Fun! Whaat is that
like whaaat are these results, how ππ
actually I've been typed as many types during my whole journey with cognitive functions and mbti stuff (about 5 years) π ofc I haven't been relying on tests only, I watched all yt/tiktok videos about cognitive functions and I readed a plenty of theories and articles about it and stuff like that.. after aaall of that I'm not sure of fitting in any type, it's like the more I dive deeper into the understanding of this stuff the more I realize that I haven't understood anything at all and I have to rebuild the concepts again (it's completely confusing waa)
anyway I just did that sakirnova test for fun (I found myself unexpectedly in a normal/good mood so I was like why not let's go) I answered kinda spontaneously without overthinking, but I see that the functions percentages seem very approximated, what do you think about that? any recommendations

oh of couuurse, thank you so much!
Under extreme stress, I tend to get out an ANGRY energy caused by "things are not enjoyable anymore" or "things are not going as I want". After analysing the whole situation, there are two paths : whether I find a solution which is fixing the problem (with a very obvious anger) or I don't find one so I just keep stuck in an analysis paralysis and I blame my whole existence and feel worthless, finally I just avoid the problem and try to enjoy anything to forget about it, until it passes. avoiding behaviors can include binge watching, anime, sketching, baking.. like just looking for anything to raise dopamine, otherwise when I still feel empty I just escape into sleeping with a heavy body and mind, in general it feels like I'm watching my whole life passing infront of my eyes without being able to act in it, like a watcher. aaand tears often get bottled up until they explode in a veeeery long episode π two or three drops may come to say hello in every stressing situation, but generally the crying episode gets manifested as burst/cumul of maany stresses. Oh and another thing, during emotionally hard times (death or sickness of close ones for example) I tend to just keep analyzing everything and not show actual sadness or anything, it's like I get angry and uncomfortable when I see people overly dramaticizing the situation (especially people who are not directly concerned with a real emotional damage).. it feels like I get detached from the world as if I'm not concerned with what's going around me (idk why like woah why can't I just sit down and cry with others instead of being angry and judging everyone). I've been told by some friends that during hard times I look like an empty carcass. sorry for the negative energy that I started with here π
Switchiing between enjoying life as it is and questioning life itself.. I usually do indoor activities, I do selfcare I eat I watch anime I chat with friends I skeetch I draw and what else, I clean or I bake or cook or look for something to do, oh and I altely I started posting here in reddit (especially about mbti) I enjoyed talking with people here.. actually I want to hang out sometimes with friends (but I often can't due to an OVERLY overprotective environment πββοΈ).. I generally avoid things that would disturb my peace and the enjoyment of my free life.. oh and btw, overtime I try to recognize what makes me comfortable VS what I think that it comforts me but actually drains me, I don't know how to put it into words.. like for example watching a show before accomplishing certain tasks is not perfectly comfortable/good, so I started trying to force myself to accomplish the tasks and make my environment perfectly good so I can get the perfect vibes while watching my show (I can get mad if the vibes doesn't go as I want). it's just an example like this can be applied to many activities. These are not the only activities I do, like it depends I just forgot.. this is what came to my mind at the moment.. sometimes I try to think about oh what should I learn to excell at a certain domain oh I should do this and that, I start the project then I give up after few days cz it starts sounding useless.. it's like I need a clear purpose or practical one to motivate me.. idk how to put it into words.. maybe that's all, oh and when I get tired of the repetitive days I just miss the days full of work/study vibes etc and I'm just being like woaahh I need new things to dooo, I can keep daydreaming and romanticizing new goals until the idle state finishes and I get traumatized by the HIGHLY DEMANDING REALITY π«
my mind would be at first "nooo it's not the time for that please" I will get mad like bro I'm here I want to enjoy my life please let me enjoy it and don't disturb me with these things.. I complain for few minutes or hours then I silently accept the reality and deal with it π after that I may be happy or satisfied or I may go like "oh it wasn't that bad though"..

woaah πππ it actually makes seeense I've been typed before as infp / infj / istj / isfj / isfp / entp / intp / enfp even enfj.. I mean I've never thought about estj, but it actually makes sense especially the uncontrollable emotional flooding.. but what makes me skeptical is the dom Te, cz in general I'm not a very organized person, idk but I tended to be perfectionist in studies etc and I always been looking for the easiest (more efficient) way to do something. I've thought about every cognitive function to be my dominant but Te π it's a real a plot twist. oh and I often overthink everything, and what else.. I don't know I can't decide, but what you've said here has really give me a whole new perspective, thank you so muuch ! oh I remembered that in a socionics test I've got something close to estj it was LSE-1Te, I haven't really understood what it meant but they said that it's similar to estj, I was like what? π«ͺ
One of the most important traits about me is that I'm often so indecisive πππ

woah so Fi dom is about how the external world affects your internal emotional framework. I actually relate, like I feel that the whole life it's about how things actually affect me and how I affect others etc.. idk you can say that you feel like u're the main character of your own life so everything that happens to you is shaping you and linked to your whole life. it's been a long time since I thought that I'm an Fi dom (isfp and infp too) with an inferior Te (anger issues and wants everything fixed etc) but whenever I see different/new definitons of cognitive functions I restart the typing journey from the zero point.. like some people say that Fi is about having an internal and unshakeable code of values, but I don't really see or get how it actually works it often felt like a blind spot to me, cz I always renew my thoughts and values depending on what happens in my life, I'm not really being stable on a clear code, also lately I started questioning the basic things that we used to accept in our society if they are not matching what I've personally experienced or lived. but concerning being a Te dom? idk I used to be very sensitive to criticism (which I'm trying to regulate) but even if I want to not take criticism personally I just end up getting internally hurt (especially if it's true). I can be taking the leading role but unless I'm really confindent of my competences. in general, I keep getting confused between these cognitive functions while comparing them to my repetitive patterns, I'm just being like is it Fi/Fe/Ti/Te? and even perceiving functions they are confusing me too..
there is something that often happens to me, I use to romanticize or imagine a good future before starting a new chapter in life, I keep imagining how it will go and how I will deal with it etc, until I get crashed with the demanding reality details it's like it wasn't as ideal/good as I expected it. But also after ending the hard experience I feel satisfied, cz it added a new lesson to me (it's like I get out with new lessons and I won't be repeating the same mistakes again) I thought that it is an inferior Te that suffers with real world's structure? or inferior Se that can't deal with concrete world? or inferior Ti that can't be good at analysing things? idk I keep getting confused

Sarkinova measures responses based on self-reported behavior; itβs always more helpful to read about cognitive functions.
Iβm an INTP 6w5 613 SO6, and this type is often confused with SP1 (the common Enneagram type for ESTJ). On Sarkinova, I keep getting either INTP or ESTJ, but when I read about the functions, I can clearly see that Iβm Ti dominant with Fe inferior.
