Fi <-- "critical parent" function

So, Fi actually does play a large role in the INFJ stack. Basically, the receiving and giving of criticism is filtered through Fi.
Isn't personality just conscious ego orientation? Those functions you outline are unconscious, and therefore part of the shadow. Your functions are so undifferentiated/unconscious at that level, that to give it some dorky name like "critical parent" seems like a reach to me. It's like anatomizing viscous goop.
I certainly never heard much from Jung or von Franz on this malarkey.
ETA: I realize you did not coin that terminology, and it's fairly conventional typological stuff. I'm not blaming you for the work of Robert Beebe (Beebe came up with this stuff, didn't he?). I just don't see the value in it, at this moment in time.
