Are all of my functions developed really good?

Typicaly, the dominant function is the only function that would be easly to use daily, while secondary is from occasion, third would stress you out eventualy.

That's not the case with me, I find both my dominant and secondary to be easy to use, while the third for me is the function that I may use for "ocassion" (Instead of stressing me out).

I can just easly swap and use all of my 4 functions effectively, I can easly relate to others like Fi, I use my imagination/ideas well like Ne could (Or Ni, those both are very very similar to each other), I can easly be critical, objective and argumentative just like Te, and I always welcome nostalgia and comfort with open arms like Si.

So as you see, being alone for a long time can bore me off, just as interaction can get draining sometimes for me.

And thats so far what makes me confused about my type, I could easly resemble both ENFP, INFP, heck I do could also be more of a "quirky" ISTJ, ESTJ or INTJ.

And well, that's why I have hard time determining my MBTI type.

EDIT: Yeah I know. The thread title is terrible, it should have been "Are all of my functions developed really good?", unfortunately the forums does not allow you to edit the title of the thread.

My own personal theory is that it's not about that but function stacking gives you more or less control over these mental processes. That's why the dominant function usually comes naturally but the inferior can come out when stressed or it can overwhelm you.

Cognitive functions aren't the same as ability. The human brain is a bit too complex to see it that way. We're made up of a thousand different interdependent systems. Personality type is an attempt to predict in what order these processes are generally used in most situations.

It's also not really true that intuition is the same as imagination. If you have Ne, that means that you have a cognitive process that extrapolates from known information. That's not the same as imagination.

So... the only thing I can say to your question is: it's complicated.

Firstly, you're misunderstanding the functions.
Uh, how it works then?

Secondly, when someone does relate to all functions, they often tend to be dominant intuitive types.
Ni or Ne? And secondary function position counts too?

Given your mistaking yourself between INFP and INTJ, to suddenly conclude NTP
Gotta say no, all four of your functions are not developed
You obviously are mistyping because you are outta touch with whatever is truly your predominant and weakest function.

Clearly you have VERY little Ni or Ne

I would guess you are ISFx

Jung mentions in his work that dominant thinking and inferior feeling can be hard to distinguish, because both can be terribly developed in individual.

Actualy, ISFJ could be an option (I actualy think I'm an ISFJ), however I find the "Gotta say no, all four of your functions are not developed" a little bit flawed, I'm 20 years old, and at that age you should already have third developed function (which means you already have 3 developed functions), from what I know.
