*BUMP*
I know I haven't been on here in a while, and when I was here, I was only here for a few days, as after a few days of this website failing to come up I gave up and kinda forgot about it, but it came to my mind recently and I went back to it to find it working again and now I think I may want to start posting again because I still haven't gotten to the bottom of my case. But I've down some introspection recently, as I tend to do, but I'm still having trouble figuring out my type. I don't know my true function preference order or even my dominant function, but I do know a few things that I know I'm not like to help the process.
So I've decided I'm definitely not Ne, Se, or Te dom., and most likely not Fe dom. (if you think or know I am, please let me know and tell me why), so that eliminates: ENFP, ENTP, ESFP, ESTP, ESTJ, ENTJ, and most likely ESFJ and ENFJ.
I also like to think that my T and F functions are fairly more balanced than my S and N functions (again, please let me know if this is not the case and tell me why), and therefore they are more likely to be my auxillary and tertiary functions, in no order (so either Fi-Te/Te-Fi or Fe-Ti/Ti-Fe). So that would mean that: ISFP, INFP, ISTP, and INTP are eliminated. That leaves: ISFJ, INFJ, ISTJ, and INTJ.
But here's my problem: I don't know my true function preference other than I think I don't have strong Ne or Se, but I could be wrong (let me know if this is not the case). I don't know whether I use Ni or Si (since the only functions I relate to enough are Fe, Fi, and Ti), and I don't know whether I use Fe-Ti/Ti-Fe or Te-Fi/Fi-Te.
I've considered that I also might be caught in a dom.-ter. loop that's introverted. I gave one of my two closest friends four loop descriptions to look at (Ni-Ti/Ti-Ni, Ti-Si/Si-Ti, Fi-Ni/Ni-Fi, Fi-Si/Si-Fi), and he said that, while none of them are that much accurate, the Si-Ti/Ti-Si loop was most like me with the Si-Fi/Fi-Si loop in second, the Ni-Fi/Fi-Ni loop in third, and Ni-Ti/Ti-Ni loop in fourth.
But, since I am having no luck figuring out my type on my own (as I am known for having dependency issues), I'll just list some things I do or about me to give you all a feel for how I am that I haven't said in my OP:
- People close to me (namely my closer friends) say I strike them as having strong Si, and while that may be true in some aspects (for example, I am uncomfortable putting myself in an unfamiliar position (though it's not because I think a previous way of doing things is more efficient or that I'm skeptical that something new and different will work just as good or better or some shit like that, but because I am VERY unsure of myself) and it's hard for me to do things on the spot without some premeditation, especially with writing stuff, including this), but I don't relate to the whole (and it's hard for me to put into words, as I frequently have trouble articulating myself, so please forgive me) keeping traditional values, keeping things the way they always have been, and the conventionality. I'm rather unconventional, actually, and have my own personal values and beliefs (that I think it would be good that the rest of the world adopted) that mainly just takes into account logically that humans are flawed beings by nature and for that reason shouldn't be chastised for it (those who are really doing bad by society's standards need to be helped) and that things aren't black and white.
- While what I just said may indicate Fi, I do relate a lot to Fe because I'm always worried about hurting peoples feelings (as I am a people-oriented person) and the only time that I do something that might hurt someone's feelings is when someone has an unethical opinion of some sort that disregards someone or some people in some way and I argue why the opinion/view is faulty to get them to realize that what they are thinking is unprincipled (again, it's hard to put into words) and so they don't hurt someone or some people if they put whatever that opinion is into practice, and if I do hurt their feelings, I feel bad (as I do any other time I hurt someone's feelings). It's almost as if Fe and Fi are working together.
- This is a strange one, as I am shy for people (as I get) who are either being the center of attention to more than three people while looking ridiculous or extravert themselves a lot in a way that most others would make fun of (at least in their head), but that's probably because I know how judgmental people can be and I feel sorry for them that they are being unfairly judged.
-As I said in my OP, I'm scatter-brained, as I have tons of thoughts running through my head (plus, I was diagnosed with A.D.H.D. as a kid), but I've noticed (and this has become especially and increasingly apparent in the last few months, which is odd since I never use to do it before) that with any significant thought that I want and can put into action, I try to "save" in my head for later so it can come to fruition and over a bit of time, I develop a stack of things, and I usually forget a thing or two, which sometimes upsets me. I also do this in the form of writing, only it's a little different because the thoughts I want to put into writing come in short, indefinite "flashes" of wording and/or phrasing that sometimes takes a few minutes at a time to think of how it's put together and usage of the thesaurus because sometimes there are single words in these "flashes" that are hard for me to put my finger on but I know the meaning of it. It's really hard to explain. I suppose I'm just so uncreative that my mind has to search for bits to text to put together that I have seen before (wait, that's Si, isn't it?...).
Do you see any glaring signs of a certain function or functions in use or even a particular type? If this is not enough, refer to my OP.
