For all I know, it's quite misleading to type someone without any idea of how they are beyond their look, IEs are cognitive functions and require an interaction to be intercepted, they're not displayed as static apparent features, at least I think so.

The J/P switch for introverts is the difference that there's between socionics and MBTI, where MBTI says that it's the extroverted function to create the bridge with the world and it's this that influences the ways in which one operates, J/P. So you can say: communication= one's own expression= extroversion. So if introverts communicate through their extroverted functions, they'll appear J if P and P if J.
Oh ok, I get it now. But is truly supported by mbti theory that secondary function determines the J/P or its just your inference? (I didnt heard from that before, since most of mbti tests score based in dichotomy not in functions, being theory a secondary part of the typing process.

Then, the intention wasnt compare blackness to main function but to Introverted function in all blocks. I'm not truly based in order but in if the introverted elements really express outside (in all blocks, I used ego since is the most important, valued and 4d). I've the same question for all the types, even extroverts, for example, the Ni of an LIE or the Fi of an IEE, do these really manifest outside or they remain working inside as part of the personality, but part that is not interested in expression but the constitution of the inner world?
