WOW. It was a really bitter pill to swallow indeed as the points brought up in that article really hit home for me. The excerpt quoted was one that hit me the hardest because I've noticed that I tend to fall into this pattern of "feeling" a "cause" so much, and become attached to it with such ferocious conviction that I would adopt such moralizing attitude towards these "causes" (even though often times the rest of the world don't seem to get it). And of course, it's always the loveliest when it's an abstract concept in my head because the actual solutions are just too far-fetched (ideally EVERYONE would just KNOW it and not do it, right?...but that's not what happens..sigh)...
And yeah, the context and how the outside world/system works isn't something that was ever really in my priority. It took a few ISTJs and INTJs in my life to hold my hand through that, and that "conforming" to the system doesn't necessarily mean it will trample on my "values", and from reading this page it's obvious that I still have a lot more to learn.
It also goes into why repression of Extraverted Thinking make INFP and ISFP types so prone to creative pursuits.
If you're a Fi(Introverted Feeling)-dom type or are interested in MBTI in the context of its Jungian Cognitive Functions. You really should give it a read. It's members-only though.
