When do we develop our Fi and how does it change us?

[Jgib5328]

I've read that in the early 20s the INTJ will start developing a stronger Fi function and it will change the. For anybody who is knowledgeable of this, can you tell me how this development affects the INTJ?

Thanks

I have a very developed Fi, and I'm only 18. It's all about recognising your own values, your own morality and your own feelings. You need to introspect and discover what makes you tic, what inspires you, and how your emotions work. That's basically it.

Google "Introverted Feeling" for more details.

I second what Paul says.
Even though my cognitive proccesses are staunchly INTJ, I still have a lot of F, so I already have a strong Fi.
I'd say it tends to value people as people, not parts of your plan, and feel at least a twinge of emotion at the "typical" heart-wrenching things.

I do not know from experience what it means to have a pang of conscious.

I third what Paul has said. I'm 35 and just now dealing with the ramifications of not dealing with and fully understanding what Paul has outlined above.

For me personally now at 35, the biggest change in myself that I am experiencing is that I am finding myself wanting to be with people more than I used.

Same here. It started at my 30. Must admit that I am a little bit lost.

I'm still working on my F at 30. But, I'm definitely more developed in my F than my S.
