Development of functions and age.

I was watching one of Davesuperpower's video's and he said that the 2nd function is usually developed much later in life. I'm assuming in the 20s. What has been your experience with this and when did you see the most development in your 2nd, 3rd and 4th functions?

Dave would be inaccurate. The auxiliary function starts to develop around puberty and through the teen years. The tertiary function can begin to develop as early as twenties on upwards and finally the inferior function can begin to develop from late mid thirties onwards.

These are all in generalised terms where individuals will vary.

Nothing develops a non-dominant feeling function faster than a romantic relationship. There's a strong incentive to be empathetic and to understand her values, and a strong reward for success.

Hmm. It may have been like this:

Arising some confusion in others, Ni would develop very early and yet not too quickly.

As to pronounced functions, Te would develop next.

But unseen Fi would develop very slowly even before that.

Se would arguably develop first, but arguably again in somewhat the wrong direction.

Or not.
