Functional Order: Ni/Fe/Ti/Se
Dominant Function: Ni
Mal planned out a scheme based on cause and effect, knowledge of the subject, and long-term goal-setting, to force Cobb to come with her wherever she went. She and her husband were both studying dreams, the art of symbolism, and this is reflected in her dialogue in the film. She’s interested in symbols and parallels, in how two pieces of a puzzle connect together, and how it all fits into her preconceived idea of the world. She’s entirely focused on the future, of her and Cobb’s.
Auxillairy Function: Fe
Mal is quick to sense the mood and express her own feelings about a subject. She’s quite emotionally manipulative and exhibits some of the negative Fe stereotypes - too clingy, too convinced that her own idea of emotional peace and satisfaction is best, and needs to be imposed on others. She often reacts quite emotionally, even violently, when a situation doesn’t turn out like she wants it to.
Tertiary Function: Ti
She tends to take any new information she comes across, analyze it, and decide how to fit it into her preconceived notion of how the world works. She’s thoughtful and analytical and sees how things are all connected.
Inferior Function: Se
She tends to overthink her sensory environment and rarely acts on impulse; everything she does is calculated. Her entire motive is a kind of distrust of the now, of what she takes in with her senses. Her dreams and inner ideas trump her environment.
