Introduction: Reframing Sensation in the Introverted Psyche In Jungian typology, sensation is typically understood as the function that registers the concrete, immediate reality provided by the senses. It is the most “objective” of the four primary functions. However, in its introverted form, sensation undergoes a profound transformation. Rather than merely receiving impressions from the external…

Introverted Intuition: An Overview In Jungian psychology, introverted intuition (Ni) is one of the eight fundamental cognitive functions. It belongs to the irrational (perceiving) category of functions, which are concerned not with judging or decision-making, but with perceiving the world—either as it is (sensation) or as it might become (intuition). Whereas extraverted intuition (Ne) scans…

Subject and Object in Consciousness Introverted people tend to focus primarily on their inner experiences, thoughts, and feelings — what Carl Jung calls the “subjective factor.” This means that their conscious attention is directed more inward than outward. As a result, they often undervalue the external world around them, which Jung refers to as the…

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…

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…

The ESFP – often seen as a vibrant, expressive, and pleasure-seeking personality – is far more multidimensional when viewed through Ontolokey, the ontological instrument that maps not only the conscious psyche but also the deep, hidden architecture of the self. Let’s take a journey into the ESFP’s full psychological profile, including the Anima, Toddler, Shadow,…

The ISFP personality type—driven by Introverted Feeling (Fi) and supported by Extraverted Sensing (Se)—is a profoundly authentic and emotionally guided type. But what truly sets Ontolokey apart is the way it maps not only the conscious aspects of personality but also the rich and hidden structure of the subconscious. Using the Ontolokey model, we can…

In the Ontolokey model, the INTP is far more than a detached intellectual or theoretical wanderer. Rather, this personality is shaped by a rich and often hidden interplay between logic, unconscious emotional drives, and a subtle longing to connect. Unlike many typological models, Ontolokey does not merely describe observable behavior—it maps out the inner architecture…

In the depth psychology of Carl Gustav Jung, the journey of individuation—the process of becoming one’s true self—culminates in an encounter with the inferior function. This function, often feared, ignored, or misunderstood, represents not our weakness, but our crown. In the Ontolokey system, this archetype is known as the King or Queen—the Royal Function. It…

In Jungian psychology, the Persona is the mask we wear—the version of ourselves shaped to meet the expectations of the outside world. But in the Ontolokey system, this concept is refined into something more precise and measurable: a distinct personality configuration derived from our auxiliary function and oriented toward the Anima. It is not who…
