Hm, I wonder about that...

It has seemed to me that a preference for an extraverted Perceiving function keeps an INFP perpetually "uncertain." What dya think?

I've also heard INFPs say that it stems from Aspirational Te -- that Te is how they can be "certain." For instance, I've known INFPs who wish we could use blood samples to ascertain type patterns, because then we would be "sure" and not continue to wonder. So there's something about empirical evidence that's very appealing to INFPs.

What dya think about that?

(What I notice in the INFP pattern is how hyper-self-critical the Ti is, and many INFPs commonly have dreadful self-images. :-/)

I believe it does. My ISFP friend who knows a lot about type talks about how vicious Ti can be sometimes.

And of course, it's the Shadow of the culture also. :-( So you get it from both places.

Well, Fi of course. Giving wholly over to impersonal, rational, logical Ti would require turning your back on personal, values-driven, feeling-based Fi. Your identity wouldn't be based on "values," but on some kind of assigned algorithm or something. It would come from a "framework" rather than your conscience. Right?

To your culture question -- I'm curious! How might you change the culture's attitude??
