When you assess how independent someone is
it is useful to assist in picking the other person's pattern. This is more difficult to observe as you may need to know the other person for a lengthy period of time. It can support your previous assessment.

Independence - July 4th.

You will most likely need assistance.

This might tell you what.

But it will not tell you how.

Here are all sixteen patterns.

1. Can it be the Director - ESTJ?

The Director is the Border Collie

Category: Introverted Sensing.

Are the least interested in independence for its own sake. The sheer degree of minute sensory details impressed upon said types relegates them to dutiful, systematic and time-bound task accomplishment. This amounts to a rather repetitive existence, and if not for common humanity, others (especially those with high Introverted Intuition) might consider them less valuable than computers (which at least come with some suggestive functions).

E. Hunter™'s Ranker™: Third tier.

Semi independent.

2. Can it be the Developer - ENTJ?

The Developer is the German Shepherd

Category: Introverted Intuitive.

Despite having a preference for structure, values true freedom of choice more so than any other patterns. The acutely potentiated nature of Introverted Intuition furnishes its users with priorities that may be described as transcendent. The Introverted Intuitive owns a crude brand of power that cannot be swayed — bona fide willpower.
Seeing the way they respond to external demands clues you into the authenticity of their independent mindset. Unless one has gradually developed well-articulated rapport with a high Introverted Intuitive, expect them to desire executing the polar opposite of your demands. They cannot stand arbitrarily following instructions.

E. Hunter™'s Ranker™: Top with the Persuader in the top quadrant.

The Developer does not have dominant or potentially inflated Introverted Intuition. The Developer rigorously "parents" their intuitive gifts — employing a relentless process of give-and-take, of almost equally negative and positive predictive modeling, which over time generates a stable sense of confidence in willing their way through the most complex of situations.

3. Can it be the Results - ESTP?

The Results is the Jack Russell Terrier

Category: Extraverted Sensing.

Are insecure about their ability to will their way through a — frankly — chaotic and unstable universe. They see the world less as a serious stadium for wisdom delineation than as a playground that reliably provides hedonistically and sensually explosive experiences. Amid even the most indulgent spurts of laughter, it is not uncommon for those with Extraverted Sensing to experience vast feelings of emptiness, numbly wondering whether everyone is right — that they are “missing the point.” It is painfully difficult to be independent and rely upon ones self if their cognitive tendencies are geared toward the near-total disinhibition of immediate impulses.

E. Hunter™'s Ranker™: Fourth tier.

Dependent.

4. Can it be the Inspirational - ENTP?

The Inspirational is the Bull Terrier

Category: Extraverted Intuitive.

Second-tier independence given their freedom-craving, intellectually heightened style of processing. Since their independence is fuelled by Extraverted (thereby comparatively more scattered) Intuition, they often act as objective sounding boards for the gamut of ideas aimed toward societal progression, in the process denying personal desires and specific outcome coordination. The actionable nature of their broad-mindedness precludes the impractical, unlimited imaginative scope privileged by those with Introverted Intuition. Instead, The Extraverted Intuitives leap into the unknown — on a moment-to-moment basis blindly navigating the expanses of conscious experience — while sacrificing long-term assurance of materialisation.

Their attitudinally and functionally oppositional (albeit ego-systonic) Intuitive Sensing ensures practicality is observed on a deeper level. This promises stability and comfort through a connection to finer details that, in failing to comport with the self-determining force of Intuitive Intuition, rely instead upon an ever-evolving sense of duty, justice or any other number of collective tried-and-true principles.

E. Hunter™'s Ranker™: Second tier.

5. Can it be the Persuader - ENFJ?

The Persuader is the Boxer

Category: Introverted Intuitive.

Despite having a preference for structure, values true freedom of choice more so than any other patterns.

The Introverted Intuitive owns a crude brand of power that cannot be swayed — bona fide willpower.

They see the world less as a serious stadium for wisdom delineation than as a playground that reliably provides hedonistically and sensually explosive experiences. Amid even the most indulgent spurts of laughter, it is not uncommon for those with Extraverted Sensing to experience vast feelings of emptiness, numbly wondering whether everyone is right — that they are “missing the point.” It is painfully difficult to be independent and rely upon ones self if their cognitive tendencies are geared toward the near-total disinhibition of immediate impulses.

10. Can it be the Investigator - INFJ?

The Investigator is the Greyhound

Category: Introverted Intuitive.

Despite having a preference for structure, values true freedom of choice more so than any other patterns. The acutely potentiated nature of Introverted Intuition furnishes its users with priorities that may be described as transcendent. The Introverted Intuitive owns a crude brand of power that cannot be swayed — bona fide willpower.

Unless one has gradually developed well-articulated rapport with a high Introverted Intuitive, expect them to desire executing the polar opposite of your demands. They cannot stand arbitrarily following instructions.

E. Hunter™'s Ranker™: Fourth but in the top quadrant.

Under stressful conditions, the Investigator is more likely to insist upon the singularity of their vision, charged affirmatively or disconfirmingly, regardless of radically related factors. In other words, without coinciding sensory stimuli, their trajectory becomes incomprehensible.

The Agent is the Tibetan Terrier
