Hi!
I have read the function descriptions, and I am certain I value Ni and Se. I also think I value Fe and Ti. I relate a lot to Ti descriptions, but can't really tell what type I am, other than that I am a Beta. How can I decide what my type is?

IEE
ok you've tried functions.
What if you try dichotomies:
Close to the bottom of the screen of the following links, are the types.

Sensing and intuition - Wikisocion

Depends who you ask. Friends would say crazy, stubborn, capable, fun, lazy, happy. The people I work with would say fair, hard-working, skilled. Positive feedback I've been given: Intelligent, can manage anything, super-nice. Negative feedback I've been given: Insensitive, bitchy, impatient, over-reactive.
My best friend, the only one who knows me well, says: Charged, ambitious, image conscious, lost, warm, guarded, friendly, talkative, spontaneous, morbid, fierce, soft, strong, sensitive to the point of hypersensitivity, always tinkering with mental concepts, capable, intense, decisive, falls into addictions serially, emotionally variable (quick-tempered), complex.

I'll comment on each, and maybe you see what I apparently don't.
Typical characteristics
Extraverted types
1. Psychic energy more often flows outwards. Not even sure what this means? I kind of just look around and think a lot without normally focusing on anything, except if I have a specific task to solve, like at work. Then I just go for it and solve it. Normally, I do nothing, or rather, do a lot of random stuff on a whim.
2. Energy level increases when interacting with a large group of people. Depends. I can easily be center of attention if I feel like it, in informal settings, like a night out. But most of the time I avoid people, and in more formal settings, like family dinners, I'm the typical person who just sits there and am asocial. Too much effort to interact for no reason, kind of. I am more lively around people I don't know who I can just leave behind the same night than around people I know. Except for really close friends, who I am relaxed around.
3. Energy level decreases when they are alone. Not sure. I sometimes do nothing and sometimes do loads both with people around and when I'm alone.
4. Energy level is generally higher. Higher than others? No idea. I can be both passive and high, depending on what interests me in the moment.
5. More often focused on their surroundings. Maybe. I notice quite a lot of what's going on, I think, but I can also be self-absorbed and only think about how I relate to things around me.
6. Tend to be more active and initiating. Probably a bit more than most.
7. Often make new friends easily. I have very few friends. I don't care to pull around a lot of people. Too much to keep track of, and I'm not really that interested in most people. People tend to be annoyed with me for not caring enough about them, and for not asking questions. I interact with whoever is around in the moment, and don't remember what they told me the next time we meet, so I never ask "how did things go with ....". Some people dislike it.
8. Often better at presenting themselves. I can sell myself when needed, like for a job or something.
9. Often prefer to work in a team. I like to work in teams if people are focused. I hate when people are goofing around or spend too much time on socializing. I am probably double standarded here, cause I am not always very focused, commenting on people looking too serious. I often take charge, but if people know what they are doing, I like leaning back and leave them in charge, too. I hate working for/with stupid people.
Introverted types
1. Psychic energy more often flows inwards. Not sure. What does it mean?
2. Energy level increases when they are alone.
3. Energy level decreases when interacting with a large group of people.
4. Energy level is generally lower.see comments above
5. More often focused on their thoughts and feelings.I do focus on my thoughts and feelings, I guess? I find that people focusing on their feelings by telling me that "I don't want you to do that, cause I don't like ....." are selfish bastards that should be shot. They stop me by making me feel guilty, and I hate being guilttripped cause it works.
6. Tend to be more passive, less initiating.
7. Often do not have many friends.see comments above
8. Often better at concentrating. I can focus when in a hurry. Most of the time I prefer to just take it easy.
9. Often prefer to work alone. depends what must be done. I often find other people incapable unfocused idiots just moving in all directions at once, but if people either do what I tell them OR are capable on their own, I like working with them. Company of friends is always nice, though, so I can easily work with a friend watching me.
Sensing types
1. More realistic and down-to-earth. I don't know? I can do whatever I want whenever I want it, but I think a lot of people see me as "crazy" in a spaced-out sense. Not sure I understand this one?
2. Rather notice details than the big picture. I do both. And I do it consciously. I want both the big picture to add up and the details. Talking about practical projects here, so maybe that means details and down-to-earth...?
3. More focused on their surroundings, living in the here and now. I focus on myself, on things that should be done (work, private projects, etc) and mostly on what I do now and here. No idea how I differ from others?
4. More naturally comfortable with physical confrontations. I have no problems with physical confrontations.
5. Often more interested in practice than in theory. Theory is only interesting when it promises to have practical application.
Intuitive types
1. More idealistic and head-in-clouds. I have ideals for myself, I guess. Often just wander off into space when I am bored with people. Uncommitted in a way, I guess.
2. Rather see the big picture than the details. Both, I think.
3. More focused on ideas than on surroundings. Not sure? I like ideas that can explain something around me.
4. Less naturally comfortable with physical confrontations.
5. Often more interested in theory than in practice. See above.
Ethical types
1. More often make decisions based on their own feelings. Not sure? I make decisions of importance based on what's "best", but that is probably subjective. Also, I do whatever I want, most of the time, so that's my feelings, or maybe not? Not sure I knwo what they mean with feelings in this?
2. Rather talk about ethical evaluations ("good or bad"). Sometimes, but maybe less than others? I hate people who judge others as "bad", when really, good and bad are just words they use to distance themselves from what they don't understand or which seems to differ from their moral concepts.
3. Frequently better at solving interpersonal problems. I doubt it. I seem to solve problems at work better than provlems in relationships. But I am not afraid of confronting people when I feel they have a problem with me, or if I have a problem with them. I want to solve things immediately, preferably before there is a conflict.
4. More often have problems with finding logical solutions. Don't think so? However, I can't figure out my type, so who knows?
5. Tend to prefer persuasion over argumentation. Instinctively I want to say no. But then again, I always win a discussion...
6. More vulnerable to "logical" manipulation. What is logical manipulation?
Logical types
1. More often make decisions based on logical reasons. Not sure?
2. Rather talk about logical evaluations ("right or wrong"). YES!
3. Frequently interested in systems, structures and patterns. I think so.
4. More often have interpersonal problems. Yeah. I'm seen as uncommitted.
5. Tend to prefer argumentation over persuasion. See above.
6. More vulnerable to "ethical" manipulation. Possibly. If it means to guilttrip me, then yeah, it hurts.
Rationals
(Also called shizotymes in early socionics literature)
1. Tend to plan ahead, make decisions early. I make decisions late. As in as late as possible to not slow down processes. I plan, but change my plans until the last minute.
2. Are more often rigid and stubborn. I am normally super-flexible, but I can be rigid about my own boundaries and I am infamous for being stubborn about what I want to do. If I don't want to do something, NOTHING can move me.
3. Do not like to change their decisions. Depends what decisions they are, I guess? I hate when people promise things and don't do what they promise.
4. Tend to finish what they started. I tend to make it look like I finish what I start, haha.
5. Usually have stiff movements. No. I am a cat.
6. Usually more 'authoritarian' leadership style. If in a hurry, I am a dictator. The rest of the time, I am cool.
7. Low stress tolerance. Not sure? I have a lot of stress in my life, but I think most people would fall apart a long time before I would. I never give up.
Irrationals
(Also called cyclotymes in early socionics literature)
1. Tend to wait and see, more spontaneous. Yeah, that sounds a lot like me.
2. Are more often flexible and tolerant. Yes.
3. Change their decisions frequently. Yes.
4. Tend to start new things without finishing them. Yes.
5. Usually have gentle movements. Soft, at least.
6. Usually more 'democratic' leadership style. Usually yes, when not impatient and surrounded by idiots.
7. High stress tolerance. I seem to create stress for myself...

I find it conceptually backwards that you would know what you value before you have even a vague idea of your Jungian dichotomies.
Since we have no information about you whatsoever, how about you answer some questions. A video answer would be best, but a typed out response is better than nothing.
Why do you feel you identify with beta values?
What specific parts of the descriptions do you identify with?
What do you consider your strengths as a person? Weaknesses?
What are some of your hobbies? Pet Peeves?
What are some of your favorite books/movies/TV shows? Why?
Describe your basic personality.
