I am struggling to understand this stuff but really it doesn't make sense that you would prefer both Fe and Fi. That would mean that you are looking to the external for your ethics and the internal for your ethics which would create tremendous conflict and distress for the person. You also can't use all introverted functions or all extroverted functions because for the first you would be completely out of touch with the world and for the second you would be an empty shell with no opinions of your own. That's why if you are Te you must be Fi and so on, otherwise, we would be talking madness wouldn't we?

Do not get hung up on examples of what the different cognitive functions look like. The examples are only trends not absolutes so they can lead you astray. Pay close attention to the definitions instead and then study your own thinking to determine which cognitive functions you prefer.

As for shadow functions, they only come up occasionally during times when you experience and understand firsthand the value in another function attitude purely for its own sake, and not because another function told you to do it. This is often very painful/uncomfortable and cannot ever be sustained for a significant length of time because it expends a tremendous amount of mental energy... -- simulatedworld
