The Building Blocks

FourCognitive Functions

Jung identified four fundamental ways humans perceive and judge information. Everyone uses all four—but in different orders and intensities.

S
Sensing→ Signal
Present reality, concrete facts, immediate action
Takes in information through the five senses. Focused on what IS, not what could be. Practical, detail-oriented, grounded in reality.
"What specifically happened? Give me the facts."
N
Intuition→ Opportunity
Patterns, possibilities, future potential
Perceives through patterns and possibilities. Sees connections others miss. Future-focused, imaginative, reads between the lines.
"What could this become? What's the bigger picture?"
F
Feeling→ Affect
Values, emotions, interpersonal dynamics
Evaluates based on personal values and impact on people. Empathetic, harmony-seeking, considers the human element in every decision.
"How does everyone feel about this? What matters here?"
T
Thinking→ Risk
Logic, analysis, consequences
Decides through objective analysis and logical consistency. Identifies flaws, weighs trade-offs, follows the chain of cause and effect.
"What are the logical consequences? Where's the flaw?"
The Connection

Jung→SOAR

SOAR isn't a new invention. It's Jung's cognitive functions, structured for AI-powered decision making.

The key insight: Your personality type determines which perspectives come naturally—and which require effort. SOAR gives you access to all four perspectives, regardless of your type.

The Result

Analysis ThatFits Your Brain

Generic AI Response

Here are some considerations for your decision:

On one hand, you could proceed with the project. On the other hand, there are risks to consider. It's important to weigh the pros and cons carefully.

You might also want to think about how others will react. Communication is key in these situations.

Same advice for everyone. No psychological grounding.
SOAR Response (For a Sensing-Lead)
S
Your move: Send the email today. Here's the exact wording...
O
Opportunity angle (for balance): What if this opens a door you haven't considered?
A
Affect check: They may feel blindsided. A heads-up call first?
R
Risk flag: If they say no, what's your backup plan?
Action-first for Sensing types. All four perspectives included.
