Do you have a link to subtypes?

(Also, if you are referring to the "24 types of INFPs," those are not really official subtypes at all.
And the only two lists of subtypes I have ever seen have been for INTPs and INFPs.)

I think this is just about the clarity of the dichotomies, like in his case I is the most clear(clearly an introvert), F = less clear than I, P = less clear than F and N = least clear of them all. And yes they arent anything official(but hey people talk about the 8 function theory all the time, even tho its not MBTI or jungian and thus would really belong to socionics or other personality system forum), but im sure we can all agree that an INFP who answers all I/E questions to I is quite different from one that gets just bit more indicating to I than E. Assuming that they know themselves enough to answer truthfully, take the same test and the test isnt crap.

Yeah, whatever. I could have posted all that too, but my point was that the question itself is incredibly vague and doesn't specify anything to a degree of being useful so that people even know how to respond. So I was asking for more clarity, so that the conversation could be worthwhile.

If I understand correctly, the "subtype" is just re-aranging the letters in order of prominence. In that case, I am an INFP who stacks as PFNI. I suppose this could account for some of my difficulty dealing with FINPs and IFNPs. It bugs the hell out of me that everyone thinks all INFPs are shy and anxious all the time. I'm more of a "champion" than a "healer", but I am clearly more introverted than extroverted. But I will give up my alone time and peaceful moments in a heartbeat if it means doing the right thing.

FPNI probably. I kinda like this weird subtype thing. It adds a new flavor to the percentage dichotomy thing.

(Oh yes, I have a free moment, so I'm taking a break here. :)

I can barely peg my type as it is. Why y'all muthafreakahs gotta complicate it even more?

IPNT. According to this Article, I am a "Deadhead (Tolkienite) – Like long-simmering hippies, this mode may involve quiet yearning for a simpler existence, usually involving nature or anachronism." Woah. This is actually a bit more accurate than makes me comfortable. Though I am a bit too young to be planning out my future, I do have an interest in living a minimalistic life isolated from the outside world where I don't need to work to live. I also am in love with nature, as it feels more comfortable to me than civilization. I can also relate to wanting to live a life of "anachronism", as I've always desired to have my theoretical house be a medieval castle without any modern influence to taint the atmosphere of such a majestic dwelling~ I've also had desires to live life as a Mongolian nomad, a Native American... really anything but the modern day style of living.
