You can't pick and choose a function base on what you prefer. Your dominant functions are inherent you can't say "I like this better, so I'm going to make this my dominant function and do it." Mistyping others is common in Socionics because behaviors are being interpreted trough their own filters. This is where Visual Identification is important, because it's not open to suggestive interpretation. A good example of a mistypable situation is when a person acts outside their typical element, by being strongly emotional at certain times and if caught in that moment, the typist may interpret that behavior to belong to one function over another.
People who don't use Visual Identification will look for superficial symbols of what they consider to be type, such things as superficial mood/facial characteristics, certain attitudes displayed at certain times, which are all highly inaccurate methods of determining type. These inaccurate methods are often used by many Socionics Visual Identification sites.
We don't know why in the sequence of our genes we have such extreme markers that tie personality to morphology (the way we look), and this topic is subject to extensive study to learn where and how each human came from.
The reason why written tests fail at accuratly picking the person's type is that in one example a person may remain cool and aloof on the outside, but burn with all kinds of emotions on the inside, but every once in a while let one out and if you are typing with a subjective tool like behavioral observation and you don't catch the person in the element you are likely to think of them as any of the IM functional description.
Can you see the introverted functions of any person? How about the thoughts of of a certain individual? Don't forget that in Socionics a person who is of one type may seem like another and display characteristics of another, and vice-versa. You can tell by the way they live- LSE/ESTj live clutter free, neat, EFFICIENT, effective, maximize, organized, routines for things like preparing and cooking their food without the interuption of another person, while ESE/ESFJ like having people prepare the same food in the kitchen with them, want to look like they are efficient and buy many books to read on efficiency.
This goes back to the tree in the forest scenario. When a tree falls in the forest how do you know it made a sound?
Some IM elements are in the subconscious- you can miss a person's type very easily if you judge them based on their behavior and actions of the moment. If you are picking your type you choose the functions that look good; I know I like dark circles, you may mistype yourself and others in Socionics.
How about the descriptions that you want to look like behind every element; well, how about the ones your society or our society values as being "strong" or "desirable"?There is also the issue of elements that are more so developed in individuals with the same type or the issue of birth order (as psychologists like to assume that it makes a difference in a child's personality), or the environment and the way a person was raised that stunts or develops one element more then the others.
How about hormones and how a person's sex, race, nationality, traditions, socio-economic status, education, finance, and most importantly how is the person is effected by the relationships that surround him or her? and etc.
Once a type is a whole, IM elements disappear into the background. When a person reads description of types, they relate to most of them because we have behaviors of all types withing us and descriptions of type are not often written in the "language" (I will discuss type related language later) of the individual who is reading the descriptions.
Type says you are one more and that's the one you should focus on developing.VI is so accurate because type is connected to morphology (genes) and specific characteristics/traits, you will see when you are typed and read a good descriptions of your type that that really "clicks". So what can you see? You can see certain behaviors through your own personal filter, that may or may not mean much in terms of typing in Socionics.
