Someone who is Fi dom will likely ponder the sincerity of others a bit more than what is average.
I would imagine that Fi-doms are much much tougher and more resilient than people commonly suppose. It comes with instinctively being able to regulate emotional energy flows. Other types may not be such slaves to their emotions/values, but life eventually throws up emotional challenges to even the most stolid TJ-types, and when that happens those types often just fall to pieces.

I don't think thats necessarily a good thing
What advantages are there from being an Fi-dom in modern society?

making friends easily enough (compared to T types, that is), manipulation (Fi sees hidden agendas, so it's pretty easy to do this), egocentricism --> intrinsic motivation --> art for art's sake, so they say
it doesn't directly influence society. it doesn't alter its flow directly or anything. Fi, i think, is the most useless but most interesting function. Fi = a never-ending search for the meaning of life --> poetry, music..
Yeah, I'm pretty sensitive, but that sensitivity has made me a resilient bastard. It's hard to keep me down. It's like going to the gym and lifting weights. Suddenly, when someone needs 200 pounds of emotional weight lifted, it's no problem for me to help. I form some amazing connections with people that can appreciate that.
It's nice understanding emotions. They aren't mysterious or intimidating to me. I can see their complexity, and it gives me power to see people in interesting ways.
That's an awesome way to put it. What I really appreciate is when an INFP cares for you, they can embrace the whole you, flaws and all, without judging. They're not afraid of the deep, dark places of the mind, and even if they cannot pull you out of it, they'll be there to hold your hand until you find your way out.
