Far as I understand it unhealthy simply means that said function is working in a way that isn't mentally healthy, that isn't "together" so to speak.

Erm, no, no it isn't. T functions are just outright uncomfortable in the F field and don't approach morality with a ten-foot pole. T types generally examine moral situations either from a logical perspective, or using their F functions. There's nothing about being an F on the other hand, that'll make one not be rigid and inflexible -- unhealthy Fi types in particular can be inflexible and overreactive about their own values, which is the case here. Fe's tend to be intransigent and idealistic about ends-focused approaches that might hurt someone.

Aleksei, do you think this F could not be expert in F field? So the type has N-T-F-S functions, i.e. xNTx.
You should remember it was story about xNFx and if we asked a story about T then it would be expert T story.

Yes I do. Feeling is subjective, and Fi in particular relates to its own feelings and experience, and no one else's -- it's perfectly possible you're identifying flexibility in your own values and assuming every Feeler is morally flexible. ;)

Oh, I'm confused again...
But not to open another topic, I want more guesses...

I'll add/modify some information that I perceived about me:

-I'm not shy, I'm just quiet when people around me isn't interesting.
-I'm somewhat mysterious, not very.
-I like having fun with friends, joking, laughing... I'm a clown.
-I'm a "Jane of all trades". But I have difficulties finishing what I start.

Any thoughts? Help me! Please...

I have a hard time figuring out my type too, and I think it's because I test INFJ when it's simply the four categories being tested, but my functions are obviously more NFP.

I think it's possible I'm just a quieter/more borderline eNFP...but I'm not passive enough to be INFP, I can be quite aggressive, and I think that possibly it's my tert Te (tertiary temptation?) that makes me think I'm a J.

Because INFJ doesn't really fit me in terms of function theory/MBTI (though it works much better for Socionics INFj), although I think I'm a Keirsey INFJ.

I feel your pain, really. You might just be low extraversion, high Te ENFP.

Oh, I relate to many things you said!
The first time I tested (I was 14, and kinda depressed) I tested INFJ too...
But now, I can't relate with many things of the INFJ profile today (only some of them) . And I'm too agressive too... what isn't an INFP characteristic.
Your guess is very valid, makes sense...! ;)

Based on the OP, I would say INFP is fairly obvious.

I took the cognitive processes test...

Cognitive Process Level of Development (Preference, Skill and Frequency of Use)
extraverted Sensing (Se) *********************** (23)
limited use
introverted Sensing (Si) ***************** (17.9)
limited use
extraverted Intuiting (Ne) ******************************************* (43.4)
excellent use
introverted Intuiting (Ni) *********************************** (35.2)
good use
extraverted Thinking (Te) ************************* (25.8)
average use
introverted Thinking (Ti) **************************** (28.2)
average use
extraverted Feeling (Fe) *************************** (27.3)
average use
introverted Feeling (Fi) *************************************** (39.2)
excellent use

Summary Analysis of Profile
By focusing on the strongest configuration of cognitive processes, your pattern of responses most closely matches individuals of this type: ENFP
