I have classed myself as an INTJ because I took the MBTI test... However, I'm finding it difficult to define where emotionality ends and logic begins and vice versa. In the past I have classified myself as a HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) INTJ: a rare combination. I'm a stressed, insomniac, depressed, and hormonal teenage female with a family history of mental illness, so it is relatively hard to decide the extent to which biology plays a part and interferes with my preferred functions. I find it difficult to express my emotions in public, but this could be due to my high introversion. I also alternate between chronic extremes of apathy and callousness, in contrast to high sensitivity and compassion. I have no difficulty having emotional discussions with friends, as long as they are well trusted, and it is private / confidential.
My emotions run deep; however I maintain a persistent control over them creating a rational and logical exterior. Nevertheless, they are so extreme I'm prone to bouts of impulsiveness that burst through unwarranted. In this sense, I find that I do have to work through my feelings, but this is in order to enhance my productivity. I crave understanding and I have in the past, spent seven hours of free time on Google just out of curiosity on a subject.
I fear letting my emotions have control over me, yet I also fear ignoring them while they manifest into complexes. Am I at a developing stage where I'm merely learning about self-control? Or is my feeling side too well developed to be a 'thinker'?
Am I Te or Fe?
