Hi. It's my first time in a forum.

Here's my story:

I've always been interested in personality quizzes. I remember taking the 16personalities quiz a while back and just moving on to the next thing without thinking about it very much. Eventually, somehow, I came back to it and decided to learn more about MBTI (I'm an ISTP by the way, even though I've always felt the possibility of INTP looming behind me). I spent a lot of time getting a feel for it on Tumblr, Reddit, Thought Catalogue, etc. (Yes, I know they are noobs but I didn't know any better at the time ). I also learnt a bit about Enneagram and Socionics during that time frame but I was preoccupied with MBTI.

I became more interested in typing people so eventually I ended up on personality-databank. Yes, I know some people there are unbearably obnoxious and judgmental, and the site's unmoderated, but it was here I really started to feel confident typing people in MBTI. It's also what got me into the Enneagram.

I self-typed myself as 5w4. I know any MB type can have any Enneatype, but I still feel paranoid about the whole situation because 5w4 is much more common with INxx than ISxx. Pertaining to instinctual variants I tested out as an sx dom but I typed myself as an sp dom after reading more on the subject. The overlapping traits between all these things confuses me. Anyway, I'm still figuring out how to enneatype people.

Enough about that, onto Socionics. So I took the Sociotype and socionics.com tests and I got SLI-Te (even though the aimtoknow beta-test gave me ILI ). I got more familiar with Socionics on WikiSocion and I felt like I left a bathtub and got into a swimming pool! Now I can think about intertype, quadras, VI, Model A, Reinin dichotomies, subtypes, and all kinds of fun stuff.

Unfortunately, a portion of people on the websites I visited were vocal about how MBTI functions must match Socionics functions. I felt really confused because I still identified more with SLI than an LSI, but then I came here. I found out they were wrong, and I was reassured. It still haunts me in the back of my mind, though. I could use some help confirming my types.

Anyway, that's my intro. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask away.
