> My question is - how accurate is e-typing when the personality is dysfunctional?
All e-types are dysfunctional manifestations to varying degrees. Can you be a little more specific?
Does one become more purely 'who' they are when dysfunctional, or less so?
No.
Is it relevant?
Not in my view.
> As an example, I type out as a 4w5, however I wonder if this is because I've got some serious, ahem, issues that I am delving into. This delving, by definition, causes one look at themselves with extreme criticality, a 4-ish trait.
Could be. But, 4's always are delving into issues when they're entranced in the 4 mode. What are like when you're not delving into these "issues"? OUnless you're always delving into them.
