I don't know about the "box" thing, but you are probably right. I think I am an INFJ.
INJs and INPs both hate thinking in narrow-minded categories, but they have different perspectives on that matter. INPs are “tool users”, they use systems of thinking to help them organize their perceptions. These systems get compared with the INP`s experiences and observations. As more and more information comes in, their understanding grows.
INPs want to go beyond rigid systems and categories and explore their manifestations, whereas INJs are fixated on these categories themselves and their limitations. They want to know what the categories imply and which interest they serve.
Your remarks showed a fixation on the box. Also you seem to have the word-oriented approach of INJs and no gestalt-oriented approach which would point to INP. An INP wouldn`t mind that much about too small categories but make adjustment as he or she goes along. Maybe you have a good amount of tertiary Ti which would fit with wanting to define categories as exactly and all-embracing as possible.
I don't know. When I stop thinking and analysing, I just knew it.
I weeped when I read the Ocean-Moonshine site for Type 4 description.
It was all about me. I do not feel the same when I read the Type 5 description...
Your thinking of yourself as Four was kind of obvious, but why did you say that the enneagram has no type for you? I was wondering because I don`t know if the word-oriented style of INJs makes it a bit hard for you to get the types or if someone told you that you are not a Four, because of some non-fitting “requirement“.
I don`t quite get your pattern yet, but I`m disagreeing with a few things the little furred pet wrote. There`s nothing which contradicts Four in my opinion, though I was thinking about you being a 4w3, not 4w5. Five as main type seems to be unlikely.
