I think both Ti and Fi doms share a sense of autonomy in the world. There is some 'to each their own' mentality. It is more the external judging functions that seek to create structure in the external world, which is some cases can mean influencing and moderating behaviors. While I tend towards the autonomous way of being, I do want to emphasize the important contribution that can be made by 'bossy' people. Teachers of large groups of unruly students can only be successful if they can impose order on them. This requires personality traits more closely connected with 'bossiness'. Sometimes people do need to be bossed, but isn't that generally an extroverted judging kind of thing? I don't want to sound like I'm putting a negative quality onto it which is why I tried to clarify the importance of affecting external order and change.
I would think the bigger problem for Ti or Fi doms is lack of communication. I think those functions tend to fail when people form internal negative judgement and fail to communicate it, so that they end up lost in their little world and don't actually solve the communication problems. At least the bossy people put it all out on the table and everyone knows what everyone thinks.
I could be wrong about it, but that's my impression. There has been some distortions to both Fi-doms and INFJs in the MBTI literature over the past several year, once again, in my impression of it.
