Do you think it's possible that some of the Si traits you are seeing could be Fi? Reading through SimulatedWorld's profiles, INFP was actually the one that resonated most with me (for the first time ever.) I usually hear Fi in terms of 'Good vs Evil' which does not resonate with me at all - but this also included 'Meaningful and Not Meaningful,' 'Sacred and Not Sacred.' That is a bullseye. There was nothing in the profile that struck me as ill-fitting.

Fi as my dominant would make lots of sense...it would explain why, even though I feel like I'm super logical, people use 'Courtney-logic' to describe my way of thinking, rolling their eyes. It would explain my strong feelings about things (NOT SJ!!!11oneoneone lol.) I asked my husband, "Do I have totally random, subjective beliefs that I justify in ever-changing, sometimes rational and sometimes irrational ways?" He smirked and said, "Um, I think you're on to something, because YES, so much YES."
The biggest problem with INFP would be no Fe, because everyone in this thread is seeing strong Fe. However, my test scores are always in the toilet for it, and I personally don't see it manifesting in healthy ways in my life, only unhealthy, judgey resentful ways. I have no problem with abandoning our Fe theory, but it's difficult to reconcile everyone in this thread seeing it, if indeed I'm INFP and it is not one of my functions. That's a wrench.
I could see Te instead of Ti, as well, especially when I was younger. To use a (Si, damn it, though INFP still has Si) example ,when I was young my friends and I all had superhero names for each other, and mine was The Flying Nun, because I was always trying to organize/judge/control everyone's lives for them. I booked all of our convention hotel rooms, bought all of the movie premiere tickets, etc, total Te. I even sat down my best friend and scolded her with Bible verse citations about everything she was doing wrong with her boyfriends. (God, what a terrible friend. Hot shame.) I am so ashamed of my past, religious-self behavior and have tried to run away from it and rebuild myself into something different, but I was definitely the The Flying Nun in my friend group because I Believed in My Religious Values (Fi) and tried to enforce them upon everyone else (Te.)
Maybe without religion, I had lost my biggest belief, and tried to compensate for my confused, broken Fi by developing Ti (since I was at university at the time, it was everywhere and easy to latch on to.) I have been trying to cling to Ti as my dominant ever since then, but as I wrote in the first post, I just don't think it's right. Fi-dominant traumatized by leaving religion would explain pretty much everything and it sits really well with me.
It would be hilarious if, after all of this consternation, the one that I always test as on the cognitive function test (INFP) is actually the right one.
