FiNe-Ne & NeFi-Fi Bubble

I've been thinking more and more lately, as I observe the same people in different settings and hear accounts of their experiences, that function expression works as an adaptive mechanism. I know we've touched on this before, but it seems like it may be even more pronounced than previously thought. I think the lead function is always at least somewhat apparent, and doesn't get completely taken over by subordinate functions neither psychologically or, perhaps especially, vultologically. But the auxiliary function and the other two can come forth quite prominently in response to social expectations or other environmental factors/stress. I've seen it often where PiJe can come across nearly identical to Articulators when giving speeches, or defending their ideas in an argument, for example. And here in this thread, I think we see examples of greater degrees of integration of the aux specific to mood/setting.

Observing things from this point of view, I think we can likely expect to see adaptive function stack variation as a common phenomenon. In fact, if you will indulge this idea for a moment, I think it could even be a sign of psychological health for someone to be able to adapt in this way. Being stuck in a certain modality may be indicative of a chronic over reliance on one or two functions, and if we take the integration of all four functions as the highest state of health - literally an increase in 'functionality' which is a standard measure of psychological health - then such a bias could be considered the opposite. (That's not to say a unilateral or bilateral development is always pathological. What I mean is that it may be sub-optimal and limiting, which actually may in turn lead to a greater susceptibility to neurosis - Jung; literally a 'weakness' and 'lack of adaptiveness' in the conscious personality.)

But, to the specifics of delineation between NeFi and FiNe.. In all these videos, the leading function/energy quadrant is still apparent to me. The NeFi are still eye-centrc and have a lot more momentum and 'pep' than the FiNe. Even in her most 'Ne' moments, Aurora still strikes me as being rigid and calculative, vs the more fluid thoughts and movements of Florence Welch and Linda Liukas. It's very nuanced, but I think her Jness is apparent in her overall posture, presentation, and communication. Now, Evanna Lynch seems a bit different than I remembered her being! She does appear a bit more eye-centric than Aurora or Regina, but I've seen it where in certain moments Ji-leads will have an uprising of Pe which makes them do this. However, her energy also strikes me as being quite extroverted. I still think FiNe is more likely than NeFi, but she has a lot of Te+Ne in the mix now. In her younger videos (like this classic example), she's quite obviously Fi-lead: recessive, poised, pushing for articulation. I think, what we're seeing in her now is a higher level of extroverted function integration. It's not hard to imagine the high stakes life of professional acting drawing out her extroverted functions over time. I've seen it often that Ji-leads, especially, will resort to dependence on their aux and polar in order to gain enough stamina to operate in the world. And often, it seems that Pe and Je kind of play off of and amplify each other. This resonance in energy is likely what leads to Je+Pe or Ji+Pi types. If I had to say, I think Evanna may be FiNe-Te with a 'Pe' temperament.

Alerith , I don't normally like the fairy-type singers, but Sinead was just captivating! And her voice is powerful. She had a buildup in her songs very artists do. Adele is all Te. Or there is a lot of Se. All in your face. I think this is far more tantalizing.

Oh, and is she not Se?

Yes, I think it's super important that functions not be reduced entirely. What I mean is that how they synergize it of equal importance. This is what I was talking about today concerning what Socionics misses in its intertype relations. All things can be reduced but not meaningfully.

I wonder if that can happen too with NeFi-Te, same as PiJe? I become this way too, exactly as you describe when defending arguments. It's not just a bodily thing but a mind thing too. I start thinking more coldly (not in a bad way, just F isnt prominent any more) or detachedly and firmly and sharply/clearly about facts and falsehoods and errorroneous and illogical stuff. I grow bolder in a  real felt sense. I've been told I seem like a completely different person. Very serious. I think in those instances I could pass for Je lead.

Hehehehe, I'm happy but avoiding discord until I feel strong enough to socialise.

I'm interested in how fixed subtype is too. It seems to me something that ought to change over time with personal development and environment.
