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).
I agree with ur compare & contrast re:jungian and socionics Fi. I actually had this strange impression on jung's analysis of Fi and always wondered why his take never stuck much with me. Jung is not too bad for getting the gist of the thing tho.
