Lol, you're the same as my wife. She hops between those two whenever she takes such a test. High I, N and P, but the T and F are interchangeable.
Kind of interesting...
@Logiko you received INFP too. Was your F in the 50%s or was it super high? Curious if this is a pattern for INFPs.
Shame. I find these tests fascinating. They're not always amazingly accurate in terms of the raw description, but the individual traits can offer some insight into our behaviours. For example, I am very confident that I am Extroverted, Intuitive, Feeling and Judging (and Assertive), but that does not mean I am wholesale everything in the description. There are quite a few similarities in my case though.

Mine seems to be 66% feeling fwiw. Is that very high?
Tbh I think with some of those it's kind of a "depends" because I imagine I'd have given a pro feels rating in some scenarios and a pro logic opinion in others.
Yeah the tests are decently accurate although obviously it depends on the person and situations they've been in. I'm certain my result is broadly correct but possibly would be very different if I had recently been in some of the situations the test gave.
For example I said Slightly Agree when asked about whether I care more about proving my point than avoiding disagreement, because I usually take that approach around this forum and in general on account of not wanting to waste time on arguments.
But if I had recently been in a situation where problems were caused due to such an approach, I would definitely have gone with disagree.
I guess it fluctuates based on recent personal experiences, must be like that for your wife as well.

That makes perfect sense. Recency bias can most certainly impact the result. Ten years ago I had 90% -T instead of A. Every time I took the test (like, intervals of three years), the T reduced until now I am sitting at 56% A. Heck, if I took the test 5 months ago, I am certain it would have been 56% T rather than A. Much has happened recently which has had an impact on my worldview and general sense of confidence (for the better, I believe).
Regarding my wife, I think she might be an outlier where recency bias impacts her overall result. Her T-F score has always been like 54-56% depending on the time she took it. She took it yesterday after I brought up my recent result, and she is now apparently an INTP. For so many years she kept creeping out as an INFP. Given the "descriptor" both are very fitting.
As I stated though, these tests are good insofar as they highlight some key personality factors. This is high-level analysis, as opposed to granular, in-depth analysis. It offers you a broad view of how you align. Ultimately, people are more than the sum of their personality factors, but it's still very interesting to look at.
