FiNe: The Definitive Vultology

FiNe l--- Seelie Female



Here we see what the FiNe looks like with just the first function conscious. There's an exceedingly passive, recessive energy at play as well as a giddy bashfulness and reviser doubt. The body hesitates, the eyes dart around, there are long drawn out pauses between sentences or words, and a strong sense of privacy that is also simultaneously delicate. When they retreat inward, it does not neutralize emotions (Fi) but instead augments them in a personal way (Fi).

These four above have a very consistent vultology, and I was happy to see that consistency. It's far more introverted than I originally thought, but it's perfectly in line with the TiNe analog. Indeed, FiNe l--- is highly comparable in vultology to the TiNe l---. Here is an (exclusive) video of me back when I was TiNe l--- to compare to:

The l--- Ji-lead is exceptionally recessive.
And I think this operates as a very functional baseline from which to build forwards.

Psychology

Psychologiacally there is most notably an attention on the self, which is a very private preoccupation but not necessarily a narcissistic one. It is more a question of who/what am I that does not seek the answers without, but within. There is a type of implicit faith at play that the answer is in the interior, and so that's where the libido goes. The FiNe's nurture that self-focus and circle matters back around to a set of valued beliefs, convictions and ideas.

Now as a contrast, here we see Julie who has a bit more Te 'snap' to her movements than the other samples. Her voice is also more pinched, but her energetics are still highly contained (Ji)... and include reviser doubt, eye-toggling, etc. What's curious to me is that her ego appears not to rest in Fi, but instead in Te. She would be FiNe-Te l---, and is most proud of her success in her competitive career in aviation. This is the other side of the FiNe: their Te. It's not uncommon for FiNe's to excel in technical careers, as we'll get to further down.

Here we have Ingrid, who is doubly introverted. It's difficult at first to tell if she's not just l--- because it's hard to get any more introverted than the l--- baseline! But there are differences

FiNe l---
- Ji energy
- - - return to a core
- - - micro-jitters
- Reviser doubt
- - - Very light swaying
- - - toggling

FiNe l-l-
- Ji energy
- - - return to core
- - - micro-jitters
- Pi energy
- - - inertial sways
- - - less toggling
- - - sense of certainty (not doubt)

Si adds a "settledness" to the energy. The look of confusion is replaced with one of "knowing" and an aged maturity. Conscious Si keeps the Ji poise but takes away the reviser energy to some degree. The vultology appears calm, collected and forward facing, rather than child-like and ephemeral. Compared to the above FiNe's Ingrid seems like more of an "adult" or a mother, and this is because of senex energy.

Yet it's not so strong that we would cross over into SiFi territory. So here is where a demarcation must be made. (another spoiler; Fred Rogers is SiFi!)

^ notice the absolute inertia of Mr.Rogers. He has no Ji energy, or core. His eyes remain fixed forward, his every head shake has a gentle confidence to it, and he appears all around like a Wise Old Man. There's a creamy, conductor delivery to his nods and juts. This is a conductor energy which Ingrid has a little of, but nowhere near this level.

The core distinction between FiSi and SiFi can be made, once again, through the presence or absence of that Ji "core." Ingrid, despite having that settled energy, is still deflating back to a private core every few seconds. Here is an example of the differences via GIFs:


^ Micro-jitters.. leading into a head tilt... and then a Pi eye-drift with Ji disengagement + light toggling
It's hard to see, but her Ji disengages down are being combined with Pi eye-drifts, so that when she goes into herself, she partially also remains open-eyed. But her energies are still very much receding from the environment and into a private place. We can compare this to Mr.Rogers:


^ Pi eye-drift... Ji momentum halt... then another Pi eye-drift with a fixed gaze forward

Here we see what a moment of Ji looks like when sandwiched between two Pi signals within a Pi-lead. You'll notice that Mr.Rogers never loses his composure, and his entry into reflection (Ji) is marked only by a slowdown of inertia, but not really by a disengagement of the eyes or a loss of condcutor energy. He remains ever settled, confident, mature. Now this is very very subtle but take another look at Ingrid's GIF... and watch how at the last second of the GIF, Ingrid gives up her composure. She's being mature but at the last second, she enters into reviser doubt. There's a genuine re-evaluation and a suspension of expertise as she goes into herself. Her eyes do a light toggling action, and her head tilt is more inquisitive than Mr.Roger's.

Psychology

Psychologically, Ingrid is also very much a Ji princess. Most famously, she was referred to (in an ill way) as a princess by one of her fellow hostages when she refused to be stripped of her dignity and stood firm by her identity despite living captive in the jungle for years. While her fellow hostages were willing to cooperate for the sake of survival, Ingrid would sink her Ji heels down in moments of entitlement to life although it risked upsetting the guards and punishing the whole crew. After her release, she ultimately feels that is what helped her stay alive.

On a more personal level, she believes her home country needs to change their ways as a nation, but that the change must start from within their hearts. This is a very inside-out (Ji) approach, rather than an outside-in approach like what we see with Je. Ingrid is Catholic, is very fond of her family, her roots and also shows an appreciation for little Si comforts too.

^ And here we see a different expression of 3 functions conscious.
This represents a different extreme, where Si+Te are both conscious within an Fi-lead, making them the closest possible to a conductor Delta.

Notice how there's a subtle difference between these two and the aforementioned ll-l development level. Susan Cain and Amy Cuddy have a "jumpy" energy to them, which these two lack. Instead, they are just like Ingrid Betancourt in that they are settled, well paced, and relaxed. There's a maturity to their movements that is not rushing into things, even though there is plenty of Je. And unlike the l--l developments, they are not glitchy or stuttery. This is because Pi removes that reviser doubt, and Je+Pi together exude confidence and coordination.

Yet, we still see a delicacy in Arianna Huffington's gestures, a "core" they come back to, and a habit of gently receding into herself.

Psychology

Huffington is very telling in her psychology. Just like Susan Cain and Amy Cuddy, she too was over-modulated for most of her life. She talks about experiencing "burnout" and collapsing from trying to attain the success-driven Western lifestyle. It's through these efforts that she presumably developed her Si+Te functions.



Yet, a deeper analysis of her interior reveals that she is quite the Fi advocate of the feminine. With books like "The Female Woman", "Maria Calla: The Woman Behind The Legend", "The Fourth Instinct: The Call of the Soul" and "Gods of Greece" -- she exemplifies an appreciation for the primeval soul. These are her earlier works too, which is important to note. As she got older she got more business minded until she eventually turned her attention to overthrowing the Te systems of the world. ("How to Overthrow the Government")

She embodies the Edin myth and it's antagonism against the dark side of the Edar myth; the impersonal machinery of society. Power games. Dominance. Industry. She advocates for a consideration of one's personal health, personal value and dignity. A "prioritizing" of the individual, and the body's needs. Again we see echoes of self-focus, at the expense of Je focus.
