Manifestations of the Role function in types
This is something I've copied/revised from socioscope.com.
It emphasises that the role function "works" influenced by the ego functions, so it's different than for those types for whom it's a dominant function (ie the :Te: role function of EXFjs is "filtered" - or whatever - through their dominant :Fe: ).
So, role functions:
:Ne: (ESTp, ESFp): requires them to be an understanding and thoughtful person
:Se: (ENTp, ENFp): forces them to constantly demonstrate to others their penetrative and volitional qualities
:Ni: (ISFp, ISTp): expects them to be careful and farsighted
:Si: (INFp, INTp): insists on the observance of good taste in exterior appearances
:Te: (ESFj, ENFj): makes them want so much to be seen as real professionals in their fields
:Ti: (ISFj, INFj): indicates a constant neeed for learning and being objective
:Fe: (ESTj, ENTj): makes them certain that everyone expects from them demonstrations of cheerfulness and energy
:Fi: (ISTj, INTj): forces them to learn the socially-accepted standards of politeness and ethical behavior
