When I was younger, I tested as INTP and as I got older I now consistently test INFP. I'm not sure if I just changed as my morals solidified (exiting teenagedom) and I came to understand myself, but I was just reading an article about INTP's social chameleon aspect (not knowing what to do in social situations and creating a temporary persona through imitation) and was finding it so relatable until I remembered I was F and not T. That article and this one both have a tendency to paint INTP as somewhat sinister (and also this one claiming INFPs are not able to be fluid or reflective in their beliefs) which seems a bit baised to me. I know they're meant to describe the strongest example without personal nuance, but I was glad to see people experiencing a similar progression when I scrolled down to the comments. I also think I tend to shift back towards INTP depending on what situation I'm in, what's necessary in the moment, or how I'm feeling, but both "modes" I would say are still true to me.
