Intention is Fi. It is signaled by which options are partaken of given a selection of choices. The option selected reflects, theoretically, a desire to partake of potentials enabled by the selection in the future. This in turn can signal "drive".

I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

I like this, and I agree- this is an accurate description of how I work.Beta NFs enjoy fantasy, tropes and gossip, so they often end up applying tropes on people. Sometimes there's a degree of truth in their interpretation of people's motives and sometimes it really is nothing more than "applying a trope on someone", as if they wanted romantic, cliché fantasy to take life. That's actually why they like Se valuing people: they are upfront about what they want so they work exactly the same way they imagine interactions between people work.
You can't escape that at all. That's the interesting, fun point.On the other hand, you can't just say "Beta NFs interpretations of people's motives are utter bullshit" because you can't escape having selfish desires and motives to some extent.
I don't really do this though. It is sometimes hard for me to gauge other people's intentions, especially if I'm trying too hard- I look at it as a Fe vs. Fi valuing thing. So it's not so much I'm projecting my own, it's that I'm fantasizing of what their intentions are probably most likely like because they're not being clear in the Se-way that I need.Of course they will often project intentions based on self image on others because it's an obsession of theirs, but they are certainly not more limited to interpreting people from their own point of view than anyone else; more often than not, it's the younger ones who will make such mistakes anyways, because like everyone else, they like to "play" with their skills.
You're overcomplicating it. We just want people to be rawly romantic and be able to say who and what they really like, people tend to think their emotions are these sacred things 'nobody can get to.' That just makes Betas make fun of people until they crack.Clearly it can be quite infuriating when Beta NFs proudly expose what they think are your selfish intentions as if you should feel ashamed or wouldn't deserve something and you're like "uh no?", but there's more than the interpersonnal level to this. Hidden behind seemingly worthless gossip lies the observation that whatever you do, you affect the universe, which in terms of interests can be interpreted as taking a stance, even though your conscious intention is to take no stance, so suddenly their misinterpretation of your intention gains the potential to teach a great lesson on personnal responsibility and with our inherent tendency to take the simplest road, we can't have too much of that.
Everybody leaves a mark. Usually it's a mark of confusion though, because there's too much conflict about what they desire vs. what they feel they owe the rest of the world. Celebrities are likeable people because they're constantly mending those two things together.I said earlier that you can't escape having selfish desires and motives, well there's something even more inescapable: Leaving a mark.
This is how I look at it. People with a hero/heroine complex really aggravate me. I had a co-worker who used to be this way...to the extreme, and it honestly made me want to snap her neck about 10 times a day. I don't care how much "good" she did, all I could see was her complex. It actually went as far as to me finding the many people who couldn't see through it, irritating and stupid as well. I'm not saying I feel proud for feeling this strongly negative about it, but it's definitely my reaction.
To me the intention totally negated the action.
INTJ intuitive subtype here and I'm fairly certain I can tell what someone's real intentions are in an unbiased manner.
So person green is acting like the big brother type at a party by helping others get home safely and acting responsible and catches the attention of person yellow who says that person green is 'playing the hero'.
I can not make a judgement call as to weather or not person green is being the big brother type or playing the hero because there is more than one way to perceive his actions and intentions in thought. If I had seen what person yellow had seen and if he is truly unbiased then I would have arrived at the same conclusion as likely anyone would who has an ample amount of perceptibility and disdain for phony behaviour.
I can still surmise that person yellow's intention to saying 'playing the hero' is biased. The choice of words has a condesending tone and effectively undermines the actions and intentions of person green to such an extent that the entire situation has been determined by his words from the person who posted the story on this forum to the people who responded to it.
I can easily tell someone's real intentions simply by remaining objectively detached and unbiased from subjective opinion and influence. Introveted intuition is uniquely imaginative but ask yourself is imagination equitable to intentionality? My answer is definitely no because intentionality is real unlike imagination.
