You know, it seems my personality is a barrel of contradictions. I'm a very anomalous INFP. Yet, how can I resist that? Too many aspects of my personality are inherently at odds with each other.
Fi/Te - I have a strong Te which is constantly suppressing my Fi, even though Fi is my center, my motivation, the point from which all the rest of me developed. Te says Fi is just total crap a lot of the time, that I need to think of things objectively and logically. Te comes in handy for a lot of the sciencey stuff I do, but sometimes Fi gets a bit overcharged and the result... makes my professors go, "...Okay then."
Ne/Te - Te also says Ne is invalid, because nothing I do with Ne seems quantifiable. Te causes me to question my Ne, when my Ne is very refined and very accurate. Te gets me in trouble here.
Ne/Si - Ne thinks Si is just damned boring. Si has a tendency to get in a rut, while Ne is like, "MORE! I NEED MORE INPUT! NOOOOOOOOOWWWW!" I like Ne better, frankly. Si can be sort of a jerk, a stickler for rules and structure and security. Ne allows me to have tons of fun.
9w1-7w6 - 9w1 seeks perfect peace... but 7w6 craves stimulation, and can sometimes want to start an uprising.
sp/sx - I crave connection, but I don't go seeking it unless I am confident in the security of my own well-being. And if I get too many red flags from someone, I bolt.
ADHD/Asperger's - ADHD is when my thoughts shoot out in all directions, and I lack focus. (xNFP tendencies.) Asperger's is when my focus and thoughts are overly fixated on one person or thing. (INTJ tendencies.)
ADHD/Depression/Anxiety - My depression is now completely demolished, but I stave it off due in part to my ADHD medication, which regulates my Dopamine levels well. Unfortunately, what I have for anxiety raises my Serotonin levels, and while it's true that the higher my Serotonin levels are, the less anxiety I experience, for some reason, if my Serotonin levels get too high, my ADHD symptoms become more intense then they've ever been, and I might become more irritable/depressed again as well.
