The Si and the Ip temperament seem so obvious. And Fe ought to be obvious too but it's hard to tell what someone's natural state is like. I feel like Fe can be a show at first. How to spot Te>Fe? I mean quickly! How can you spot it quickly?
I think a lot of times, the issue isn't so much "how do you tell this type from that type" or "what is this type like as opposed to that type." The issue is why the individual gives off vibes related to other types (if indeed the person is doing that). I don't think it's that uncommon for Ip types to act Te in certain situations and Fe in others (in response to certain situations or from being around certain people). One could look at the behaviors that suggest both types and then try to determine which ones are a clearer indication of the person's "main" personality.
