There are no borderline types, types in themselves are clearly defined, albeit your dominant and inferior functions can be both clearly developed and therefore make it seem like one does not have a definite advantage over the other. This is what makes it easy for us to mistype ourselves--a high skill level with the non-preferred faculties.
Type is just an unconscious tendency, it is either in favor of one or the other. No reason why we cant do well with things that we are not naturally drawn to..but that again, shows that its not a good idea to try to see what you're naturally drawn to based only on what we're good at. We'd have to go much farther than that--thoroughly examine the way our unconscious mind works.

Only he who has slain the serpent and knows not fear can bestride Odin's horse and ride through the wall of fire; only he who wields Odin's sword can draw near to that sleeping might and beauty, and sunder the stifling links of mail, and show the divine face to men.'
