Getting back to this -- from the point of view of Te, the "IxFp" is in a logical loop because there is no
apparent external origin of the ISTj as a concept; the "IxFp" has an internally consistent view of what makes a person an ISTj, but seems to validate that concept only by internal cross-reference ("other ISTjs I know"), which is to mean:
I have an internally consistent conception of what ISTjs are like. So the internal consistency seems to be the validation of that concept.
The flaw from the point of view of Te is that if you don't check that concept with external sources of information, you will not know whether
your concept of what an ISTj is coincides with that of other people, so, for instance, what you have decided to call an "ISTj" might actually coincide with what others call an "ESTj".
So, again, from your point of view -- is that an accurate description of how you see the "IxFp"s logic?
