I don't think the behavior is arbitrarily pinned to Ni, I'm just question whether you would obtain such an extreme reaction from an ISP.Do you think this behavior is being arbitrarily pinned to "Ni" without justification?
Can the root of this behavior really be pinned to anything? Or is it more of a combination, an anomaly, that can't be analyzed with personality theories?
The Ni function is known to be paranoia inducing. INFJs have auxillary Fe... There are somethings I would defend/become judgmental about based on my principles... which seems completely irrational to people. And if you ask me to back it up with reasons I can't.
My problem with her take of tertiary function (and that of most MBTI theorists) is their very stagnant view of function use in types. That people develop and can effectively use their dominant and auxillary and that's it. Why is it that tertiary and shadow functions are negated to the role of problematic functions and nothing else? In my experiences, people do eventually develop their tertiary function. So for a balanced ISP, they should have sufficient control of their tertiary that this kind of behavior is minimized.
