For quite a while I have been debating as to whether I am and INTP or an INTJ. Most MBTI tests have come up with INTJ, and quite a lot have come up with INTP. However, quite recently I have taken the cognitive functions test declaring that my type could either be INTP, ENTP, or INFP. INTJ, however was not mentioned at all.
So I decided to take a closer look at ENTP and INFP profiles as well. The ENTP profile fits me relatively accurately, but I am almost certain that I am an introvert. I appear shy, withdrawn, and aloof to even most introverts. I can relate to several aspects of the INFP profile, yet it is still not the most accurate.
In the end, none of the four profiles (INTP, INTJ, INFP, ENTP) seem to describe me most accurately. There always seems to be a small set of characteristics which applies to me that seems to be missing in one profile, but exists in another (and vice-versa).
Should I trust the standard MBTI tests more, or should I rely more on the Cognitive Functions test?
