Lets look more at "Send in Stewie Please" because I think its a great example of his Inferior Fi and by extension Dominant Je/Te. That episode could have just been renamed "Inferior Fi". Let's go in chronological order. - He basically demands that the therapist tell him he has a British accent, and clearly trusts what he's "often told" about himself by others infinitely more than his own internal opinion about who he is, which is extremely common in ExxJs - This entire episode is digging deep into Stewie's unhealthy obsession with what other people think of him - "I want you to validate my opinion on myself because you're a credible source (as a British person)" is a very Te way of thinking. Te users looooove it when "professionals" or "qualified people" agree with their take on a specific thing, because Te values tribe logic above self logic. They value credentials and external logic, not internal logic like Ti, and as such tend to look more to other people to agree with them and validate their logic, the same way Fe users like Lois look to others to validate their morality and want to be seen as a good person, while Fi users do not really bother as much with this as much. - He also has a very ExxJ, specifically very Te "well everybody else has noticed my British accent so YOURE the one with a problem if YOU dont agree with the masses YOU are wrong and bad" attitude. Once again, Te values tribe logic above self logic. The idea that if the tribe consensus does not validate the self, be it logically or ethically, the individual is wrong is NOT a sign of a strong Ji user. - The therapist then blatantly states that it's very clear to him that it is HIGHLY important to Stewie what others think of him, which indicates an ExxJ personality type. - Only AFTER his Dominant Je fails does Stewie hide behind a "WELL YOU DON'T KNOW ME", indicating that his Fi tends to mainly bubble up as a defense mechanism under stress when his Dominant Te fails, and not as something he's comfortable and confident with using - Stewie clearly has an excellent grasp of his external environment, as shown in the way he uses physical concrete things in his present reality to tear the therapist a new one. Sure, there's a lot of Ni here too, but there's a decent amount of Se as well. At the very least more than Fi. He seems to have an almost perfect balance of paying attention to what's going on in his environment in the moment (Se) and assigning deeper abstract meaning to it (Ni). He also mentions that this is a "party trick" of his, meaning that this is very likely NOT a case of an Ni dom just realizing analyses completely whole unconsciously, and he knows how to do this 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙮 and 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙘𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙡𝙮, he knows HOW to use Ni & Se in tandem and does so willingly. The polarity, the conflict, the tension, is clearly between Te & Fi, like it would be for an IxFP or ExTJ, and NOT between Ni & Se, which is far more likely for an INxJ or ESxP. - Lets not forget, he does this whole tear-through analysis to divert from the fact that, as he admits about 3 seconds later, he is 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗹𝘆 lonely - He constantly keeps his emotions bottled up inside and represses them until they eventually spill out, as the psychologist points out and he confirms - Him pretending to be something he isn't and rejecting his real self is a reoccurring theme in this episode - He states that he does this because he's scared of his real self and thinks nobody will like him otherwise, a sign of repressed Fi - He states that he isn't like other kids but chooses to pretend to be like them anyway, once again acknowledging but repressing his Fi - He blatantly states that he DOES NOT KNOW HOW to be his real self - He also says that everything about him is this carefully constructed persona, yet another sign of repressed Fi - He maintains that he wants to be "special" and "better than everyone else", while still freaking out at the idea that others don't like him. He clearly views himself as above other people, and doesn't want to be like them, and yet in typical Je dom fashion demands external validation from them. It's the Te-Fi that demands he be BETTER than others and ABOVE them rather than simply a part of them - He then backpedals and decides that "I'm never going to lift the veil, nobdoy is ever going to know the real me" - Killing someone is "no bigs". He acknowledges that it's slightly wrong, but he doesn't actually 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦, once again neglecting his Fi. - But he has a nightmare about it later, showing his inner Fi starting to creep up on him. And yet, in spite of this, he STILL shuts it down, choosing to not talk about and ignore it while he still can't sleep, once AGAIN neglecting his Fi.
