Opinion on accuracy of the following

ISxJ's Cling to dominant perspective. Criticize NP's as irresponsible regarding learned knowledge
INxJ's Cling to dominant perspective. Criticize SP's as reckless
IxTP's Appear insensitive or unfeeling and openly complain about FJ types.
IxFP's Criticize others' organization
ESxP's Criticize this stuff as irrelevant.
ENxP's Dismissed learned methods as irrelevant
ExTJ's Become defensive and develop a martyrdom complex where it's everyone else's ethics that are bad.
ExFJ's Criticize others as illogical.

Interesting idea, and I can see some possibilities in what you've outlined here. Is the premise saying that each type is criticizing their own flaws in others, or that each type is criticizing the opposite flaw in others? The IxTPs do complain about FJ types, but in that case I'm not sure it's projection.

One I'm not sure about are the ExFJs. I think perhaps online there are times in debate where the focus is on logic, but in real life it seems more like the criticism is that others are lazy and not doing enough, at least when related to projects they value.

I'm reckless af myself, though I hate it when I get into those moods. I end up damaging something terribly along the way and have since learned to stop doing it, though I'm still reckless with forbidden foods.

I relate to all of the bold ones so I'm not sure what that says about me... probably that I'm too judgemental :whistling:

I can see some relevancy in our inferior function being one of our greatest weaknesses and therefore we see it in others a lot and criticize it.
