Si-Fi is really sweet. I have not met one ISTJ who doesn’t want the best for people and will help them to reach their goals. Fi is more specific than Fe. Fe wants the best for everyone and is willing to help anyone. Fi wants the best for everyone but truly cares about the people closest to them more than an Fe user. (Please correct me if I’m wrong) This means Fi will want to help the people closest to them. Te-Fi means this will show up in the way of helping someone accomplish their goals or helping them with small jobs, instead of direct emotional support. Because this isn’t directly caring it’s often invisible unless you actually look for it. My textbook ISTJ geography teacher was talking about how he went into teaching, he said that he was thankful of his teachers giving him lots opportunities in life and wanted to honour them by doing the same thing for the new generation. His motivation for teaching was Si-Fi based. He wanted the best for the new generation and was helping them long-term through teaching. ‘Teaching will open many doors for students, a lot of which they will not see or appreciate until they look back. You will not have a use for many of these, but there will always be someone who will not be where they are if it wasn’t for [their teacher]. Even if a lot of you have no interest in geography, someone will love it so much that they will make a career out of it and who knows where they will end up if they didn’t get taught geography.’ The very same teacher is absolutely awful with emotional support. A classmate got a paper cut and the first thing he said when she told him was ‘Just don’t get any blood on the desk.’ I don’t know what PDBs view on love languages is, but remember that Acts of Service is one of them and it’s the one that people forget most often. These people show love by doing small and menial tasks for you, often without you knowing or asking. An ISTJ who is close to you will become one of the most loyal and caring people in your life, but you won’t realise it because they show care in a different way than you expect.
