Yes, I confuse a great number of people -- there have been a few debates about my T/F line (and I notice that you are an INxP, similarly, which might be why it was so noticeable to you).
On all conventional MBTI online tests (where you are simply picking between T/F options), I always score INTP.
On the Berens function test, my scores were as follows:
Ti - 49.2
Ne - 42.2
Ni - 38
Fe - 29.8
Fi - 28.5
Te - 21.7
Si - 19.5
Se - 11.5
Which scores INTP.
On the
MMDI which I just discovered yesterday, my function scores were:
Ni - 28
Fi - 26
Ne - 22
Ti - 19
Fe - 16
Si - 13
Te - 9
Se - 7
That test (for the first time I've seen) typed me as an INFx.
JivinJeff suggests that one's type around the ages of 10-15 probably is most indicative, before one develops the typical social guises. I was INTP in my approach to life; but I was very very isolated and lonely, and this came out both in writing and in music where I was seeking for those "intimate" feelings and looking for some sort of emotional connection.
Which I think is why I developed this very introspective "Jane Eyre" or autobiographical/personal writing/artistic style, but it is all processed through a T filter. I learned to socialize through my writing.
So I look much more F than many T's in how I relate and describe things and try to connect with people, but I still make my decisions about life through T sensibilities rather than F ones, and do not have a strong inner sense of values; my criteria tends to be external, like a T's.
