#fe vs te

Fe vs. Te: Am I an FJ or a TJ?

At initial glance, you may wonder who confuses an FJ with a TJ. I mean, one is a thinker and one is a feeler, right? One has Extraverted Fee

Do you think there is an equivalent of Te to your Fe obversation? Aka depends on environment and has trouble accepting other 'objective'/standardized rules than the one they learned?

Sorry for taking so long to get to your question. I had a few theories on this, but I wanted to ask my INTJ friend before answering. Overall, we both feel that no, there would not be a Te equivalent to the Fe observation. Unlike Fe, Te is not based upon social values. It’s focused more on statistics and empirical evidence. It’s, as she said, “centered on using their surroundings in an impersonal way to achieve maximum efficiency.” Observable evidence does not change depending where in the world your from (unless corruption is involved lmao).

That being said, that doesn’t mean that Te-users will never disagree with ‘objective’/standardized rules differing from the ones they learned. However, I would pin this more as an Ni/Si thing. Even if something falls within Te guidelines, if it doesn’t pass the Ni/Si test, it won’t be used. It is in this sense I feel it will change depending on the environment. Rules that makes a workplace efficient in one place of the world may not fit another, you feel me? ESTJs often reject the Te “logic” of an ENTJ and vice versa.

So as a whole, no, I don’t think there is an equivalent that stems solely from Te. Other functions will almost always be involved.
