The IN seems right but you seem like INFP to me. Take that with a grain of salt because I'm not an expert. 

Do you think that fits? 

Most things listed seem accurate to me. One thing that makes me wonder is that T seems to correspond to people who are more "in the head" types than F, as I said haven't read so deeply into the descriptions of each but its my impression from the little I've read. As someone who has been "in the head" type very very strongly since childhood (have slowly became more balanced in recent times, but still applies), it makes me initially think T applies more to me. Even if the content of my mind is not typically "nerdy" or "logic oriented" as T seems to suggest something in that direction, I have still been more "thinking driven" so far in my life overall I'd say. 

Also, I thought maybe reading up on the meaning of each preferences/functions and then self assessing based on them could be equally or maybe even more accurate than taking the test again, what you think? Maybe me making this suggestion supports the idea I could be INFP lol

@Joshe Sugarcoat seems to have some T going on (not  "that kind" of T, you know what I mean 👀).

When I identify a strong Fi user, I see them making assertions without using many connective prepositions like "because", "as", "therefore", because that is how logic is expressed (connecting different things explictly through linguistic structure). I could point out three examples of this on the forum, but they likely wouldn't appreciate it as "being logical" is generally seen as a virtuous thing.

Intuitive Fi users in a discussion will often suggest possible conceptual interpretations that could be conceptually rich and possibly valid, but they will less often justify them or again explicate them in connection to other things that could be relevant in the discussion (and they can often end up being quite irrelevant to the discussion overall; it's just something that they "thought about" because they value it and they want to share that).

I cant help being curious about that first sentence ahhah

Sometimes the seemingly "out of place" stuff are not so out of place as it seems, its just providing a perspective from different vantage point (might be using the word incorrectly), but if someone doesn't think in that style, maybe it doesn't ring bell for them. (Emphasis on sometimes.......☠️)

Seems like I've seen her on multiple occasions implying and even flat out saying that too much thinking is taking place lol ("this is wrong, I don't like it"). And I've noticed the bolded bit several times. 

That's a good heuristic about the connectives. Reminds me of The Secret Life of Pronouns. 

Ahahahahh keen perception

Because you guys mentioned me I wanted to reply even if not tagged......

@Sugarcoat INFPs are definitely in their head. I was best friends with an INFP for a long time. The question is: what are you in your head about? Are you concerned with how things make you feel, if you like things, how are things important and how do things matter to you - things like that. That's very Fi. 

INFPs get along well with INTJs and INTPs, but they can't take too much of their thinking. They will hang in there as long as the topic is important to them, but as soon as you start talking about nerdy topics they don't care about, they're good for about 20 minutes and then start yawning. They don't want to just think about anything. They want to think about something related to how they feel about something. For example, my INFP friend could listen to me think deeply and talk for hours if the topic was useful for working out some curiosity or interpersonal dynamics or personal life challenges, but as soon as I wanted to tie things back to big picture, systemic stuff, he'd start yawning.

Yeah, I think that's better than taking a test. If you wanted to take a test, try this one: https://personalityhacker.com/products/ph-personality-test

How you know he was INFP??
