I don't understand single-word tags on Tumbler

Play devil's advocate to your own beliefs.

What’s your personality type (Myers-Briggs)?
Interesting. I answered ENFP because that’s what I’ve always gotten in the past, but I took the test again and this time I got an IFNP.
Introverted 56% Intuitive 62% Feeling 25% Perceiving 44%
Also my “feeling” score was much lower than it used to be. I guess I must have changed more than I thought.
