"The perfect daughter" — since at what moment was this statement made? Although silent, Rose was always trying to express her individuality even if it meant upsetting others (specifically her fiancé and mother). At the beginning of the film, she was even referred to as "a pistol." She blew smoke in her mother's face after being told that [her mother] didn't like her smoking cigarettes, and her mother later makes the comment in the background, "Rose decided she wanted lavender. She knows I detest the color." when it came to the wedding preparations. Fi in itself isn't a very expressive function; it is withdrawn and feels deeply without needing to express it outwards. "A woman's heart is an ocean of secrets." At the beginning of the film, Rose is experiencing an Fi-Ni loop ("I saw my whole life as if I had already lived it.") Her Se was suppressed, which is what happens during a loop — it is also the solution for to how to escape it. You must learn to indulge in your auxiliary function to help you from getting too caught up within yourself, as an introvert. In fact, it's especially crucial that introverts learn how to properly implement their auxiliary functions, or else we get swallowed up in our own heads! Auxilary Fe would help an INFJ to escape from their inner prison, by focusing their energy towards others. When does Rose ever show concern for how someone else is feeling, or what she can do for another person? Your inferior function will always be poor, no matter how much you try to develop it. It will never be anywhere near the level of your other functions — that's just natural, it's alien and uncharacteristic of us. Her impulsiveness wasn't what her family saw as being uncharacteristic: it was her growing a voice, and aggressively speaking out against everyone (Te). She is pushed to the point of having to make life-altering decisions under the pressure of time/stress and dealing with everyone else's incompetence with complete intolerance ("I'm through being polite, goddammit!"). Inferior Se on the other hand is very easily over-stimulated, clumsy, and misses opportunities. Se can be reckless in any stack that it's in, but Rose is clearly thriving when she's using it: joining in a dance with others, drinking and watching men break out into a fight, having all eyes on her when performing a ballet pose. If INFJ is impulsive... Then what are the SPs? You cannot imagine an ISFP jumping off a boat into a sinking ship, because of how overwhelming their feelings are for someone (Fi)? Disregarding the future consequences (low Ni)? In the instances that Rose is using Se, it's never out of a place of tension. She is happiest following her impulses than denying them, regardless of what the results may be. Also, there is the quote "I felt like I was standing at a great precipice, with no one to pull me back, no one who cared... or even noticed." The focus is on HERSELF, not feeling understood or listened to (when she isn't even outwardly saying anything, but just expects someone to see her sensitivity) — Fi. Rose is never concerned with the group harmony, and when she is attempting to please others (for the sake of her future), it is done poorly and at the expense of her own emotions... Which others DO see ("I know you've been melancholy.") There is no use of Fe/Ti within this character. The Ni is there, but it's used in a poor fashion and is never Rose's strength. Utilizing Se is what helps Rose break from her loop — to let go and enjoy the moment itself — and it comes as naturally to her as focusing on her own emotions and self-expression does, the ways in which she wishes to break apart from what outside pressures expect from her. Rose explodes with Te when cornered in sudden and stressful situations. Also, what is with the idea that Fi cannot help others in need? It's still a feeling function, it too knows what's important or the right thing to do. If you have the chance to save a child from drowning because you're right there... You're going to do just that. Or if you realize that there aren't enough boats for everyone on board — that's just math. Both Fi and Fe are concerned for others when healthy, and both can struggle with interpersonal conflict. But Rose's focus was always on how SHE felt, how things impacted HER, how HER feelings were important and not properly catered to. Rose doesn't just absorb others' feelings either. When Jack expressed his love to her, she needed distance to go over how SHE felt. Fi is specifically separating yourself to ruminate over how you feel about something. Everything about this girl just BLEEDS Fi: "Don't presume to tell me what I will and will not do. You don't know me!" WHERE is the dominant Ni, that would be as strong as this very obvious dominant Fi?
