The quasi-identity effect
I was thinking it might be interesting and useful to examine how accepting functions and their quasi-identical-related creative functions can masquerade as each other, and how to tell them apart.
Here's a partial list. Perhaps others can come up with other examples.
Acc-Ti/Crea-Te
Why they appear similar: Both involve conceptions that come from an introverted source; hence, from an extraverted perspective, both appear to be making things up and ignoring the external world too much.
Ways to tell them apart:
Crea-Te seeks to justify itself based on appealing to external or empirical validity of some kind; acc-Ti tends to justify itself based on the idea of being consistent and true to a given structure
Acc-Fi/Crea-Fe
Why they appear similar: Both often tend towards a more subtle use of emotion than acc-Fe. Both can create a quality of a sort of "deep compassion."
Ways to tell them apart:
Acc-Fi is much less changeable, tending towards firm moral positions. Crea-Fe is generally more varied in its manner of expression
Acc-Ni/Crea-Ne
Why they appear similar: Both create the impression of an imaginative, flowing existence and a rich "inner world."
Ways to tell them apart:
Crea-Ne is more keen to impress with varied ideation, and tends to involve imaginations of various "states" whereas acc-Ni is more inclined to imagine actions and is focused more on shaping the imaginative landscape in a certain direction through time.
