That is pretty cool. I would say that it's pretty accurate for me, ISFJ=high sense of duty.

I am an INFJ. I used to be an ENFJ but as I've gotten older I have become much more Introverted.. Interesting post!

never done this before but i am apparently an ISFP.

I used to think i was an ambivert, enjoying peoples company but wanting to be alone too but now i'm just a plain old introvert! social anxiety is a biatch lol

I observe but don't share, sounds pretty accurate for now. but i think it would change with my mood swings!

INFP as follows
• strong preference of Introversion over Extraversion (78%)
• moderate preference of Intuition over Sensing (38%)
• moderate preference of Feeling over Thinking (25%)
• slight preference of Perceiving over Judging (11%)

p and j are close .

I am ENFP :)

I used to mistype as INFJ. I don't think INFJ and bpd are very compatible. Fi (introverted feeling) seems to be what makes people susceptible to BPD. Because usinfg Fi as your main thinking style basically means seeing and interpreting the world the world thru tour internal emotions. Secondary Ne makes INFPs also always looking for possibilities in their environment and the world, so they keep changing their emotions to reflect that and are naturally emotionally unstable. I would think an INFJ with BPD is probably a mistyped INFP. I could be wrong, but it's also true that a lot of people are mistyped by those tests.

A lot of people can't decide if they are INFJ or INFP, but they are actually very different.

Anyway. just some thoughts. ya never know and I don't mean to be invalidating anyone, I could totally be wrong.

No it is hard to decipher.
Your description of BPD...makes me wonder if BPDs should express themselves thru creativity. :)

It would be interesting also what the result of Briggs Meyer test would be if someone else answered the questions for you based on how they perceive you.
Bet it would be different.

I don't know if you mean me specifically or anybody when you say you (: but I actually typed myself wrong as INFJ at first and had friends help me find my real type by noticing how I seemed ENFPish. SO yeah, having an outside perspective is really helpful!

I used to think I was INFJ. And sometimes
I am. But when I am healthy and balanced,
I am an ENFJ. My introversion is more a
result of my illness and repression.

I for sure process my emotions externally.
And I am a social butterfly when I can get
out of my self- absorption. I'm a leader too.
