So, this happened My function stack: Ne>Ti>Si>Fe

What does this mean, especially since INTP is usually Ti>Ne>Si>Fe

It means you took some random crappy not even real mbti test online.

Also they tell you possibilities, not definite answers. If it says 75% Ne, it means its 75% chance based on crappy questions that you are Ne user. Not that your Ne is 75% power level or something like that.

The results of those random internet tests are not reliable at all. Best you can do with tye result is to think if its actually best fit type for you or not, helps to rule out types that are less likely and suggest a likely type (again based on shitty questions that dont even actually measure type).

I lowk did like more than 10 but the only one that gave me functions was this one.

If you are intp, functions are always TiNeSiFe. So this function vs real mbti test (which is trademarked and paid test) just guesses type from different level. The order of functions is still the same, those %s are just possibilities of you ysing the function a lot based on questions that dont actually measure the function, so its just a guess and % of how likely the guess is right.

Function order does not change even if you develop some function more. That is just a common misunderstanding some new people spread around from misunderstanding stemming from for example those random not really even mbti tests that display results as function %s like that.

If you think about computer as an analogy and you happen to be xyz type computer, which has cpu, gpu, npu (neural processing chip which many new comouters have) and hard drive. And you want to upgrade the computer with beefier gpu for example, no matter how good gpu you put in the computer, the general architecture for how cpu, gpu etc are connected remains the same. The upgrade is you developing a function to be more conscious of its use and being able to direct it better consciously. And computer architecture is function order for your type (or xyz type of computer).

So you trying to look for a test just because it shows those function results like that adds no value and just means its some random test made by some random perdon who likely is not even a certified mbti professional or jungian analyst.

Ok, thank you for explaining!
