Fi + Extroversion = Willingly studies and discusses those around them
Fi + Irrationality = Pronounced logical deficit in thinking and low confidence in any truths
Fi + Dynamics = Concealing one's real opinion and instead declaring socially desirable views

Typical manifestations of combining Fi with other functions:
Sum of two functions:
Fi + Fe = Ability to sympathize with others' misfortunes (ESI+EII+ESE+EIE)
Fi + Te = Serious attitude toward work and adherence to personal agreements with people (ESI+EII+LIE+LSE)
Fi + Ti = Dislikes unexpected turns of events, any deviation from the usual and controlled course of things (ESI+EII+LII+LSI)
Fi + Ne = Ability to empathize with people, believing in the best in everyone
Fi + Se = Ability to distinguish friends from foes and subtly control the behavior of those around them
Fi + Ni = Quiet, prefers not to draw unnecessary attention, the type of an observer of people

Fi + Qi = Especially dislikes impolite, brazen, rude or just overly intrusive behavior in others, is able to respect other people's personal boundaries, keeper of personal secrets type
Fi + Di = Patience and selflessness, educator type
Fi + Qe = Moralizing, moral accuser type
Fi + De = Others come to them for advice and psychological support, ethical harmonizer type

Sum of three functions:
Fi + Se + Qi = Ability to detect manipulation, not succumb to it and save face in any situation
Fi + Se + Di = Attentiveness to other people, ability to read the concrete motives of their actions
Fi + Ne + Qi = Against tougher punishments, against violence, in favor of humane treatment of any person
Fi + Ne + Di = Ability to find common ground and bring about agreement

Difference of functions:
Fi - Ti = Interested in individual style rather than general patterns in everything (ESI + EII + SEE + IEE)
Fi - Te = Low intellectual self-esteem in terms of the ability to operate complex mechanisms (ESI + EII + SEI + IEI)
Fi - Fe = Strives to extinguish the strongest emotions (both negative and positive) (ESI + EII + ILI + SLI)
Fi - Ne = Social "correctness" of behavior - carefully observes all unwritten rules of society
Fi - Se = Developed sense of guilt, conscientiousness, law-abidingness
Fi - Ni = Refrains from taking risks due to a sense of responsibility towards others
Fi - Si = Ethical discernment
Fi - Qi = Conformism - believes that the majority is usually right and no one needs to “stick their neck out” and go against others

========
Conclusions.
Evolutionarily, Fi originally arose in individuals living within the family/group nest and engaged exclusively in the care and upbringing of offspring, but not in food procurement. Thus, Fi was formed around attachment to their offspring and the willingness to nurture and care for them.

For introverted (base) Fi, the development of such qualities as restraint in movements and reactions (so as not to accidentally injure physically weak and small offspring in the nest during close contact, and not to mistake them for prey), sensitivity to the needs of not-yet-independent offspring, and, in part, the ability to wait patiently for the feeding parent, all the while remaining invisible to outsiders (so as not to attract potential nest robbers) came to the fore.
The role of extraverted (creative) Fi seems to have strengthened under conditions of group nesting, when the ability to distinguish family members within a large group of nearly identical-looking individuals and the ability to maintain good relations with neighbors became especially critical, so that they could back up the parents if necessary, or at least not consider their offspring to be their rightful prey.
With the development of culture, in human society Fi also appeared to be connected not only with the care of children, but, more broadly, with all weak and/or insufficiently intelligent members of society, who cannot take care of themselves independently - old people, wounded and crippled, sick, unstress-resistant due to psychological peculiarities, etc.

Thus, the active role of Fi can be defined as the creation of a social environment free from the pressure of natural selection, while its passive role is the better survival of the Fi-carrying genotype in the absence of natural selection (literally - association of the genotype and culture of the population with the factor of increased care for offspring, during which some individuals are protected and provided for by the group, and at this time their ability to resist natural selection is minimal).

Summarizing all of the above, the author concludes that the Fi function, from a biosocial point of view, can be defined as a complex of individual traits evolutionarily linked with WEAK NATURAL SELECTION.
