Thanks for this. Also, if you can. I'm actually have a little understanding about what was Ti is. If you have a time, could you inform what does Ti mean?

Thanks for this. I have a little understanding of what Ti and Fe, but not much. If you have time, could you explain what Ti means here, and maybe give an example of a famous person?

What is Fi to IDRlabs? Let’s look at how they describe it:

IDRlabs: “Introverted Feeling, as a judging function, is inwardly focused, centering on the subjective emotional landscape of the individual. It is the function most attuned to ‘what matters to me,’ prioritizing personal authenticity and inner harmony over external expectations. … An artist might use Fi to create work that reflects their soul, unswayed by trends; a friend might offer support that feels uniquely genuine, rooted in their own emotional truth; a worker might choose a path that matches their values, even if it’s less conventional. The function’s strength lies in its ability to anchor individuals in their own identity.”

IDRlabs: “Sympathetic parallelism” (Which they take from Jung)
(What it means to IDRlabs is that Fi lives primarily in an inner world of values and feeling-images, running parallel to the outer social and practical world of Te and Fe.)

IDRlabs: “Fi prefers inner harmony through purity of values.”
(So instead of organizing the outer world like Te, Fi focuses on preserving inner emotional authenticity.)

IDRlabs: “It is the inner intensity of the passion that is the primary motivational factor” and “Fi is quite content with having no other aims besides itself.”
(In other words, Fi does not primarily seek efficiency, external validation, or measurable results like Te. It seeks inner sense of sincerity and emotional truth.)

IDRlabs: “Fi explores the eternal, underlying values; it brings the values into increased purity”, “Fi will often be seen in the negative, in terms of what it doesn’t like”, “The inner, creative world that is not compromised by outside interaction is more important than the outer world”, and perhaps most crucially “Fi types can easily be creative as long as the inner intensity of the feeling is not fundamentally reshaped by demands from the outer world.”
(Which explain why so many IDRlabs IFP types, ISFPs and INFPs, tend to emphasize on:
* Following passions deeply and purely
* Staying true to inner feeling
* Loving art because it allows purity of expression
* What they strongly like or dislike
* Disliking the corporate or standardized systems
* Only acting when something “feels right”)

IDRlabs: “The inner, creative world that is not compromised by outside interaction is more important than the outer world” and “In the creative endeavor, the artist can posit a parallel world that is entirely under his own control.”

IDRlabs: “The primary objective of the Fi function is to evaluate psychic material… felt with the utmost vivacity, purity, and passion.”

IDRlabs: “Fi seizes upon the internal sentiment that is generated by contact with the outer occurrence.”

So all in all taking all the quotes together, this explains why IDRlabs Fi tend to emphasize indirectly or directly about:

* Deep internal feeling
* Strong personal value clarity
* Creative self-expression
* Refusal to compromise authenticity
* Acting mostly when emotionally aligned
* Protecting inner emotional/dream world from external control or influence

So Fi’s statements will be more so examples of:

* Inner truth
* Emotional necessity
* Personal alignment
* Purity of expression

And will be much less likely about about:

* Metrics
* Strategy
* Methods of persuasion and social maneuvering
* Societal agreement or etiquette
* Market timing

Now with regard to Dido, these quote showcase the Fi dominant type’s process to a tee, par excellence.

Dido: "I really feel things deeply and that’s why I write songs."

Dido: “I write based on how I see and feel things ... It’s all about transferring how I see the world into a song."

Dido: “[The way] sort of been the way I’ve been with everything in life [is] if I’m not feeling like I want to put the music out, then I won’t put the music out. Or if I’m not feeling the need to get up on stage, then I won’t get up on stage.”

Dido: “People keep saying, ‘Why did you step away [from making music]?' It didn’t really feel like that to me. I just write songs. ... I’ve never made records until enough of it builds up and I feel like I’ve got something to say."

Dido: "I [am] very clear on what [I] like, and what [I] don’t."

Dido: "Music had always been my personal thing, no one invaded it, no one bothered me, it was absolutely mine. It was my escape. Whenever anything was bugging me, I'd just go and play my music and it made me happy. And there was something about them giving me money for it that, to me, symbolised it being taken away. I felt like I no longer had the thing that made my life worth living." (This quote is also evidence for inferior Te being rejected in preference for Dominant Fi)

Potential evidence for inferior Te:

The Guardian: "[Her parents were] angry at her lack of self-discipline."

Some Se-Ni:

Dido: "To me a song is just about the flow of it, it just has to flow and me to never notice in a way, it has to feel whole and real.”
(Very similar to ISFP Jonsi’s quote "Everything that Sigur Ros does has to flow; it is like good karma - if you do honest things, then everything is as it should be." Different from the eclectic and divergent process of Ne)
