I once tested ENFP

Its weird, the first time I took the mbti test I came back as INTJ. It all fit perfectly for me. I took it a couple days later for kicks, and it was one of those scale of 1 to 5 on each question type ones (which i hate). And it came back as ENFP?? I was puzzled. well, months later it kinda makes sense to me.

basically I figure when I am more extroverted in comfortable situations my E attributes are NFP. My sister happens to be an ENFP and I'm probably the most extroverted when i'm around her. My mom is INFJ, and my dad is INTJ.

When I was in grade 8 I was very introverted with a few close friends. My older bro was even more introverted than me. At the time I didn't like how people would call me quiet or shy. And I thought of being quiet as bad thing. I didn't want my sister to be introverted like me. Even my mom and dad would give me and my bro lectures for not talking to other family members at Christmas gatherings. There would be consequences. Even teachers would get mad at me because I always knew the answer but would never raise my hand. But for my sister, I wanted her to have more fun in school and have more friends. So I became more extroverted around her. My extroverted type was enfp, and it fits I guess because its named 'the inspirer'. I was slowly bringing out her E i guess. I can't be sure if I influenced her personality at all, but today she is a really fun person to be around.

So yeah, I'm probably ENFP or even simply ENxx when I am E, in comfortable situations and such. what do you think?

I can relate, I consider ENxP (there's always an NT residue, so I put x, though I can see ENFP too) to be my subtype. I can be the group clown sometimes. We do share Te and Fi with them, so the change isn't as radical as it may seem in terms of functions.
