Well, I made a post in the video challenge thread in the lounge.
Some have said right off the bat that I'm ISTP based on the videos, which makes me feel, well, depressed, not that I'm not already depressive.
But I had re-identified myself as NF not too long back, and I was feeling good about it. However, "N" has never been in question with me, though I have to use "S" in my job and while driving, etc.

Further, I've been having a debate on an INTP forum. A dude there says that only true "genetic" Fi types exprience Fi, and that if you're INTP, you experience Ti Fe, but NEVER "true" Fi. Likewise an INFP would experience Fi Te, but NEVER "true" Ti.
---
These two debates have created a great deal of turmoil, where I feel like withdrawing from forums and perhaps life itself, or at least becoming a hermit. But meanwhile, I've not given up the fight, and writing like this is how I wage war. I discuss like I'm doing right now.
I guess, I'm inviting help, not just for me personally in regard to the NF issue, but in general. It seems many of the questions are subjective, so how do they know? Also, I tested so close to the center originally that it seems I could sway based on whether I chose compassionate heart or impersonal mind in a specific case.
Thus, if it seems to be the case, then how can one tell between Fe and Fi? How can one determine between Ti and Te? If you are NF, do you believe you experience Ti? Don't people experience all the functions? Can you (or I) be NF or NT for one day? Also I believe I'm doing lots of experiments right now, like visiting my childhood memories armed with my current mystical powers. Isn't this NF within the context of Si? What is THAT?
Secretly, I want validation. But failing this, I want help.
