Your MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) type is determined by your preferences across four dichotomies: Extraversion (E) vs. Introversion (I), Sensing (S) vs. Intuition (N), Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F), and Judging (J) vs. Perceiving (P). Each dichotomy represents a spectrum, and your MBTI type is a combination of the preferences on each spectrum.

If you consistently score in the 51-55% range for the Intuition (N) preference, it means that you have a slight preference for Intuition but also possess some Sensing (S) traits. This does not necessarily mean you will come across more like an ISFP (Sensing-Feeling) than other INFPs (Intuitive-Feeling).

As an INFP, your dominant function is Introverted Feeling (Fi), and your auxiliary function is Extraverted Intuition (Ne). These functions shape your cognitive processes and how you perceive and process information. The fact that you have a slight preference for Intuition means that you may still relate to some INFP traits, such as valuing authenticity, deeply-held values, and seeking meaning in life.

However, having a moderate preference for Sensing could influence some of your interests and behaviors. Sensing individuals tend to focus more on concrete details, practical experiences, and the present moment. This might mean that you also have an appreciation for sensory experiences, aesthetics, and a more down-to-earth approach to certain aspects of life.

It's important to remember that the MBTI is just one way to understand personality, and it doesn't fully capture the complexity of an individual. People are diverse and can have a range of interests and behaviors, even within the same MBTI type.

If you feel that your interests align more with the Sensing realm than what is typically associated with INFPs, that's perfectly fine and natural. The MBTI is not a strict rulebook; it's a tool for self-discovery and understanding. Embrace the unique combination of traits that make you who you are, and explore and appreciate all aspects of your personality and interests.
