    To which functions are they related? @Uncle Ave You got it almost right. Think about it a bit more.

    How people behave when they empathize or sympathize with someone or something?

    Most people use the English words empathy and sympathy interchangeably. They do not know the difference. (There are spoken languages in which these words do not even exist.)


    It is essential to know the Jungian functions well for accurate typing results.
    "What is difference between sympathy and empathy?Empathy is a term we use for the ability to understand other people's feelings as if we were having them ourselves. ... Sympathy refers to the ability to take part in someone else's feelings, mostly by feeling sorrowful about their misfortune."

    From Grammarly

    From that point of view, to me, it makes sense that introverted ethics (Fi) is related to "understanding" people's feelings. Whereas sympathy, the ability to take part in them, is more related to extroverted ethics (Fe).

    Fi will not try and participate in the emotion, but it can understand and empathize - Fe participates.

    Again, this is going by the definition given above from Grammarly, and applied to my understanding of the functions.

    Or would you say it is the other way around - that I am mixing up Fi with Fe perhaps?
