On why the INTps here aren't INTps

[Kristiina]

Nah, you've got +Fe, I know that much, and therefore -Ni.

Where did you hear that? Are you sure about that? Completely sure?

[Kristiina]

Well, maybe 90% sure. I'm remembering it from the pages that used to be on this website, and discussions I had about them.

For example, I misguidedly suggested to ChibiKeba that she was SEI because she related to -Fe>+Fe, and misguidedly thought that switching from Beta to Gamma was supported by -Ne>+Ne.

*shakes head at self*

This was a while back, though.

ummm... if you misguidedly thought that alphas have -Fe, then it would have been correct to think that alphas have +Fe (Fe blocked with Si is +Fe) and that betas have -Fe. Right?

My way of remembering about the whole +Xy and -Xy thing is to think about the positivist/negativist dichotomy. Basically which one you are depends on the sign of your creative function: A + creative function makes you a positivist and vice versa for negativist. So yes, ILIs have +Ni with -Te. Likewise, an IEI has -Ni with +Fe (hence positivism). An EIE has +Fe with -Ni, hence negativism. As long as you can remember what your type is for this dichotomy, you can work the rest out based purely on that.
