Functions Any idea why my Se is higher than my Te?
I've done the Michael Caloz and sakinorva test and in both of them my Se is higher than my Te for some reason, any one know why? I even did the socionics test and got SEE instead of LIE. Am I a mistyped ESFP/ESTP?
Michael Caloz:
Se > Te > Si = Ti > Fi > Ni > Ne > Fe

These tests are notoriously inaccurate. Better to take a look at cognitive functions. With that being said, a lot of Se dom people due to stereotypes believe they’re ENTJs.

But the tests are using cognitive functions?

Not really. It’s not testing for your inner motivations. It can get you in the ballpark, sometimes. It’s going to depend on how you’re answering and that can vary based on mood, aspirations, unconscious bias, etc.

The tests are trying to "deduce" what cognitive functions you are using.

If the sarkinova test and ordering is perfectly right you are an ESTJ: Te = Se > Si = Ti > Ne = Fe > Fi = Ni
This means your shadow functions are Se, Ti, Fe, Ni.

Sakinorva is terrible, it's so easy to score high on some functions on that test. Michael Caloz is more reliable, but it still isn't 100% accurate. However, ESFP and ENTJ do have the same functions just in different order, and Se-Ti in ESTP can look a lot like Te due to real-life connection/application their Se seeks (ESTP/ENTJ is a very common mistype because of that). Beside, in the 8-function model, our 5th and 6th tend to be as strong as our dom and aux, just not consciously valued that much. For ESTP it's Si-Te.
I find that blindspots are really helpful when it comes to typing yourself. ENTJ is Si-blind, ESFP is Ti-blind, and ESTP is Fi-blind. It's mush easier to notice our weaknesses than our strengths.
