I was a little confused by our exchange so I thought to read a few more of your posts and I came across this one. In it I see that you are an INTP-A. Over the years I have taken both the Myers-Briggs and the Keirsey and was an INTJ. After taking the test that you gave a link to it recorded me as an INTP-T (although I had problem answering a number of questions). It is possible that I introduced a little bias in some of my answers.
A number of years ago I took a personality test on a major "Dating site". At the time there wasn't a single match on their platform (which I assume was international). Although I am convinced that there was a penguin in Antarctica who may have been a possibility.
A penguin is not a bad choice, they are always dressed up top fashion. And of course you are INTJ, I'm not surprised I have to say :) So did your readings make you more or less confused ?
To compound my problems, I was born in June ... making me a Gemini. While most people agree there is no evidence to support belief in astrology, I have a hypothesis that the level of hormones gives complicated reactions in the womb especially in the winter months when light levels affect melatonin. This may explain why Gemini have two minds...
So in other words, I am always confused ...
I don't have even good excuse to be confused all the time and yet, still I am.
I cannot tell if you are the type of person who likes a hug or despises them. I don't mean one of the awkward ones where two people stand up and hug each other. I mean one of those where you are sitting in front of a fire and you lean back against his chest. His arms hugs you to sooth the blackness of the night. Perhaps you are the type who likes to come up behind your loved one and put your arms around his shoulders as he looks out the window on a rainy day.
When you prepare food, isn't there a recipe that you follow and if you miss an ingredient the food is lacking? Sometimes a bland recipe needs to have an ingredient replaced or additional spices added to bring the food to life. Is it possible that you are not confused ... just missing the right ingredients?
I can be person who likes a hug, it depends a lot from the other person, are they huggable or not.
I agree with the metaphor you mentioned about the food. Now you are talking my language. I think we are given certain guidelines to work with in life, a recipe of somewhat (moral code etc.) but the seasoning we have to make our selves. And even if basic principles are the same every life still is as their user. With seasoning you never can give exact amount, because every step before seasoning effects on this step. So, the recipe can suggest seasonings and amounts but the decision still lays in our hand. Do we like our life with a little heat or not?
What shape do they grow people in Finland anyway? Are they made with all jutting out bits and needles so to hug them imperils your clothing?

I am not a cook nor a chef. I tend to add things until my food turns into white noise. The heat is masked by the umami which is masked by the bitter etc. It is interesting that you think about a "moral code". There is a particular word in the English language which not many people understand or use. That word is joy. As a child did you ever make a mud pie? There is a joy in making one. Joy is a different emotion than happiness. Getting drunk might make you happy but it doesn't give you Joy. Maybe that is why moral code has no context for me. I don't do certain things because I don't have a particular affinity for happiness. One moment of joy is worth more to me than a lifetime of happiness.
A number of years ago, I devoted a month to a raw food diet. After a regular cooked meal, your body and mind shut down in order to digest the food. It isn't uncommon for me to take twenty winks (a nap) after lunch or supper. Raw food on the other hand had an innervating effect to both my mind and body. It invigorated me after each smoothie etc. I have no value for narcotics (aside for medical uses) because they would interfere with my clarity. I use a alcohol on social occasions to help overcome my antipathy towards dealing with other people. I use caffeine because "why not think a little faster and clearer". Travel is something to be endured because it is a necessary action to take one to be with a special someone else. I hate cars because they are to take you from point A to point B when really you want to be at point C which is somewhere on a beach. Source
I described my vision of the human psyche in a few earlier posts. Heat falls in line with sensuality.
You have "little" people and "big" people. Little people never stretch themselves. They never challenge their minds, bodies or spirits. "Big" people always work on increasing their "triangles" by tugging away at those dimensions. They read a few extra books, they walk an extra mile, they contemplate the perfection of a blue sky. Focusing too much in one dimension without balancing the rest of their lives leads down a path towards being a smaller person. A person who is a workaholic (materiality) jeopardizes their emotions (love) and sensuality (enjoyment of other things).
I encourage you to give/get a little extra heat but in doing so perhaps love a little more and add to your financial value (write more posts on STEEM).
It's not all Finns, it might be just me and Eve that are extra pointy, like hugging a cactus.
I feel flattered every time you end up using quote from my previous posts. I don't think having a high moral with something takes the joy out of things. Things can be controlled and still it is possible to get joy out from it. I used to make mud pies. But even then i got mad when other kids made them "the wrong way". I'm somewhat extremely passionate person and all the feelings you might consider "negative" are just fuel for my fire.
I keep feeding my fire, sometimes with love, but for me there is also other powerful emotions i can harness to my use, greed, anger, jealousy, bitterness. Taking out of context those feelings indeed are "negative" but when you break off them into little pieces you notice that they are powered mostly because love, and admiration.
So, in a way I totally understand the triangles, I just choose to render them a little differently.
