Hey everyone! So, I'm a 9w1 and am trying to figure out my MBTI type. I have it narrowed down to INP but am trying to decide between Ti and Fi. I'm not a very emotional person and don't really understand or think about my own emotions. I rarely cry, maybe like twice a year or something, and if I'm insulted I usually just drop it because, just let it go. I usually avoid thinking about things that could upset me and don't really allow myself to get upset. If I am upset it's very much internal. I live in my head, but tend to avoid how I feel about things. At the very least I don't articulate these thoughts to myself, even if those emotions are there, so I might not realize it. For this reason, I don't relate to much of the INFP descriptions, which state INFPs know how they feel about everything and understand their emotions perfectly and use this understanding to relate to others.
The thing is though that I can be really sympathetic and warm for people and im a great listener for friends going through a hard time. I almost get a "charge" by talking to people about things like emotions and stuff, but only if it's contained. By that I mean if people talk about how they've been feeling in a group discussion type situation rather than a spur of the moment feels drop. The latter makes me feel quite uncomfortable and I won't know what to do. I also tend to try to put myself in other peoples positions but I don't do it necessarily to empathize emotionally, but rather to understand how their situation relates to myself and then understand how I would most likely react or feel. That way I can logically understand the situation they're going through and sympathize with them. I don't get emotional with other people, though.
On the other hand, I have a hard time relating to much of the INTP descriptions because it tends to focus so heavily on science and such, things I don't have an interest in. I understand you don't have to be that way to be INTP but it makes it difficult for me to relate to the descriptions. If I could get a description specific to something like writing, music, or history I'd be very interested. Anyway, I'm not sure if I'm INTP or INFP and was wondering what your thoughts or suggestions are. I'll be asking around in my search. Thanks so much!
