So the website typed me as an INTP with a temperament of improviser. Can someone tell me what Jungian theories have to say about how my functions interact with each other? Also what does negative value mean? Thanks.

Type isn't relative "strengths" (at least not of all eight). Type is the dominant and auxiliary, and what really sets the place of the functions are "ego states" they associate with (this is explained in the wiki). If the ego state associated with Fi for an NTP is activated a lot, then the function may come out "strong", or seem "used" a lot, and you also have to keep in mind that the function definitions that tests operate off of aren't perfect. Fi often gets scored to high, because everyone can do stuff like "evaluate what's important to them". (Also, people's inferior often is the actual "weakest" on this test, even though in the normal stack, it's #4).

Never seen it do negative numbers before.

Not sure exactly why it sometimes assigns non-fitting temperaments. Probably because of the high Se score, but then I don't know why that would be presumed to trump the higher Ti and Ne.
