 was consistently infj (with sporadic infp) when i was 16 to 20. Then from some years ago, when I do the test I obtain intp turbolent (with sporadic intj). 
 I flip between INTJ and INTP

Joking aside I read somewhere that alot of entertainment villains are based off of INTJs...#misunderstood 
 they are typically the coldest 
 And coolest 😉 
 true 
 They can keep their cool like no other type. I envy that trait sometimes. 
 If you only knew the rage inside... 
 I do know exactly what you're talking about. My fiancée is INTJ...

Similarly, even when they're scared, they usually still scare everyone else with their facial expression. 😅  
 INTJs shield themselves from unproductive emotional encounters. The apparent lack of empathy is often just an attempt to avoid becoming emotionally attached to situations where they can't positively influence the outcome. It’s not about lacking empathy, rather,  a conscious choice to invest mental and emotional resources in areas that align with our goals and where we can make a meaningful difference. 
 Good summary 😂

 Welcome back selene! 😁 
 I think that just means you haven't looked into the topic enough yet. I'm INTP and my partner is INTJ, and these two types are quite different in some ways. In fact, all the main functions are directed in opposites. However, they still share many personality traits, so a lot of the online tests can results in random outcomes for some people. 
 Im a bit weird. Sometimes i timeblock my entire week and other weeks i prefer no plan at all. I’m not convinced its a static, immutable thing 
 It's all about preferences. INTPs can become very extroverted with the right crowd for example. And people obviously change behaviors depending on mood, health, etc..

I also try to timeblock things sometimes, but it never lasts long. If you can withstand "no plan at all" for any periods longer than 1 day, you're most likely not an INTJ. 😅  
 Same here! (But INTP more often) 
 I feel the change happened to me and how I'm effectively different today (its like my internal rationality wasnt fully developed).
I dont understand the fluctuation in some periods of the last letter, from p to j.
 
 same. but sometimes I am super planny and sometimes im not. So makes sense
