I am fairly sure of my type by now, but lately I've been wondering if there is another possibility that I am overlooking due to identifying with this type for so long. I have heard on a few occasions that I could be ENFP or INFP, and I wonder if this is more due to my name and cute avatars, or an actual expression of NFP preference.
So...
I've taken the tests about 100 times over the past 3 years.
about 92% of the time I test as INTP
about 6% of the time I test as INTJ
and about 2% of the time I test as something else.
Also, I tested as ISFP when I was 10 years old, but I do not know anything else about this.
This is my most recent functional order:
introverted Thinking (Ti) ******************************************* (43.3)
extraverted Intuiting (Ne) ***************************************** (41.3)
introverted Feeling (Fi) **************************************** (40)
extraverted Thinking (Te) ************************************ (36.4)
introverted Intuiting (Ni) ************************* (26)
introverted Sensing (Si) ******************** (20.8)
extraverted Sensing (Se) ******************** (20)
extraverted Feeling (Fe) ************ (12.4)
I think I am equal parts enneagram 4 and 5. I am obsessed with both individuality and competence. Kind of an alien analyzing the earth...
But 5w4 makes sense in that I am 7-like during stress and 8-like while strong.
Key Parts of the INTP description that I fit:
-seeking clarity in everything
-driven to build knowledge
-"absent-minded professor"
-approaching problems with enthusiasm and skepticism
-love of new ideas
-lives inside own mind
-very little value on tradition
-unconventional thought patterns
Key parts I don't fit:
-extremely bright
-problems with dressing
-unwillingness to explain things in an understandable way
Key parts of the INFP description that I fit:
-focused on making the world a better place
-idealist
-interested in understanding people
-fighting for causes
-perfectionism
-awkward with verbal expression
Key parts I don't fit:
-placing little importance on who is right and who is wrong
-not liking to deal with hard facts and logic
-disbelief in impersonal judgement
Key parts of the ENTP description that I fit:
-absorbing ideas
-resourceful
-enthusiasm for possibilities everywhere
-never finishing what is started
-love to debate issues
Key parts I don't fit:
-understanding things quickly
-excellence at conversations
-not noticing human element in decision making
Key parts of the INTJ description that I fit:
-value on competence
-driven to come to conclusions
-value on systems
-driven to explain their ideas
-ambitious
-self-confident
-remain in background until need to take the lead
Key parts I don't fit:
-quick to understand new ideas
-natural leader
-not following idea as far as possible
-not having problems with meeting goals
Key parts of the ISTP description that I fit:
-drive to understand how things work
-liking to take things apart
-adventuresome spirit
-disbelief in rules
-firm belief in equity and fairness
-overwhelmed with emotions when stressed and prone to outburts
-not wanting commitments
Key parts I don't fit:
-disinterest in theories without application
-fearlessness
-focus on the practical
-quick decisions
-good at follow through
I'm all sorts of weird stuff, but am I really so clearly more INTP than the rest, or should I consider another type/types more seriously? I can answer questions and add more info.
Thanks in advance :hi:
