: 1) INFJ's have a more highly developed Perceiving function than INFP's do... I'm sure you know that. Spontaneous, indecisive INFJ's and scheduled, decisive INFP's are usually highly introverted: their auxiliary extraverted function, which determines the last letter of their M-B type, is underdeveloped, and overwhelmed by their primary introverted function. When I was younger, I was as much a dominant Ni with inferior Si as I am now, but my auxiliary Fe was less developed. I was the typical aimless slob. Nearly every day of school, I lost my pencil and had to replace it. My locker, like my bedroom, was filled to capacity with crumpled papers, loose change, and even broken glass. Not until I developed my auxiliary Fe Judgment during mid-to-late adolescence did I master the arts of decisiveness and structuring.

: 2) Must a Judger function indicate a scheduled nature in the first place? The T and F functions are marked by decisiveness. Whether this decisiveness leads to a scheduled mindset is somewhat more arbitrary.

: 3) Why not solve the problem by just leaving the J and P out? They don't seem to matter to you much anyway; in your interpretation, they seem disconnected from the T/F and S/P functions, and they're only leading to overcomplicated confusion. Just say "INF" for INFJ, and "IFN" for INFP. I've seen people do this, and it's a more concise way of expressing the types anyhow.

Exactly. Except my designations would be different than yours. I wouldnt leave J and P out as they are demonstrable psychological facts. My designations would be different than yours. We would have iNf-J inF-J
iNf-P and inF-P
To recaptitulate you can tell your dominant function only be realizing your weakest function. I may be infp whichin the books is by definition dominant introverted feeling but subjectively I can tell without any doubt that my weakest function is Sensation not thinking. This makes Intuition dominant at least in me
