If we are talking about any given NF, we've got two things to work with: Feeling and Intuition. We can't specifically talk about Ni or Fi or Ne or Fe, because that would not apply to any given NF. We can't talk about introversion, extraversion, judgment, or perception. So I think either you need to come up with five unique words, or you need to stop being so irritatingly picky.
I am not talking about people. I am talking about typology. What I have in mind is the subconcious tendencies that can induce one to think in a quixotic fashion. In this case we can talk about each function seperately.
The point is that there is a much higher correlation between F and quixotic element than with N. Again, this has nothing to do with people, just unconscious tendencies. Though if we do translate this into how type manifests itself in personalities, for instance if we look at a quintissential NT, and then at a quintissential NF, we will see that both of them are highly iNtuitive yet one is significantly more quixotic than the other.
1)Compassionate
2)Visionary
and I insist on compassionate being 1 and visionary 2 because the NF puts primacy on feeling over Intuition. We admire our exceptional NFs for having a great heart and our exceptional NTs for having a great head, in a way N is not an entity in itself but like a turbo boost to the Judging faculty (T/F).
That is really all that I could come up with. Only two roots instead of 5. One of the F and the other of the NF. Little to do with either J or P because neither is clearly a property of the form of 'NF'.
Whatever else I could say next would have to follow from one of these two roots, so they wouldnt be isolated statements.
Same as with the NTs
1)Analytical
2)Visionary
We could come up with more characteristic to associate this type with, but they would necessarily stem from one of those two roots.
I could not solve my own riddle either on the path of the NTs or NFs.
