The Grip: Fi Under Stress

Under extreme stress, Fi-dominants may fall into the grip of inferior Te, becoming harshly critical, obsessed with external measures of success, or aggressively organizing their environment.

Function Relationships

The attitude counterpart of Introverted Feeling is Extraverted Feeling (Fe). Both functions work in the same broad domain, but one turns inward first and the other tests itself in the outer world.

The inferior counterpart often paired with Fi in Jungian type patterns is Extraverted Thinking (Te). This relationship is different from the attitude counterpart: it names the dominant-inferior axis that can become most visible under pressure.
