I'd like to mention beforehand that I have been medically diagnosed by a psychiatrist with mental disorders. From what I understand about MBTI and from browsing most of the forums (mostly T-centered or general MBTI), the mentally unstable are considered broken or unable to be typed. As a result, I am rather resentful towards being ostracized but I want to understand your definition of the words "broken" and "unhealthy".
From what I understand, people tend to have preferences towards certain habits and this is what the test attempts to designate. In some moods I do my best to consider my perception of interpersonal relations and harmony (Fi or Fe). In other moods I completely neglect them and rely solely on (over)analysis(Ti or Te). When I act on impulse it generally results in negative consequences (Se?) but I am somewhat adept at using guidelines (Si). The problem is that I know for sure I do not have a particular preference for any function. Early in my teens, I was typed as INFJ, and in my early adulthood I have been typed as INTP. I have also taken the free online tests and the results seem to fall towards whatever type I want to be at the time.
I understand that an assessment created in the 1930s based on the journals of a brilliant, but clearly insane psychologist, distributed by HR to companies as a way to better understand how employees interact in an organization, and later reproduced on the internet as a pseudoscientific alternative to horoscopes may not be the best starting point to understand reality. Nonetheless, I was involved with someone who was interested in the assessment (ENFP), and I have done the assessment twice so I assume it would be the best place to start.
Thank you in advance.
