edit: read the replies to this post as well, theres more i couldnt fit i knew grovyle was an ISTP but i couldn’t remember any specific instances until i came across this again from the special episode: Dusknoir: Before you... you said it was for the future. You said... you fight... for a new life. But if you do, you’ll disappear. Your existence... will end. For me... that sort of thing... I cannot bear the idea. To make myself disppear... I will not allow it. With all that said... why do you fight so hard for such a goal? Grovyle: ...Dusknoir. I understand that you don’t want to disappear... But me... This is what I think. Even if you were to disappear... Even if I were to disappear... I wouldn’t truly disappear. Dusknoir: What? Grovyle: Everything ends eventually. Even if history is not changed... Even if the world of darkness continues in its current state... Eventually the day will come when I won’t be here anymore. Since that’s the case, the timing doesn’t matter. The important thing is not how long you live... It’s what you accomplish with your life. While I live, I want to shine. I want to prove that I exist. If I could do something really important, that would definitely carry on into the future. And so, if I were to disappear, I think that all I have accomplished will go on. That is, that would mean that it’s living, right? this is Ti/Fe (coupled with Ni). he reasons this in a Ti way, an ontological way. it’s a bit hard to explain but i’ll try. meaningfulness in terms of life and value is held in one’s feeling function. dusknoir, ENTJ, cannot fathom not existing because that means his core feeling, his Fi, will not be in charge of assessing the value of accomplishments for himself. grovyle, like the player (INFJ), doesn’t really care about what he feels. he doesn’t have a feeling core, he has a thinking core. grovyle finds that it is in the eye of others to assess the value of his accomplishments. therefore, his “life” will live on. not literally and physically, as a Te/Fi user would imagine it, but in a more abstract sense like a Ti/Fe user would. this EXACTLY reflects what is said in Function Axes in Jungian Typology: “Ti does not naturally perceive phenomena in terms of matter, but rather in terms of the abstract noetic idea which the individual phenomenon represents. The elements of physical existence that do not fit with the pursuit of the abstract idea are ignored or neglected (e.g. “it is a nonessential feature, let somebody else take care of that”). The idea that is pursued by Ti is immaterial; it is imagined rather than proven. It is the idea we want, not the necessity. In this respect, matter is simply a necessity – a stricture upon the idea that the Ti type is chasing. Consequently, matter is but a constraint that the Ti type feels compelled to look beyond and break out of. Fe does not naturally perceive phenomena in terms of matter, but rather in terms of the sentiments they elicit. With Fe, there is an involuntary inclination to perceive objects as sentient beings to be sympathized with (e.g. “the Earth has a soul”). Consciousness is thus unwittingly ascribed the primacy over matter. Certainly, most Fe types would concede that we are made of both consciousness and matter. But according to the Fe prejudice, our defining feature is our consciousness, since it is consciousness, not matter, that produces these sentiments. Te does not naturally perceive phenomena in terms of events, but in terms of objective laws that standardize and shut out those elements of existence which do not conform to the law. Overarching ideas like “energy” and “matter,” that allow for the greatest extension of laws into all spheres of human existence will thus hold a special sway over the Te type. Consequently, matter is unwittingly accepted as holding the primacy over consciousness – indeed, to many a Te type, consciousness is just matter experiencing itself. It follows that sentiments and feelings, which are often personal and illogical, and which no known law can dominate or sort out, are thus but accidental and secondary features of existence. Fi is inclined to experience every interpersonal phenomenon as an interaction between two unique subjects. You have your values, and I have mine. But you are not me. We each experience our highest values through our personal, subjective psyche and frames of mind. I cannot adjust my innermost, truest ideas to fit yours, and nor can you adjust yours to fit with mine. We are not to place demands upon each other, but to tolerate each other the way we are, so that we are both free to go our own way. We understand our deepest thoughts and feelings through the purity of our personal subject, which is strictly our own. A great gulf separates your truest, innermost nature from mine; this gulf may be material in nature, or it may not. All I know is that it is there.” (https://functionaxes.carrd.co/#jhome)
