Main Manifestations of Creative Fe and Fi

The creative function, in terms of its strength, is usually at an average level or just slightly above average. Moreover, it is manipulative, serving the interests of the base function. Therefore, in types with creative Fi, their Fi loses its normative character and acquires a manipulative character, mainly in the form of nagging at others to justify their own behavior.

Similarly, creative Fe is manipulative, usually manifesting either in the form of drawing attention to oneself (one’s bad mood, suffering, need for a holiday) in order to bargain for benefits and indulgences, or in the form of emotional provocations toward third parties aimed at aggravating the situation - usually for the sake of satisfying the needs of the program function of their dual partner.
