Hi. I'm an ESTP and I find this explanation very helpful /post/183481379497/. But I was wondering, how does this process work with Ti aux? For example, you've said, "Fi needs to feel authentic self-expression, which actually means that life cannot only be lived for yourself. When you express yourself or your values into the world, you always hope to get validated in some way, and you cannot achieve validation in a vacuum." What about Ti? What does Ti need?

Ti needs to build a genuine sense of capability and mastery, which requires that you work on developing your knowledge, skills, and talents. However, this also means that life cannot only be lived for yourself. Knowledge, skills, and talents don’t mean very much when you never put them to good use, especially when you only use them as a means to convince yourself of your own superiority. This is why Ti and Fe go together. Only when you use your intelligence and capabilities to contribute something good to those around you will you feel as though you are living at your best - this is the long road to life fulfillment and realizing your potential (Ni). Many estps don’t have the patience to take the long and winding road, which is why they opt to play games and use mental tricks in order to feel self-assured (Fe loop).

I have an estp friend who makes a very, very good living in a job that requires immense adaptability and mental flexibility. However, he is not content with only being able to support himself and give his family a high standard of living. He also teaches what he knows, sets up communities to support people who are learning his craft, and mentors the next generation. Why? Once upon a time, somebody taught him how to fish and now he returns the favor by teaching others, so he understands how to show humility and gratitude. In fact, many people in his field tend to keep to themselves. He could easily rest on his laurels because he is widely regarded as a master (part of being able to claim mastery comes from social validation). However, there is something that drives him to do more than just living for himself. He’s not a complicated man by any means, his motives are very simple and straightforward, he doesn’t try to be good at everything but only at the one thing he loves, he enjoys his work and is forever practicing and getting better - he can be said to hear the call of his greater potential.
