^The way I see it, is that *most* people are fairly situational, and adjust accordingly, based on the nuances of things, or the specific situation/scenario. So when it comes to any test, a lot of people, if they're totally honest, may give seemingly contradictory answers, thus test oddly or end up with undetermined type.
I agree with that. There WERE some questions that I tried to answer honestly but that might seem to be contradictory.
One example: While for most of the J/P answers I am an accommodater of new information and events (i.e., P = I flex to things, I'm pathetically P), I really REALLY resent it when other people change my plans at the last minute and have a hard time with it. Why? Two reasons:
(1) I grew up in an alcoholic family where I felt constantly let down in terms of plans and doing things, or where I had all my plans decided for me by others without any concern over what I wanted, even having things changed at the last minute for me, it was disappointing and frustrating, and
(2) I'm a strategic thinker and I plan a day out in my head so that everything happens as efficiently as possible, so I'm open to changes if *I* am the one who is allowed to determine where it falls in the day, but having someone else just change my plans at the last second and thus disrupting a sensible way to organize the day's events and making ME pick up the pieces really irks me. I don't like having to deal with someone else's mess after I've come up with a much better way to do it that has not been taken into consideration.
Yet everywhere else, I'm pretty P; and if the intrusion doesn't disrupt my premade structure, I'm okay too.
I answered that question honestly based on the individual question -- basically a more J answer -- but I was annoyed because I could tell what it was testing for and I knew it didn't align with my overall P nature.
