It's a mystery! :chicken:
I'll just type out my thoughts here.

I consider myself a thinker. I like to analyze data and categorize it, make lists and generally get a feel for how the data applies to existing theories and ideas and form new ones based off of that. A good example of this is how I take the existing parameters in a program like ImageMagick, create impulse response graphs for the various filters and then compare them to see which one is best in an ideal situation.
FYI, I'm absolutely an ENFP, and my hobbies include very serious Linuxing, microcontroller development and I'm a computer programmer by trade. Don't rule it out.
I just need a definitive answer, it's driving me crazy. anic:
Maybe I've been over thinking it, maybe ENFP is right for me. I relate a lot with ENFPs and I think maybe I shouldn't have questioned my original score so much.
"Finally?" You've been here for like a couple weeks. It took TypoC years to assign me a type.

I'm not entirely sure about whether I'm introverted or extraverted. On one hand I have a tendency to want to stay inside and keep to myself, spending all my time reading about different things and using the computer, on the other hand I enjoy time spending with friends and family. I wouldn't necessarily say being in social situations drains me, I think it depends on the type of people I'm around. I do notice I prefer to create close relationships with a few people than have a wide circle of acquaintances.

As far as sensing and intuition, I'm not entirely one hundred percent on the definitions of these. From what I gather intuition is possibilities and sensing is experiences, but I'm not sure whether those are directed inward or outward for me. When I think of possibilities, I like to take an existing theory (such as MBTI for example) and see how I take it and apply my own ideas to it, in other words: what is possible with this pre-existing idea?. I'd say I enjoy experiencing things in the moment, but I also do a lot of reflecting on past experiences.

Feeling is a tough one, because although I can be somewhat selfish and uncaring, I also can be very empathetic and compassionate. Generally when I'm in a state of recluse I'm more prone to selfishness, but when I have an urge to be around others or in a social setting I lean more towards empathy and compassion. I'd say I'm generally more empathetic than I am uncaring.
My guess based on your type-me video and this thread: ISTJ.
I got an istj vibe myself, from first speaking with you on vent actually. Could be wrong.

Hmm this is a point. One that ive seen before, but also one which needs reiterating from time to time.I'm leaning towards "hasn't yet quite fully developed as a person so it's not clear yet," which is why all these disparate types seem plausible to you. You've gone from ENFP to ESFP to ENTP to INTJ to ISTJ (with maybe a few other stopoffs in between) all in a matter of a few weeks. I think you're just discovering who you are as an adult. It's worth mentioning that the human brain is not fully developed until the age of 25, so someone's personality might not really "set" until then.
I'd also go with "personality type is a fundamentally flawed/incomplete concept and you cannot ask it to fully define you" for 1000, Alex.
I stopped caring about this Myers-Briggs and Enneagram stuff, since I now know it's not useful for how I intended to use it I don't really need it anymore. I'd rather just be a person instead of trying to fit myself into a system that attempts to stereotype seven billion people.
Nico is rather amazing, so if you cannot trust your own judgement, trust his.
*makes up for all those times she mistypes movie characters as INTJs to Nico's abject horror*
