@Moksha INFJs have have very strong Fi but do not value it. INFPs have very strong Ni but prefere Ne.

How?

Thanks all, after reading through some of the descriptions I'm even more confused.

If I had to order by function, for me it feels like:

Introverted Intuition (Ni)
Extraverted Intuition (Ne)
Introverted Feeling (Fi)
Extraverted Feeling (Fe)
Introverted Thinking (Ti)
Extraverted Thinking (Te)
Introverted Sensing (Si)
Extraverted Sensing (Se)

The intuition thing is confusing me the most, because internal vs. external feels like a false differentiation. I experience it as all the same.

@Carl-Richard It is based on Socionics. Here you have some information:

OK. I'll simplify it for you.

If you're an INFJ, you have a strong Fe, which means you're more about what others are feeling, their values, and influencing others.  INFJs tend to be the preacher-prophet types.  They make good counselors.

If you're an INFP, you have a strong Fi, so you're more in touch with your own feelings/values, and you're more attuned to healing others.  INFPs make the best healers and writers.

INFJ = The Counselor

INFP = The Healer

What he means (I think), is that regardless of your type, you can focus your attention on yourself (as consciousness).

That's really the only thing to do in the end, and no personality has an advantage on that, because it doesn't matter what you do you can always be conscious.

It sounded an awful lot like "don't even think about these things at all, it's dangerous" or something.

Well, you can recognize that you have a personality type without some pathological attachment to it.  It's just reality.  In fact, it may help you to understand your weaknesses and how to constructively deal with them.

That helps, thank you @Haumea2018. My sense is that personalities can be somewhat fluid across categories, depending on circumstances and the individual, but the underlying processes are helpful for introspection.
