A lot of the time when I take online tests for cognitive functions, I get Fe and Ni as equals. I try to take many of them to get the most average result over time as well. However, the more I'm taking them, the more I'm seeing a trend of getting higher Fe, and it recommends I may be an ENFJ.
The problem with that is that I am in no way extroverted. I hate leadership positions, I dislike attention and parties and all that. I prefer to be in the background and do my own thing. I'll go to social events if I feel obligated, but I don't gain attention, and people don't really look up to me. I'm not interested in them doing so. I definitely get tired interacting with people and part-ways through an event I usually back away and get myself some space.
I get Fe scores highly because ethically I really value humanity and place a high value on peace. I'm fascinated with people from afar and love how they work. I hate confrontation and always try to smooth things out with people one to one after a conflict arises. I do care deeply about how people feel about a situation because the idea of anyone being upset around me - especially if it is something I'd caused or that I could correct - is upsetting.
I've only recently gone looking into INFJ because before a few weeks ago, when I took tests for just the 4 letters, it gave me INFP with a 90% I and about 55-60% P. Cognitive functions clarified that I couldn't be infp, but now I'm left with this new predicament.
What do you think? Is it possible to have a higher Fe than Ni and be INFJ? Is it a problem with the system? I definitely identify more with INFJ descriptions than ENFJ ones. It's a pickle!
