Uncommon Contradictions in Typing? Possible Mistype?

I've recently taken about 7 or 8 different versions of the Meyers-Briggs test, and (let's just stick with 8...) 7 out of 8 times I've gotten INTJ, but on the last one, I was shocked to see the result INTP pop up.

After scouring through countless web pages and paragraphs, I've still yet to determine what type I am or whether I have qualities of both. (Forgive me, I'm still getting used to the typology code).

In addition to that, I had taken the Ennaegram Wing Test and was not surprised to see a 6w5. After researching my result, I found that yes, I am without a doubt Type 6 with a 5 wing.

Now, to explain the title of this blog: Contradictions...

Let me start off by saying I am a dedicated and devoted non-demoninational Christian.

I know that INTJs, and I believe that INTPs, both look for the logic in most things and cannot believe in anything without solid and undeniable proof. For example, religion. Nearly every INTJ or INTP I know is an atheist or agnostic; however, that's definitely not the case for me, although everything else in their descriptions fits my behavior and personality entirely.

6w5 types are, as stated in the articles here, a mess of contradictions. It also states that we need something to believe in, for example a higher power, but at the same time we need to bash it down for the lack of proof, (again, quite like the INTJs and INTPs).

It seems as if 6w5s can be INTJs or INTPs, but INTJs and INTPs cannot be 6w5s. I know that there is no direct correlation between the two, but being as I was typed as both, they must be connected in some way. Not only that, but I also know now that female INTJs are uncommon, as well as Americans. Could this possibly be a mistype, or am I really just that different?

    I walk in the same shoes as you., I have been typed as both. Over time, I have taken many tests.

    Religion: I wasn't a born believer. I have been Agnostic from time to time... I had to have proof.
    I was born into an Irish Catholic family. I believe in God and understand the bible abstractly. Not to mention, I have been thinking about Buddhism. We all need something to believe in...

    I have the same Ennaegram types as you, 0_o haha. As part of my religion, which also includes my personal beliefs, I don't believe that anyone is born a believer in anything, really. I was brought up in a nondenominational Christian environment, and after a lot of questions and studying apologetics, I found that it makes the most sense to me. Buddhism I've only studied in school, nothing more, but I'm pretty sure that there are contradictions within the religion that make it false. I'm glad to find..another INTJ 6w5? haha

    Hmmm,
    I'm having an identity crisis. You really have the same Enneagram as me??? One day, I'm an INTJ and the next an INTP and the day after that, well... INFP.

    According to, "Please Understand me II, I am INTJ." Not to mention, the description describes me very well...

    I'm sort of having the same identity crisis, which just makes me wonder more if INTJs normally over-analyze this sort of thing - and what a delicious candy d:
