Hi, I am a 4w3 and I not only can't relate, I'm not even sure I understand (please, I'm really not being flippant). I know human beings are complex, multifaceted creatures but isn't this really too much? I mean jumping around from INFJ and INTJ and 4w5 to 5w4 depending on your drive or instinctual needs. Simplify! My theory is that the best route to any understanding is to state something in the simplest terms possible, including our very complex selves. We have too many layers and if you start looking at all the layers, all at once you'll just end up going round in circles.
: I am very interested learning more about instinctual subtypes: self-preserving, social, and sexual. I feel that my question of whether I am a 5w4 or 4w5 is dependent on whether my instinctual needs or drive is assuaged. I am a very happy 4w5 and an intensely searching from behind a veil 5w4.
: I am INFJ, and so logically see myself as a 4 with dominant introverted intuition, but I act like an INTJ when my instinctual needs are not met and so pose as a 5. Can anyone else relate to this???
