The dominant functions (the most interesting concepts of the overall theory to me) are described in many words, especially Ni. But to get more insightful ideas, I think we should entitle the functions by a category. Such as...

At war or similar: Te- commander, Ti- assassin, Fe- field medic, Se and Si- basic soldiers
General characters: Si- caveman, Se- zombie, Ni- wizard, Ti- that little grey alien

Or the functions could have awards like...
Most complicated: Ni, Most organized: Te, Friendliest: Fe, Most ruthless: Te, Most fun: Ne, Most impulsive: Se, Most dependent: Si, Most insightful/ understanding: Ni

Another way is to assign a symbolic icon:
Ni's vision/insight/foresight, Te's order, Ne's randomness/brainstorm, Ti's analysis or calculator/textbook, Fi's diary, Fe's affection

What are some other ideas or improvements you forum bloggers can spawn?

Some favorites of mine from some site are the negative aspects of the types.
Istp: assassin, Intp: nerd, Infj: messiah, and the infamous Intj: crackpot. I love that analogy. To me though, the term crackpot is just another way of saying that a concept is to great for reality.

Most fun would be Fe or Se.

Ne - geometric progression; Si - personal archive; Ni - crystal ball; Se - action/motion

Ti ~ Anti-authoritarians
Te ~ Masters of objectives

Fi ~ Impassioned
Fe ~ Compassioned

Ni ~ The perspective that renders our presence insignificant
Ne ~ The perspective of the distracted and bored

Si ~ The perspective of the familiar and incremental
Se ~ The perspective of the immediate possibilities

*facepalm*

Assuming that you need to be an INTJ to be a crackpot when relative to the INTJs the majority of society tends to be more irrational and/or in denial. Lets look at some shadowy INTJ figures since we are talking about extremes:

• Mr Darcy,
• Snape,
• and from the darker corners of non-fiction Albert Speer.

All are secretive but their "crackpot" saves society from itself while the world around them acts like real crackpots - Liz's family, the Ministry of Magic and the Nazis. If INTJs are crackpots then surely its relative to the rest of society, which deserve an appropriate title. But, if we take society to be average, then INTJs are merely secretive.

Its best not to confuse definitions by reinventing them whimsically. So its then more appropriate for:

INTJ: Secretive.
