Planned rewrite for Jungian cognitive functions Cognitive Functions, referred to as psychological functions by Carl Jung in his book Psychological Types, are mental processes within the psyche present regardless of "common circumstance". He lists them as thinking, feeling, intuition, and sensation. They were categorized as either rational (thinking and feeling) or irrational (intuition and sensation), with each having either an introverted or extraverted tendency, referred to as an 'attitude'. This concept is one of the foundations of his theory on personality type.

Thinking
Thinking is the process of conceptually connecting information in a way that is in accordance with its own laws. Jung differs this with passive thinking, writing that is not in accordance with an aim and lacks a sense of direction. It is instead referred to as "intuitive thinking". Jung also wrote that it is inherently disruptive to feeling and that feeling disrupts thinking, and cites it as the reason that a thinking function can't have a feeling auxiliary. It is also defined as ascribing what an object is, and the general process of cognitive thought.
