Reply To: How to develop to IIII?

[Nymph]

@staas What you wrote about spending time around people to develop those functions is interesting. I am very close with my mother who is Fe-Si. However, I perceive adaptive Fe as weak, generic, and "brushing things under the rug." I really do not understand why MBTI glorifies adaptive Fe. In any event, it seems that, although when I am around my mother I allow her to do the Fe-ing, I might have repressed mine due to the aforementioned.
My father is Se-Ti (and probably would be considered IIII). Historically, he beat me up on how bad my Se, Ti, and Fe was whilst ignoring my Ni. I think he may have charged my Ti and caused the Fe/Se repression?As far as people I have been around who I had admiration for; they were always Ni dominant or Fi dominant. I seem to attribute Fi to a positive and Fe to a negative. I absolutely reject any Si or Te that comes my way though, which cuts me off from a lot of people, obviously.
