THE OFFICIAL NXT DEFINITIONS

Analyzer

Analyzer belongs to one of the four Type Drives in the NXT personality framework. If you are new or unfamiliar with the topic, do refer to the Introduction of Type Drive for more information.

Overview

Analyzing Function Pairs are Extraverted Perceiving and Introverted Judging Cognitive Functions, operating together to make objective observations and subjective decisions by examining externally for unfamiliar knowledge and evaluating internally with personal opinions.

To put it briefly, the act of Analyzing involves discovering new information for themselves.

Analyzers have an Exploring Function and Evolving Function among their Dominant and Supportive Function. This means that either Extraverted Sensing (SE) or Extraverted Intuition (NE) will be paired with either Introverted Thinking (TI) or Introverted Feeling (FI).

To provide greater clarity and understanding of the descriptions above, below are the key definitions for the specific terms used.
