I am fairly new to MBTI and find I come across an ambiguity.
This is the ambiguity every time I take a test that splits into components:
your dominant function is Thinking and is clearly introverted
your auxiliary (second most important) is iNtuition and is clearly introverted
your tertiary (third) is Sensation and is clearly introverted
your inferior (fourth) is Feeling and is clearly introverted
Type Dynamic Scores
Ti 29
Ni 25
Si 22
Fi 18
Ne 17
Te 13
Se 10
Fe 6
So, letters spell INTP, order of functions correlates with INTP, yet it seems to lack extraversion. I know I am highly introverted anyway, but my point is that this is an example of theory not working. I realise that personality theory is not mathematics, and that theories are based on general trends, so one counter example does not dispel the theory, I would, however, like to have some thoughts on the why and how from some other people…
(note dots, indicating open ending)
(It could also be that this particular test is simply invalid.)

Thanking you.
