I've been typed as so many things, it's disconcerting. Anyway, I thought I'd fill out a completely different questionnaire; just to be fresh, y'know.

1) What aspect of your personality made you unsure of your type?
Everything. I don't know a whole lot about myself. It doesn't help that I'm only 15, mind.

2) What do you yearn for in life? Why?
To be good at something! Ideally, I want to create something new, or revolutionize something. I want a happy, creative, exciting life, and I want to be able to travel and do things and talk to different people...and just learn all I can.

3) Think about a time where you felt like you were at your finest. Tell us what made you feel that way.
When I realised that the world is a great bundle of opportunities; and when I learned to realise that good days and bad days must be truly embraced to live life happily; and that there is no God to impress if I want an afterlife - the fact that I'm living now and will not exist in this form some day, and that I (and we) may be a part of something bigger than we can imagine truly excites me. (I stopped believing in the Christian God when I was 11. It's hard when you're brought up religiously and attend a Catholic school)

4) What makes you feel inferior?
When I can't do something, especially if I really like it, eg maths. I love maths, but am slower and less able than every one else in my class, and it frustrates me. Also, sometimes I can't communicate my point across, and sometimes I just don't know what to say to people. I wouldn't say it makes me feel inferior - as I know everyone ultimately has their own strengths and weaknesses - but I feel frustrated in myself, and disappointed that I'm possibly not reaching my full potential.

5) What tends to weigh on your decisions? (Do you think about people, pro-cons, how you feel about it, etc.)
Pros and cons, all the time. I try to do the right thing, and the thing that makes the most sense - regardless of everyone's feelings. However, I feel like I do have a sense of morality, that I usually follow when making decisions.

6) When working on a project what is normally your emphasis? Do you like to have control of the outcome?
If no one else will be the team leader, then I will: but it's not my favourite position. I'm not too bothered about control of anything - only that people can get their ideas and thoughts flowing and the best possible general outcome is achieved.

7) Describe us a time where you had a lot of fun. How is your memory of it?
Last year, on holiday with my friends. We went to France for a week. We got to go all over the countryside, and explore different places. I loved going to all of the different market towns and watching how the French lived their life. It also gave me a chance to learn more about the way of life; the country's history; hell, even how they farmed their cows (the grassfed milk was delicious) and the fact that I was with my friends, but if I wanted to I could just go and sit by the lake and think and soak everything up. No responsibilities, no expectations...just relaxation, fun, friends, and new experiences and knowledge.

8) When you want to learn something new, what feels more natural for you? (Are you more prone to be hands on, to theorize, to memorize, etc)
To theorize - to see how I can apply my knowledge to the task at hand; and it may even give me a chance to change my way of thinking or reframe my current knowledge and ideas.

9) How organized do you to think of yourself as?
Quite disorganised. Organisation does not come naturally to me, at all. I prefer to just go with the flowww.

10) How do you judge new ideas? You try to understand the principles behind it to see if they make sense or do you look for information that supports it?
I think I try to understand the principles behind it first, as I like new ideas and how they can be implemented.

11) You find harmony by making sure everyone is doing fine and belonging to a given group or by making sure that you follow what you believe and being yourself?
I prefer following what I believe and being myself. I don't care much for putting people into boxes.

12) Are you the kind that thinks before speaking or do you speak before thinking? Do you prefer one-on-one communication or group discussions?
I think before speaking most of the time, and I like to have the general idea formed in my head before I throw it out there. Sometimes, I just talk as I think, particularly when I'm talking to friends. And I like both one-on-one communication and group discussions. Both have their merits.

13) Do you jump into action right away or do you like to know where are you jumping before leaping? Does action speaks more than words?
Actions don't always speak more than words in the same way that words don't speak more than actions. However, I often prefer to know what I'm getting myself into before I do it. Sometimes, I do think you have to just take the leap and go with it to get the best out of an experience, though.

14) It's Saturday. You're at home, and your favorite show is about to start. Your friends call you for a night out. What will you do?
I record my favourite show, as I can watch it anytime, but I may miss something interesting if I don't see my friends. Besides, I value my friends more than a TV show.

15) How do you act when you're stressed out?
More emotional than I'd like to admit :p less patient, probably a little more snappy, lose sense of humour...but inside I'd be dying even more, trying to control my external side.

16) What makes you dislike the personalities of some people?
I don't like it when people think they're better than everyone else - like their superior knowledge must not be shared amongst mere mortals. I dislike narcissism, too. Also, any form of prejudice just irritates me...or things that people call human nature that are really just social conditioning...or when some people are ungrateful and spoiled...

17) Is there anything you really like talking about with other people?
Philosophy is quite fun to talk about. I also like discussing books, movies, games, people's thoughts and feelings, and science...i dunno. I like to talk about most things :3

18) What kind of things do pay the least attention to in your life?
Probably unnecessary negativity. Draining, and you get nothing out of it. Also, the irrational worries of some people (aka, some teenagers in my school) that could be solved with a little bit of realisation...

19) How do your friends perceive you? What is wrong about their perception? ? What would your friends never say about your personality?
My friends think I'm silly, clumsy, funny, and smart? They think it's endearing when I go off into little rants about nothing "here she goes again..." and apparently I can be quite wise. I'm not sure what's wrong with their perception (I don't have an ego!) except I don't think I'm all too smart or wise? I feel like we're all equally good in some areas, and our general levels of overall intelligence and perception are reasonably good. I'm not all that wise, but I suppose I can get some good insights, but I'm sure they can, too. They just don't spend as much time reading etc as I do, so they won't have the knowledge out of the books I've read. Which is fine: we all have our interests, and they're way better at sport etc as I am. I'm just saying - they say I'm good at essays and writing like it's something they'll never be. 1) I'm not even that good, and 2) they could be too, if they just practised and tried, in the same way I'd be good if I worked hard enough at sport.

As for something they'd never say...I'm not sure. Impatient? Sometimes too idealistic? Sometimes seek validation? Get frustrated when I can't change things?

20) You got a whole day to do whatever you like. What kind of activities do you feel like doing?
Go into town, get some coffee, go to a posh restaurant just because I've never been there before, spend way too long in the library, try to paint something, try to improve on my story, maybe see some friends...I dunno, endless things to do.

ENFP. Your questions showed each function they have, except for inferior Si. Judging from this, it would be more along the lines of inferior Te. So just to make sure which it is, what are you like under prolonged stress? What activities do you engage in, what are you like internally, and how do you behave around other people?

The last time I was under stress for a long time was when my dad had cancer. I was only 11, but I became unhealthily introverted. I spent way too much time by myself, and wouldn't let anyone see what I was really feeling like. When I was by myself, I'd have the occasional emotional outburst, and hid away in books and my own dream world, as a way of coping.

Now, I generally just become more reserved and unemotional outwardly, but slowly dying on the inside :p

The activities I engage in are: socialising, reading, analysing and examining artwork (I sound pretentious as hell there) writing, drawing, and painting. But I pick up new things to do all the time. I've had a lot of hobbies and I become interested in new things all the time. At the minute it's nutrition and psychology.

Inwardly, I'm OK at the moment. I feel quite level, calm, and relaxed most of the time: it's essential for me to be internally settled. If I'm not, I need to fix it immediately. I value inner peace highly.

Around new people, I'm awkward and a little shy, until I can warm up to them. I'm not immediately outgoing and talkative. Around my friends, I say and do whatever, but I don't often show my negative feelings or my (highly) insecure side.

I would help you for free if only I was more confident in typing other people. However I would agree with ENFP.

The answers given in the OP mostly come off as introverted. Valuing friends is feeling. Disorganized lifestyle is perceiving. Looking at the principles behind a new topic is intuition.

INFP.

"I often prefer to know what I'm getting myself into before I do it." That's introversion. You also say sometimes doing just the opposite is a good idea, and I'm curious to know when that is.

"More emotional than I'd like to admit :p less patient, probably a little more snappy, lose sense of humour...but inside I'd be dying even more, trying to control my external side." This is an INFP statement overall.

http://psychology.about.com/od/trait-theories-personality/f/introversion.htm
Introversion is one of the major personality traits identified in many theories of personality. People who are introverted tend to be inward turning, or focused more on internal thoughts, feelings and moods rather than seeking out external stimulation. Introversion is generally viewed as existing as part of a continuum along with extraversion. Introversion indicates one end of the scale, while extraversion represents the other end.

The terms introversion and extraversion were popularized through the work of Carl Jung and later became central parts of other prominent theories including the big 5 theory of personality. The introversion-extraversion dimension is also one of the four areas identified by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). According to many theories of personality, everyone has some degree of both introversion and extraversion. However, people often tend to lean one way or the other.

Introverts tend to be more quiet, reserved and introspective. Unlike extraverts who gain energy from social interaction, introverts have to expend energy in social situations. After attending a party or spending time in a large group of people, introverts often feel a need to "recharge" by spending a period of time alone.​

You probably feel energized around your friends, but that is an INFP trait.

Sometimes I think there are situations where you have to go in, no outside information or connotations, to truly get the best out of it. Hypothetically, of course: it's a preference for me to be knowledgeable about my situation but not necessary; and I can see where it wouldn't be relative.

I've heard many ENFPs get mistyped as INFPs because of the pure nature of their type?

Hmm, I'm not sure. Probably xNFP though...

To get the best what out of it?

The energy you put into the world vs. the energy you put into your thinking/feeling processes is relative. I put a great deal of energy into thinking. But at the same time, thinking energizes me when I generate good ideas. I would prefer to work on a thinking project until it's completed, without taking a break away from it.

A Te is just the opposite. Te prefers to work, working brings the Te energy, and Te types like to work a task until it is finished without taking a break. And even when a project is finished, I have seen Te immediately look for yet another project to start. The day of a Te type is filled with external activity; the day of a Ti type is filled with internal activity.

A similar description can be made of Fe and Fi.

A new experience that I may have gained without any outside information - so, at first (because I'd inevitably look further into it) it's my own thoughts and opinions on it.

I can definitely relate to Fi...unbelievable amounts.

I try to do the right thing, and the thing that makes the most sense - regardless of everyone's feelings. However, I feel like I do have a sense of morality, that I usually follow when making decisions
This signifies the Feeling is the third functions.

ENTP, but unhealthy. Try reading ENTP in the MBTI. Ask yourself a question: does the description suits you?
You should pursue your dream
To theorize - to see how I can apply my knowledge to the task at hand; and it may even give me a chance to change my way of thinking or reframe my current knowledge and ideas
It is an engineer pursuit to apply scientific knowledge to help solving human practical problem by inventing a device. A scientist only tell and teaches us that fire can burn, but engineer think how to use a fire for practical purpose like cooking. So, they have invented a stove, a device by which we can ignites fire and designed as such that we can put another device like pan on it, on which we put ingredients to cook. A stove has been evolving from of woods burnt rounded with stones to now, coal stove, a kerosene stove, an electrical stove, a Liquefied Petroleum Gas stove. They sell the device, e.g stove and get rich. Does it sound like your dream?
One The best ENTP that I have found is Zuckenberg, IT developer, founder of Facebook.
