Extraverted Thinking (Te)

Extraverted thinking seeks to form conclusions based on objects, and their external environment. For the Te user each fact, or piece of information stands on its own, in other words there is no interconnections made between the facts themselves. Extroverted thinking is far more concerned with building things, and using what they have constructed to serve a practical purpose, it is not interested in building an interconnected web of relationships between the objects. Extroverted thinking is always associated with the idea of finding a “practical application for any given set of data, or facts” although this is definitely true I venture to present the idea that the main difference between the extroverted, and introverted thinker lies in the fact that the ladder generally has “an end game in sight” and seeks to use the facts, and his understanding of them in order to further his agenda, and make progress towards that sight, end game or purpose. Another characteristic of Te is the concept of the modification of the data, and objects in their external environment in order for it to all make sense, this is particularly true for types who have Te higher on their function stacks such as ESTJs, ENTJs, ISTJs, and INTJs. It is important to note that Extroverted Thinking works in an axis with Introverted feeling, in other words extroverted thinking serves to provide a universal and objective logical order to the external world so that introverted feeling could discern it and make value judgments based on an internal criteria more specifically they make this judgments after assessing what, and how much something matters to them on any given situation. I would like to further accentuate the fact that this situations are individual, and independent ones which are divorced from each other, since the value scale is internal. In both the Fe/Ti axis, and the Fi/Te axis the roles remain the same, meaning that the subject remains the judge, and the object remains the scrutinized. The difference between both axis lies in the nature of the subject. More specifically in the Fi/Te axis introverted feeling which as we mentioned above makes judgment values based on what he feels matters, and takes priority for the subject on any given situation makes the judgments, and Extroverted Thinking formulates a plan as to how the subject will go about getting what it wants, or in other words, achieving its goals.
