Fi is subjective and irrational
How then can an Fi user even function?
Fi is "existing in the mind" and "without the faculty of reason" ...
Ooooh this is why we tread on dangerous grounds ...
sub⋅jec⋅tive
–adjective
1. existing in the mind; belonging to the thinking subject rather than to the object of thought (opposed to objective ).
2. pertaining to or characteristic of an individual; personal; individual: a subjective evaluation.
3. placing excessive emphasis on one's own moods, attitudes, opinions, etc.; unduly egocentric.
ir⋅ra⋅tion⋅al
–adjective
1. without the faculty of reason; deprived of reason.
2. without or deprived of normal mental clarity or sound judgment.
3. not in accordance with reason; utterly illogical: irrational arguments.
4. not endowed with the faculty of reason: irrational animals.
I do think TPs tend to be more objective/rational than FPs in the common usage of the terms, but in MBTI terms they're equivalent in subjectivity and rationality.
I did see this too, yet poki's conclusions are in contradiction. This is the crux I think - even though they are equal in MBTI terms, do Ti users see Fi users as equally rational? Me thinks not. How subjective!
