I am not sure what type I am. The first time I took the mbti I came up very strongly INFP in all categories(+85%). However, at the time that I took this test I was going through a depressive episode. At the time I thought this was the perfect description of me, because I was so overwhelmed with my emotions and feelings. But after a little while, I began questioning if I was really as deep and in touch with my emotions as INFP's are.
The next time I took the test was a few weeks later. I had just started taking some antidepressants. This time I came out as INTP. Although the T/F were very borderline (basically INXP). This description sounded like me, except for the description of how cold and logical INTP's are, especially in relationships. I think I use feeling more than that.
Now, a couple days ago I took the test and I come up INFP again. However, this time both my I/E and T/F were very close. (xnxp) This made me think that I could be an ENFP so I read the descriptions for ENFP, and it probably sounds the most like me out of all the descriptions. Especially the description of ENFP relationships.
I always assumed that I was introverted because of how much talking I do with myself. But I think I figured out that is just the iNtuition talkiing to me, and that the difference between introvert and extravert is that intro likes to be alone mostly while extra doesn't like to be alone too much. And I definitely would rather be out doing something with friends than sitting by myself if I had a choice. I used to hate being alone, but now it's getting a little better (maybe because of the antidepressants?)
I am pretty sure that I am on the extraverted side, because I do truly enjoy being with people and going to parties and bars. It just matters who I am going with. If I were to stay home alone while my friends are out I would not be able to stand it. I'm pretty good with people for the most part and I get along with everyone, but I do have a tendency to be shy sometimes when it comes to meeting new people, especially girls.
I attribute this to childhood issues of insecurity and shyness. I think these issues are what causes it to be hard for me to meet new people, even though I want to. Or sometimes I might just get an idea of who the people at a bar or party are in my head and decide through intuition that I am not really interested in talking to them anyways.
I've heard that ENFP can be the most confusing type to classify as they are kind of the quiet extroverts, so that would make sense that it has taken me three or four different times to kind of figure this out. However, I am still not completely sure and would appreciate anyone else's input and advice.
Anyways, sorry if this is a little long... But if anyone has anything constructive to say that would be appreciated. For now I am just going to classify myself as XNXP.
