"feeling pulled to help someone based on how they're feeling" I have this too and neglect my own health sometimes. I actually relate to feeling pulled to help someone more than feeling the emotion (even though there's quite a bit of that too).
I could see Fi + Te functioning like Fe, except this pair has a very coherent set of beliefs that will be enacted despite environment. I have a core set of ethics, and it seems to get lost when other people are around.
Fe and Fi are both values-based so they deal with things like importance. Fe perceives the world in a sort of social light, seeing the importance of things with regards to the objective situation, e.g. society. Fi perceives the personal importance of something. It's like how Se perceives what is on front of it objectively, whereas Si uses what is in front of it to go into its mind and refer to something remembered, e.g. a previous experience with that object. Ne perceives the environment with regards to novel things that could be done in the moment, whereas Ni uses what is there as a means to form internal speculations. Te looks at the systemic dynamics of what's in front of it, e.g. if something is functioning correctly, whereas Ti forms an internal systemic representation.
The "feeling pulled to help" thing is very prominent with Fe. Fe, when compared with Fi, is highly action focused. Fi might see a person suffering and think "what is the internal cause of this suffering? How could I understand this person and then fix their issues?" so it's more cognitive rather than direct action focused.
Another thing with Fe and Fi is emotions. For Fe, emotions are experienced to be nearer to the surface, as a sort of tool for changing the dynamics of the situation, whereas Fi feels emotions more deeply - they're more of an internal reaction.
I'll say that helping others is one of the most motivating things for me. If I know that I can take action to help a person, then I will be inspired and can make a lot of effort in doing so. Helping myself on the other hand is comparatively more difficult. As a more not-in-the-moment example, when considering work prospects, I'm not motivating by making money for myself, but I am motivating by doing work which will help other people, so I need to keep that in mind when thinking of what to do. I don't know how that compares with other types, like if say a TJ would be much more motivated by personal success or not*, but that's how it works for me.
For considering the idea of beliefs, I'll use the example of typology. Ti's beliefs would be systemic, so something like "there are 8 cognitive functions which relate to each other in a certain way, and manifest in a particular order as a configuration of all 8 of them", whereas Fi's beliefs on the subject might be something along the lines of "no type is better than any other type", "there is much more to a person than just their type code".
Now, if you've internalised the type model fairly well, what you should be able to do is to think about a particular function or type and your brain will automatically - if you do it right - reconfigure itself in line with that function/type. For example, you might think of Se, and notice that you become more aware of what's around you in the environment. Doing so for all functions and a range of types will give you a concrete impression of your idea of each of those functions/types, and you can use that to determine which best fits how you naturally function (with natural functioning not being just a pure type and actually having all 8 functions, but with certain characteristics that showing more strongly than others).
* actually I think there is a selfish and selfless manifestation of all functions. So selfish Fe might be motivated more by social prestige, and selfless Te would be motivated by strengthening the functioning of some collective system.
So selfish Fe might help people so that people will think highly of them, not really caring about the people their helping so only wanting really to appear to be doing good, not caring if they're actually doing good,
And selfish Te might strengthen a system, but only so they can get a cut of the profits, so they'd be willing to cut corners in ways that weaken the system if it will make them more profit.
I think last time I was here was a total mess. they said I was ISFJ or a few people suggested ISFP or something but I was in denial and arguing I was INFJ or intuitive/INFP idk
because I’m not against being any type like before. So if anyone has reason I am ISFJ or INFP or ISFP or something else please say, Idc anymore I just want to hear it and make sure im really right
