Oh, doubts appearing! Yesterday, I was reading about the differences between INFJ and INFP and I have to admit that I was a suprised when I saw the characteristics of INFP, it fitted better in my personality...
Mbti is actually more of a best fit personality categorisation system than one that accurately measures function usage (contrary to what a lot of people think) so if you identify most with infp this is fairly significant.
Sometimes I've tested as INFP, and sometimes as INFJ... In the function analisys my Fi an Ne was the highest scores (Fi>Ne), and my Fe was very weak...
This strongly suggests infp again. What about Te then? It's possible that the high J tendency comes from well developed Te rather than Fe. Ne being higher than Ni fits best with infp as well; if your two
highest functions are Ne and Fi that's actually pretty conclusive - you fit the infp paradigm exactly, as these are meant to be the strongest functions! INFJ ought if well developed to have a strong Fe, but even if the Fe is not well developed, Ni should nonetheless be very high as it's meant to be the dominant function.
I have a very good Si too (appeared in the test), a sharp and romantically nostalgic memory and connection with my past. Maybe, I used to score as J because of my family (all xSxJ!!!) that maybe can make some influence, but I can see strong P tendencies in me, what always cause many fights between I and my ISFJ mother... What do you think about it? Am I an INFP?
Not too surprising. INFPs tend to internalise the expectations of others a lot -it may not change their underlying personalities that much, but it will affect the way they think they ought to be. It might be helpful to decide whether you naturally do tend to act in a very J way, or whether you simply place the expectation on yourself that you
should, and put a lot of work into trying to follow through with it. If the latter is the case, INFP.
Remember, though, that knowing your mbti type is a useful guide to your overall personality traits, but may not tell you so much about your unique strengths and weaknesses as an individual. It's useful as a model to increase your understanding of why you do what you do, but dangerous to let yourself be led by it.
