Was I in denial about my own type for a long time? (INFP 6W5)

I (almost) always got INFP on tests, but drifted away from it because I slowly stopped relating to the stereotypes, which was kind of a silly thing to do.

I was trying really badly to find my "real" mbti type because there was no way I was an INFP even though INFPs are supposed to be emotional and are "bad at logic since their Te is their lowest function", right? This is what I thought for a long time, and I got a period when I thought I was an ISTJ because I thought it fitted better with 6w5.

I also have an ISTJ mother so I had to develop my Te, and I value Si ; I do like routines, but get tired quickly of the same places.

So, I'm pretty sure I'm an infp 6w5, and this is why I had such a hard time finding my type.
Does anyone relate?

Type me ☆

  • I've been "typed" as different MBTI types before, it can be explained with my past lack of knowledge about cognitive functions and the fact that I'm still young. I got typed as INFJ, but I know it's wrong because I'm pretty sure I have Si. I took tests and a lot of them told me I was INFP, but I don't think Ne is my dominant function. I thought about ISFP but I definitely don't have Se.
  • So I'm stuck between ISFJ and ISTJ, I'm not the best at cognitive functions and typing myself so thanks for the help!
  • I'm 6w5 SPSOSX.
  • I grew up in an unstable environment, my mother is ISTJ and she was unhealthy because of external problems and uses Te and Fi a lot. Our differences are that she is less accepting, open-minded and spends less time thinking about her choices. She thinks I'm an ISFJ.
  • When I was a kid, I was an introvert who was described as anxious and clumsy, but polite and I would never break the rules unless I didn't know I broke them.
  • When I was in an unhealthy environment I would isolate myself and lie at my worst.
  • When in a possibly judgemental environment I just stay silent and only share what I think when I'm sure or if it feels important to me to speak up.
  • I don't create conflicts unless I need to be honest with the person, and if they create the conflict I defend myself immediately and hope I handle it well.
  • I'm bad at socializing easily, because I always feel like I'm going to screw up.
  • If I don't know something I will quickly look it up, get an external source to confirm if I'm right or not.
  • I don't know about my father's MBTI (probably something like ENFJ) but the differences we have is that he never talks about the past and reads people easily which is a little scary to me.
  • When thinking about my future I imagine a vague version of what I want, I'm never 100% sure and just hope it will work out.
  • When sad I think the world will never be fixed, when happy I think there can be a balance between acknowledging the world's problems and the good sides of it.
  • If someone tells me to do something vaguely I will be confused and need a visual example of what they are asking me to do.
  • I get along well with my ESFJ grandma, but the conflicts we've had is when she wants me to go out more.
  • I consider myself as realistic and a planner. I don't go with the flow.
  • If I have to speak up in front of people (like a speech) I organize the informations I need to communicate in chapters / steps.
  • Even though I like step by step things, I also like being allowed to have some freedom.
  • I don't believe in everyone being the same and prioritize individuality.
  • I show my love towards people with gifts and words of affirmation. I'm not really comfortable with physical contact.
  • Forgot to mention that I'm stubborn and won't do something if I don't like it.

If you were an ISFJ growing up with an ISTJ parents, how did it affect your behaviour?

I'm asking because my mother is clearly an ISTJ and we have some differences, but I learned to accomodate my behaviour to be more efficient which led me to think I'm an ISTJ too.

(And it is possible I still am but did any ISFJ mistype themselves as ISTJ for this reason?)

Why do right-handed people assume we are secretly able to write with both hands?

I could understand using other things with the right hand is normal as a left-handed person, but we can't just write with both hands randomly. (or we can but it's done poorly)

Did anyone get a sensor type on 16 personalities?

I made people take this MBTI test when I didn't know it was unreliable, and four people got INTP, three got ENFP, one got ENTP and I got INFP (sometimes INFJ).

No this is not a typing post, I'm just curious if anyone got a sensor type after taking it because it seemed impossible to me.

What kind of duck is this?

Sorry for the poor quality, it was with female mallards and has a black head, light beak, a white stripe on the neck and brown. Is it also a female?

ISTJ main character in a show?

This is very specific but did you ever see an ISTJ as a main character, especially a young one or teenager? I've seen a lot of ISXPs but not a lot of ISTJs

I'm tired of having to explain to cis people what is right and wrong to say to a trans person

Yes, I do explain it, but I'm tired. I say I'm trans, and they say "so you want to be a boy?" like transitioning medically is suddenly going to make me shapeshift into a man. But the most hurtful thing about this is that they don't see me as a man until I "look" like a cis man.

Oh and when you're pre-T and they flirt with you, but when you ask if they're still going to be interested after you transition medically they say no. Like, I know you can't magically change your sexuality but at least pretend you acknowledge me as a man already.

(Quick note but them calling us tomboys...seriously?)

It says enable access but I already did. I can't disable it because I'm on iPad, and I tried deleting the app and reinstalling it. How do I fix it?

Type me based on the opposite of stereotypes from my MBTI type

Basically I will tell all of my behaviour that doesn't align with the stereotypes of my own type (which is also why I had a hard time finding it)

  • I dress casual and could describe my style as alternative.
  • I often change my mind because I'm never sure which thing is the best option.
  • I'm very empathetic.
  • Not afraid to stand up against a rule if it doesn't make sense to me.
  • I love art, writing, psychology, and music.
  • Math and biology are hard for me.
  • I get a MBTI type on tests that has the same cognitive functions, but not in the same order.
  • I procrastinate and always feel like I'm never doing enough because I prefer doing things I love more than working.
  • I mostly act on my emotions but try to keep a balance.
  • My favorite subjects were languages, litterature and art. I was also very good at chemistry and physics, but it wasn't something I loved.
  • I am open-minded.
  • I like reading fantasy.
  • I plan on travelling.
  • My friends are ENXPs.
  • I'm polite and know social expectations.
  • I grew up with a mother the same type as me and a father the opposite on the cognitive functions chart.

What do I answer to "Your hair was better longer"?

I cut my hair two years ago and my mother keeps saying comments like 'your hair was better before' 'you would have gotten so much compliments nowadays' is it to make me feel guilty? Yet when I tell her that I prefer my hair like this she gets frustrated and tells me hair isn't that big of a deal. She also criticized my mullet. I just don't understand what people expect you to do when they say that. To magically grow it out? And if it doesn't they hit you with the 'it will never grow back as long as it was before' like we're doomed forever. Are these comments really necessary?

Ad covering the album cover

Back then I could just remove it, but now it's either covering the whole thing or doing a weird cropped ad to the side with grey around it. The only way to get rid of it is to say I'm not interested, but I don't wanna do it everytime it pops up. I'm new to Spotify so it could just be normal, but that's pretty annoying.

Guess my MBTI type (for fun)

  • If you could tell I love animals, especially birds. They're silly in a good way
  • The subjects I liked at school were litterature, chemistry and art. The worst ones for me were P.E and biology.
  • I like drawing but don't have that much inspiration sadly
  • I'm a very introverted person and going a whole day seeing people without even talking to them is tiring.
  • Working in groups? No thank you!
  • I like sorting things by colors or aesthetics. It's satisfying.
  • Lists!
  • I'm not that much into thrillers (depends on people's tastes because someone I know who has the same cognitive functions loves them), I prefer action and drama shows / movies.
  • I'm open-minded, until someone's opinion doesn't feel logical to me based on external factors. I wish the world was better but I know it isn't so I'm not really idealistic.
  • I plan for the future just in case, unless I'm tired.
  • Random bursts of 'I wanna try something new' followed by looking for more information on Google thinking it would be useful for that new possibility (or in a few years, who knows)
  • People told I'm stubborn because I don't do things that I judge as not worth of my time
  • I try to be as nice to acquaintances / friends as possible and might come off as shy but if they mistreat me it might be hard for me to forgive them.
  • I prefer observing than doing things
  • (Is my MBTI type obvious?)

All of my new pins getting shadowbanned for no reason

I'm a content creator on Pinterest and I noticed most of my recent pins get hidden for absolutely no reason. I maybe think it's the text so I hide it (because Pinterest will censor anything) it works, but a few hours later Pinterest hides it AGAIN. What is going on and what did I do?. Is it because of the blue filter I'm using? The symbols? I'm so lost.

I know MBTI cannot really tell you which types are the best / worst in terms of communication and relationships, but honestly I can relate to Fe / Si blindness, etc.

I was friends with a guy who I believed was an ENFJ, and at first it worked out. We were joking around, and he was basically the more social one. Disclaimer, I'm not saying all ENFJs are like that, we were pretty young, and I also had some confidence issues or setting boundaries. He said he was an introvert but was still social with pretty much everybody. (It made me kind of jealous too, I can't lie) He would almost always talk in friends groups I didn't know, and I just had to sit here and wait. Whenever I was feeling down or annoyed, he would always try to cheer me up, which just made me uncomfortable and smile nervously. He had a habit of being weirdly caring but in a parent way? Sometimes it was even a little creepy because just because I don't smile doesn't mean I'm being annoyed. The moment we didn't talk to eachother anymore was when I complained about him looking happier when he was with more extroverted people (Fe blindness because I can't just personally switch my 'personality' with different people, or just very subtly) and he said he felt more himself with me. But I didn't feel myself with him. I thought that he was fake most of the time, and didn't truly care about me. I made mistakes too like not being honest enough about my boundaries, and was almost exhausted trying to keep up with his pace. I think it would have worked out if both of us tried to work on the communication part. Forgot to mention that he said I was too closed-off. I took it personally because I was just tired with him back then but now I know why he said that. I don't know why but I couldn't bring myself to fully trust him. Also, his way of pleasing straight up rude people, or people he insulted in the past behind their backs made me feel like he was hypocritical. He didn't care about his health, and once said "i'm only getting help if i'm bleeding really bad." He should have cared about his own health instead of asking everyone else if they're okay.
