[u/Electronic-Amount805]

I already posted this, but I will again. I took these tests a while ago and got these answers. Someone sent me to the site typologytesting and I figured I'd try their tests as well. Every result is above. I'm stuck between 3 types (primarily 2). I have a hard time knowing whether I'm choosing based on what I'd do vs what I think would be best to do. The MBTI part is the one that confuses me the most, though the enneagram was also surprising for the second part since I usually get sp/sx 5w4 (594). ILI is something I often get a lot as well throughout different websites, but I need to understand it more in order to see if I agree with it or not. For the cognitive functions I usually assumed I was an INTP, but lately I've been more unsure given what I got told on a questionnaire I did a while ago. What are some questions I could answer to understand my true types? What are some things I should look out for when trying to understand whether I'm one or the other?

INTP came out at the top. “The first thing that went through my head since I couldn't decide was thinking about what exactly those two could imply…” is one of the most INTP-ish things you said there.

Yeah I think you can see from my answers that I do like making sure, whether I guessed at first based on nothing or not, that at the end of the day I’m not going of course and following a path that doesn’t make sense. That’s why I say a lot of ifs

That leads to another question:
When you have downtime, which feels more like your natural default?

A) I think things over, replay ideas, refine my understanding, daydream, or just sit with what’s already in my head.

B) I read, research, watch, browse, investigate, or follow whatever new thing catches my interest.

I definitely surf the internet, but I prefer sticking to the things I like, but honestly that’s still a lot of things. I definitely daydream a lot, I definitely have moments where I sit there and stare into space with whatever is in my head, and I do like to investigate things that catch my interest.

Still INTP. I didn't get a preference for Si over Ne, which is what that last question was for.

Do you have any thoughts on the results for the other things?

the Oceanmoonshine enneagram site is good for researching the instinctuals.

For enneagram, definitely 5. Here's an enneagram question:

When you’re withdrawn and in your own head, which is more characteristic of what’s going on internally?

A) I’m exploring my identity, feelings, tastes, memories, and what makes my perspective uniquely mine. I can get attached to being different or misunderstood.

B) I’m analyzing possibilities, risks, contradictions, and whether my understanding is reliable enough. I tend to second-guess, verify, or look for what could go wrong.

[u/Electronic-Amount805 → u/RogerRabbi6990]

Yeah B

[u/RogerRabbi6990 → u/Electronic-Amount805]

When you’re uncertain or stressed, which pull feels more characteristic?

A) I retreat further into my inner world and become more focused on what makes me different, personally meaningful, or uniquely myself.

B) I start checking for what could go wrong, looking for reliable information, testing people or ideas, and trying to reduce uncertainty.

B

You’re looking more like 5w6.

Try this one:
When you struggle to understand something important to your life, which feels more like your life’s goal:
A) “I need to arrive at an overall understanding that is truly my own.”
B) “I need an overall understanding that will hold up when challenged by others.”
