Interesting presentation. It's kind of a generalized false dichotomy, but it serves to make a point.
Which one are you (closer to)?
Being polite vs being frank

@Alioth Do you see a preference for either Fe or Fi in either the Frank or the Polite person? I don't think you can make a straight-forward correlation.

Froliteness™.
Usually I prefer polite, especially at first. But if I'm being polite and they don't get the message or if they are just plain rude to me, then I get more frank.

Just for clarification, the subject of this thread was expressed in terms of the polite vs. frank dichotomy presented in the video I posted, not the plain dictionary definitions.
“Whether we fall by ambition, blood, or lust, like diamonds we are cut with our own dust.”
Much of what it describes could be interpreted as FeSi vs TeNi. Or maybe FiNe vs SeTi. The predominant aspect here is mainly Se vs Si: on the one hand gentleness and attentiveness to people's immediate needs vs ignoring the immediate situation and trying to do "big things." They even worked some Ne into it at the end. Some other aspects of the how they described the motivations were not right though - for example an LIE does not generally see themselves as having great, positive motivations, they are simply unaware of the negative aspects of their behavior and internal motivations. The parts about social niceties and emotional reassurance were more Fe, but a lot of it has to do with awareness of Fi as well.
