Well, I don't feel like posting a wall of text like I usually do, so I'll post a video describing myself. One thing I am sure about is having Ne at least in my aux. I shape shift a lot in discussion, make frequent connections. And I'm even more sure about having Si, which would back up Ne. So Ne-Si axis for sure, I'm just torn over Ti/Fe or Fi/Te and where it could be in hierarchical order. However it has been taking me a while to figure out my type, and that being said could very well be an indicator that I may have a Pe function as dominant, although I would say that some Ji-dominants, with strong Ne especially, could also keep their options open. I'm also new to studying Jungian typology, and since it is one big abstract theory (seemingly) it can get misinterpreted by so many people, leading to inconsistent data, sometimes. I was feeling lazy, and was preoccupied with other things, so I didn't really feel like doing more research in regards to figuring out my type.

A dominant Pe function sounds bad.....

Introverted Intuitive Feeler... I don't know whether INFP or INFJ, though I think more INFP. And within that there's Ti.

What? There's no Ti in the INFP stacking.

That doesn't necessitate Ne dom/aux type. Anyone can do that.

And I'm even more sure about having Si

I understand your logic, but that really doesn't offer enough proof that could be used to type you one way or the other.

Have you ever taken a cognitive functions test? Like this one? http://www.keys2cognition.com/explore.htm

Ikr? It's crazy.

I have some more questions for you.

- Do you have any one type that you would *prefer* to be?

- You mentioned that you have ADD in your video and also that you've been going through some personal issues. Could you give a bit of background info on these issues or other psychological stuff going on for you? Are you on any form of medication?

I was liking the idea of INTP, since I felt like I could use TiNe to my advantage, but ENTP and INFP I can also live with.

I was dXed with ADHD when I was 4, and have suffered from depression for the past 3 years or so. I had to take Adderall XR on and off because of ADHD issues and being hyperactive when I was a child.

Depression is going to influence you and the impression you give off, possibly even to a pretty high degree. When you're trying to figure out your type, you've got try to base it off of who you are when you're being a stable, happy person.

The best advice I can give you is to go over to a forum such as PersonalityCafe and mingle with the people within the different MBTI type subforums. Get to know them a little and figure out who you relate with the most. Because when you go around asking people to type you like this, all anyone gets is surface information about you.

At this point, if you usually test as INTP, I would say that you might as well stick with INTP for the time being, for all practical purposes.

I would also consider reading these to help you ascertain your dominant function:

Well, I have been doing that for a while. I'm pretty sure I'm xNFP now. Just torn between the I/E, and can't pinpoint my inferior.

The MBTI stack is a too narrow definition. Usually it's the first two functions that are consistent, the rest is volatile.

Sure, I guess there are pretty much unlimited definitions depending on which of the conventionalities you choose.

In reality I would contest to not even the first two functions likely being consistent throughout life.
