Do your top two functions duel? I'm interested to read how this plays out. Do Ti and Se take sides?
Assuming I'm INFP for a moment (haha, historically there have been more of these moments than not), my Ne and Si hate each other's guts! Like, they want to claw each other's eyes out. My inferior Te and dominant Fi aren't actually enemies: they just don't care for the same modus operandi. But Ne is the positive function within me that says, "I have a great idea, yes I can, I will, that reminds me" or "that really worked", and Si is the one self-censoring function that says, "are you kidding me? You want to do WHAT?" or "Don't say that! That sounds stupid". This pattern can also show itself when they switch places for which gets greater mileage on a cognitive functions test. [Surely an ISJ would have a different take on this pair.]
When my Si teams up with Fi, they become harsh value judgments in search of a playground. I become a nihilist of the worst kind, because I can't even admit to all of the immobility and worthlessness that I have come to believe, and only then can I not access Te (which isn't actually that weak for me).
I'd like a little more Ni/Se dynamic in my life, or at least a sense of what that drama would entail. Cheers.
