Hi everyone,
For a long time, I was pretty sure I'm an INFP, as I always test evidently INFP on online MBTI tests that concentrate on determining whether you're J or P by asking about whether you're organized or more of a messy person who likes to keep options open. This is why it surprises me that when I do a cognitive functions test, I always test highest on Ni. I always test higher on Ti than Te, and I usually test really high on Fi. Most cognitive tests suggested that I'm an INFJ.
As far as my personality goes, I'm only 24, so I'm pretty sure I'm unaware of some of my tendencies. I have no idea about my Se/Si functions. When it comes to thinking, I always feel stifled by any kind of standardized manner of logic, I like to develop my thoughts independently, through an inner process. I'm sure most of my decisions are based on intuition and feeling, and I'm clearly an introvert. That is all I know for sure. Could you help me figure out my type?
