So, SW. . . I'm coming to you because you're an expert.
What would it mean if I test INTJ and identify more with the INTJ profile, but my Ti and Ni are almost equal in strength (with my Te ranking quite a bit lower)?
I'm having an identity crisis!

So, sleeping with, sharing a life with and living with an INTJ isn't intimate? What about growing up together?
N is open. Both INTxs are open people.
J is inflexible; P is flexible (by definition, no less).
Ni is different than Ne. Ni is a conditional function based on being open and inflexible. Ne is a conditional function based on being open and flexible. It is irrelevent that Ni is dominant while Ne is secondary when the functions are different to start with.

Hmmm. I have the same sort of issue with weak extrovert traits and strong introvert traits (except for my Ne being strong).
Did you spend most of your early life having to introvert/withdraw a great deal? When people are in situations where the external world seems too overbearing or not malleable for them, they'll "go within" in order to survive and thrive. We develop functions as we need to.
(conspiratorially) If you show me your Ni, I'll show you mine."Hey Capa -- We're only stardust." ~ "Sunshine"

Keep in mind that an INTP who has been trained to be open-minded (was subjected to a lot of studies) will probably be more open-minded than an INTJ who was not.
All in all, if you give them the same resources and they are of equal talent, in the end INTJ will prove to be open-minded. If they dont, than something isnt right here... you better make sure that they really are a primary Ni...
As for the rest I cannot withhold the statement that Ti is the most analytical function and INTP is decidedly more analytical than an INTJ... and Ni the most imaginative and INTJ is decidely more imaginative than an INTP.
Keep in mind though... just because you spend a lot of time with the INTJ and have an emotional bondage with them it does not mean that they will be comfortable discussing ideas with you and still may not show you their Ni.
Yes, wasnt this the case...where you werent sure why you were testing as ESFP or ENFJ.

Nope. That's the thing, I can't tie it to any sort of life event. My childhood was normal, and I did normal kid things (mainly because my parents encouraged me to), but I've always pretty much lived inside of my own head.
I can see how some of my functions would have become more introverted in recent years, but meh. . . I've pretty much always been this way. It's annoying at times.
