A dominant-tertiary loop occurs when an individual of any type switches to dwelling exclusively in the social realm they are most comfortable in–that is, extroversion for extroverts and introversion for introverts. They will neglect the input of their auxiliary function and move directly from their dominant function to their tertiary one while taking in new information and making decisions. This leads to a temporary (or in some cases pervasive) imbalance in personality–extroverted types lose touch with their inner world, whereas introverted types lose touch with their external environments.
