I've always been struggling to decide what type I am: INTJ or INFJ? I've also been doubting about INTP in the past.
What about the P-thing? Although I can relate to both J and P, I consider myself more J. It's true that I always try to take up lots of information, but in the end, I always want to formulate a theory. This might be obvious if you've read my posts here. I'm always looking for answers. I'll look at something from all viewpoints (which is P), but in the end, I'll try to make a decision (which is definitely J). So, I consider myself J now.
What about the F-thing? Once more, I have to say SPD is a defense mechanism. Our emotions are blunted, so we are likely to associate ourselves with T rather than F. Be honest to yourself if you're reading this now: did you even consider being F or did you skip it right away? When I look to my true self behind the schizoid defenses, I come to the conclusion that I'm F because I'm extremely sensitive. On top of that, I can almost fully relate to the INFJ-description.
The schizoid life is all about moving back and forth between connecting and distancing. As a consequence, I feel like moving back and forth between INTJ and INFJ all the time. Therefore, I consider myself both and I can't choose between those two. I relate to both.
