Te judges by results that can be confirmed externally. How it makes decisions, why it can seem cold, and how it differs from Ti.

Fi (Introverted Feeling): How It Judges and Why It Is Misunderstood

Fi judges by whether something fits the values it holds inside. What it looks at when choosing, why it can seem fickle, and how it differs from Fe.

Fe (Extraverted Feeling): How It Judges and Why It Is Misunderstood

Fe judges by the state of the people it is with. What it considers first when deciding, why it can seem to have no opinion, and how it differs from Fi.
