Kriston, this bugged me to. Through a weird series of events, I went hiking with be an eminent Jungian analyst a few weeks ago. I drilled him on this whole issue because my type has been hard to pin down. He told me that as we get older we learn to compensate for our weaknesses making it hard to always tell what your original type is. He pegged me for a "true" ENFP, even though I test as a INFJ. He asked me if I was organized (that goes more with INFJ) and I told him about all my lists. He said that the way I am organized is probably as a compensitory mechanism for my inherant disorganized ENFP nature. I had learned to be organized, so I would look less ENFP-ish. But in my core I was still really ENFP.
If this is true, then the kid version may actually be your "truer" nature, but we mature, and get more well-rounded as we get older. Which is a good thing!
