As mentioned in the INFP profile, the nature of Introverted Judgment without a purpose will be radically ego-centric, though the introverted judger who has found a higher purpose will likely avoid self-apotheosis. The latter is the danger that the ENP is particularly susceptible. As the Introverted Judgment is unlikely to function soundly if the ENTP is off-balance. Such individuals will likely use their keen awareness of the external environment to simply ‘pick the berries’ whilst having little concern for the interest of others and even less the amelioration of the community. This once more, is an inevitable consequence of introverted judgment turned corrupt. Manipulating the external situation will be central to his interests. Extroverted Perception will give him a clear view of the ‘entire board’, and Introverted Thinking will allow for the ENTP to make sound logical decisions to do all that is necessary to appease the whims of his egocentric will. Such ENTPs function in this fashion because they lack a higher purpose, or they do not wish to pursue any inner virtue that transcends what befits their external environment. Accordingly they will have little interest in being as logical as possible for instance. They will only want to be logical enough to get what they are looking for in terms of external rewards.

This same thing has happened to my ENFP brother I was telling you about, though he doesn't make the logical decisions as the ENTP. Instead he uses Fi to where he can 'inspire' people to give him the things he wants and do things for him.
I haven't finished the rest, but it all seems... self evident. That's actually why I haven't finished the rest. It's all so obvious (only to me?). I suppose having beaten the functions to death with Ti may be why I knew most of what I've read (again, I haven't finished), but one way or another, it seems accurate. I'm guessing that accounts for its obviousness?
