I have seen several posts, articles, videos, and the sort as of late that perpetuates Fe-Ni hate. It has become really common for people to call ENFj "NPCs" "Manipulators" "Lazy Drama Stirrers" off of recent stereotype glaze of xNxP xSTx and other types of the arm chair edge lord variety. Especially in socionics where it has gotten extremely out of hand and almost astrology-level-bad... Please share your thoughts everyone!!

EIE / ENFJ are Ti dual seeking. They like systems like typology and psychology so they’re obviously going to be over represented, that’s a population issue. The issue for me comes from the fact that around 1.5% of the population are enfj/eie. Around less than 1% of men, and around 3% of women. Yet everyone and their grandma thinks they’re Fe-Ni. An accurately typed EIE is almost every time going to be an ENFJ.
I frequently see people who are obviously not enfj, more so esfj, infp, enfp, even esfp and isfp, some entp even. All claiming to be EIE and or ENFJ. They are mistaking the fact they are expressive or emotionally sensitive for having Fe as a base, without understanding the nature of extravert ethics. I see this with entj and lie too, you ask them to explain their base function and they are unable to. I have even see estj be mistyped as enfj eie due to a tendency to lecture with their Fe-Ni super ego. Let me know your thoughts, what makes you sure you’re an EIE ENFJ. Obviously in correlationist and am being quite rigid, don’t take offense, I accept the variability, just making a strict argument for the sake of reducing pointless argument!

I understand the idea, I’m just curious where the idea and stereotype stems from.
