You have a clear distaste for Fi, which you've admitted to in the past, and it's showing here. This is only going to reinforce the desire to of the OP to be Ni-dom.
Fi is rigid and arbitrary? Fe has external purpose and works towards common goals? But by implication, Fi doesn't? I mean, come on dude, the negative connotations to your word choices and phrasing for Fi is obvious, as are the positive connotations for Fe....no wonder so many INFPs fight the Fi-dom label.
Everything I said applies equally to Ti.
I have a distaste for Ji in general, not just Fi.
I just have a little bit better firsthand understanding of Ti than Fi, and nobody ever seems to ask about the differences between Ti and Te. If they did, my response would be very similar to my explanation of Fi/Fe.
Suffice it to say I find Ti equally annoying and constantly wish I didn't have to use it for internal judgments. The fact that it doesn't take in any information from the outside world and also subjectively validates itself is pretty bothersome--Ti is totally unaware that its own conceptions of logic are just as subjective as Fi's conceptions of ethics.
Where to begin ... you're touchy on this topic; sorry to have upset you.
And really, I find you fascinating.
Tell me what has colored your perceptions of INFP in such a negative, 2-D, rather bitter way. I imagine you will just ignore this request, but if you are brave, tell me who has broken your heart.
This entire last post is why Fi bugs the crap out of me.
1) Erroneous assumption that I'm upset/being touchy,
2) Arbitrary assumption that I don't have similarly negative criticisms of other types and other functions (which I do if you'd like to go and check my posting history),
3) Baseless assumption that an INFP has "broken my heart." The most painful relationship failure I've ever had was with an ISTJ; in fact, I've only briefly dated one INFP and I was the one who broke it off,
4) Condescending implication that I will "just ignore" your request,
5) Inability to recognize all these things about yourselves.
Virtually every case of anyone being critical of INFPs/Fi results in INFPs complaining that they're being unfairly criticized or singled out. All generalized criticism of NFPs is interpreted as a personal attack singling them out, which is simply not the case. (Look at the INTP critique I just finished in the ENTP/INTP thread.)
When you look at it in context, I have a lot of criticisms of every type and every function, which I'll be glad to explain if you want to hear it--but you don't, you'd rather just invent an emotional back story and imagine hostility that isn't there, because that makes you more comfortable. So carry on.
P.S.,
6) Total inability to garner any useful information from anything even remotely critical. Once it gets "personal", INFPs completely shut off to learning anything because they're too busy getting offended/imagining emotional back stories for everyone else/erroneously perceiving hostility when it's not there. Why didn't you bother responding to any of my Fi/Fe comparisons?
You completely ignored the useful and relevant content to focus on your own unfounded theories of emotional dynamics--that is why you are annoying.
I'm more sensitive to it in real life because the consequences of pissing people off there are much worse than online, but here, I just don't even bother. If it makes you happy, I was abused and brutally beaten and raped daily by INFP parents, bullied by INFP children and then dumped by 12 consecutive INFP women. Happy?
