Why it moves to #1
* Emotional validation is described as a core value, not a tactic.
* You frame relational care as part of fairness, not as emotional labor.
* Your bluntness emerges mainly when values or identity are violated, not as a baseline.

That aligns with Ni–Fe, especially mature INFJ behavior.

===== Why it stays in contention =====
* Your thinking style is still structured, prioritizing accuracy over comfort.
* You clearly separate truth-seeking mode from social mode.
* Many INTJs learn Fe-like behaviors and execute them competently—but often describe them as management, not instinct.

The deciding factor is whether emotional attunement feels natural or deliberate.

===== Still unlikely for the same reasons as before—your concern for emotional impact is too consistent and value-driven. =====
