[Socionics] Fe versus Fi in subtypes

DCNH subtypes, that is.



I thought I'd write just a little on what I think is the deal with having Fi, rather than Fe, with the introverted perceiving IE constitute the formula for harmonizing subtype. This is follow-up to my mumblings on Fe in a recent thread, because I find it rather interesting how, usually, you'd have say Ni/Si pair with Fe, but here you have Fi.



The harmonizing formula, however, is not about establishing an ethical program involving the manipulation of moods (manipulation used neutrally, not negatively as it is often perceived). This is follow-up to the idea that emotional states themselves are irrational, not rational, and for there to be ethics involved, one must have a rationalization as to what one wishes out of these states, a procedure involving them of sorts that can be ethically tuned into the significance of. Just knowing that something will calm someone down can be any basic use of ethics, in other words.



The harmonizing formula, rather, is about knowing the intrinsic needs/relatedness of the parties involved to whatever else. It is the irrational balancing of mental states, in relation to intuitive and sensory factors, in accordance with perceived ethical relatedness. Picture the fields perceived by Fi as noting all influencing factors in a situation, all the stable factors which could create "charges" in the situation (I'm referencing the terminology of an electric field as opposed to some other kind). Fe may wish to seek out various instances of objective progressions which bring to life these existing stable influences in particular objective situations. But this isn't the goal of harmonizing. Rather, it is to ensure the charges all cancel out. It exerts influences continuously on the group so as to ensure this remains the case through time. It requires advanced knowledge of subjective states so as to perceive deviations with sufficient keenness. There is no Fe (or Te I guess) program, or at least so minimalistic that it needn't be mentioned.



I might add to normalizing subtype, where R/Fi is also important, and C, where Fe/E is essential as a finishing touch. Perhaps today itself, or maybe in time.
