Personality tests are not 100% reliable and accurate (*looks at 16PERSONALITIES). One reason for this is that people may answer questions during a period of stress, in which they are manifesting sides of themselves which are normally suppressed.

Big Brain Daddy Carl Jung discovered the 4 sides of the mind. People are more than just themSELVES. There is a whole other complex system of others within YOU.
We have additional facets beyond our egos and shadows: the Aspirational self (or Subconscious) and the Superego.

The ego is our “main” personality type – often the one with which we identify the most. It is the SELF.
Our shadow or unconscious type is one which we may slip into during periods of prolonged and/or intense stress.
Two sides of your self? Amazed? There's more. Nya~

Our subconscious or aspirational self is linked with the inferior function of the ego.
For example: As an INTP my stacks read Ti-Ne-Si-Fe
Inverted it reads: Fe-Si-Ne-Ti which gives you the stacks for ESFJ :3 meow meow

The subconscious or aspirational type represents the type of person we aspire to be- for others it is what we are hyperconscious of due to our inferior function. For me that's inferior Fe.
"Will I ever be kind enough?" thoughts in my head is a manifestation of the subconscious.

Like the shadow, the SUPEREGO is a part of ourselves which we have often suppressed, and which we tend to dislike and resist recognizing in ourselves.
The INTP superego is ISFP.
I want to "perform"??? Where? I want an audience? How?
The SELF sometimes denies the SUPEREGO.

"Why is it important to understand and also ACKNOWLEDGE these aspects of your self?" - you ask me in a trembling voice.
"Don't you want to understand the tempest you have within you?"- I answer back, picking you up by the hand *I am wearing surgical gloves*

Jung did not try to run from the importance of conflict to human psychology; he saw it as inherent and necessary for growth.
The end goal is INDIVIDUATION: the quest for wholeness that the human psyche invariably undertakes.
