ISFJ, ISFP, or something else?

I can’t tell if I’m a Si-Fe or Fi-Se user. I always get ISFJ or ISFP as the majority answer depending on the questionnaire I fill out. When taking cognitive function tests, I usually get Si, Fi, Fe, Se in that order. The only thing I'm sure of is that I'm enneagram 9. I’d love if I could get help on confirming my type!

Warning: I don’t have that great of an understanding about the functions, so most of these may probably be stereotypes, but here’s my best shot.

---

Si:

• I enjoy recalling past memories and experiences

• My memory for the past is better than most people I know

• I hate taking risks even if they’re small

• I dislike big changes such as new jobs and new schools, and take longer to adapt to these changes than necessary

• I like knowing what to expect / the details of things (ex: who’s going to be at a hangout, when is it, where are we going, how long are we staying for, what are we doing?)

• I feel much more comfortable if I have a sense of familiarity. Being unfamiliar with a place or situation makes me uncomfortable

• I like stability and security

• I use what I know and have experienced in the past when working on present and future things

Why I second-guess Si: I'm mostly only present-oriented. I would say I'm at least 85% focused on the present. Also although Si has nothing to do with anxiety, most Si users I know are prone to worrying while I'm mostly always nonchalant and complacent.

Se:

• I’m very present-oriented; I hardly think about the future, and the only time I think of the past is to recall memories when being reminded of them

• I love designer items and wish to own many expensive, high-end things. I’m also a big spender who mostly spends money on appearance, and I dress for beauty not comfort

• I like trying new food as long as I know what the food is

• I just want to live in the moment and be happy even though I don’t actually do much

• When seeing something, I’m more likely to describe what the thing looks/sounds/etc like than to associate it with a feeling or memory from the past

• I almost never worry about anything and am more likely to just think, “well I can’t do anything about it, so I might as well just wait” or “when the time comes, it’ll come” and stuff like that

• I find the arts appealing; music, film making, photography, drawing, writing, etc. I’m also pretty creative myself, but not all that talented with the arts other than writing poetry and stories

• I’m usually one of the first to notice something in my surroundings

Why I second-guess Se: I don’t take interest in doing physical things like hiking, partying, raving, playing sports, and more. I also don't adapt/adjust to change that quickly unless I actually want the change, which isn't often.

Fi:

• When someone says or does something, my first reaction is to think about my opinion or my feelings (in my mind)

• I dislike and am uncomfortable with expressing most of my feelings, so I keep them to myself

• I care about morals and ethics; I dislike when people do unethical things like lie on a resume (or lie about anything), steal someone’s belongings because they forgot it somewhere, take credit for someone else’s work, and etc

• I don’t really care about norms and dislike some, such as shaking hands with people you meet, saying “bless you” when people sneeze, and more

• I stick to my values most of the time; I could agree to a hangout then not want to go anymore, but still go because I already agreed to it and I value keeping my word

• I’m pretty reserved and private with most people, and I take a long time to get comfortable with someone or to consider them “close”. I’ve had the same friends since I was in elementary, but still don’t feel close to them even though they feel close to me

• I don’t take criticism well and can take defense to what someone says (misreading it as something rude when it wasn’t meant to be), but I don’t express any of this to them

• I look at many things as right/wrong or good/bad

• I hate when people try too hard to be something they aren’t, like when they change their entire image or personality to fit in with the cool kids

Why I second-guess Fi: I don’t place high importance on myself being authentic, individualistic, or having a clear identity. I also don't talk about myself that much even though I enjoy talking about things in my interest.

Fe:

• I prefer to fit in with the crowd as opposed to stand out and be unique

• I follow a lot of beauty trends

• I’m accommodating and like to maintain harmony to avoid conflict. I have never gotten into conflict with a friend before

• I kind of care what people think about me, but mostly just to the point of avoiding people hating me

• A lot of my values are society’s values (ex: be respectful, polite, ethical)

• I’m extremely agreeable on the outside even though I don’t actually agree on the inside. I’d pretend to agree with my friends about something I actually disagree with because I want to avoid getting into an argument with them and because it’s just easier for myself to agree than to express my disagreement just for them to disagree, which will make me mad on the inside

• I don’t really have a sense of self; I have a hard time answering “who are you?” whenever asked

• Many people find me warm, friendly, and animated in my facial expressions and body language/hand gestures

• I’m a pushover and easily taken advantage of. I let people get what they want all the time because I have trouble speaking up. Friends have said that I’m “too nice”.

Why I second-guess Fe: I don’t care about other people’s feelings and I don’t help people to make them happy unless I really like them. The reason why I sugarcoat, pretend to agree, and help people is to avoid conflict, so I can maintain harmony. However, I don’t care about group harmony; the entire group could be fighting, but as long as I’m not involved in the fight, I don’t care because I still feel at peace.

I have a questionnaire I recently filled out here in case anyone wants to look back on it. People there told me I'm probably ISFP, but on the mbti community I'm still getting a lot of ISFP and/or ISFJ answers. Here it is

I'm also willing to answer some questions if it could better help me find my type. Thanks!
