I understand that having certain elements in the ego block does not necessarily imply being "good at" things typically associated w those elements. I'm curious, though, how this manifests, especially in IXFps and EXFjs, some of whom seem to botch social situations regularly despite having strong, valued Fe [and supposedly strong, if unvalued, Fi]. It seems to me that IXFps and EXFjs I've known tend to have either very strong or very weak social skills....

I'm thinking, the healthier or better-developed [whatever that means] a person is, the more proficient they are w their strong/valued IEs. Yes? Has anyone observed this happening w Fe-egos? I'm very curious....
