Yes! One thing that drew me to this forum in the first place, before I even knew my own type, was the use of mythology along with the functions.
I have never seen it as "every Fe lead is a hero and every Se lead is a trickster." It's more that the energy of that particular mythology is linked to what the function represents on a grand…Read more

I would say that the behavioral profiles are ultimately not there to “relate” to since I myself “related” more to the Te and Fi (and some Si, Ne) behavioral descriptions. It shouldn’t be used as a way to determine identity or accuracy with one’s type, I made that mistake at first because of how condensed they are.

I know there's a great temptation to stick to the parameters of the system, and say "Pe doesnt have ideals, Ji does." But, I have to point out that indeed, NeFi's - on the whole - have been some of the most idealistic dreamers I've ever met.

Now we have total artificial hearts that can allow you to live for years with a replacement heart when your own organic heart has been removed, the “broken”…

@ivory agreed! I've always marveled at the strange, interdependent relationship between freedom and duty. But from the outside. I've finally succumbed to the authority of Je, from the inside. 😀 There's literally no freedom without constraints, you're right, @animal.
@scietiam, I do agree that Ji is generally the domain where idealization…Read more

I think if you trust the use and accuracy of the general idea of the behavioral profiles you have to trust that with more statistical data (more samples and studies from the general population) the experience that you see from your own perspective will be corroborated and aggregated from other samples from the general population, such that a more…
