Fe: Extraverted Feeling individuals crave emotional harmony in the sense that they wish for people to be on the same page emotionally. This makes them value outward emotional expression that is adapted to the emotional context of the room and situation. This makes these individuals emotionally adept and perceptive. They often empathize with the feelings they discern rather than putting themselves in the shoes of others, as an Introverted Feeling type would.

A frequently used example of Extraverted Feeling is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who showcased the type’s natural ability to rally people behind a cause using expressive emotion. He also serves as a demonstration that the desire for emotional harmony does not make the type conflict-averse, as some will strive to fight for the emotional harmony they desire, which at times can lead to conflict with other types or institutions that do not value it.

It is also important to note that the desire for social harmony could come from a sense of entitled guilt and is not necessarily equivalent to being good, as MBTI does not measure an individual’s morality. That being said, this type tends to score higher in the Good category than in the Neutral and Evil categories in Moral Alignment.
