Prejudices Function Block of IJ Types (Fe-Te)

These types hold prejudices regarding acceptable behavior and the logic of actions, strictly defining what is, and isn't, appropriate conduct. This rigidity extends to emotional responses: they have fixed ideas about when one must grieve and when one must rejoice.

Their prejudices also dictate the choice of activities (what kind of work to pursue, what tasks to undertake) and their attitude toward information (e.g., blindly trusting the printed word or, conversely, having an inherent bias against print).

These types often project established patterns or personal values onto broader social processes without objectively considering the specific qualities and evolving trends of those events.

They tend to impose their own perception of meanings or moral standards onto others, rarely bothering to account for the full spectrum of viewpoints present in society.

They perceive alternative beliefs as simply mistaken. It's difficult for them to grasp the idea that others can rely on a fundamentally different system of views, let alone that a multitude of such systems exists.

Given their reliance on traditional methods within their professional domain, their creative projects frequently suffer from a degree of predictability, subjectivity, and conventionality.

Without an effort to broaden their perspective and cultivate tolerance for alternative views, these types will find it challenging to achieve genuine, unconstrained creativity.
