Under this pressure, an INFP can summon recessive TJ and place it in starring role, rather than its natural supporting role. If role reversal becomes permanent, cost to personal satisfaction is too high. INFPs in this situation are likely to have success, money, friends, and misery. They gave whole show to TJ, who is exhausted, while poor FP starves.
