(At times they drive you nuts with the teasing and mancaving and you are feeling a bit frustrated, and out of the blue, when you least expect it, comes a gesture of love and commitment that is unexpected and small and somewhat clumsy and so endearing that you melt into a puddle of IEE love goo :cry: #bestillmyIEEheart)

@oldwhiskey in chatbox (since I can't sticky): "thanks SLIs for making gamma look chirpy"

It's related to their hidden agenda Fi, they use Fe POLR to defend it. Basically when they aren't certain about their love for another person, they'll try to suppress or camouflage their emotional state, which can piss people off. They may smirk if you're crying. Or turn away if you're smiling. These types are really very emotionally vulnerable yet don't seem like it, they can come across as cold and indifferent. To gauge their real emotional involvement in a situation, look to Ti, not Fe. When they really care about someone or something, their logic will reflect it, they'll prioritize that person or thing, they'll mirror back their focus of attention. In practical terms, their physical distance from that person, relative to others, will be smaller.

To all:

It seems I caused an avalanche with my tongue-in-cheek comment that INTj was not concerned with moralism. It wasn't my intention to imply that we lack morals - quite the contrary. I was referring more to the preoccupation of our root input-output processes; refer to my article on agendas:

Note that in the article, I'm NOT implying that Fe is empathy, Se is reductionism, Ni is belief, etc. etc. They're the closest labels I could come up with. Our morals are embedded in the brain's software that is built on top of these root processes. However, the article does imply that concern with personal behavioural ideals may be more deeply rooted in Fi-types than in other types; but, not all these ideals would necessarily be accepted by society in general.......
