I already answered many questionnaires, but they're useless and vague. I'n not a noob and I know the functions. So there's no need to consider all the 16 types for me. I'm not an extravert, so we got to choose from 8 types. I'm also on the Ne/Si-Si/Ne spectrum, so we can remove other 4 types from the decision. I'm also not a dominant introverted thinker. Values and emotions are important. So we have to choose from these types: INFP, ISFJ, ISTJ.

I'll try to give some descriptions about my behaviour (oh nooooo, behaviour is not related to the cognitive functions!!!1!1!1!1!1!1) AND I'll try to the reasons that let me act in a certain way.

I'm a very cautious person. I don't like jumping into a situation before practicing. After getting my driving license my classmates were like "WOAH HOW FAST DID YOU GO AT THE MAXIMUM? I REACH 150KM/H!!!!!". I was like "I don't go fast, I just go where I have to go without hurrying". I was a little bit embarassed, because I never even considered the possibility to go faster than 100km/h. After a few months I started going faster sometimes, and reached 150km/h too, and once I reached that speed a few times, I started feeling comfortable at higher speeds, and began riding faster.

It's like my mind has to build stable blocks to feel comfortable.

When I'm stressed I often drive the car. But I nearly never go to unknown places. I always reach the same spots. It's really repetitive. But sometimes I just start driving randomly.

When I start eating a food I like, I'll eat it everyday. I ate only tuna for a week. Only melon the other week. I'm ripetitive.

When stressed I think at all the possible negative consequences.

I'm very anxious, but I ain't organized. I procrastinate a lot, and I'm very lazy. Despite of this, I give the impression of a rigid impassible person.

When someone tells a shitty joke, I try to fake a laugh, but it's just because it would become awkward otherwise. I don't want to hurt others and I don't want others to hurt me.

I'm pretty asocial and mysanthropic. I have a great consideration of few people, but I don't give a **** about the others.

Sometimes I become very rigid and dispotic, but generally I only mind my own business.

To me, the most sure way to find your type is through finding you type compatibility. What I would recommend is, if you care enough to, is to read through a few of my posts/threads and see what your impression is- If you think I seem familiar/similar in a lot of ways then maybe you're an NF; Different but with some common interests? Maybe your an NT. Can't stand me/hate my guts? Probably an STP. etc. etc. etc.

These tell a lot about what type you are so I would recommend that approach and see where it gets you. :nod:

^This was a post I made a while ago but it applies here so please don't penalize me for it!!!~

Thanks!

I'm still unsure. More feedback is appreciated.

Eh, definitely sounds more textbook ISxJ than anything else, but I couldn't tell you for sure unless I knew you a lot better. Si/Ne over Ne/Si at the very least.

ISTJ seems a good fit. Have you ever considered INTJ though?

Sounds like an ISTJ to me. Procrastination is not usually an ISTJ trait, though. ISTJs usually finishes off projects before the deadline.
