See, J and P are not functions in themselves per se -- they simply describe (in MBTI) whether you extrovert a J or P function for your secondary [since you are an introvert]. So outwardly, if you feel like you have J/P issues, it means you probably have either a struggle between Ne and Fe (the extroverted secondary trait) or likewise the two similar primary traits (Fi vs Ni).

And when you look at your scores, you'll see that your Ne is actually higher than your Fe, and even your Fi is higher than your Fe. This connotes INFP. But your Ni is high enough that it seems like the predominate factor... which is INFJ in your case.

So you should be good at shifting your internal orientation and seeing lots of validity in many different viewpoints, but outwardly you show Ne behavior (which is P); you are more laid-back and open than perhaps a typical INFJ.

Here is a question: Do you have any struggles with actually implementing things in real life? Getting things done? Finding closure and moving on? (Just curious. )
