That's what they're also supposed to be in Socionics and I've found they're pretty accurate. I will warn everyone that the Jungian descriptions of functions are pretty mystical and esoteric, and really don't line up with the MBTI-style popular conceptions or OCEAN traits or what-have-you at all, although they're also pretty concrete and fairly easily measured and actually a lot more well-defined than "personality traits". (I mean, I'm never sure how to answer the ubiquitous "would you prefer a book or a party?" question, since there are a lot of different kinds of books and parties as well as outside events that could influence my decision, for instance).
