The XXXX theory of MBTI personality type preference

There are good and bad sides to both, having strong preferences probably means you're more likely to be truly exceptional at something, or more of a remarkable character. Where as being balanced is more rounded and like you said more likely to relate to and be accepted by others.

Strong preference = idiot savant
Balanced preference = jack of all trades, master of none

 

You're results are clearly ENFJ by those results. You could be INFJ, but by those I would not say so. I do find it rather odd that your Fi is so low, that is something you don't often see with an INFJ or an ENFJ.

I think everyone can be applied to an MBTI type. The degree that one can be applied though varies by alot though.

 

Nothing "caused" it, unless you are being dishonest with your answers (i.e. answering how you want to be or how you want people to see you, as opposed to how you really are). I would read details on each cognitive function and see what each of them means, then you will see if each one truly applies to you by correlation to where your scores are.

Some people just have anomolies in their scores. Truly it makes them stand out more. My scores are strange in that my Ne is very low, where as for most INFJ's it is usually slightly high.

 

I saw the "xxxx" and the word "preference" and naturally assumed this thread was about lesbian oil wrestling. No?

 

I'm very familiar with this.

First, each type is made up of 4 cognitive functions. As we develop, we develop each of those functions. Over time, they all start to level out, and our J and P axis begins to become more and more balanced.

However, your results look very much ENFJ or INFP.

Because you are pretty sure you're not extroverted, this lends itself to INFP. If this is the case, it is not uncommon to score high on Fe and not on Fi because it is very difficult to ask questions that apply to one and not the other. There is also a strong philosophical bias that plays for or against the individual's beliefs. Your personal belief system may be very internalized Fi, but include the sorts of concepts the test tries to measure as Fe.

Try this test.

Try to answer the questions as honestly as possible, and not be biased by the fact that they display the function names.

 

I have cognitive function confusion too. When I take a straight Myers-Briggs test I almost always get INTP or INTJ. But when I test with cognitive functions I get Ne, Ti, Fi, Si needless to say you're not the only one confuzzled.

Edit:

I liked this test, probably one of the better ones I've taken. My results were a little different than usual.

Ne, Ti, Fi, Te
