Ok. And I definitely considered the possibility of being an ENFP, just to make sure... but I guess the wild card might not have fit this time.

As for the spectrum idea, it was in reference to my earlier post about S/N T/F border... it was some idea that was instilled while we were learning about MBTI (back in high school). I meant spectrum as in the ability to use all 8 functions depending on different circumstances; that it's not matter of being stuck on one or the other... but I guess there was a bit of misunderstanding; my teacher at the time had used the term "spectrum", and it just stuck with me since then.

Thanks for the definition... I do remember reading that the "intutive" function is irrational, and this tend to be very difficult for INTJs because they're trying to scientifically prove an "irrational" thought with evidence... in some aspect, I have to be irrational because nothing is concrete absolute truth. Nah, I've never been able to put everything into neat little boxes; there are too many factors to put them in the "said boxes" and label them to my satisfaction. It's not that black and white. When I clean, I do try to compartmentalize to my best abilities even if it's going to change later... so you can say, I attempt to be a rational (very bad joke)... but this very fact makes me very indecisive on certain things, and I end up wondering if I am J or P.

I don't think I really have trouble accepting the NT aspect, just the IJ aspect of the INTJ; I wonder if those four letter really are what I truly prefer or whether I subjectively think I prefer.

**I don't know that you answered my other question about what makes you Atypical from other INTJs....?
What makes me atypical, would be my ability to be interact well in a social setting. A lot of the descriptions for INTJ's make one think of such individuals as "robotic" almost, and because I've never met another INTJ in person there is no verification of my type being correct or whether I am mistyped. I think the way I acted like an ESFP (or a crazy Extraverted kid) in social settings when I was a teenager confused me a lot in trying to type myself.

**What are you not yet comfortable with around that pattern? (Or is it simply a dislike of limitation, and choosing *any* pattern means limitations you are disinclined to accept?)
I don't think I am uncomfortable with being INTJ, just that I'm not sure if this is the perfect fit, and whether there is another four-letter match where I can say with confidence "this is exactly how I function, 100%", like some INTJ's do when they are exposed to MBTI. Furthermore, INTJ being described as "mastermind" also makes me wonder, whether I warrant such title just for preferring to use Ni and Te more than S/F.

I know I do use Fi (while I'm not always sure that I am using it, it should provide some basis for some of my decisions, I would think), just not as good at it as some of my friends are.

Your questions did make sense, and I thought I answered them, but maybe my answers didn't sound like an answer. I hope they all made sense... if not, I guess you can tell me what confuses you and I could try to clarify.
