Don't think y'all understand that INFJs can be sarcastic and funny. Take a listen at O'Connor reading one of her short stories, "A Good Man is Hard to Find": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQT7y4L5aKU She clearly uses Fe to create the vivid character of the grandmother, using the tiniest details to paint a picture to the audience of that one old, annoying woman everyone knows. Listen to the roaring laughter; everyone understands her jokes and gets them! O'Connor's humor is sarcastic, sure, but it's less centered around thought processes and concepts like that of an INTJ and more centered around a common, American feeling of annoyance at "that one hag." O'Connor understands people and their emotions, and she knows exactly how to stimulate them. That's Fe, not Te.
Biography
Mary Flannery O'Connor (March 25, 1925 – August 3, 1964) was an American novelist, short story writer and essayist. She wrote two novels and thirty-two short stories, as well as a number of reviews and commentaries. She was a Southern writer who often wrote in a sardonic Southern Gothic style and relied heavily on regional settings and grotesque characters, often in violent situations. The unsentimental acceptance or rejection of the limitations or imperfection or difference of these characters (whether attributed to disability, race, crime, religion or sanity) typically underpins the drama. Her writing reflected her Roman Catholic religion and frequently examined questions of morality and ethics. Her posthumously compiled Complete Stories won the 1972 U.S. National Book Award for Fiction and has been the subject of enduring praise.
