Help narrowing down sociotype
Alright, so I already filled out the member questionnaire earlier but I think I was too self aware of how my answers related to my type and I biased myself towards IEI. I'm going to start off by stating what I'm 99% certain of and give you some of descriptions of myself. (I have no way of providing VI at this moment).
I am an INTP in MBTI and am most likely an enneagram 5w4 sp/sx. I considered e4 and e9 for awhile but after deep thought I came to the conclusion I was mostly likely over-analysising and had it right the first time with e5. Physically I'm probably the skinniest tallest person you would have seen, at 6'5 140lbs. I've got a bit of a jew fro (I'm not actually jewish, I'm atheist) and moderate dark circles under eyes.
In school I easily passed most subjects though I hated having to go to school in the first place. I don't place much value at all an expanding my social network and even take a little pride in being a loner. Still a virgin, never even interacted with females very much at all with anything except for with mom of course. I spend the vast majority of my time either playing video games, looking up random things on the internet or listening to music (liquid DnB, chillstep, and video games OSTs are my type of music). I also greatly enjoying traveling to wild places/the beach, however I lack confidence in organizing and more so executing such events myself and usually rely on others to make such things possible. My family consist of my LSI brother whom I share many similar interest with, my SEI mother whom does things that I appreciate but also annoys me with a lot of minor things, and my LSE step father who always tries to get me to do work for him and we occasionally get into a verbal quarrel.
Now I going to discuss the sociotypes I am torn between and I why think I might and might not be that type. For starters and 99.9% certain I am an INxx type. I easily identify as an introvert and an intuitive. The only extraverted type that has even a sliver of chance is ILE, but again, very unlikely. The only INxx type I can safely rule out is INFj because I've seen the heavily moral judgemental attitude of this type has and don't relate to it at all. So that leaves us with INTj, INFp. and INTp.
INTj
Why I might be this type: This is the type I thought I was originally and usually get on test get on test.(If I don't get INTp) The main reason I believe I might be this type is because of my ease of understanding most concepts(Ti leading), which I know is true since others often seem to struggle at understanding things that come natural to me. People around me, if they give praise, is always about how smart I am. I can relate to alot of Se polr things such as hating being forced to do things and being insecure about my own physical strength. I'm very receptive to displays of kindness which could be Fe suggestive. When I look at Renin Dichotonomies and follow them INTj fits the most. Physical descriptions of INTjs also fit me.
Why I might not: While I relate alot to Se polr, I could also see it as the suggestive function since action and thrills has an intoxicating effect on me. I also skeptical of some parts of being Fe suggestive, since I dislike people who are overly bubbly and sure as hell hope they they don't expect me to join in on their stupidity. I don't relate to being a "work-aholic", in fact I'm more lazy then most. Si also fits better as the role function then mobilizing, while I understand the importance of health, I generally don't care about it any further then necessary requirements.
INFp
The main basis for the possibility of being IEI is how I relate to the members of my family and relating alot to being Ni ego. I get along best with LSI brother, indifferent with SEI mother and conflict prone with LSE step father (I've also had some conflicts with my SLE biological father FYI). I think tons about the past and daydream all the time. I could be Te polr in much how I hate doing mundane work and being productive. I relate to the unseriousness of INFps and given the right conditions love to fool around.
Why I might not: I very doubtful about being an Fe ego as I care very little about creating positive social atmosphere, I much rather just withdraw and follow my own interest. I'm very uncomfortable expressing strong emotions and surpress them most of the time. While I relate to the laziness part of Te polr, I've have no problem gathering facts from external sources such as books. I don't relate much with most socionics descriptions of INFps, the Ni-sub sounds possible but if I am I would have to be on the far, far end of it. I don't give one flying f**k about poetry of creating art.
INTp
The strongest reason for possibility of being INTp is how combines the logical strength I relate to with INTj with the aspects of Ni that relate to with INFp. Fi also comfortably fits as the HA function since I secretly want "To love" but hide this from others. I'm lost in virtual space like alot of INTps tend to be. The Ni- sub descriptions fits well though I don't relate to the Te-sub at all. I am extremely aware the past and how events are likely to unfold.
Why I might not: While I believe my Fe is weak, I wouldn't go as far to say its my polr. As said above I love displays of kindness just as long as it doesn't go overboard with bubbliness. I'm not critical of others with others with anything except for the quality of food. In fact I hate the excessive criticism of others. Again, as said above, I'm not much concerned with the Te ascepts of things like productivity.
Well that's enough for now. I'd really appreciate some input about what you think is most likely. Questions intended to help narrow down my type are more than welcome.
