I'm, like, 85% sure that I'm an NF. Except...I'm can also be calculated...
I used to be *very* F, but a lot of therapy has taught me to compensate with facts and logic and planning and *thinking*. But, I've always loved things like building stuff and structures and web programing and geometry and (some) sciences. I've also always loved arts and crafts. So, is that T or F?
My point is, my scores on the mbti tests tend to go something like this
I-54% E-46%
N-80% S-20%
F-60% T-40%
P-60% J-40%
Are we seeing where the problem is coming in? There are several personality profiles that kinda fit me, and the ENFP/INFP ones fit me the best, but still not fantastically.
So, am I some kind of mutant? Or have I simply learned to strengthen my weaker functions? I feel like, only being in my mid-twenties, such a feat of well-roundedness should be nearly impossible, like the tests must be wrong. I say that because Kirksey, in her book, says all the types should be working toward being the most even, to try to achieve a near 50% on everything, that a good personality isn't in extremes. I think...I am quite flawed, I hardly think that N should be the only one I really need to work on balancing. So, it makes me wonder if I'm taking the tests wrong, or don't know myself (maybe I'm *too* introspective and can't see the truth). Could I just be an ambivert? Am I over thinking this? Should I just accept that there's something good about me and move on?
I would very much like to find *something* some title or description or single word that I could say "oh, yeah, that's *definitely* me, but it doesn't seem like it's going to ever happen.
Responses/advice/comments are quite welcome.
