverted (light colors) or introverted (dark colors).

INTP

The INTP is led by introverted Thinking (Ti), supported by extraverted Intuition (Ne). The Anima is introverted Feeling (Fi), often experienced deeply but unconsciously. The Toddler is extraverted Sensing (Se), manifesting in impulsive or sensory-seeking behavior. The Golden Shadow is introverted Intuition (Ni), offering hidden insight. Outwardly, the INTP presents a Persona similar to the ENFP. The Blindspot lies in introverted Sensing (Si), and the Royal Archetype—the aspirational psychological goal—is the ESFJ. The Sibling Function is extraverted Thinking (Te).

ENTP

The ENTP’s Dominant Function is extraverted Intuition (Ne), with introverted Thinking (Ti) as its Auxiliary. The Anima is extraverted Sensing (Se), craving physical and external stimulation. The Toddler is introverted Feeling (Fi), which can appear emotionally reactive or naive. The Golden Shadow is extraverted Thinking (Te), a potential for strategic mastery. The Persona resembles the ISTP—technical and independent. The Blindspot is extraverted Feeling (Fe), and the Royal Archetype is the ISFJ. The Sibling Function is introverted Intuition (Ni).

INFP

INFPs lead with introverted Feeling (Fi), complemented by extraverted Intuition (Ne). Their Anima is introverted Thinking (Ti), quietly forming inner logic. The Toddler, extraverted Sensing (Se), may surface in moments of impulsive action. Their Golden Shadow is introverted Intuition (Ni), offering hidden depth. The Persona resembles the ENTP—curious and outwardly expressive. The Blindspot lies in introverted Sensing (Si), and the Royal Archetype is the ESTJ. The Sibling Function is extraverted Feeling (Fe).

ENFP

ENFPs are guided by extraverted Intuition (Ne), with introverted Feeling (Fi) as their internal compass. The Anima is extraverted Sensing (Se), drawing them toward vivid experience. The Toddler, introverted Thinking (Ti), can manifest as inner criticism or intellectual over-analysis. The Golden Shadow, extraverted Feeling (Fe), holds their untapped capacity for social leadership. The Persona resembles the ISFP—artistic and emotionally grounded. Their Blindspot is extraverted Thinking (Te), while the Royal Archetype is the ISTJ. The Sibling Function is introverted Intuition (Ni).

ISTP

The ISTP is structured around introverted Thinking (Ti), supported by extraverted Sensing (Se). Their Anima is introverted Feeling (Fi), expressing deep, often hidden values. The Toddler is extraverted Intuition (Ne), which may appear as scattered or chaotic thinking. The Golden Shadow is introverted Sensing (Si), related to tradition and physical memory. The Persona appears as an ESFP—charismatic and action-driven. The Blindspot is introverted Intuition (Ni), and the Royal Archetype is the ENFJ. The Sibling Function is extraverted Thinking (Te).

ISFP

ISFPs lead with introverted Feeling (Fi), and are energized by extraverted Sensing (Se). Their Anima is introverted Thinking (Ti), offering a quiet analytical undercurrent. The Toddler is extraverted Intuition (Ne), often expressed in bursts of creativity or distraction. The Golden Shadow is introverted Sensing (Si), grounding their inner experiences. Outwardly, they wear an ESTP-like Persona—spontaneous and present. The Blindspot is introverted Intuition (Ni), and the Royal Archetype is the ENTJ. The Sibling Function is extraverted Feeling (Fe).

The ESTP operates through extraverted Sensing (Se), backed by introverted Thinking (Ti). Their Anima is extraverted Intuition (Ne), fueling adaptability and future-seeking. The Toddler is introverted Feeling (Fi), which may erupt in emotional confusion or withdrawal. The Golden Shadow is extraverted Thinking (Te), a resource for structure and control. The Persona mimics the INTP—rational, distant, and intellectually focused. The Blindspot is extraverted Feeling (Fe), and the Royal Archetype is the INFJ. The Sibling Function is introverted Sensing (Si).

ESFP

ESFPs are driven by extraverted Sensing (Se), with introverted Feeling (Fi) anchoring their value system. The Anima is extraverted Intuition (Ne), pointing to exploration and open-mindedness. The Toddler is introverted Thinking (Ti), which may complicate decisions or inner reasoning. The Golden Shadow is extraverted Feeling (Fe), showing latent potential for leadership and harmony. The Persona is that of the INFP—reserved and intellectually curious. The Blindspot is extraverted Thinking (Te), and the Royal Archetype is the INTJ. The Sibling Function is introverted Sensing (Si).
