Everything I do is from a third-person perspective. The "I" is a social nicety.
I agree.
Don't forget your INTP brethren in this one
I, for one, am extremely detatched. Though I'm also quite ENTP-ish functionally. Objective truth ranks in top priority, and my mind is always Ni-ing about, filling in missing puzzle pieces of a larger story. Fi sneaks in there when I'm to take a stand on a value judgment, and it's constantly affected by the newest piece of information I've gathered which can make the most humane, most functional, etc effect.
True, there's those little INTPs. I guess my first thought was, they have enough issues accessing F as it is, Fe being 4th, that it's too premature/unfair to add more complexity such as Fi.
yeah...it is
although Si fuelled Fe can appear to be mimicking Fi. its an unknown territory and somewhat finicky when approached
i found if i busy myself with highly technical stuff, the third person can sometimes take the back seat. when im working and if there is absolutely any brainpower on idle, it will be used up by me watching myself think...and so everything is in third person.
i found that learning about a new topic is done best by being fully immersed in it with no overhead thinking while application of that learning is done best with some overhead watching me and keeping my actions in check...and so catching my mistakes before they are made
You know, there's some truth to what you say about Fe/Si mimicking Fi. What is past (memories) will be my own, and add to that the realm of F, I can see how some weird form of Fi can be manifested. And, since it's a weird form, it may be even more foreign for us to handle or figure out what the hell to do with it.
As for the learning differences (theory vs. application), I can see your argument too. Although, when I learn theory, IA, there's this focus in me (something like an INTJ comes out)...so yeah, I can see the "Fi", but, for me, there's no conscious 'me' orientation, as much as it is a focus on the knowledge itself. It's a full immersion (or trying to) where I don't even know myself from the knowledge I'm trying to acquire. But, I can see how accessing Fi would help in giving honest evaluation of how much I think I know/learned. I just don't think it's very conscious for me, more like a gut 'feeling' of knowing what I know/don't know. Si maybe?
