So, the observable Se traits tend to be the ones focused on to differentiate SPs from other temperaments, so if we aren't showing much of those at any given time, people can confuse us for other types, like INFPs, because we have that same depth of feeling and we don't happen to be all INYOFACE at that particular time we're being observed.

Yep! Expressing Fi looks like an expression of the Idealist temperament to all those Myers Briggs and Keirsey fans who haven't figured out that half of the NFs don't even prefer Fi anyway, and wouldn't be good at it if required to use it instead of the Fe they prefer.
