I recently discovered that I am an INTJ, and I feel greatly relieved because it explains a lot of my reactions and how I tend to be more rational (when other people around me have been more emotional, and I did not know why I wasn't).
One of my Ts did testing for many years (including Myers-Briggs) and said that most Ts are both N and F, which makes sense if you think about it. He also said that the test does not work for everybody who takes it: as in, they might fall in between types.
Anyway, I do not hesitate to tell either of my Ts if something seems completely (or partially) inaccurate in their analysis or statements, and they both appreciate that.
For me it is not enough to tell me that something has worked for other clients; I want to know why they think something will work for me specifically and whatever issue we are working on. I have found that the thinking part of me strongly overrides the emotional and I do think this has made therapy more difficult for me.
