Functional Order: Fi/Se/Ni/Te
Dominant Function: Fi
Rey first intervenes for the droid because she can’t stand by and watch it captured and torn apart for scrap; she also refuses to sell it even though it would earn her much needed credits, because she respects individuality and individual rights… even for a droid. She is assertive in wanting things her way, and also has a sense of internal ethics that resist the influences of the Dark Side of the Force (even though it would be rational to kill her adversary, she refuses to do so; though drawn to Ben Solo, she resists his evil, instead standing on her principles). Rey also forms a strong, largely silent bond with Finn. She is greatly impacted by a death, but does not mourn in public; she merely shares her sadness in a silent hug with someone else who has lost the person too. Auxilliary Function: Se
She adapts quickly to her environment and fully engages with it; taking on dangerous situations without batting an eyelash (hunting for scrap, bringing a door down on a monster’s tentacles to save Finn, stealing the Millennium Falcon, and changing her plans on a dime). She is incredibly skilled in flying even with no experience in handling a rig that big. She is aware of what is going on around her and opportunistic.
Tertiary Function: Ni
Rey’s incredible ability to adapt to a new environment without much transition time means that she quickly senses the Force, and uses it to manipulate her guards, but it takes her some time to internally process “feeling the Force” in order to actively use it; she still instinctively knows that it WILL work if she keeps doing it. She has faith that finding Luke will somehow give her the answers. She trusts Finn despite not knowing him long, because she senses he is sincere. Rey also seems to understand that BB-8 is important before she hears the details. She quickly figures out what’s wrong with the Falcon and how to repair it.
Inferior Function: Te
Her logic is quick, because it’s entirely objective; she doesn’t have to think, she just acts in the heat of the moment (with help from Se). Her conclusions are all logical, but motivated through personal moral guidelines (Fi). She tends to act on her feelings – beating up Finn because the droid told her he stole a jacket, going after Kylo Ren after… you know (inferior Te).
