Yeah I read the Fi arguments but I'm still going to go with her being an Fe user. I don't think her Fe is as developed as Rhett because she's at least a decade younger. She's only 16 at the start of the book. Scarlett's values aren't drawn internally but rather externally. She values the southern gentleman ideals because she was raised to believe in these things. She tries to fit into being the perfect Southern belle, despite being far from her authentic self. Rhett nurses her out of the mask she puts up and sees her true self. Scarlett also cares deeply about how she's viewed in society, her insecurities drawn from the fact that she knows her true self does not match what is considered valuable in women of the south. This causes her to lash out and see women like Melanie as silly, weak and foolish out of envy because they do fit this externally perpetuated ideal she fails to meet. I believe the "entitlement" people see is after the war. When Scarlett kicks into full Se-Ti mode. She stops giving a crap because survival becomes no. 1. And after the war she becomes cold and callous due to trauma. This does not mean she has Fi though. Scarlett has never cared about being true to herself or following her values. She's always done what us logical to survive and be seen as successful in society.
