X in type code means that the letter is unknown, not that the person is some "hybrid", that doesent exist its just that some people might be harder to type than others.
Actually, empirically speaking preferences appear to fall upon a bell curve, and it's entirely possible for preferences to be close to middle. So a middling preference (an "x") can occur anywhere, even the on the P/J axis.
I realize that's contra traditional MBTI (and Jungian) theory, but there's no actual evidence for type dynamics, including that introverted IPs are Ji-doms, or that extraverted IPs are Pe-doms.
Also, even on the MBTI Step II it's possible to be "out of preference" on the various sub-scales... so there can be a lot of sub-scale variation on people of the same type.
Meanwhile, carry on as far as describing traditional type dynamics.
