Point 4 "Reasoner" MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Point 4 "Reasoner"? Point 4 "Reasoner" is an INFP personality type in MBTI, 4w5 - SO4 - 451 in Enneagram, RLUEI in Big 5, EII in Socionics.

To me, Point 4's relation with Logic seems Low, as well as 3L and Inf Te. I know Point 4 is The Reasoner, but their logic is full of insecurities. "This constant investigation can lead to excess and overanalyzing, which accounts for why their reasons and analyses fail and for their many misconceptions when criticizing others." "Analyzes every action over and over, imagines scenes and conversations, always looking for explanations and causes in their own actions and the actions of others." "Tendency to overthink and to fall into a detailed analysis of circumstances with extended internal dialogues where they face imaginary interlocutors." "Imagine that others criticize them without apparent cause or reason or do not consider them." Ego-Projections: believe they are rational, intelligent, literate, scholarly, knowledgeable, and witty debaters. Reality: melancholic person, argumentative, envious, illogical, shallow, critical, and moody. Passion: Envy. Comparing themselves with others, Reasoners project that they have been overlooked, criticized and undervalued, making them react with the Passion of Envy toward those they perceive as intelligent, rich, successful, or beautiful, and who receive the approval of others. Personality disorder: Borderline disorder characterized by instability of self-image and mood. A persistent identity disturbance is almost invariably present. Reasoners at this stage are uncertain about life issues, self-image, sexual orientation, and career choice (..)
