I just got more insight on the purposefullness and hidden agendas of some that I know. I must say, I've been more kind, well-meaning and open than I thought of, in comparison to the people I've compared myself against.
I'm not sure if this is Te's domain. I think I do support Te, prefer it, etc.. I just think that with my methods, I've actually (objectively, I believe) been more idealistic, I've been more motivated by feeling, values, being together, in harmony, etc than I've thought of. I've thought of having recognized my Fi.. is this is a sign of weak or strong Fi?
I've also tried to get rid of my idealism in the last few years; they haven't brought me cash in my wallet. And I do need it.
So. I've seen myself as someone comparatively harsh, scheming, plotting, doing individual. Okay, MBTI is about preferences. I've often wished to take the most direct course possible, sometimes a more tactful route, so that at least makes me a fan-boy of Te. What does that tell about the real strength of my Te? My real preferences?
I really seem like a moody poet-boy in comparison to some non-ENTJs I know, if we get deeper than the surface. Okay, I seem like a harsh, blunt and brave individual on the surface, but looks can be decieving.
Okay, so what type would I be then, if this scenario were true?
I'd have high Fi or Fe, I'm not sure which. High T (at least one of them) remains. High N remains. I should be some type who's inclined to idealize as opposed to strategize. INFP?
Thoughts?
