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.

Ah, okay, that gives me more context for what you were thinking and why you brought E/I into it.

iow, those with Fe as their primary function (ExFJ) are more inclined to look at the well-being of the group as a host, while those with it as a secondary function (IxFJ) are more inclined to think about the inner-harmony of each individual as a host? Is that what you're suggesting? And so forth? (I see some possibilities there.)

And would T have a similar schematic for anything?
