  17. Developing Your Abilities • 4 Functions: Dominant, Auxiliary, 3rd and 4th. • Birth to 6: Born with a blueprint. Not evident. • 6 to 12: Dominant function starts to show. Patterns of behavior become clearer. • 12 to 25: Strengthen auxiliary function to balance dominant function. 3rd and 4th functions fall into line (still undeveloped). • 25 to 50: Develop 3rd function; mid-life crisis. Time to reassess to change priorities! Later 4th function develops. • 50+: Drawn to use 4th function more successfully. It requires concentration.
