Okay so around 90% of tests I've taken say that I am an INTJ. I don't know how accurate this is, and taking more tests is not useful by now because I know what each answer would give me.
Basically, the reason I think I may not be an INTJ is because I do have emotions and I'm not in denial about having them, and I actually care about people's feelings in some situations, which is almost the opposite of the descriptions.
This has lead me to INFP. The reason for that is I know I am definitely an Fi more than Fe. However, I don't know how accurate that is either. I am open to considering other types as well, hopefully the following will be enough to type me.
I/E
I am pretty sure that I am an introvert. Although I like going outside and talking to people, I'd much rather talk to one person at a time. I am not opposed to large groups, I just don't want to be near them all the time because its tiring. I definitely think before I say anything.
N/S
I don't have a good understanding of this function, but I think that N suits me more than S. I think that rules should only exist if they make sense. It really annoys me if someone tries to enforce rules that are illogical and don't need to exist.
I don't really understand some social norms/rules, particularly gender and fashion norms.
I'd also say that I am pretty creative - I like art and creative writing.
I am often in my head thinking about something else instead of taking in the world around me. Sometimes I like to take a break and only observe the physical world and its sensations, sounds etc. But I have to initiate that usually because most of the day I am in my head.
As I said before, though, I don't have a good understanding of this function so I may be wrong about being an N.
T/F
This is probably the function I am the most confused about. I have been able to deduce that Fi suits me more than Fe, but that is all. A functions test I took told me than I am equal Fi and Te, I don't know how accurate that was.
I have pretty intense feelings. Although I don't enjoy negative feelings, I think that having emotions is a great thing. I am a little bit nihilistic, I don't think that my existence or accomplishments will really matter in the long run, so I think that my experience of this world is the most important thing for me. If I didn't have emotions, I would probably commit suicide because nothing would be stopping me. I try not to ruin anyone else's experience of this world either.
I actually do care about people's feelings, and I would never intentionally hurt someone who I don't dislike. I can usually tell that someone is upset, or at least I think I can.
I don't know whether this is a T of F trait, but if someone is upset at me I want to find out why they are so I can either fix it or just not do anything if there is nothing to fix. It really annoys me when I can tell that someone is upset at me but they don't tell me why, or expect me to know without telling me.
However if someone is upset at something else, I don't usually try to fix it because when I am upset at something I don't usually need advice, and it annoys me when people try to give me advice because it is like they think that I am incompetent or something. If this problem could be so easily fixed, I wouldn't be upset about it.
I usually don't mind when people come to me for emotional support. I mean, if I don't listen to them, they might bottle up their feelings which may lead to self harm or drug abuse if they have no outlet. I want my friends to be happy so I don't mind listening to their problems.
I have empathy, and the only time I don't cry at sad movies is when other people are around.
I think that most people would say that I'm nice. I try not to hurt people if they are my friends. I also express my emotions sometimes, although maybe not very clearly for other people. My mum thinks that I have strange emotional reactions to things. I think this may be an Fi trait. I don't mind talking about my feelings to some extent with people that I trust.
I think that most important decisions should be made using logic, but not all decisions can be made that way. For example, if someone asks you to be their romantic partner, you have to use your feelings because I personally can't control who I have romantic feelings for and no amont of logic will make me have romantic feelings for someone. However, I am not unrealistic in that regard and I think that having romantic feelings for each other is not the only prerequisite for making a relationship work.
Although I may know that some fact is right, when someone states an incorrect fact I might not correct them (although I'd be screaming internally). I don't seem very confident in that regard. When I am arguing about something I know is 100% true, I will probably appear confident, but that is rarely the case because I am usually only 99.9% sure that something is true, and on the off chance that I am wrong I don't want to make myself seem stupid. What doesn't help is that people always appear so confident when arguing about something they don't know anything about. Also arguing about more subjective things that have no right answer that you can easily google is no use because most people don't change their minds and arguing will only make me annoyed because they will try to change my opinion without even considering it although I usually at least try to consider their opinion. I don't know, maybe I don't, but I want to think that I'm nicer than I really am. One of my friends even ignored me for a week after I tried debating with her on a topic. People rarely want to consider the other person's point of view and instead think that I am attacking them, when I am not. I try to avoid conflict. This seems different to INTJs because they seem to be able to confidently debate about things.
I tend to analyze my feelings a lot instead of just taking them in. If I have a feeling for a short period (maybe a few minutes) I will probably not do anything about it, because it probably doesn't mean anything, but if its there for a while I might try to figure out what is causing it. I sometimes don't even realize that I'm feeling something. It took me ages to figure out that I was bi, although in hindsight it is very obvious. Also it is very common for me to feel something but think the opposite. I may have a slight negative reaction to a certain opinion, but I will think "this is more logical so it is right". If the emotional reaction is too intense I usually just try to ignore the topic because obviously I am not in the state to make an unbiased decision. I almost settled on being an INFP, but this doesn't seem to match from my understanding of functions.
I am also very sensitive to what people think of me in some regard. I especially had a problem with embarrassment when i was younger. I don't think that I am an INFJ though, because I definitely don't conform. I just feel a little sad that people don't like me, and then move on because it's not my problem that they are stupid.
I am generally a fun person I think. I don't usually talk or joke much with people that I'm uncomfortable with, but if you get a little closer to me I am usually pretty loud and joke a lot. You know, like most introverts.
So anyway, these are some of the things that are confusing me about whether I would be an F or a T.
J/P
I am not extremely sure which of these I am either. I am leaning towards the J, but if I am an F I should be an FP from my understanding. This is a big thing that makes me doubt being an INFP.
Although I like being organised, my room and desk are pretty messy. Its not that I like it this way, but I am too lazy to clean.
I get really stressed out if I feel like I don't have anything planned. I need to have at least a rough plan in order to do things efficiently. Sometimes I have trouble following that plan completely, but I need to have one in order to do anything because I get really confused and lost if I don't.
So anyway. I hope this is enough information to type me. Would it be possible to be an organized INFP with an internal moral "everything should be logical" that leads all of my Fi? I seem too friendly and sociable to be an INTJ, but for some reason I get it on tests at least 90% of the time.
