ILI (INTp) Type Description

[@roanlaplante]

I would describe introverted intuition as narrowing, rather than converging. Focus is limited, but not necessarily to only one main point. Types that take things told to them too literally - that sounds more like the ILI than the LSI, with little focus on Fe and preference for source integrity. although Ti dominant types with weak Fe could do it as well sometimes, but they prefer free expression rather than direct communication - you alluded also to the preference for direct communication later in the video Your discussion of Fi - referring to how ILIs feel about people and policies -- is a little confusing. My concept of source integrity, in my opinion, is a stronger explanation. Source integrity is the preference to pick good information sources (typically, people) and clearly communicate with those sources without an additional filter. Source fluidity is the opposite, the preference to accept information from any sources, and filter it based on what is logically or internally consistent -- all Te valuing types have source integrity, but ILIs (and ESIs) have harsh judgment in a way that they evaluate their sources more critically than others. In my opinion this is also why "Ti dominants" as you put it are annoying, although I would not say it is Ti dominant people always or exclusively, but rather people who are stuck to ideas that are uninteresting due to their evidenceless (for example, astrology) -- those types of people are annoying to ILIs (and other gamma types, perhaps for different reasons)

I don't care too much about source integrity. The crucial part of any informational discharge is how wonderful everyone feels afterwards
