Rules are so for extroverted functions. Remember that. It's one of the main rules.
Rule systems are Ti.Originally Posted by polikujm
First of all, speaking from personal experience, in many ISFjs, behavioral expectations can be unconscious, and may cause internal judgment or categorization or something like that, but not any sort of action against the person violating the behavioral expectation unless that person causes harm or is about to cause harm to the ISFj or someone whom the ISFj feels close to/feels like they should protect. I have a cousin who is ISFj who would never tell somebody that what they were doing was wrong if it wasn't affecting him (my ESFp brother would be way more likely to do this), but if he felt that you were really rude to his girlfriend (well... if it was a girlfriend he actually cared about), he'd take "appropriate" measures to punish the offender.
In general, I believe the acting as the "moral police" is a behavioral trait not necessarily associated with any particular type, but which fits fairly well with the concept of Fi and Se combined in an ego block. Concerning Fi, I don't use the word "rules" for Fi (someone on this site pointed out to me how that's inaccurate). I think of Fi as relating to "expectations" or "assumptions" about how one behaves (and don't take "assumptions" to have a negative connotation; everything involves assumptions), especially in relation to others. Another thing to consider is that, despite how Fi nonvaluers (myself included) tend to see it, Fi can be highly individualistic. You just might have a very particular set of expectations that aren't what you think of when you think of "moral police". Fi isn't one specific set of rules; it's a way of perceiving the world that tends to create, respond to, and innately understand the world by means of expectations for how behaviors affect relationships. As such, the world in which the Fi-ego develops has a significant impact on what behaviors he/she believes will positively or negatively affect a relationship.
So yeah, just because you're not the moral police, it doesn't mean that you're not ISFj. I bet your Fi manifests in other ways, perhaps ways that you don't even notice.
Not a rule, just a trend.
IEI. Probably Fe subtype. Pretty sure I'm E4, sexual instinctual type, fairly confident that I'm a 3 wing now, so: IEI-Fe E4w3 sx/so. Considering 3w4 now, but pretty sure that 4 fits the best.
Yes 'a ma'am that's pretty music...
I am grateful for the mystery of the soul, because without it, there could be no contemplation, except of the mysteries of divinity, which are far more dangerous to get wrong.
It's not a matter of "norms" of behavior at all. Like I said, ESI's have their own concepts of right and wrong. It's completely subjective. They definitely do decide whether others are good or bad people though, and they're not at all sympathetic to those who they see as bad people.
Maybe you're EII? Or SEI?
DreamEssence, you sound Ti/Fe valuing to me. I suggest you read other type descriptions as well.
