If you do not have this order, you're not an INTJ. It's as simple as that. E.g.: If Fi is stronger than Te, then the order of the functions changes and you become another type.
Ni, Ti, Te, Fi, Se, Ne, Si, Fe -- Okay, well since I don't fit the INTJ thing, and I'm definitely Ni-dominant, then I must be INFJ, but wait! My Fe's the bottom of the barrel. Well, let's try INTP then, eh? Er, no, my function order's messed up for that too. Hm, if I tweaked it a bit, perhaps I could come out ENTJ... Okay, fine, if I tweaked it a lot...

Bah, screw it! *morphs into ESFP*


In response to the OP, I don't often feel drained by it, but that's because I spend enough time alone to compensate. I think the issue some IxTJs have with Te is that Te is a very demanding function, and it can be draining for an introvert to use it for too long. I wouldn't be suprised if extroverts sometimes felt drained by it as well. I tend to like it, though. Especially after I've had plenty of time to not use it, because the minute it's kicked up, I kind of get on a production binge, and suddenly everything that needed to be done is taken care of. It's a good feeling, though it can get out of hand if I let it.
