So, can you clearly subdivide Fi and Fe into interpersonal and intrapersonal, or are they different systems that simply overlap somewhat?

Yes, it might be a problem as it's just a hypothesis. They may correspond too closely to Fi and Fe? It struck me, though, on one of the MBTI tests I took that measured Fe in terms of a desire to host and care for the well-being of the group. Groups overwhelm me and I process feeling in the outside world, but care more for the inner-harmony of each individual rather than the harmony 'between' individuals. I saw this system as potentially defining my process in a way that MBTI hasn't. That is part of where this came from. It helped me to distinguish between a number of contrasting emotional processing styles that are quite noticeable, but not accounted for - at least as my knowledge of it goes.
