Worst possible cognitive set for an INFP

I think I have the worst possible cognitive set, and I'm an INFP, believe it or not.

1. Ni
2. Si
3. Ti
4. Ne
5. Fe
6. Te
7. Fi
8. Se

Perhaps I'm running on my shadow functions constantly,
and that's why I'm so fucked in the head.

Cognitive says I'm INFJ > ISFJ > ENFJ.
Extravert is out of the question since I'm
between 90% and 100% Introvert,
so that leaves me as INFJ over ISFJ.

MBTI says I'm INFP (x10 times) > INTP (x5 times) > INTJ (x2 times)

Some people tell me I'm INFP.
Some people tell me I'm ISFJ.
Some people tell me I'm INFJ.

I can relate to all of them,
but in this order
INFP > INFJ > INTJ > INTP > ISFJ.

And as some know, who's seen my picture, I'm an exact copy of Jeff Buckley
(way I look, way I move, talk, and so on, but I'm in a constant dark-side mode,
never to show off my soft side to anyone).

How did you decide to put them in that order? Is there an online cognitive functions test (haven't been able to find one), or is that just a rough estimate of what order they're in?

Test scores. I did the test four times within a months period, and it only changed every so slightly. Ni and Si conquered all, but in reality I'm Fi dominant (INFP). I just so happen to undermine and ignore my dominant function every single day, which leaves me feeling lost and dead inside.

Don't rely on the test - it is very inaccurate. Read about functions yourself and decide which ones you can relate to the most. When deciding which ones you possess, evaluate your behavior holistically, not over 1 instance, but the most common most comfortable most likely behavior/mindset for you:

Something about your eyes gives the impression of INFJ, even though I'm being very unconventional in saying that. I've just noticed something particular about INFJs and the language of their eyes. Whatever your type, you seem like a great guy, don't stress on the types and functions...they can never pinpoint the human soul - let yours revel in the individuality you are imbued with

Supposedly, Ni comes out in INFPs in a time of great stress/trauma. (It was pretty dominant in most of my childhood.) Ti is supposed to be transformational for us.

As Vel said, study the functions; don't rely on an online test. The one you reference typed me as ENFP. Absolutely NO ONE would mistake me for an ENFP.
