Absolute power and functions
No matter what type you are, your use of functions will always be limited by social, financial, moral and other kinds of restraints.
I have been thinking that individuals without such restraints - or with very few - would be most likely to indulge in using mainly their stronger functions and totally neglect their weaker ones.
So individuals with absolute or near absolute power should be the ones where function use is most clear.
Lord Acton said, "power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely"
I say; "power makes you focus on your stronger functions, absolute power makes you focus on them absolutely"
I can think of a few examples.
What do you think?

If by that you mean that an individual with an absolute power will shape the realm of their existance to fit their own type, I absolutely agree.

I disagree, save for..... the person being very, very basic and uncultivated.
