I'm sorry, mbti isn't going to hit the mark here. Too many ISTJs won't identify with this. Maybe lightly correlative but not explanatory.

Most folks have only ever taken online tests, which are crap, and based on random interpretations of the actual MBTI.
Even the official test that you pay to get done, in person, from the MBTI folks, is pretty inaccurate.
So almost no one is typed accurately.

I'm not sure what you mean.
The categories of the MBTI are very useful, but only if you actually are using them, and not looking at some random "fake news" silliness.
I suggest the original book Gifts Differing, if you really want to learn about it.

If a 200 question-aire gets you pseudoscience, so does 3 anecdotes and an armchair psychologist.

Mbti has limitations, but is great if you actually know how it works and don't do pop tests online.
I'm INTP, very strongly.

Also, I'm not guessing. I'm categorizing based on over a decade of work in this field.
Personality types are a large part of my research.
Here is a breakdown of the MBTI as it relates to the DSM:

There is no "right" or "wrong" in this work. Only more or less effective categorization.
Aella Girl's categorization is not effective in helping her understand herself well. Which is why she's more confused about why she thinks and feels the way she does than is necessary.

No, I'm definitely INTP? Assuming you think I'm self classifying wrong; I've read a few books on it as well as some Jung. I know the goal-orientedness I described is not very INTP, which is partially why it's weird; the rest of me is extremely flexible/relaxed.
From what I've seen, you're heavily on the ASD area of brain types.
That's Sensing. Specifically, Introvert Sensing. A focus on the material objects of life and the delicious details of everything around you.
But that's because other humans' emotions are non-intuitive to you.

no? I'm chronically oblivious to my environment. I'm typically messy, people have been shocked by how much i simply 'don't see' objects. Or for more classic Si, I also have a terrible memory, am totally uninterested in tradition, and have very sloppy internal fact categorization

The relaxation is likely your Thinking brain design: novelty seeking in the intellectual sphere. T types are curious and experimental and creative when it comes to ideas.
The IST absolutely explains your love of surveys on Twitter: detailed (S) experimental (T) research (I).

As for the J/P. You've come across to me as being very focused on planning your life, setting things up to meet your needs, starting companies, doing jobs you don't enjoy, to earn money. That's a Judging type.
Perceiving types prioritize play in all areas of life, not security.

you see my online persona dude. Also J/P only describes the orientation of functions, it's not a function inandof itself. The type of things you're seeing about me online is a tiny fragment of the full information set, which I have access to and you don't.
