Identifying the Rank of Myers-Briggs Functions

First, examine the last letter in the type; this will determine which function is extraverted:

XXXJ
XXXP

If it is J, it will be the Judging Function (Thinking or Feeling)

If it is P, it will be the Perceiving Function (Sensing or Intuition)

Next, look at the first letter in the type; this indicates whether the dominant function is introverted or extraverted:

EXXX
IXXX

If it is E, the extraverted function (identified above) is the dominant function; the other (introverted) is the auxiliary

If it is I, the extraverted function is the auxiliary; the introverted is the dominant
