I don't see myself as a likely INTJ anymore, but I think INFJ is just as unlikely because my Feeling is so obviously directed inward. Count how many times I use "I" in a post.
Yes, I do use Fe-like arguments occasionally (i.e. individuals must be prepared to make a sacrifice for the greater good), but I don't feel emotionally connected to this worldview, nor would I take it as far as a strong Fe user might and allow the ends to justify the means.
Imagine your stock xxFJ - they are hypersensitive to the states of others, whether real or imagined. They react to any offence as if it was their own, and to avoid stress must impose harmony in their environment. To me, authenticity is more important than popularity. INTJs, the Te/Fi users that they are, tend to share this view, but INFJs do not.
Also, you probably notice that I don't express empathy for others very often. This isn't because I don't care, but because I have to imagine the emotions/experiences they experienced myself before I can understand. While this is something I am good at, it can take a little while.
I think my personality is a little hard to accommodate, probably because of how people generally imagine an INFP male will express themselves (I think the stereotype would be Marius from Les Miserables). I just have so much more energy, more aggression.
