How do you feel when people compliment your 1st function?
Do people ever compliment your 6th function? If so, how does that feel different from compliments about your 1st function?

Joy you are not a SLE. *sigh*
I feel really neutral when somebody compliments my Ni, because it's like I know I'm good at it. I don't really need for it to be re-inforced, so it can seem condescending. If anything, I want somebody to compliment my dual-seeking function or my 8th function (forgot the name).
Compliments to the:
Ego Functions: "Yeah, I'm pretty badass." (Pride)
Super-Ego Functions: "Really? Cool! I pulled it off this time." (Relief, doubt about future performance.)
Super-Id Functions: "Really? Awesome! But I don't know if I believe you." (Excitement followed by uncertainty)
Id Functions: "Yeah, I guess I'm pretty good at that. But pease don't make me do it again." (Pride, dread of boredom)
Of course, those are just the things I think in my head. I'm never sure of the polite way to actually respond to compliments. Stupid Role Fi.
Quaero Veritas.
Actually, I do get complimented on my ability to help people figure out how to do something or what to do. Like I when I can help create a class schedule or what they should do in a relationship or when I can help fix something. I'm mildly complimented by this, but I do think of it as something a bit too simple to really deserve compliment. It's the actual physically doing something part where I get skeptical of compliments.
I would think that compliments on your superid functions would be the most rewarding, and would probably stay with you. Any compliments on your superego you would probably forget immediately or not really care.

As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.

Compliments to my first function I don't notice because I don't feel like I did anything to deserve a compliment. I've noticed that with other people too.
IEE
You're LIE, right?
"Dude, that was very efficiently done. Good job!"
Or, since imitation is the sincerest form of flattery:
"I'm trying to be productive and efficient just like Azeroffs!"
In my case, (LII) it would be more like: "Dude, that was a very logical and impartial conclusion. Well done!" or "I'm trying to be logical and impartial, just like Krig!"
Quaero Veritas.
Lol, I might just laugh or not care. I usually get told "you did it so fast" and I just kinda shrug "yeah whatever" or "next?" Usually when someone says I did something so fast, I start to think "great, they probably think I missed something" and/or "Shit, did I miss something?" and/or "Damn it, they're going to make me go back and do it better."
Si-PoLR coming out?
If I was told the last two compliments, I'd probably laugh and be mildly complimented. Actually, I just laugh whenever I get complimented, but with the first two, I wouldn't even take it like a compliment. I'd laugh because I would think it was mostly meaningless.
