Hi, we'll come back to the Personality Hacker podcast. My name is Joel Mark Witt and I'm

Antonio Dodge. This week we're continuing a two-part series. This is part two of a series

talking about respecting our 10-year-old or what's technically called our tertiary cognitive

function in our personality. On the last episode we talked about the four judging functions

at the 10-year-old position and in this episode we're going to cover the four

perceiving functions at the 10-year-old or tertiary position.

Right, and last time we discussed not just our respect for that 10-year-old or tertiary

position, but also some of the virtues that are within the grasp of those judging functions,

meaning that obviously anybody of any type can develop any virtue, but each of the judging

functions has an accessibility to certain virtues or things it values. We're going to talk

about the perceiving functions which are a little less associated with this idea of virtue,

because the perceiving functions are more about basically information. They don't have a hierarchy

of things that they're evaluating. They're not making should statements about the world, and so

virtue is a little more removed from these functions. I like to think of this as less about

virtue as it is more about the accessibility to wisdom. We've done podcasts before on a

model called DIKW, which stands for data, information, knowledge, and wisdom, and that is a

progression of the value of information basically. Data just simply means pieces, random pieces

of information. You could see it is almost like the ones and zeros of the world, but when we

organize that information together and understand its meaning, then now we have a more sophisticated

version of this called information, and information is what the meaning of this data is.

Once we apply this information, then we move into a place of knowledge, and that is basically applied

information. It's how this information interacts with reality and the outside world. It's a lot more
