I suppose it could, but it would be totally faked and used only for the purpose of deceiving people. Maybe these people exist but are just sociopaths--they usually follow rules and laws but only for fear of punishment. They have no inherent belief in any kind of morality beyond self-preservation, internal or external.
One might imitate others' moral behavior in an attempt to appear to be moral, but is this really true morality, if it's only an act for the purpose of deceiving others?
I believe this is correct. Even as I was writing "You scratch my back, I scratch yours..." I was thinking of Tony Soprano.
But maybe if such people do exist, they have extreme personality disorders or mental disabilities.
Yep
You've got an interesting point about Ti/Te and Fi/Fe, but what would an Fi+Fe person do when his personal feeling contradicts the external standard for the way he should feel?
Well, speaking from personal experience, I believe I've had many Fi/Fe conflicts in my life...what the group or other people need or is considered "right" conflicting with my personal feelings, creating either guilt or frustration.
We all have the various functions, and I really disagree with your insistance that this is impossible.
Of course, I acknowledge that I also have "pseudo-Fe" in the form of my Fi realizing that in order to get what I want, that it would be most effective (Te) to do what other people consider good behavior.
