So, I've read all these over and I know I relate the most to introverted thinking, feeling and sensing, where as the other 5 not really. I still have yet to chose which one is probably the strongest, but I have a question:

I've been pegged as an Ne subtype and fit the VI etc, but it seems rather superficial to me: the VI and subtyping, in that I don't really relate much at all to the extroverted intuitive description. Wouldn't it just be better to follow more Jungian intentions and say, if lets say for example someone is Ti dom, and also relates to Si, then their dual is Fe dom who also relates to Ne and/or Si? or more simply a Jungian Ti is duals with a Jungian Fe? I don't really get why it has to be so confusing: because I know some ISFps from VI who are dominant Fe more than Si, they arent really super rational or irrational, sometimes high energy sometimes not, and it seems like they should be dualed with any Ti dom alpha regardless of "temperament." Is temperament just a superficial distraction from the purpose of duality? because I don't really get it: if you're Fe dom, then you're Fe dom, you know?

Or maybe we just have the subtype system and VI mixed up. I recall instances of people both relating to their subtype more, like an Fi-ENFp not relating to Ne much and who identifies with Fi the most, and then opposite instances of someone like me, who relates to either Fi or Ti, but doesn't relate to Ne. Maybe its in the case of the latter that we are just typed wrong, because it wouldnt really make for someone identifying the most with Ti to have a dual who identifies the most with Si.

So I guess the question is, if you relate the most to Fi, why not just type yourself as IxFj, so you can have your Te dom dual? or if you relate the most to Fe, just be an ExFj and have a Ti dom dual (and wasn't that already how things were supposed to be?) I'm not trying to confuse anything, just make sense of it.
