Stages of Polar Fe Development

...according to our own personal understanding and experience. This may be different for other TiNe (I'd love to compare experiences) but for the sake of writing and initiating a dialogue, I'll start with what our path has shown us.

Developmental Stage 1

• Ignorance of Dynamics
  We being our relationship to Fe with an ignorance to its dynamics. People move about and their behavior seems very arbitrary. The reason behind social acts and customs is mindboggling and irrational. Reality is looked at primarily for the purpose of finding the overlying principles of dispassionate truth, void of human consideration.
  
  
• Pressure Sensing
  Yet, even at this earliest stage there is still a feeling of social/cultural pressure. Polar Fe will be operational in an invasive way where it will sense the expectation or wrongdoings trespassed despite Ti not believing in the principles behind them. Combined with the above ignorance to the purpose of the expectations, it can be a disquieting feeling. On one hand your Fe feels like it's being pulled out of you, outside of your own volition or control, but you rationally understand that there is no purpose for this to happen - and so one retaliates against their own Fe's pressure sensing. Nonetheless, Fe will not go away and will continue to bring its awareness into the situation when it can.
  

Developmental Stage 2

• Keen Awareness of People Dynamics
  This stage marks the true beginning of development, as polar Fe begins to take an active interest in people -- out of a paradigm integration of the human equation into the mix. Before, people may not have mattered but now they are accepted as part of the complex reality that one is trying to understand. This makes them all the more of a mystery to primary Ti because it presents the enormous challenge of understanding them. At this point, the psyche is still about 90% Ti to 10% Fe. What this means is that Fe will bring active awareness of what it sees to the forefront of the mind, but Ti spends that 90% of its time trying to understand it like trying to understand a very complex math equation.
  
  What this leads to is a very keen awareness of people dynamics, as Ti strives to "make sense" of how people work, in just the same way it is aiming to understand all else. This, however, remains a heady endeavor. That 10% of Fe is not birthing any logistical power, but is gifting Fe its power of dynamic tracking and pressure sensing. Fe has not yet given the psychic collective its other qualities.
  
  
• Persona Modeling
  In coming to accept Fe's initial place within the psyche, another result comes about; Fe's persona consciousness. It now becomes important that one's conveyance reflect one's inner self-perception, and this disharmony can lead to a great desire to persona-mold. The self comes to realize that there's a disparity between their inner sense of conviction, idealisms and character, and the far more mild, non-persuasive outer expression. As with the keen awareness mentioned above, this activity will remain largely a Ti endeavor informed by Fe. What results is an idealized "self" that is as dynamic, interactive, impactful and direct as the Ti-Fe duality would want it to be. Ti takes its time perfecting a persona that would perfectly align with the etho-logical values it now holds, but it still remains somewhat at a loss when it comes to implementation.
  
  
• Depth of Feeling
  And running parallel to the above two effects, which result from the initial integration of Fe into the ego, comes a sudden surge of feeling. No longer is the psyche (if it ever really was) a sterile place. If Fe is truly accepted into the person, emotional concerns begin to emerge, morph, ebb... flow. If this is the fist time the person has truly considered their own emotional dimension, Ti+Ne's curiosity can lead them deeply into self exploration of terrain that has remained rather uncharted. For myself, I remember this made me feel like quite a "feeler" type and I contemplated FiNe and NiFe as possible types. But I later came to understand it was due to my own fascination with parts of myself I hadn't understood before.
  
  Still, all the traces of Ti dominance follow this endeavor, and the TiNe will be able to see that they lead with Ti after all. The escapade into the self is ultimately fueled by the crystalline deconstruction of Ti, aimed at finding the truth of things from that detached place... (even about oneself) yet it may allow attachment to form for the sake of exploring what can only be explored via being invested and connected. This aspect of Fe often overlaps with a relationship, as it allows for the largest range of self-exploration.
  

Developmental Stage 3

• Small Bubble Leadership
  The next power that Fe gives the psyche is social shepherding and coordination. At this stage, Fe births not only awareness of social dynamics, but awareness of where the real-time trajectory can go next and what desirable or undesirable impact that will have. In conversation, this leads to an ability to steer things subtly in the right direction in order to maintain a desired course. Over the course of time, this can lead to a bubble (of friends/people) forming naturally around a certain cause.
  
  But for the TiNe, at this stage especially, a place is needed for Ti to flourish. It cannot be an activity supported purely for Fe motives or it will fall through. What I have seen with myself others is that the TiNe finds a niche/place where their analytical abilities can support the development of a community; where they can play a helpful part by giving Ti+Ne insights. This may accidentally put them in leadership positions due to their knowledge and precision, and if their Fe is up for it, they can adequately sustain this position. The TiNe will simultaneously gain the benefits of having mutual investigators, and also be exercising their Fe to be more diplomatic and tactful. For me this stage began through online mediums. I lead a gaming community with an active chatbox in one case, and a community of introverts in another.
  
  
• Morality/Conviction and Logical Integration  (the bridge)
  Then, as Ti and Fe continue to develop from both fronts, the bridge between the two is eventually closed. A paradigm finally forms in which the person is simultaneously a etho-logical entity and principle(Ti) translates into conviction(Fe). This is initially unsettling because Ti has no place within itself to consider application, especially when it is motivated by dispassion. But the psyche of the TiNe will remain split until it can reconcile, in some way, their truth-beliefs about life and how that converges with Fe's desire for an "ought". Life becomes at once about "what is" and also what "we ought" to be in terms of character and idealisms.
  
  This also births a heightened degree of articulation. Once a bridge forms between the two, Fe is able to give thought and form to just about any of Ti's principles and the TiNe gains greater clarity, speed and precision in its arguments as well as its impact. Words become more poetic, while honoring both the concern for logical truth and ethical purity. A good example of this T-F convergence is Carl Sagan. In a similar way, a power of translation develops in a TiNe when this bridge is established.
  
  
• Charismatic Articulation
  Still, physical manifestation in the form of gesticulation, charisma and impact will be faint. Higher level maneuvers (such as preaching/public-speaking) will be energetically taxing, but as a Judgment type, the TiNe's primary oscillation is geared to eventually run into this challenge. All J-leads have at their end-goal (with Je-Ji integration) a desire to move nations and the world toward more idealistic order, intelligence and peace -- however they come to define this. Amy Cuddy is an excellent example of someone who is tackling this dimension with success. It is both energy intensive but also a high-payoff if at last Ti's beliefs and rationality can be championed to a mass audience. This is a level I haven't personally reached, so I don't know all there is to discover about it.
  

Developmental Stage 4 (and beyond)

• I have glimmers of what this may look like, but I can't see past this point...
