NiFi, FiNi & NiFe (INF Temperaments)

sitbone - that's ok, i'd like to pursue this further too so I'll do a thread split.

I'll outline what little I've gathered so far about the Ni+Fi duality,
insofar as my incomplete exposure can manage.

Ni+Fi Adi Da Samraj

This is an Ni mystic, who I'm fairly confident is Ni-lead. But perhaps I'll start with a video that shows his Fi giddy giggling, Fi radiation and seelieness:



^ Starting at 1:26+ we see a very classic, unbridled Fi expression as well as Fi breaking-through-cheeks.

He's a rabbit hole to go down for sure. I've watched quite a few videos of him and he's exceedingly Ni heavy not only in vultology but his conception of life and the world. His flavor of Ni guru-ness is something I had only before attributed to NiFe's but it makes sense that NiTe-Fi gurus would also exist.

For the most part he's very weak in Je, and this is intentional as he mentions very much weakening his Ego and in the same way as Ni-lead Ekhart Tolle, describes letting go of what is essentially judgment; the impetus of the left brain to delineate/define/control/segregate/differentiate-self-from-rest. As such, we don't see much Te... nor would we expect to see it. And the few gesticulations he performs seem borderline Fe or Te.



Having said that, ^ here's a video where I feel the qualia of Te comes out. There's a kind of stiffness to the wrists, lack of stop/start, a more yang/grabby texture to the fingers rather than the liquid wrists and spidery fingers of Ti... but this is less important for the purposes of this analysis.

Ni-lead Ekhart Tolle



I'd like to insert him into this thread as well, as he represents another Ni-lead with confusing elements of judgment (also very deliberately underplayed judgment). Perhaps to work as a contrast point as this thread evolves.

Ni-lead Lynette



Next I have a personal sample. Lynette is someone who is a life-long listener and psychoanalyst of people. Very INF in temperament and into her fair share of esoteric topics such as EFT (emotional freedom technique) tapping... which uses alleged pressure points on the body to release unfreed or trapped emotions. I see this very much as an Se channeling. She's also a very skilled artist with lots of hyper-realistic (Se) portraits on her house of work she's done. She has many moral opinions but she's never been one to fixate on them; very much a flow based person as heavy Pi users are. I video recorded her last year in the hopes of making a volunteer video of the NiFe but her footage proved too ambiguous for me at the time.. but not so ambiguous to me now. Still, perhaps we can figure out what is happening here with her in relation to the others.

A few more we've come across recently, to sort through:

Shauna Sharpio (NiFe?)




Arsene Wenger (NiTe-Fi?)
