Within every INTP (TiNe) lurks an undeveloped ISFJ (SiFe).
And vice versa.

I think this is part of the odd attraction/annoyance the two types find with each other. They share all FOUR of their functions, so they can mesh very well by design and also act as a catalyst for the other...

... but the other person's strengths are their personal weaknesses and are bound to cause a lot of sparks if both people believe themselves to have a corner of truth and maturity.

The dynamic for INFP + ISTJ work the same way.
Interesting.
Te/Fi however inverts Ti/Fe and vice versa. Corresponding INTP: 4/5 > 1/8 and vice versa.

Look at it from another viewpoint. A continuum follows simple arithmetics:

Should Ti be the 1st function Fe is the 8th function:
9-8=1

9+9+9+9=36
8+8+8+8=32

36-32 = 4 = 1+1+1+1

Hence in a four-letter system one letter consists of a number 8?
No.

On the other hand yes, if we follow the Jennifer path. Let us forget about extroversion then.

The dicrepancy between INTP and INTP is zero.
Eight funtions. Hence eight zeroes.

INTP: 00000000

INFP: 40044004

INFJ: 26222262

ISFJ: 66222266

Check:

12345678
52381674
38527416
78563412

Declension 32 > 24 > 16 > 8
as it should be.

Hence INTP
Ti Ne Ni Te Fi Se Si Fe

INFP
Fi Ne Ni Fe Ti Se Si Te

INFJ
Ni Fe Fi Ne Si Te Ti Se

ISFJ
Si Fe Fi Se Ni Te Ti Ne





The discrepancy = 4.
What is the significance of the 4?

OK. Let us start again.

INTP. Ti is 1. Hence Fe is 8.
Hence Te is 4 and Fi is 5.

Say INTP = 12345678.

The discrepancy of INTP to INTP = 00000000.

What is the relationship of the discrepancy and the number of order?
