Over the time of you finding out your MBTI type?

I took the test a good few years ago, and at the time of testing my introversion was at 57%, in the last 2 times I have taken the test my introversion levels have increased to 88%.

Now I know people say types can't change over and over again but if I am marking a considerable rise in my I, wouldn't it have been possible that once I would have been an E?

Have you noticed any changes in your I/E since you first tested to now?

I am more or less new to MBTI but I am sure that I am very strong I since my birth.

When I first took it about 10 months ago, my Introversion score was 67%. When I retook it last week, it had dropped to 50%.

I would say that moods can change it +/- 20% sometimes even more.

That is what I have seen in other people.

I believe it's mood related too, but I'm just confused as to why that couldn't constitute a type change.

If someone was introverted because of their mood, they would test one way and if they were happy they might test another, so which type would they be?

I have functioned as an Extrovert in my daily life for many years but always tested as an Introvert. It can be exhausting for me.

In my last testing I tested 50/50. And I do seem to be pacing myself better than in the past. I still do have that sense of being depleted after too much interaction with others.
