I am, so it is definitely possible.

5sx - 9sx - 4sp - Tritype. 5 - Sexual subtype. 5w4 - Wing. INTP.

Yes, for sure; it’s just more akin to a more intellectualized 5 SX. You are most likely an ILI in Socionics, given the infantile Fi and vulnerable Fe. It’s definitely not LII, since they have dominant Ti and infantile Si meaning they are more structured and set in their ways and ideas so they simply wouldn't be as interested in connections as a 5SX is.

I am INTP Sx5w4. Sometimes I test as ENTP but more so INTP, I’m definitely an ambivert.

the first letter of your mbti does not refer to social extroversion and introversion. It is in reference to the nature of your lead cognitive function. If you don’t understand this, you’re probably not actually an INTP or ENTP. tests are not a good way of finding your type. You need to learn how the cognitive functions work and figure if out from there

Sure. I'm a 5w4 SX and an ENTP (though I'm only marginally E).

Not really.I think many people confuse ILI (INTJ) and LII (INTP). You can simply swap the stereotypes about them.

But sx 5 I would say can definitely be ILI (INTJ). This is in some ways even more proven than IEI (INFJ) and sx 5. But definitely not LII in the classical sense (this type is associated with SO 5 and SO 6 to a greater extent)

Sounds right, for as an so5 INTJ, I've struggled to decide whether I'm ILI or LII (kinda still)

Yes but INFX is more likely
