FeNi: The Definitive Vultology

FeNi l--- Adaptive Male / The Mystic Life-Coach



The baseline for the FeNi more appropriately belongs to the Directives as they constitute the majority of FeNi developments, but I would like to start with the Adaptives to present a keener point of contrast going forward. Immediately we see strong similarities between the vultology of these three, chiefly in the amount of Fe Warm Swelling they display. Notice how Ralph Smart milks out every second of his Fe impact and hits with a gentleness and invitation. It is as though they are scooping you up into their bosom through their gesticulations. This is an aspect of Adaptive Fe.

All carry a strong confidence, a powerful posture with forwardness and boldness despite being warm soft teddy bears. There's a curious juxtaposition here with femininity added through a sensitive nurturing energy, but a masculinity inserted through a strong and powerful presence. There's also a trend in Fe-lead males to bulk up muscle which is not entirely unrelated to Fe's relationship to persona, hierarchy and bravado. This pattern will continue to repeat itself further down the thread.

- Mindset Shifting
- Achieving Full Potential
- Connecting with something Beyond
- Teaching
- Nurturing connections between people

Drew Canole and Ralph Smart carry much the same message. Both are oracles with the intent to guide their audiences towards a higher frequency ("frequency" and  "energy" are common words used) that is also connected to a higher (and often karmic) causality. We see in these two the E+N+F temperament and how it focuses on the power of intention, and how that manifests (E) into actualities. But as we see with the introduction of Derek Muller, it doesn't have to be this way. While Ralph and Drew have their egos in Ni and Fe respectively, Derek appears to favor Ti and takes a more analytical route. He is the least esoteric of the three and depends instead on science for answers, but his life focus is still in raising human consciousness, raising awareness via education and honing the art of pedagogy. Whether it's through mysticism or academia, the motif that runs through each of them is "I have something important [truth] to teach you that can change your life [for the better]."

FeNi l--- Directive Male / The Humanist Preacher



Now, we see quite a different disposition in the Directive FeNi's. The attention turns away from "taking others into one's arms" and to pushing out a message with a degree of aggression. Vultologically this displays itself in more head shakes or rattles, more pointed emphasis, less delay in Fe's warm swelling, and the like. One might say there is a "condescending" tone to directive Fe, embedded with a degree of shame even if one is not at fault. "Moral Judgment" is certainly being dished out and the audience is receiving that accusation in a depersonalized way. For example Mandy Patinkin preaches to Charlie Rose with that condescending tone although Charlie is not at all the one responsible for the transgressions being mentioned.

An explicit relationship exists between the decontextualized "audience" and the Fe user, and Directive Fe expresses that relationship in a general form. It is more appropriate to think of this as a message that is being broadcast to the world but which uses this specific conversation as a vehicle for delivery.

Psychology

- Human Behavior
- Morality / Character
- Responsibility to our Fellow Man
- Pro-Socialism
- Commentary on Politics & Corruption
- Advocacy


Unlike the Adaptives above, this batch is entirely homogeneous. All carry concerns related to human nature and how to answer questions related to society's self-organization based on what we know of the tribe's needs. There also appears to be a strong socialist bent, or at least a move away from capitalism (if we put the two on a spectrum, for the sake of analogy). More power for the government to help the disenfranchised, less power to big corporations and big businesses. There's a strong advocacy for "the responsibility to our fellow man" which compels a legislative approach that has no qualms with all of us sacrificing a little (of our taxes) for a greater cause. There's also a philosophical bent in some of these personalities about "what it means to be human."

FeNi l--- Directive Female



The female FeNi counterparts generally appear more poised and contained (in all developments) which is also reflected in the TeNi women. There's a bit less aggression present and a bit more delicacy, but just the same level of conviction and confidence.

Psychology

- Human Rights Movements
- Leadership
- Journalism
- Pro-Socialism
- Democracy
- Advocacy of women's power

Politically there is a strong democratic & socialist bent to these samples, just as with the above. Ana Kasparian is an avid liberal and co-host of The Young Turks and Abby Martin is no less a liberal; advocating for the abolishing of capitalism and the need for a more humane alternative. The two are like twins! It's so interesting to see them side by side.

These samples may be characterized as "strong women" just as their TeSi female counterparts. They are all career-minded, successful and also outspoken. Being an actress, Sandra Bullock is less explicit about political matters but she mentions selecting acting roles that paint women in ways that break the mold. Ana Kasparian advocates female rights as well as civil rights in general, and prides herself in having worked herself up to a favorable position. "Hard work" is a motif that presents itself here, which accompanies the ethics of many FeNi's such as Will Smith and Bruce Lee who we'll come to next.

FeNi l-l- Adaptive Male / The Pickup Artist



Double extroverted energy. A combination of Je-lead forwardness with Pe loose body swaying and momentum. This conjunction can be encapsulated in the following GIFs:


There's a spring in their step, a bit of a suave or sassy energy, but it's all being crafted and coordinated through a Je-lead body. Like the ll-- types above, the spinal priority is never really lost and the entire presentation still emerges from a place of deliberation. It is as if these FeNi's use Pe for "effect" and in order to embellish their otherwise more rigid Je persona. One does not get the sense that they are genuinely loose and aimless; quite the opposite they seem in control and in command but their Fe charisma uses Pe as a tool for delivery.

Psychology

- Smoothtalkers
- Charmers
- Hyper Masculine Persona
- Pickup Artistry
- Entertainment / Comedy

Will Smith capitalizes on his Fe+Se charm in many of his acting roles, such as Hitch. Shemar Moore players a similarly flirtatious and suave character in his acting roles. And these qualities follow them outside of the acting studio. However this types range goes beyond PUA. The combination of Fe+Se also allows for a generally dynamic range that is fit to toggle many acting roles and high-pace situations. We see this in Michael McCrudden who is a bit of an analog to the TeSi Prolific Media Generators.

FeNi l-l- Directive Male / The Thug



Now the difference between the adaptive l-l- types and directive l-l- types is analogous to the difference we saw between the two in the l--- development. Adaptive l-l- types are suave, jovial and charismatic in their use of Se. However, Fe+Se + Directive creates a different, more delinquent energy hence the alias "The Thug", as I feel it aptly covers the personalities above as compared to "The Pickup Artist". Jocko mentions loving a career with machine guns, and he has a naturally combative personality. Denzel is known for playing thugs in all his most famous films, and DJ Khaled is part of that same scene.

FeNi l-l- Adaptive Female

FeNi l-ll Directive Male



Now just as we've seen with the TeSi l-ll, the same thing occurs when a Polarized FeNi has conscious Pe, leading to a kind of hyper-jitteriness. Peterson falls into the same category as Elizabeth Warren and Camile Paglia, but on the Beta side of things.

As with the l--l developments above, you can see the Ti signals very strongly in his:
- Ti Puppeteer Hands
- Ti Neutralizations
- Ti Absent Tension
- Ti Technical Glitching

But you also see:
- Pe Bubbling Momentum
- Pe Restlessness
- Pe Eye-Toggling



And so Peterson has all the same Ti poise and delicacy that we see in the l--l types, but is also really amped in some moments. His energy swells and as it swells it fills with reviser doubt. For example, he struggles to get words out, his eyes toggle all around, his head looks upward (i.e. at 0:47) and he fiddles his fingers and words forward (in a very Ti+Pe way), all the while coming through a Je-lead forcefulness. It's fascinating to see the combination in the GIF above.

Also, unlike the slow and methodical Carl Sagan above, Peterson is always thinking on his feet (revising) and re-framing his own thoughts according to how best they fall into the newly rising conversation. Sagan, on the other hand, feels like he's got this beautifully written script in his head which he does call forth in real-time but which also seems to be pre-encoded (Pi) and ready for translation.

FeSi Iyanla Vanzant

I think when I first came across her I hadn't accounted for the black baseline of the eyes, but a more thorough look at her eye quality and her overall body energy demonstrates an Ne buoyancy, Ne divergence, and levity. She has Si slanting edges, and an Ne gentle embedding. She is like a slightly more silly/goofy and homey version of FeNi Oprah -- and seeing them side by side really helped isolate the differences. 

FeNi Ian McKellen

So I've gone back and forth between NiFe and FeNi on Ian McKellen before.. and even had him as NiFe ll-- in the last evaluation and the NiFe thread. But now I'm 100% sure he's been FeNi all along. Through the process of differentiating NiFe ll-- from FeNi ll--, this was made clear to me. And I think making both threads really helps in seeing the obvious. I was also using an interview of Ian that wasn't the most helpful... but after reviewing many more interviews it becomes exceedingly clear that Ian is Je-lead as you can see in this clip above. Very rigid, very on-point, very angular, deliberate, face-centric. He's so similar to Patrick Stewart in some moments that I swear I blend both of their faces.

That's all the damage I have to report. I'm generally quite satisfied with this round.
There are more samples I still need to add, but I wanted to sketch out the available development levels first. From there, it becomes rather easy to organize the rest of the FeNi's. 

UPDATE:
To the following section...

FeNi l-l- Directive Male / The Thug



Now the difference between the adaptive l-l- types and directive l-l- types is analogous to the difference we saw between the two in the l--- development.
