• I think the fact that he felt compelled by the external world and the value judgments and requirements of him to be a certain way, to live according to some internalized sense of what was proper according to his upbringing and stature and never really wanting to deviate from it, to endure and navigate these differing roles he has to play simultaneously and be caught in struggling to figure out what is personally right for himself speaks to a combination of Fe-Si. • Just looking at how him and Mu Qing differ in book 4 and how Mu Qing’s sense of value was impermeable to the outside, and he asserts the right to go after what he deems valuable at the expense of others’ values, versus how Feng Xin was trying to juggle his own life and love with the prior alignment with what was deemed “right” by his social position and stature (along with his loyalty to Xie Lian, courtesy of his enneagram), and later that position as a father with that of a heavenly official—trying to *live up to* these external demands instead of having a clear picture of where he stood himself. • And sticking to those difficult arrangements because the environment needed him, while almost guiltily indulging in some of his own personal wants because he was never one to place his own values above the considerations for his impact on the environment. ====== Just look at how it fits this description: “The fair-minded (Fe/Ti axis) often feel that the goal-oriented (Te/Fi axis) don’t really think about anything, they just do whatever they feel without considering the consequences of their actions upon others or the community universe at large. The fair-minded have a sense that everything is connected so you can’t fix one thing without breaking something else. The goal-oriented feel that the fair-minded do not think for themselves and simply parrot or bow out to their community with no guarantee of being right.” • “What gave away his judgment axis, was that he always sought to abide by social convention (Fe) because he thought it was non-optional (Ti). He was Kantian in his way of thinking. Things in the outer world for him operate in a categorical imperative (Fe/Ti).” @[st] ==== Again, if you substitute “feelings/emotions” with values, you can tell that he fits Fe/Ti and Fe a lot more. "I think Fe is simply to behold one's own feelings, where the individual connects to his feelings as one connects to the outside world, thus Fe has feelings as an ENVIRONMENT the deeper parts of the soul must navigate through. As gravity or other natural forces affect physical objects, so do emotions affect the Fe user's soul. Then the Fe user is gonna have to use his Ti as a COMPASS to navigate properly on what he truly wants or desires (as most desires are always in stark opposition to one another). Fi, on the other hand, is like a rocket. It has feelings as its FUEL SOURCE & with that as the lead function Fi can be directed and aimed at to cause the individual to move itself across the world, with Te providing the MAP to which the Fi user can chart a course to. Simplified, it would look like this: Fe-Ti = a ship at sea Feelings = water/ocean Ti = compass/navigator Fi-Te = outer space Feelings = rocket fuel/booster Te = map/pilot • Just wanted to also point out that directness, forthrightness, having strong opinions about their values =/= a specific cognitive function, these are behavioral. Fe users can also be vocal about them, but what’s more important is *how* he determines what is valuable and the general gist of what he is criticizing/annoyed at Mu Qing for—and it’s very much the kind of stuff that indicates a clash between Fe/Ti and Te/Fi.
