Tests to find your type (in order of how I was comfortable taking them, most first. Comfortable meaning the options make it easy for me to choose with less ambiguity/doubt):

How do you find out dominant, auxiliary, tertiary and inferior functions:
The dominant and the inferior function will both be introverted or both extroverted depending on whether a person is IXYZ or EXYZ. The auxiliary and tertiary functions will both be the opposite (meaning extroverted for an I and introverted for an E).
T, F are the judging functions while N, S are the perceiving functions.
Extraverted function Dominant Function
If a person is J: Judging function Y If a person is I: Introverted function
if a person is P: Perceiving function X If a person is E: Extraverted function
Example 1: INFP
- Because of the P, the person will have the X (=N in this case) as the extraverted function.
- Y (=F in this case) will be the introverted function.
- Thus the person has Ne and Fi as dominant and auxiliary functions.
- The dominant function will be one of X or Y and will be that one which is introverted because the person is an I. Thus Fi is the dominant function(and its mirror opposite Te as the inferior function).
- Ne will be the auxiliary function (and its mirror opposite Si as the tertiary function).
Example 2: ESTP
- Because of the P, the person will have the X (=S in this case) as the extraverted function.
- Y (=T in this case) will be the introverted function.
- Thus the person has Se and Ti as dominant and auxiliary functions.
- The dominant function will be one of X or Y and will be that one which is extraverted because the person is an E. Thus Se is the dominant function(and its mirror opposite Ni as the inferior function).
- Ti will be the auxiliary function (and its mirror opposite Fe as the tertiary function).
Example 3: ENFJ
- Because of the J, the person will have the Y (=F in this case) as the extraverted function.
- X (=N in this case) will be the introverted function.
- Thus the person has Fe and Ni as dominant and auxiliary functions.
- The dominant function will be one of X or Y and will be that one which is extraverted because the person is an E. Thus Fe is the dominant function (and its mirror opposite Ti as the inferior function).
- Ni will be the auxiliary function (and its mirror opposite Se as the tertiary function).
I have shown the details for each of the MBTI types here. The data is presented in a tabular format in Google spreadsheets and you can play around by filtering on various columns (not recommended for F's!)
Additional reading:If someone has Si (perceiving function) as the dominant function, what type is he? Because the dominant function has i, the person is introverted, X=S. So,The person is ISYZ, we need to find Y and Z. And Y is the extraverted function. If the person is J, the extraverted function will be the judging function (F/T) and the introverted function will be the perceiving function (N/S). Therefore he is a J. Hence the person is ISYJ, where Y, the judging function, can be T or F. Both ISTJ and ISFJ have Si as the dominant function.
