I'v been recently questioning my type again, but not really sure I want to fill out a pre-made questionnaire. I'll just try to elaborate on a few central questions.
Fi vs Fe
Many people that have typed me see Fe as opposed to Fi. I guess how I tend to differentiate the two is that the former goes off of the immediate beliefs in their environment, whereas the latter is more "authentic" and personalized. So it's for this reason I tend to think I have more Fi than Fe.
Ti vs Te
Another function people seem to perceive in me to some extent is Ti, but they don't always specify its place in the stack. I do try and look for consistency and patterns, but it's not something that I've internalized as part of my identity. I don't think I lead with either thinking function, instead relying on intuition or some intuition seeming function.
Ne vs Ni
Ne seems a better fit than Ni. I've come to this recent conclusion, even though I'm likely to challenge it later, because I do tend to switch interests/perceptions of myself a lot. I'm not very organized in day to day life. I try to be, but often find myself getting frustrated when I drop plans or they don't materialize in some way. My academic interests seem to shift quite a bit, and I find there's not much I can do about it.
Extrovert vs. Introvert
I find that I crave positive interactions with people, and typically feel better when I have them, but since I'm trying a different career path that is a bit isolating, I find myself a bit depressed lol. I try to be supportive of other people, maybe getting irritated with them when they don't take my advice. I've learned not to do this so much, but yeah it'd a tendency I have to actively suppress.
I'm a bit of a "class clown" when socializing, and if for some reason I'm not doing this, it's because I've learned it's off putting in certain contexts. So yeah, joking/supporting other people is my main mode when I'm around other people.
So, let me know what you think! I realize it's not a ton of information. Honestly, I have a hard time talking about myself and tend to focus on other people.
