Fe/Ti & Te/Fi + Political Views



I forgot to mention what Fi/Te views look like when Fi is heavily prioritized above Te. An example of this can actually be found in the Encyclopedia of Fairies by Katherine Briggs, under the seelie court.

Fi, when prioritized, would advocate respect of the individual but also protection of nature, life and beauty in all its forms. So advocacy for the environment, for animal rights, for rights of identity, and so forth. This does take a level of government intervention, so Fi will be for-intervention in cases that help ensure the sacredness of personhood and life, however they choose to define that.

This is of course all only talking in a vacuum, about how I think the function pairings would produce their own philosophy (as I see often happen when there's high concentration of a population with certain function pairs). In a very mixed political landscape, as may exist, the spread of opinions across people can easily make any type adapt any views. The Judgment functions of any one person are capable of accepting/adapting the reasoning behind the stances of the opposite pair, even though a person may not be prone to come up with the stance on their own.

I also left out the high-Je vs high-Pe consideration, as per the other thread, which also contributes. Putting high-Je vs high-Pe together alongside the presence of either Te/Fi or Fe/Ti would make for an interesting diagram for people's more probable political views. A type of hypothesis, maybe? To see if this is accurate or not. Of course it'd never be definitively predictive, but hopefully a kind of "statistically likely" estimation of political ideologies as emergent from their own type.

I do anticipate the distribution would not be even, as already we can see how many SiTe and TeSi are involved (for example) in the republican party, and socialist guys like Obama and Bernie Sanders are Fe-leads.
