I think when I was trying to identify my functions on my own, without tests, I had the biggest difficulty with identifying Se/Si.
I forgot to mention genre and character preference.
As a kid my movie idol was James Bond played by Pierce Brosnan. Often when I became conscious of my external image and behavior, I tried to imitate him. (don't like the other actors)
Today whenever I get invited to a date, and the date suggests going to a cinema, my primary preference is always to pick either a spy thriller (along the lines of Jason Bourne, or Vantage Point) or something a bit more tricky like Inception. I like mystery being mixed into reality, whether the mystery has political or psychological grounds. And I love to see the character survive in a hostile environment by utilizing precise, efficient methods/tools in his environment. (like Jason Bourne for instance, although of course his character is extremely overblown). This preference though seems to be totally uninteresting to all of my dates.
In my academic sphere I had a large selection of subjects to choose from related to international relations and politics, but those I enjoyed the most and scored the best at were:
1. Intelligence Studies (CIA/MI6/FSB/etc), mostly about how intelligence agencies operate, and the difficulties and limits of transparency and power they can have.
2. Nuclear Politics - How the system of international relations impacts the creation, maintenance and dangers of nuclear armaments, and how the world should be restructured politically to reduce the risk of a nuclear disaster.
3. International relations history - how the political order changed in Europe since middle ages, how war was avoided through the maintenance and shifting of alliances, and based on which mutual agreements the states interacted. (I'm particularly fond of Burke here)
4. Political/IR philosophy, with an admiration of Machiavelli - His conviction that politics is disconnected from morality, and to survive in a political environment as a leader, you need to rely on spies to know what's going on around you, to manipulate your own image to remain unpredictable, to improve own virtuosity to limit fortune's control over your success. (and outside of academia, I'm also quite into Sun Tzu since I can see parallels between his approach to warfare and Machiavelli's approach to politics and international relations)
I need to soon make a decision about what master's degree to pursue, and my main preference is leaning towards security studies (warfare, terrorism, geopolitics, intelligence, etc.), but there's doubts whether I'll be able to pursue that direction, and I've been told by savvy people that pursuing international financial security is more prospective in terms of employment.
Brief academic record of how I progressed thus far:
1. In middle school and highschool I didn't put any effort into my studies, almost never did homework, and got into a lot of trouble because of it. But I also was at the top of my class in several subjects, not because I studied them, but because they were part of my life. I participated in every English language competition at school, and once got the chance to represent my school on a national level, taking 4th place. (my native environment is not English-speaking btw)
2. After school I was quickly "inserted" by my parents into a university, studying Visual Design & Media, simply because they knew I had a thing for web-design. However, I failed my first semester and quit uni, regardless of my parents' wishes. When my father asked for my reasons, I couldn't provide any and said I just feel like that subject is wrong for me, and I need to find something that feels right - something that clicks into place.
3. Later I embarked on a language-focused university course, then on a business-focused one, and eventually ended up changing to International Relations focused studies (specifics of the subject are described above), because my friend suggested that it seems to fit me the most. And she was absolutely correct, because that's indeed the subject that I became passionate about and competitive (as well as successful) in.
