This definitely resonated for me! While I still feel inadequately equipped to truly determine my preferred personality type (without bias). I do identify best with ENTP preferences. So I obviously love when both your personal experiences sneak into each podcast. I just wanted to comment about the heroic energy of the driver function desiring praise and applause and hero acknowledgment. I OFTEN spontaneously (physically and metaphorically) erupt into applause for the work you guys do with this podcast and your resources! Truly. You guys blow me away. Each episode feels like a little golden nugget and I will relisten many times over to continue to glean more insight. Bravo!
As an INFP the fantasy of “rightness” didn’t resonate with me. While I’m sure I lead with Fi and place great importance on authenticity and being aligned with my inner values I don’t feel strongly that about others must agree with me. The EP idea of freedom and not being bound to conventional systems seems more attractive to me. To wake up and do as I please seems much more attractive than being perceived as right. I’m certain of my values and I don’t need other people to validate them. I have Fi not Fe. Perhaps this is just confusion on defining terms? Do any other IPs feel the same?
This overlay of the FIRM model with the archetypes has brought me a new depth of understanding. Having IP preference and my hero having been focused on aligning with the rightness of myself and the what I perceive to be the greater good, I have come to realise without the animus to drive positive impact with/on/for others there is no common greater good for all. therefore as you rightly mention extremely limited hero impact and positive impact on the world is what I seek.
