Am I INTj or ENTp, please help
Alright... if anyone can help me out with this it would be highly appreciated. My problem is that every time I take a test I come out as INTj (on mbti INTP)... but I feel as if my rough childhood caused me to act quiet, due to constant negative criticism from parents, and school, and freinds (I was an mmigrant and came to the US at age 6), and a lot of diappointment. It seems to me however that I was a lot more outgoing as a kid and extremely spaced out, I also think my hidden agenda is more, to be loved, and I like to invent new things that I can construct. When ever I went to pet an animal as a kid, if it walked away, I would feel extremely ashamed and would turn red (having love taken away?). I have tried doing it via relations and it seems to go both ways since INTj and ENTp are so close. In real life however I seem to see ENTp's as much less distant in terms of understanding, than INTj's. Is there any sure way to test this on the forum?

I always test as intj, too. But on mbti I test as entp, and I think that the mbti description fits me better. The socionics type description for entp is extremely negative . . . it's hard to see anything redeeming there, so I don't feel that it fits for me, but the functional assessment is on target. Go figure.
WOW There is someone else like me .. I was starting to worry
I have taken these test for years, I have had paid professionals, full reports, free internet tests .. colour tests .. you name it ..
I am asking the same question .. INTJ or ENTP .. They both fit me perfectly .. even the opposites .. I was starting to think I REALLY DO HAVE AN ALTER-PERSONALITY!
I also didnt have the greatest childhood, my mum was great, but my stepfather (from like age3) .. well he SERIOUSLY doesnt understand me. I think it is a compensation .. I am not sure whether I am INTJ or ENTP .. but I am definitely both. One I think is real and one is "created" to "get on" with the rest of the world ..
Transigent – Yeh .. good idea, but I am no better off .. The preference of the word EXACTLY is totally dependant on who is asking and exactly how important the information is. I would effectively make a “Judgment” partly based on fact and partly on “Perception” .. You get me?
I know myself, I just do not understand myself very well .. Being understood is a totally different ball game.
The mixing bit, well before I got there I was visualizing the mixing in my head .. it was very pretty .. Anyway, in a different field .. I do both, one precedes the other, but naturally which way round is just a matter of which I think of first .. pot luck .. I have no preference as long as I am interested!
I also nearly burned my house down as a kid .. well I just wanted to know if it was true that cotton burns quickly, so I tried it out on a bed sheet on the radiator .. burned the whole carpet dragging it out and buried in the garden .. well I was only about 6 .. BIG TROUBLE .. mum did try to make up an excuse thou .. (bless ‘er cotton sox) .. (I did get a degree in Textile technology .. so it was all for a great cause!)
I actually believe I am an INTJ, with some form of “connection” with ENTP .. but not sure how you can know .. anyway .. I will continue my search ..
