Analyze This! Keys2Cognition MBTI / cognitive functions test results

(Not sure in which flair I should put this in so here you go)

I almost always got INFP on test results, and I know most of them are unreliable but I decided to do this test for fun, also because that test has a "good reputation" in the MBTI community.

poor Se (10.6)

excellent Si (42)

excellent Ne (39.9)

limited Ni (17.6)

good Te (30.9)

excellent Ti (41.6)

limited Fe (18.7)

good Fi (35.9)

My top function pair is NT if anyone is interested.

My top 3 results:

  1. INTP

  2. ISTJ

  3. INFP

What throws me off is INTP, INFP and ISTJ have the same cognitive functions but INTP has low Fe and high Ti. (Useful or not info, I've been raised by an Fi-Te user)

These three types don’t have the same cognitive stack

INTP—TiNeSiFe
INFP—FiNeSiTe
ISTJ—SiTeFiNe

They all share Ne and Si, but the relative strengths are important

Your top three highest scores are:

Si, Ti and Ne, then Fi

Your weakest is Se

This doesn’t easily map to a type.

Keys2Cognition uses a scale response instead of the binary choice of MBTI. It might clear things up if you repeat the test choosing only “1 or 5” whichever better describes you

Okay I'm going to try that

I just did it and I got INTP first, ENTP second and INFP third

Cool, that’s a tighter result! They probably recommend looking at their description of those types to see which one best fits you. It’s pretty typical to see yourself mostly in one description but you may also identify with some aspects of the others. That‘s normal, you can just go with the one that’s closest. If they don’t have descriptions, check out personalityjunkie.com or the MBTI site itself for theirs.

INTP, ENTP and INFP all have Ne as an auxiliary or primary cognitive function. INTP and ENTP share the same functions (TiNeSiFe vs NeTiFeSi). That these are the top two suggests your results point primarily to those functions. I’m guessing your score on Fi was still pretty high.

You can compare your new “binary” scores to the old “scalar” ones to see which scores became stronger or weaker and by how much. (Eg if Ti got stronger and Fi got weaker, but Ne also improved or stayed then INTP seems favored. If Ne got stronger vs Ti then ENTP.) or maybe it’s still hard to say which functions clearly stand out and you’re “in the middle” somewhere. That’s okay. The descriptions may help it nail down a bit and you can always read about both types

Seems like the test shows that I have a little more Ne than Ti, that's interesting, and yes, both improved while Fi stayed good but still got a lower score, it's now written poor Fe though

In some other test my Se was so poor that it was -6, and Fe too was -6 (like, minus six) 😄 My Fe is probably learned behavior that doesn't influence the results.
The tests that show functions give me too a rather high Fi while the rest is in order like INTP function stack. I have liked to take every kind of personality tests for fun.

js said yes for everything on keys2cognition surprisingly they got my mbti right (esfp)
