I think you are ontopic here Jamie, glad that you enjoy typetalk.
Before I try painting a picture, I want to check if the "I" is right. Since you are a P (60% is plenty) then I would predict your Main strength to by your "N" - so it fits that you are a "I" if the 2nd strenght of "F" is what is shown to the world, and the "N" is held inside. Which strength to you feel is your earliest/best? The N or the F?
2nd way to test I vs. E, is 'if you were feeling low, and needed more energy, would you be alone or seek out beloved people to recharge?
Lets figure out the I vs. E question first -

The best answer I can give is to say I think my strength is "N". The "F" is partially a strength and partially my kryptonite. I don't hold back totally, but if I feel there is too much risk of affecting someone negatively by saying something, I do.
About 15 years ago, I was very well versed in the M-B stuff, but I haven't done much with it recently. Having done this type of analysis on myself, I sometimes over think it and find it difficult to be entirely objective in answering your questions.
One thing about being a fairly extreme NFP, is it comes with the ability to self diagnose and heal, so I rarely have an opportunity to know what it is like to feel low. As they say, us NFPs are often well liked, but they fail to mention we attract a lot of people who should probably be talking to a psychologist. I find I have to be careful not to end up with a lot of these people following me around and forming a dependency.
I think I am in many ways an ENFP as I like to try new things all the time. This includes meeting new people, although I like to form long term close friendships with a small number. As my social life tends to be very dynamic, I tend to disappear from the less close people's lives for long periods of time and occasionally reappear. This is how I learned about this dependency issue. Fortunately, nothing really bad came out of it, but it scared me a bit.
My interests plus my desire to go very deep (all the way) into them requires a fair amount of time. For this reason, I do spend a fair amount of time outside a social life. I don't feel any strong dependency for people other than my own child. Does this make me an intravert or just someone with big goals? At the same time, I have often taken very intraverted people along with me on one of my extraverted rides. Does this make me an extravert or someone who has learned how to open up to the world and wants to help others do the same?
