I'm confused by these test results. Can you help me?

Hello,my friend. I have taken 8 cognitive function test four times, but the results seem to conflict with each other. Here are the four charts:

It is obvious that my four functions are Fi Ni Ne Ti,but they could not fit for any cognitive sequence of 16 types. Which one is most likely to be my leading function?Am I an INFP?INTP?INTJ?ENFP? I was typed as INFP in standard MBTI test, however I think the general descriptions of INFPs do not fit me well.

I also tried other tests, such as MBTI-M (INTP), MBTI-G (no full version, INFJ), KTS (twice, both INTJ), Enneagram (twice, 5w4 & 4w5), which might be useful for you to help me indicate my type.

Finally I must apologise for my confusing expression(English is not my native language, sorry) and appreciate your attention. Thank you!

Results tend to change because of mood and the days events. Try totaling them up and see how that works. It looks like Fi is the highest on average. I think overall the results point to infp. But results are just an indicator.

It is exactly as you said. In fact I tend to believe that I'm an INFP, but I always feel different amongest other INFPs. Their complaint and self-fit make me unease and boring, though their melancholy is sometimes attractive to me. What's more,some of them are stubborn (luckily,or unluckily,they are patient——that make things worse!), insist that cognitive sequence is unalterable just as personality type is unchangable when I assume that I'm an “untypical” INFP. Whether cognitive sequences of MBTI is reliable haunt me, and I want to find some evidence to prove or deny it.
PS. After having communicated with an INFJ and typed as INJ——INFJ/INTJ,I realised another possible explanation. He pointed out that someone might ignore the development of their secondary function and develop their third function as replacement for the “loss” function. In my case, the sequence looks like this:Ni (Te) Fi Se (INTJ), or Ni (Fe) Ti Se (INFJ) . He also suggested me try to develop Te or Fe——depends on which one is more likely to satisfy me. It sounds reasonable, but how to explain the high bar of Ne in my charts?
Thanks again for your concern.
