Latest test said I was ISTP. I think I have high Ni so feel like the Ni score was wrong but also Idk I could also see myself as an ST.

About me:

I'm described as being reserved/quiet.

I really enjoy certain sports, handball, dodgeball, kickboxing, or any general rough housing or competitive activity where you can prove your physical abilities, It's like I flip on a switch of being very competitive and loud and very easily excitable when I play such sports.

I don't usually act until I feel like it (I'm not irresponsible though), and if I feel like acting, then I'm quick to act and can be impatient. If I'm not acting I like spending time relaxing passively. I dislike too much planning, I'll plan enough to give myself a general direction and what I feel to be a "decently probable" score of success, but I rely primarily on in-the-moment instinct/intuition and/or some really concrete and strong facts, or at least that's my preferred way of making decisions if I'm making choices for myself and not others.

I like indulging in all kinds of thoughts as long as it leads to some sort of externalized result (self-building), otherwise I feel like it's a time waste and feel awful about myself.

I really like to have concrete and deep knowledge about something I don't like scratching the surface between multiple concepts I'd rather go in really deep on a couple subjects of interests and connect all the dots between them.

My favorite subjects in high school were:

Gym class (extra recess block basically), English (I like reading good fiction stories and doing analysis on them), Physics/Math (I have a good physical/visual intuition, and I enjoyed being part of something a lot of people considered difficult, plus I consider Math the most effective/most purified way to train that "objective reason" part of your brain, so I have a to of respect for it.) I didn't do too well in the english final exams though, especially those questions where you were given a picture and asked to write about it, namely because the picture given didn't really say anything to me and I didn't want to make stuff up that I both didn't see (fact based from the picture) nor felt (didn't have any strong subjective impression about the picture).

I think it is true of me in general that my usual decision making is

1: What are the most concrete facts? The less in my head I'm in to arrive to these facts, the better. The more in my head the facts are, the more likely they are to be too speculative/too risky.

2: Does it match any known patterns? (This one usually comes automatic to me pretty much around the same time I'm collecting facts)

3: How do I feel about this/subjective impression, what's my instinct on this?

I did a type me here a while back most people thought I was INTP then some said ISTP which I sort of rebelled against that first. But been thinking and a lot of my core personal interests seem to have a strong S base and my cognition maybe?

I feel very intimately connected to my visual system, basically all feelings have a visual imagination associated with them to me, I feel something, and then almost immediately Ill get some kind of visual with it. I very strongly visualize things when listening to music, abstract technical things like math to me I don't get it unless I can visualize an intuition behind it like a structure (which I usually do cause I have natural aptitude at math, my favorite subject thus-far was linear algebra which deals with multi dimensional 'spaces' intersecting and transforming, that and number theory, which I don't know much about, except that numbers are structural rather than just a flat symbol of mundane quantity). People's faces burn pretty easily into my mind's eye, I love faces, they're interesting visual entities.

I scored above-average aptitude for Visual and Kinesthetic learning on a learning styles test they made me do in school and at an institution. That's my cognition.

Regards to my interests,

I really really like electronic like dubstep particularly the kind that feels like a massively powered mech stress testing itself, makes me feel physically strong and like my neurons are being fried each powerful movement, yet I'm still standing.

I did hear that electronic is more common amongst S users. And I like some sports alot, don't care for basketball or football or that kind of thing but say something like handball or a more violent/body-contact tag game, I get very easily excited and hyped up and difficult for me to not go all out physically, on the outside it probably looks like a flip a switch from my usual reserved self. I like that feeling of going all out physically like im amped up on something and winning. As a kid i really liked rough housing games like King of the hill and actually as a mid 20s adult if a bunch of guys asked me to do that, I'd jump in.

Usually though I'm not playing sports I'm just sitting around and studying, although even then I find I absolutely need to pace rapidly back and forth around the room if i need to start generating ideas. Maybe I do have high Se, probably just very high introverted everything else functions (I think MC tests are crap. Regardless, I did a test at 13 once, it said I had "very high" Ti Si Ni Fi, 4.3-4.4/5 score for all those introverted funcs) which partially jacks me out of my Se until something like an exciting sport makes it come out in it most raw form.
