So I've been having this dilemma for a while of whether I'm truly an INFJ or if I'm actually INTP.
So I think I'm INFJ because:
- analysing myself by the INFJ function order just makes sense to me
- when I note that someone is similar to myself, from my perspective, they are generally INFJ or ISFJ
- certain test scores are very strongly in favour of INFJ
But I could be INTP because:
- several people have mentioned that they think I am an INTP
- I'm quite restricted in my emotional expressiveness, so the function order fits here as well
- I probably fit better into the rationalist category than the idealist
It's at that stage where I've learnt too many contradictory things, and I based too much of my understanding on ideas I've come up with myself which I could very well be delusional about.
I'll probably never know for sure, but it's important for whatever reason to know why this conflict is occurring and to resolve it. Is my self-image way off?
