Not at all. The penalties of crosstype to unconscious functions can be extreme. For example, Einstein's F never developed. The obsession with finding a middle ground at all times could be said to have completely subjugated his ability to relate to people on a "feeler's" level. In basic typed thinkers this ability matures at mid-life crisis. (as you may have heard...?) But in a genius/archetypally appraising mind the fifth function takes on the role of the eighth. (because the eighth doesn't exist) This is why so few people understood him.Originally Posted by Rick
There are great intellectuals in history who have been understood far better.
