One of the funny things about the MB system is that, because it's an all-encompassing classification system, a poor explainer of it can make people feel like something's wonky if they don't fit neatly into that system -- either the system is broken, or they are.
I think the opposite's true. For one, the MB is just a collection of patterns that emerge when you look at the behavioral preferences of a lot of people. But individual human beings are capable of a much wider span of behavioral choices than those typical of any aggregate pattern. So MB isn't "broken" just because one individual is capable of transcending it.
Furthermore, I don't believe it's a disadvantage to span two or more of the 16 MB styles -- just the opposite, actually. Being able to access the gifts of both iNtuition and Sensing could be a real benefit in a complex world that frequently asks us to adapt to unexpected circumstances.
If you feel like you don't "fit" some model like the MB, count yourself lucky.
