I took a functions test and am thoroughly confused.
I consider my type to be INFP, but the functions say otherwise...
Ne - 47
Ti - 41
Ni - 40
Fe - 32
Fi - 28
Te - 19
Si - 17
Se - 14
Can a reserved, quiet and private person (...me?) have an extroverted dominant function?
I'm kind of perturbed that I scored higher on Fe than Fi. The Fi questions on that test seemed kind of stupid and I don't know it's a bad test or if I actually believe Fi is an invalid/lame function. Or maybe I'm just deluding myself and my Fi values logic too much and doesn't want to project the image of a very emotional person. INFPs are supposedly concerned with values, values, values, values this, values that... I question my values to the point that I don't know what they are at all. I am not driven by values.
I've read ENTP descriptions and they don't relate at all to me like INFP descriptions do. I have friends who've scored ENTP on the test and although I think they're great and like being around them, I don't behave like them in the least.

This is the test...
I'm guessing these are Fi questions:
13. Remain in touch with what you want for yourself, what motivates you, and what is good.
(I have no idea what I want for myself, no idea what motivates me, and no idea what is "good" or even what the term "good" means. I think maybe my prime motivator is building deep emotional bonds with people I care about. I'm trying to figure all those things out, which is why I joined this forum... doesn't the notion of remaining in touch with what is good seem stupid if I can't even define "good"?)
25. Always remain true to what you want for yourself or others.
(I haven't figured that out yet...)
36. Evaluate what is worth believing in and most important to who you really are inside.
(but who am I inside...? sob...)
I wonder if I'm a really emotional INTP or some kind of mysterious logical (???) INFP...
but most of all, I wonder if any of this personality typology mumbo jumbo matters at all or if it's just an interesting way to kill time... I mean, most people take the MBTI, graze over the description of the type they tested as, agree or disagree and move on with their lives to do more productive things, and yet here we all are...
