Leading Function-Fi-p (Compassion & Consideration)
Personal dedication to the moral principle of human dignity as the core of -Fi-p action. The act of refusing to give up her bus seat — motivated not by personal tiredness but by moral obligation to racial dignity. Long service with the NAACP as the basic function.

Vulnerable Function 1-Ne-p weak (Paradox & Insight)

Vulnerable Function 2+Ti-c weak (Precision & Thoroughness)
Weak +Ti-c: countering the institutional legal system of bus segregation with personal moral sense rather than systematic legal argumentation — evidence of +Ti-c weakness.
