Summary Analysis of Profile
By focusing on the strongest configuration of cognitive processes, your pattern of responses most closely matches individuals of this type: INTP
Lead (Dominant) Process
Introverted Thinking (Ti): Gaining leverage (influence) using a framework. Detaching to study a situation from different angles and fit it to a theory, framework or principle. Checking for accuracy. Using leverage to solve the problem.
Support (Auxilliary) Process
Extraverted Intuiting (Ne): Exploring the emerging patterns. Wondering about patterns of interaction across various situations. Checking what hypotheses and meanings fit best. Trusting what emerges as you shift a situation’s dynamics.
If these cognitive processes don't fit well then consider these types: ENTP, or INFP
Uhhh why is it suggesting INP before ENP first off? My Ne is higher than either Ji function.
By the way I'm 20 years old so ... my functional development is probably very abnormal if it fits that test, so I'm guessing the test is wrong.
And of course, I know this doesn't fit ISFP, but I think the test confuses Ne and Se. As I was doing the test, I copied some of the questions and explained my results...
Suspected Se questions, but not sure:
1. Freely follow your gut instincts and exciting physical impulses as they come up. --I have to admit that I have absolutely no idea what a physical impulse is. I don't think I have them, so I put "not me"
15. Enjoy the thrill of action and physical experience in the present moment. --I don't pay attention to the present moment. My head is not in the present moment. If something interesting is happening then yes, I enjoy it, but I don't consider that a "physical experience", it's more like a mental experience and not very action oriented. I have this issue with SP descriptions. I am not action oriented. I put "little me"
24. Quickly move to take advantage of immediate options for action. --That would require me to first notice "immediate options for action", which I don't do, because I am seldom in the present moment. (This is my biggest issue with SP descriptions) "little me"
29. Instantly read visible cues to see just how far you can go. --LOL I do this "mostly me". I like to push people's buttons.
38. Spur action and pull off results simply by making your presence felt. --"not me", but I wish it were, this sounds effective.
48. Easily get in sync physically with people and things around you. --This could also be Fe but the "things" part makes me think Se, in any case I suck at this so I'm putting "little me"
23. Engage life's magical moments and meaningful coincidences as they happen. --I put "mostly me"
37. Weave into the current dynamics of a situation aspects of other, random contexts. --"exactly me", sounds kind of in the moment but also partially out of it to think of the "random contexts", which seems to fit me well
Suspected Ne questions, but not sure:
2. Offer various unrelated ideas and see what potential they might suggest. --This is my primary problem solving method, or discussion method, pretty much relating things that other people think are unrelated (nothing is really unrelated, I think I can stretch any two things into one, this is why I used to make such rambly blog posts, my "point" would keep changing until I couldn't find it anymore), and then if/when the other person reciprocates by doing the same, it spirals out of control lol. It is refreshing to find someone else who does this type of thing, most people seem to be Si users in this world (there are a lot of SJs. not surprising) which stunts this type of thinking. Topics change fast. I'd say we don't even have topics! Especially with NFPs. I like NFPs. Then again my dad's an ENFP so growing up around him, I might have adopted this way of thinking despite it being not my natural way. Still, I put "exactly me".
16. Enjoy playing with random interconnections and patterns. --same as above, "mostly me"
30. Keep following tangents and new ideas without limiting yourself to one. --same again
47. Trust what emerges from brainstorming. --same once again. I suppose this is in contrast to distrusting speculation and trusting things that are "tried and true" like Si does?
I don't know what the hell these are, but I relate to them:
20. Concisely reference multiple frameworks at once while problem solving. --I think this is Ti? Si? I do this, whatever it is, just not that much. "somewhat me"
18. Conceive of a comprehensive plan to maximize progress toward multiple goals at once. --I do this to avoid closing any doors, I don't know if this is Ji or Pe or which function though.
Suspected Fi questions, but not sure:
8. Feel strongly that something is good or bad. --I see both sides too easily to do that, I have to debate with myself for a while before I decide which is bad/good and even then it's not "strong" and it's not a feeling.
19. Freely enjoy doing what you want for your own personal happiness. --I bet this is supposed to be Fi, and I put "mostly me", but I don't know who wouldn't relate to this!
21. Gain a profound realization from a mystical state or sudden release of emotions. --I don't suddenly release emotions. I am not a volcano, thanks. "not me"
25. Always remain true to what you want for yourself or others. --yes. "mostly me"
36. Evaluate what is worth believing in and most important to who you really are inside. --"mostly me"
43. Continually examine if choices harmonize with important beliefs. --"somewhat me"... I think this is called reflective equilibrium between theory and practice, which I like to maintain, yes. Failing this, I rationalize bad choices, and I know it. That's why I can't put "mostly me" though I wish that were the case.
This one's probably Ni but it sounds a bit like Fi to me:
28. Feel attracted to the symbolic, archetypal, or mysterious. --I put "little me"
Any thoughts, people?

Why is it so off?
Well there are often mild variations, but cognitive functions tests tend to be at least...close. For example, I get INFP sometimes. Or an INFP might get INFJ.
ISFP and ENTP are functionally not very similar, that's all. It can take a while to figure out your type.
True, they are not similar, but in terms of this test, I think they are. This test is kind of ambiguous with Se and Ne. Both Ji functions have a lot in common. I could understand why, on this test, and ISFP would test as NTP before NTJ, even though NTJ technically uses the same functions in different order while NTP is totally in an ISFP's shadow. Dunno, just my two cents.
