Yes. Alpha male battling - that's social jockying. There is more to the idea of social position than just a formal statement of upper, middle, working class or whatever. Even convicted criminal in jail have social levels. That almost pack level of social class sorting is the level poor Fe will sometimes work at.
but that alpha male battling has nothing to do with social status for me, its just pure entertainment -> its nothing as you described, and since its just pure fun, its not about some social position and Fe that you are talking about.
what i meant with that last part about "classical intj not understanding the situation", was exactly this. Te sees battle, Fi makes an assumption that this person wants to challenge me, Se sees what is happening and Ni puts these parts together in a twisted way, simply because none of those functions are aimed to look at why this person is doing this, and getting to the conclusion using objective deduction and trying to see behind the actions.
Te sees that the person is challenging me and decides that i must do a counter attack or i will lose.
Fi generates unconscious subjective simulation about the reasons why the other persons is acting like this and challenging me. because of the subjective nature of this simulation, the intj is using his own reasons on why this person is using this type of approach, not the intps reasoning. and because of the unconscious nature of this simulation, the intj is not able to see why this would be true or false, he just feels that he is attacking because this.
Se just sees whats going on, again without looking behind the show and trying to understand why.
Ni just puts all of these together, generating view of the big picture and the intj is convinced that this is how it goes because he trusts this function so much and doesent question it.
but what ever, i bet you are just as stubborn as my friend and you wont understand this and challenge your Ni, even tho it should be crystal clear to anyone who is able to read.
So you are saying that an INTPs highest functions are the ones that cause them to become indecisive and uncertain? That turns the theory inside out. Those are the areas they are most sure of themselves. They may make mistake, as intelligence is outside function theory... but being paralysed into confused inaction? Unlikely. I think the weak Si (certainty of knowledge) and Fe (action towards social needs) are far more likely.
Reading this, and some of the other things you have written, lead me to believe you are using a very different set of ideas of what the functions are. I don't agree with what you think Fe, Te, Ne or Se (probably not the other four either). With no common ground for what function theory even does, I doubt this will go any where useful, so I'm inclined to call it a day.
what theory is it turning upside down? the one that says that types are lead mainly by their first and second function? do you think that lower functions are the ones that cause uncertainty in the type? if so its just that when using the lower functions the type is uncertain if the function is giving him the right answer, again classical intj thinking to not to be able to tell these totally different two things apart.
instead of just saying that you disagree with me, try to explain whats wrong with my idea of the functions
and why yours is the right one or this will last forever.
