This is how I think it works: suppose you have an ESTp with an INFj parent. Now, what happens is I think that over time, the ESTp is "molded" into a form that the parent can easily deal with, but is still overly critical of.
So, they may become ENTp-acting, because the parent supresses the natural Extraverted Sensing.
Also, the person will seem introverted. (And they may test as the same type as thier conflicting parent.)
Thus, they will type themselves as an "Introverted" ENTp, they will feel give off a "feel" of ISTj...but thier true type is ESTp!
