Cognitive functions and pessimism...

I know, this sub mainly aims towards philosophical pessimism rather than psychological pessimism. But was wondering if there could be a comparison of Jungian types to philosophical pessimism since Jung's works are considered highly metaphysical rather than pure psychology.

I made some posts about cognitive functions in other subs, like,

  1. Brief description of Irrational Functions

  2. Comparison of Kantian terms to Jung's types

  3. And possible types of some philosophers

In short, the eight functions are,

  1. Se
  2. Si
  3. Ne
  4. Ni
  5. Fe
  6. Fi
  7. Te
  8. Ti

But what I mostly aim to write is that, some functions (some groups of people) lean towards pessimism more often than others. Usually, people with high feelings and intuition are more pessimistic (and also depressive) than others.

Here, people who have low/blind/inferior Se (Extroverted sensing) tend to prioritize on introspection more than everyday concrete events. In contrast to it, visionary people (mostly found in Ni) oftentimes become more pessimistic.

On the other hand, people with more subjective values (mostly found in Fi) also appear to be more pessimistic because of lack existential values found in society. Therefore, most pessimistic functions and groups of people are - INFP, INFJ, INTJ, ENFP.

Emil Cioran, Philipp Mainlander, Giacomo Leopardi look like immediate INFPs to me. Whereas, Schopenhauer and Thomas Ligotti sound like Ni-dom philosophers.
