A while ago I discovered an MBTI-like test that incorporates a fifth letter (A or T) into the results. From what I understand, A (assertive) means that someone is generally confident and emotionally healthy while T's (turbulents) are offbeat or emotionally unstable.
This explains why I often notice a distinction between two kinds of people within any given type. For example, I've noticed that some INFPs are quirky, bubbly, and socially confident, while others are self-doubting, selfish, awkward, and/or rude. I've noticed something similar with ENTPs; some are confident, intellectual, and innovative while others are sadistic and extreme.
I'm not trying to say that being turbulent is a bad thing or that I prefer assertive people; I'm definitely an INTP-T. In fact, the fifth letter is the only one that has been consistent in my results. I've never been typed as assertive. All my friends are turbulent, with one exception. People who score as turbulent, in my opinion, usually seem much less likely to judge others.

If you scored as turbulent: do you see yourself as awkward, shy, offbeat, or just not in sync with most people?
