Oh that's socionics, not Jungian types. I don't relate to socionics Fi very much at all & may not even be a Fi type in that system. It sounds ways too....Fe. I use MBTI & Jungian Fi.
Well, keep in mind that you are a socionics INFj, also. They go by whether the dominant function is judging or percieving. Since I am an introverted thinker, and not an introverted intuitive by any stretch, I am an INTj.
Socionics is derived from Jung... I've been looking at that to learn more about what the functions are. I haven't been able to find any other source that "systematizes" the functions so well. If you know of one, let me know.
ESFPs are most critical of my moods, but these are often the e7s who don't want people raining on their happy parade. I think it's a sensitivity to others' moods in the sense that they take it personally - you don't like them, you're mad at them, etc. But many I know are moody themselves & mostly forgiving of it in others.
I'm not sure if the people I'm thinking of are e7s or not, but it drives me nuts. Just telling me to "be happy" doesn't do anything! If it was, then why are there any unhappy in the world at all?
I will agree there is a difference with Fi-dom and Fi-aux in general too. EFPs "parent" others with Fi, if you go by function models. But this usually means a kind of championing of the underdog.
It can take that form, but I don't really like when people pity me, because then I always get the sense that they think I would be more happier if I became like them. But I tried being an SP/NF for 4-6 years in my early 20s, and it didn't make me that happy.
EFPs can come off as very opinionated too, IMO, but they tend to direct it at ideas/things (Pe) over individual people.
Do you mean ENFPs? Or was that not a typo. It seems like the ESFP might have a cause, but maybe only one or two of them... otherwise, they're more likely to have opinions about people, which makes them come off as pragmatic rather than idealistic. To be honest, though the image of an ENFP in my mind is the stereotypical hippy. Although, like stereotypes usually are, that's probably way off the mark for most of the actual ENFPs here.
The IxFPs are often more "buttoned down'' than their extraverted counterparts, and it's not unusual for them to be (note the lowercase) much more conservative in their habits.
That sounds like the INFJs to me. They seem seriously pained to admit any flaw in themselves.
My sister is an INFJ, and that doesn't sound like her. She probably has had, over the course of her lifetime, worse self-esteem issues than I ever did.
I don't know any Fi-dom who desire or promote that reputation. A lot complain that INFP profiles are too saccharine
Come to think of it, you're right. They sort of don't like people who are "goody two-shoes" or are too self-sacrificing, either.
& they wonder briefly if they are INTPs because they are not that "nice" and can get cynical about the world (dashed idealism).
Ah, but under every cynic is an idealist. Somewhere inside me is an idealist, as well. I've let it out of it's cage a few times recently here. I think dopey sweet thoughts sometimes, but I usually don't reveal them to people unless I'm very familiar with them and I trust them... like "wow man, we really are all one species." It makes me want to roll my eyes to read that I even wrote that, yet I cannot help but feel that on some level, it's true.
