Socionics Fi, although it derives from pretty much the same ideas, is a bit more balanced, but at the same time it endows this function with a slightly too pronounced interpersonal side. Imo it's more intra-personal.
MBTI Fi was fine by me (basic understanding of function as orchestrating an internal set of values... not whole profiles and stereotypes).
