I hear different reasonings as to why people choose (or not choose) their types.
Real-Life versus Online interactions
How people perceive the person in real-life and how people perceive the person online.
How the person perceives himself or how other people should type the person instead (because other people are a better indicator of who you are.)
How a person acted as a child versus how the person acts now.
Whether the person was stressed when taking the test or not (after all, an INFP and ESTJ are dramatically different... and an INFP is extremely different from an ISTP.)
How the person wouldn't mind acting versus how the person truly acts (which ties in with real life and online experiences.)
Whether the person is suffering from a "condition" or not.
------------------------------------------------------------
Example?
Real life? I'm told in real life that I can't be an IXFP. I just can't be. No way, no how, that is the end of the story.
"What is this deal with being a 9w1?"
"How can you be peaceful?
"You? Flexible? "
"You like a robot. Show your emotions some more." <---- high school, was funny hearing someone say that. It was one of those.... "What?!" moments.
Online? I'm told I use an awful amount of Fi with a backdrop of Te. The Te is there, it is just that it isn't overbearing. The Fi can, at times, be VERY overbearing especially when I add more Te to the mix.
"Back off!"
"You're taking things too seriously."
"Who are you to say how I should act?"
