I recently watched a video where someone talked about this duality. One of the things he said was that the Ti/Fe duality believes that people can get on the same page, and it’s all about figuring out the best way to make that happen. Either by changing how people feel about their thoughts or by changing how people think about their feelings.

This made me realize what I might find uncomfortable about users of these functions. As an ENTJ, I contrarily believe that people are quite different from each other, and the key is to find solutions that work for as many people as possible despite those differences. The whole concept that everyone can and should feel or think the same seems ridiculous to me.

I dated an INTP for a few years, and one of the things that was uncomfortable for me was how he’d want me to agree that his logic was correct and reasonable. Yes, I’d say, it’s correct for you. That wasn’t enough for him. Now I see why it was so difficult for us to see eye to eye about this. He wanted us to agree on common ground, and I thought it was fine for people to each have their own thoughts and feelings on things.

It’s always interesting to learn new perspectives on cognitive functions. Even after I feel like I’ve got a good grasp of them, I can always learn something new and change how I think of them. If you’ve got a cool example of interacting with this Ti/Fe duality that I described (good or bad), please share!
