Blind Te(7th Position)
Overview
Extraverted Thinking (Te) as your Blind function (Trickster) operates unconsciously, creating blind spots about organizing externally and achieving results. It manifests as deeply unvaluing efficiency and external organization, dismissing systems and structure as controlling or oppressive, and seeing productivity as meaningless or dehumanizing. You may appear chaotic and disorganized, completely dismissing organizational systems and measurable results as irrelevant or harmful. You distrust efficiency and external structure, perceiving them as manipulation or signs of coldness, and actively avoid situations that require creating systems or achieving measurable outcomes. You may see organization as a sign of rigidity or lack of creativity, dismissing those who value efficiency as soulless or controlling. This function tests boundaries by introducing contradictory structures that trap you in paradoxes, making you believe you're free when you're actually chaotic. Integrating it helps you recognize these blind spots and develop genuine appreciation for effective organization and measurable achievement.
