Drawing upon Jungian theory, Isabel Myers proposed that for each personality type, the cognitive functions (sensing, intuition, thinking, and feeling) form a hierarchy.  This hierarchy represents the person's  default pattern of behavior.
 
 
 
The Dominant function is the personality type's preferred role, the one they feel most comfortable with.  The secondary Auxiliary function serves to support and expand on the Dominant function.  If the Dominant is an information gathering function (sensing or intuition), the Auxiliary is a decision making function (thinking or feeling), and vice versa. The Tertiary function is less developed than the Dominant and Auxiliary, but it matures over time, rounding out the person's abilities. The [[Myers–Briggs_Type_Indicator|Inferior function]] is the personality type's fatal weakness. This is the function they are least comfortable with. Like the Tertiary, the Inferior function strengthens with [[Maturity (psychological)|maturity]].<ref name=Tieger>{{cite book |author1=Barron-Tieger, Barbara |author2=Tieger, Paul D. |title=Do what you are: discover the perfect career for you through the secrets of personality type |publisher=Little, Brown |location=Boston |year=1995 |pages= |isbn=0-316-84522-1 |oclc= |doi=}}</ref>{{pn|date=November 2017}}
 
 
 
Jung and Myers considered the attitude of the Auxiliary, Tertiary, and Inferior functions to be the opposite of the Dominant. In this interpretation, if the Dominant function is extraverted, then the other three are introverted, and vice versa. However, many modern practitioners hold that the attitude of the Tertiary function is the same as the Dominant.<ref name=Manual2>{{cite book|last=Myers|first=Isabel Briggs|author2=Mary H.
