so according to the last part of the video, would it be safe to say that an ENFP might relax with some sort of mellow, consistent routine that held sentimental value to them? for me, this manifests itself in my tastes in tea. I'm OCD about all the details of it's preparation and which types of tea I buy and go insane without my morning cup of tea

Yes, this sounds like a good example.

What would Se as an inferior function look like for an INFJ? How about Fe for INTP?

For me (INFJ) it's very kinesthetic. It can also influence a state that feels almost super-human. I would categorize it as mostly dull, raw sensation that's very influential on behavior and motivation. Drinking, sex, weight lifting, loud music etc. can all be manifestations of Se inferior for INFJ.

INFJ: Obsessing over details that aren't relevant to the big picture. Taking impulsive action prematurely in attempt to live in/enjoy the present.

INTP: Viewing society or certain individuals as making bad moral judgements against them, getting upset when around too much conflict, acting uncharacteristically irrational.

Yeah, I think I relate to the INTP more in this case.

Oh really? But you identify as INFJ? Could you describe times where these eruptions were relevant in your life?
Well, I think it stems from a refusal or inability to see myself objectively. Whenever someone criticizes me, whether it's constructive criticism or not, there's a part of me that believes they're trying to take me down. I have a tendency to elevate myself above humanity, a tendency that has no doubt cost me quite a bit interpersonally, financially, academically, etc.

Though I should add, I have been in situations where I've had to sweat details a lot. It's very unnerving.
