Wow I'm definitely an Fi type, hate it when people try to cheer me up, because I can't just turn off my feelings, it feels unnatural.

[MichaelPiercePhilosophy]

I like the distinction you made between Fi being able to look at its emotions in the abstract, separate from the ever-changing real world, vs. Fe which looks at emotions as inextricable from that ever-changing world. Which is absolutely how I view them: I always struggle when reading Fi preferring philosophers (like Kierkegaard) and they talk about these specific emotional experiences apart from any particular context and I'm just like..."wut?"

This content style is lit. I'm gonna miss the duo interactions, but I gotta say this was the most captivating 18 minutes I've had on youtube in a LONG while. Literally felt like only 3 minutes had passed. THAT'S how captivating it was for me. Anyway, keep slaying, girl :))

I relate well the Te ladder analogy. I went to college, studied engineering, crawled my way until 3rd year then came to realize that I didn't want what I was doing so I packed up and left to pursue something else. I took the time off to find out what I want. It was really hard to decide cause even I had a couple of ideas of what I wanted, I was still considering other factors like money, school, tuition, usefulness, parents, capability etc. I knew that if I went for something that I didn't want, I would be making the same mistake again. I regret the time I could have spent finishing a degree I wanted but for the effort.. not so much. So high. Te users out there find out what you want first cause it'll save you a lot of freaking time

One note:
FI is unique - not affected / Influenced by External Feeling

TI is unique - not affected / influenced by External Logic

[DominicMcCool]

You have a really good understanding of Cognitive functions. It's interesting to see how much you've modified and refined them over the years.

[kyrlics]

That thing you said about Infps and Fi choosing jobs they like over salary makes sense. I remember looking at mbti and income. Infps we're the lowest. Dominate Fi and inferior Te
Entjs and estjs were the highest. Dominant Te

[christiannataylor]

Holy crap that's why I'm emotionally retarded. I remember wanting to cry in my head, but wasn't emotional outwardly. My mom thought I didn't care when my dog ran away 😞 I'm not a sociopath then.

[maxfleming]

The judging axes sheds light on why INTJs (myself) and INFJs can both be empathetic, but the Ni-Te-Fi path is much different and more indirect than the Ni-Fe path. Our flashes of insight and blindspots are also quite different.

[kellie]

I like the examples it always helps me understand better.
I think I use FI/ Te but sometimes I relate to Fe/ Ti as well but I don’t always share the emotional tone in a room in fact I can feel quite separate from and want to leave.

Looking forward to understanding the vocal tone!

Love the videos. You do a great job.

[classiccarsclassicrock]

I love your honesty and sincerity at the beginning of this.

[jaytaggert]

I thought that without Alex things might slip a little or go down hill, but NOPE, not even a little...! Another excellent video. The vocal tone video is a terrific idea, really looking forward to it.

this also sometimes doesn't work. If an Fi dom can't relate to their emotional situation then empathy is limited.

[SpikeLawliet]

I have the theory that Ti/Fe axis decides on 'Understanding' how things or people work while Fi/Te axis decides on 'Achievement' of values or results.

[caramelunicorn]

I'm definitely an Fi user and it sometimes sucks that I can't express how I feel in the moment in a way that others find relatable. Like when I laugh to myself over a joke only I find funny. I am a lot better at using my shadow Fe I think than before.

[dr.hebagadallahclinicalpha]

Thank you. My son is an ENFP. This is helpful. I am grateful for the deeper analysis of what I notice as an INFJ, When I peak upon his feelings. I love appreciating people. I am grateful for you and your effort. Much love.

[johnknight]

I think this was a particularly excellent breakdown, and is work you should be proud of. I particularly liked your illustration about how Fi and Te may look at potential work, but break things down in ways people may not have thought of, stereotypically, giving practicality to the emotional, and giving emotionality to the practical.

[authorerynblaire-craftingc]

Great descriptions of the judging functions... You have very well-defined and clear language describing them. I love that so much about INFPs!

[genasoh]

This is a really good video!!!! I really related a lot with the Fi bits and am coming to understand the nuance between Te and Ti better. Thank you for putting so much time into this project:) I hope you’re having a great day!

[amber]

Excelent! Perfect! Bravo! Extraordinary! VERY VERY GOOD!!!!
