When I did the 16p test for the first time, I got ISFP. Then I learned cognitive functions and still thought, "Yeah, sounds like me" but recently, I've been identifying more with the INFJ. I know it's common for ISFPs to be mistyped as NFs, but INFJ? Seems the least likely NF for an ISFP to be mistaken for. Here's my reasoning:

Ni:

\- I dissociate from others 99.99% of the time and spend a lot of time thinking about a variety of things while just walking around with no direction.

\- I'm very reflective and constantly think "What am I doing?" And "What should I do about it?"

\- Recently, I caught myself planning and thinking about consequences a lot, what should I do with my life, where am I going, what will happen with my life with these decisions, etc.

\- I often don't interact with the physical world, I don't practice any sport, I don't like parties, I don't go out with friends nor chat with them a lot, I usually go on long walks while thinking to myself, play videogames, draw, study or just imagine random things

\- I know the consequences my choices will have

Fe:

\- I constantly put other people's needs before my own, no matter what, I always prioritize what someone else needs/wants. The only exceptions are things that I believe would hurt others

\- Ever since I was little, I always wanted to help, and I always hated seeing people sad/angry, but I didn't really think, "Oh, how would this make ME feel?" I just knew how people would react or what they would find uncomfortable

\- I know how people feel most of the time, even if they don't say it out loud

\- Two things that make me the happiest are: praise/recognition from others and helping others feel better. I'm often alone, but when people start a conversation with me, praise me for something, or I do something that makes other people happy, it makes ME insanely happy and fulfilled.

I used to think I was an ISFP mainly because I always loved being different from the rest, I'm sensitive, I let people do what they want as long as they don't bother anyone else.

What do you guys think? Also, please be kind about this, I feel like some of y'all are going to say "That's not how cognitive functions work" or "This is why MBTI sucks and blah blah blah"
