I can't figure out if I am an Fe user or an Fi. I suppose it does matter which part of the hierarchal functional stack it falls in...
I am either an INTJ or INFJ, I think. I've asked other people if they consider me more a feeler or a thinker, and they both said I was a thinker but for really arbitrary reasons, like
a) "I've only seen you cry once when you were drunk" (true story lol; this is from an ENTJ)
b) "I knew you wanted me to say feeler, so I said the opposite"
A little background about me-- I grew up in an extremely tactful and considerate society known for their passive aggressiveness-- That makes it extremely hard for me to decipher if it was in my nature to be more of an Fe feeler or if I was just nurtured to emulate Fe's. I've decided I can either be an Fe with a highly developed Ti, or a Te with a highly developed Fe.
More (maybe helpful) information-- In going through the hardest time in my life, I cried a lot whenever I mentioned stressful relationships. It was so embarrassing. I hated sharing my emotions and got easily overwhelmed by them. Sometimes, I randomly cried from anxiety (work pressures), and I had absolutely no idea what the root of it was. I spent a lot of time agonizing over my relationships in my life. It's like pounding my head against a brick wall sometimes, because I feel like I can't quite understand people-- Why they do the thing they do to others.
In a meeting with a coworker; however, I had this amazing flash of insight where I felt like I could FEEL what the other person was feeling. I could feel their disappointment, anxiety, and yearning. And I realized no matter how much angst we both had, I could not hate this person. It was the first time I shared a moment of empathy with someone. Usually, my intuition is geared towards somehow knowing when things are going to happen before they do, spotting patterns in data, and solving problems requiring logic and strategy.
I'm also in the sciences. I prefer the objectivity of science to the mess that is emotions, which I struggle sometimes in understanding in myself and therefore others. But I am a humanitarian; I love helping people and have made it my life's mission to elevate mankind.
I can't figure it out. I've been scouring the internet for an answer and read a couple books about MBTI. I even took a test with a certified MBTI facilitator, and she pinned me as either INFJ or INTJ but couldn't decide between the two. Can someone help me??
