    Default Which function is this related to?

    Constantly (and consciously/naturally) guarding yourself and your possessions, as well as the people you care about. Protecting what's yours and what belongs to you. Encouraging people to do the same.

    i see it related to se.

    people with strong se and se in a vulnerable spot can freak out about territory and hoard things for themselves as well as loved ones, ime with ISTj, ISFj. ESFp. I dont have direct experience with an ESTp doing that.

    Where can an element be to not be strong or vulnerable?

    This is likely enough for Se ego, I don't know about the others. Maybe the id does it passively, the super-id does it ineffectually, and the super-ego avoids it?

    ah, well, yeah. I meant mostly ego, but in the same way that weak functions can mimic strong ones because they are paranoid. I think it is related to weak or strong Se, though, and not any other function like si, etc.

    OK - so it's Se in any function, because anyone can use any function, but only Se-strong types will do it well.

    Sounds related to the resource protection dichotomy.

    Enneagram instinctual variant - self preservation dominant.
    Posts I wrote in the past contain less nuance.
    If you're in this forum to learn something, be careful. Lots of misplaced toxicity.

    wtf is it with all these banal threads trying to associate traits with functions? what you have described would be called LOYALTY. But I guarantee some people will say it's Se and Fi because you're focusing on your "territory" and the "bonds" between you and others. however, that is not true. Se is focusing on observable, unchanging properties of objects and Fi is focusing on the subjective, unchanging connections between objects (which does not = relationships).

    Loyalty does not imply guarding.

    and neither implies a specific function...

    functions are how you do things, not what you do.

    Fi focuses on subjective, unchanging ties between fields. this does not imply that they have strong bonds with others. It is an abstract way of processing information. It's the way that they want a relationship, i.e., an Fi person will want to feel some sort of certainty about where they stand with others because the function is static.

    very true. It's just that people shouldn't mistake the word "fields" for the words "bonds," "ties," etc., that are used in the interpersonal context.
