I used to think I was a Ti-lead. I had typed as INTJ on the MBTI test several years ago, but decided on INTP after reading about the functions. I stuck with this until the last year. Reading through some of the INTP forums, I was shocked at the descriptions some gave of their internal processes. There were some obvious mistyped PiTe's and Fi-leads, but there were a lot of people who claimed to be completely emotionless (which obviously describes a minority of Ti-leads, but is probably an accurate description of those with suppressed Fe). Also, a lot of them claimed to experience strong interpersonal feeling, but were capable of operating internally without being affected by these feelings. I realized that I had the opposite case. I am feeling very intense emotion at almost all times, but have a very difficult time relating to other people at an emotional/ethical level. I have a very impersonal relation to my environment, and (when I'm not being careful) I often find myself viewing/treating other people as if they were inanimate objects (just being honest...).

I am telling you all of this because I think that Fi and Ti are very similar in a lot of ways. They definitely have more in common with each other than with either of the Je functions. I happen to see a lot of characteristics associated with Ti in myself. I stop and start a lot too, and I often find myself looking for the perfect word or phrase while pausing. I happen to think that it has more to do with Ji>Je than with having Ti. Ji values accuracy and precision (whether ethical-emotional or logical-amotional) above all other things. Je places higher value on the quality of articulation.

I don't want to tell you that you can't be a Ti-user. All I can say is that, as far as CTVR can tell, you are most likely an Fi-user. I noticed that you claimed to not be much of an empiricist. Is that one reason why you think you have Ti? I'm not that much of an empiricist either, to be honest. I think I sometimes claim to be one, but (once again, if I'm really being honest with myself) it is pretty superficial. For the most part, if I want something to be true (unless there's compelling evidence against it) I can convince myself of its validity. But I don't think that I am a Ti-user. When it comes down to it, my subjective judgment process is ethical-emotional and my objective judgment process is logical-amotional.

I've only read page one of this thread, and will read the rest soon, but I wanted to first cast my vote for NiTe. Lots of Blunt Te brow raises. Ni heavy lidded eyes throughout with Pi disengage down to the sides. Monotonous Te speech as well as exacting head nods. Some occasional Se eye toggles. There's something i've noted in several Fi users now which i'm calling the Fi contemplative frown. I didn't get the time stamps but you did one near the beginning and another a few minutes in. I'll go read the rest of the thread now and add any additional thoughts.

Yes, yes. robinhood Erifrail once clarified (in the thread about Gotye) that Fi users can make 'Fe smiles' because Fe smiles are 'staged' - anyone can make them. And that, HOWEVER, Fe users can't make an 'Fi smile', only Fi users. 

sitbone: Me and jason13 decided to make an interaction video whaddaya guys think? (gotta be some hardcore function-action in the frame pic!)

Well, thanks for taking a look guys! I know I seem kind of in denial about the whole Ti/Fi-thing in the video The votes are quite unanimous for NeFi as my VR-reading.. I should probably let it go a little at this point, it might just click after a while.

Oh, the video interaction was a super idea to VR purposes.

robinhood, your Ne is MASSIVE Ne Ne Ne Ne Ne Ne Ne Ne-lead. NeFi.

jason13, the interaction allowed lots of Fi-lead signals to appear. Your face is completely taken over by Fi emotion (it's an Fi flood): no Fi-support, Fi-subpolar or Fi-polar have that. And your eyes look very Se.

robinhood I am still seeing NeFi. Ne-lead is very clear. Fi-support still seems right. There was something about your smile that created a bit of doubt when recording the video. I'll have to watch some more and look at other Ne-leads when I have the time, but NeFi seems right.
