The following comment is a sort of refinement of an old comment I posted a while back regarding NFJ vs NTP for Michael Pierce here: https://www.personality-database.com/comment/5820680?profileID=29283 As Boye Akinwande said of Fe in NFJs in regards to how they differ from NTPs despite the often surface level similar apparences: "So the typical goal for Fe types is to situate themselves and others as part of a collective mind, even though their corresponding introverted perceptions that give them a blueprint for how the world should be may leave them far from it. This tends to be more so the case with NFJ types. Many believe that their intellectual bent and esoteric ideas necessitate that Ti must be higher among their functions. They are nonetheless NFJs because, more so than NTP types, they make more of an effort to invite people to share in their ideas and present more of a definitive message. NTPs tend to be more caught up in searching for precise truths, holding hands with others to see their ideas enacted less frequently."

There is a strong effort to teach and get others on the same page as him, which is a relational act—it is the standardization of an interpersonal perspective (conscious Fe): Pierce: "I'm taking you through my thought process here that led me to my certain conclusions and so I'm ... trying to take you along this long ride, so that it's easier for you to understand where I'm standing."

(Source: https://youtu.be/6ka9Hr8_SiE?si=SfO03lAxB2zyW-QE&t=874) It's worth noting that while Michael Pierce may be INFJ in MBTI, he is very likely not the same type in Socionics.
