Which is the problem I have with the version of socionics that at least some people in socioniX seem to propose, that is, that you could still be an ESTj even if having :Fi: stronger than :Te:. Well, in that case you'd be more likely to offer help in :Fi: than in :Te:, and more likely to seek help in :Te: than in :Fi:. No matter how good you are in both, that would already prevent you from being an ESTj in Augustan socionics.
