In my experience, INTP's are one of the rarest types. It's very often that an individual who tests as an INTP is in actuality a F type who tends to be disregarding personal emotions, or supresses them within themselves, which creates a false image of not being an F type (of which, are not "emotional").

Agreed.

That's why I like to study other personality systems (socionics, the Enneagramm), it gives another perspective.

Anyway, I relate to the Enneagramm much more, and I find the socionics description of the personality types more accurate than those of the MBTI (I think they're based on the same studies, Carl Jung's, but are still different, not sure how they came up with different things though).

Even the decider question, I can say yes to both of them. *sigh*

MBTI is a theory about how you think. Because of that, it's a bit difficult to actually create a tests that accurately tests that. Disconnects form if you have to use manifestations of thinking styles that we have semi-control over. Hence the inaccuracy. A group I was part of online for a while learned how to tell someones MBTI type by body language alone. It's quite interesting that these cognitive functions manifest in particular ways.

Enneagram is a theory about what motivates you, thus is usually a bit easier to test for. However I have found that the best way to determine enneagram is by interviewing someone. Although you have to be interviewed by someone who knows the theory really well.

Socionics is sort of an in between of enneagram and socionics. It's the theory I have studied the least. The difficulity comes from it was developed in russia, and the translation are a bit shotty at best. Nevertheless, this is often best determined by interviewing as well.

I've had my types determined ad nauseum via many many methods. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am:

INFJ (mbti)
1w2 so/sx/sp (enneagram)
LSI/ISTp (socionics)

All 3 together fit me like a glove.

In my experience, nearly 90% of the people that test as INFx (which is not a type) are INFP in the end.
