Isn't it interesting how similar the Fi traits listed here are to traits commonly (mis)understood as NF?

Of most interest to me...here goes...

F1: I subjectively use my emotions to inform me of what is important to me
0...I can't understand this statement, as what's important to me must go through a rational critique such that the conclusion reached is where it's what's most important (regardless of 'me') for anyone given the situation I currently am in, if they were to be in my place.

F2: I seek to know what is truly important to me, my deeply held values
2...I wish I did, but, I have very few things that are immovable (there are a few) but nothing that I can say with certainty are not falsifiable.

F3: I am aware of universal personal values
1...I don't think anything is concretely universal, esp. personal values? Or I'm not understanding. Only thing I can think of is, compassion in humans. But, I don't know if that's universal as a personal value?

F4: I maintain internal harmony and personal integrity by adhering to my deeply held values
0...this would do the opposite of maintaining my internal harmony...being that deeply invested in *one* [set of] things. I'd feel claustrophobic.

F5: I know what is truly important to me and use this knowledge to guide decisions
1...what is truly important to a given situation, or a given goal, nothing really in terms of me. The only time the 'me' variable is relevant is in terms of being a catalyst by making the 'me' happy, thus, motivated, towards said anticipated results/goals.

F6: I value all living things, attempting to allow each to maintain its own integrity
5...YES!

F7: I assess other people’s emotional states by reading my own internal reactions.
2, in some ways, yes, because I can feel when I'm bugging, or iritating someone, or someone was touched by something I said, and it's this feeling invoked in me (e.g., Q, you're being a pest), which I know is becuase I'm mirroring what the other is giving off.

F8: I judge ideas, attitudes and behaviors according to my values
0... my values would then need to be judged as well for it to be coherent. And, then, there's a question of who will do *that* judging, and so on, thus, I don't even bother in the first place.

F9: I crusade for what is right even if it creates tension with the external world and may endanger a personal relationship
5...but, what's right is again, what is right for the situation, not what is right for me.

These were my Fi results from when I did this awhile back. Not sure of accuracy but interesting observations at least. I downgraded ,myself a bit as when I first took this I did not have zero as an option:

Fi is worthy of special consideration. It is should be my auxiliary but the results were very odd and were less than Ti.

1 F1: I subjectively use my emotions to inform me of what is important to me
1 F2: I seek to know what is truly important to me, my deeply held values
1 F3: I am aware of universal personal values
4 F4: I maintain internal harmony and personal integrity by adhering to my deeply held values
3 F5: I know what is truly important to me and use this knowledge to guide decisions
5 F6: I value all living things, attempting to allow each to maintain its own integrity
4 F7: I assess other people’s emotional states by reading my own internal reactions.
1 F8: I judge ideas, attitudes and behaviors according to my values
5 F9: I crusade for what is right even if it creates tension with the external world and may endanger a personal relationship

This was odd. The first tasks should be the easiest and then grow more difficult. Yet my trended backwards.

Values? What exactly are those? I had to resort to googling “values” on the crackberry. Then I sent out an email to six folks asking how they defined the term “personal values”. I throw it around as needed, but when it came time to list mine, I didn’t really know what it meant.

As an Fi, if you don’t understand what the term values means, you may want to work on that….

However do I fight to defend them, maintain personal integrity, and crusade for what is right to maintain those values? Hell, yeah! Hmmm, this could be a problem…
The exercises in the book that allow you to develop the individual items confirmed the above scores to some extent.

F1: I had a hard time identifying things I would die for, things I passionately care about, and feeling how others are feeling or naming my own emotions. I don’t really have any.

F2: I finally determined my values: Authenticity, honesty, empathy, individualism, creativity, intelligence are the things I value in others and myself. Other things like teamwork, caring for others, and so on could be reduced to these terms. However this was not easy. Many of these seem more Ne than Fi but again I am at a loss.

My Explanation: I repress and confine my emotions. So I don’t actually “feel” emotions much of the time. I know what I “should” feel, I have “tones” of that emotion that seep up and influence me, but I do not feel “emotions” strongly enough to give me definitive information about what is important to me. Fi is more like a deeply buried arrow that orients me subconsciously. I act on the orientation without really understanding the root. I will defend it and fight for it, but do so at a distance from the emotion itself.

(i won't give up on someone because they don't have the same exact principles as me because then, i wouldn't have ANY friends, so I practice tolerance and acceptance that not everyone have my principals, but that doesn't mean they are bad people, they are just not me. if it is extremely controversial, i may make a fuss. but if making a fuss won't do anything, won't solve anything and it is not like she believes genocide is good, i can let it go)
