3. What country do you live in now? What country are you born in?
I live in the US. I was born in Canada but only out of convenience; I never lived there.
4. What cultural background are you?
My father is Caucasian and my mother is Hispanic.
5. What religion are you? What religion is your family?
I'm a Christian, as are my mom and siblings. My dad's religious views change often but I think he's some sort of agnostic or deist.

Questions
6. What career are you in or looking to be in? What are you doing right now to help you achieve this career goal?
I'd like to go into Music Education; I'm planning to go study Music Ed at college next year.
7. What is your friendships like with both genders? How many good friends do you have and why are you friends with these people?
I always found it easier to get along with girls than boys when I was younger I think, but lately my circle of friends has expanded to include more guys. Depending on how loose the definition of "good" is I have between 2 and 5 or so good friends. I think that I become friendly with people that I can talk to easily, but I don't open up to people unless I feel as if they can understand my situation, and that I can trust them very well.
8. What paranoias do you have?
Being judged.
9. What are your vices?
Petty gossip, and procrastination
10. What are your fears?
Being judged, again. Offending other people is another one.
11. What is your relationship like with your parents? siblings (if you had any)?
I have a good relationship with my parents but I'm not particularly close to either of them. I have a sister and a brother; my relationship with my sister is fairly voliatile and we argue quite a bit but we're still both teenagers, and we do get along sometimes. I do like my sister. My brother and I don't talk very much - he's pretty quiet. I have a cordial relationship with my brother.
12. How are you with expressing emotion in public?
I rarely let people know how I truly feel, and never do so in public. I try to stay pretty level-headed in public, but I do get really excited a lot of the time around my friends.
13. How do you think people saw you in high school? How do you think people see you now?
Well, I am still in high school. People who don't know me well see me as being pretty excitable and fun-loving. People who know me better see me as being reserved with my emotions, and a perfectionist. I've been told that people see me as being very mature, and very smart.

And finally....
14. What do you see as the point to your life and life in general?
I think that the point of life is to serve God and to serve others, and to love others, and to demonstrate the love of God to them.

I don't, usually. Nothing too extreme anyway.​

7. What is your friendships like with both genders? How many good friends do you have and why are you friends with these people? I don't really have friends per se as for relationships, I generally preferr talking to women of my age because they talk about more than muscles and are generally less... Pervy. However, I preferr talking to people a few years older than myself over either gender of my age.
8. What paranoias do you have? Paranoias... I generally suspect that something's intentional until proven unintentional, due to overly present cynicism. Too much time on the interwebs, perhaps.

11. What is your relationship like with your parents? siblings (if you had any)? Mother: Good terms, being an ISTJ her sense of structure creates conflict sometimes, but none the less. Father: Good terms as well, though he seems to be unstable to me, him being an F (ISFJ) Elder Sister 1(ESFP?): Great terms, despite some strained things in the past. Elder Sister 2 (ISTJ): Good terms, generally helpful in the way that you can't describe detail.
12. How are you with expressing emotion in public? Depends on the situation. If I think it's appropriate, I will. Even if it seems inappropriate, I might do so on reflex.
13. How do you think people saw you in high school? How do you think people see you now? Still in high school, sorry.
And finally...
14. What do you see as the point to your life and life in general? Never would'a thought of that. (Yes, I have never been to Singapore) I really go off of conviction more than thought for purpose. Yes, I realize that's an F-ish trait, but that's still what I do.

4. What cultural background are you? White is white is white
5. What religion are you? What religion is your family? "raised Catholic"...i feel like there should be a specific checkbox just for those who were raised Catholic but don't belong. i mostly identify as a naturalist, though (physics/biology/chemistry is my god)

Questions
6. What career are you in or looking to be in? What are you doing right now to help you achieve this career goal? I want to do social work, ideally with the LGBT community. currently i'm going to school majoring in gender studies and minoring in LGBT studies. maybe i'll get an MSW. who knows??
7. What is your friendships like with both genders? How many good friends do you have and why are you friends with these people? I was raised mostly with men, so i tend to get along better with men (albeit gay ones), though i certainly have female friends (who usually get along better with men as well..). I have quite a few good friends, and few VERY good friends. i could go on and on about why i'm friends with these people but frankly I just don't want to at the moment. maybe i'll edit this one day
8. What paranoias do you have? i always think people are talking about me. i just try to remember i'm not that cool.
9. What are your vices? anxiety, mood swings, short attention span, lack of motivation sometimes
10. What are your fears? ok don't laugh, but i really hate tiny little things that are all bunched up together. like bunches of grapes or fish gills or the seeds in bell peppers. or herpes. there's something about looking at things like that that make me very physically uncomfortable

12. How are you with expressing emotion in public? it depends...i don't like to express negative emotions "in public", but i can express them with other people around. it just depends on who. positive emotions? always.
13. How do you think people saw you in high school? How do you think people see you now?high school is over and i'll be quite pleased if i never have to revisit those times again. nothing bad ever happened, it just wasn't important. i talk to hardly anyone from that time in my life and it really didn't have that much of an impact compared to my last couple years of life. i think most people now see me as a passionate, crazy individual. which i'd say is accurate.
And finally....
14. What do you see as the point to your life and life in general?to make things as best as i can for everyone i can

Questions
6. What career are you in or looking to be in? What are you doing right now to help you achieve this career goal?
Secondary Education, High School Science Teacher. Getting teaching certification, already have Bachelor's of Science degree.

7. What is your friendships like with both genders? How many good friends do you have and why are you friends with these people?
I tend to get along well with both genders. I have one close male bff, and 6 close female friends. I am friends with them because we have core shared values.

8. What paranoias do you have?
Whenever I hear people laughing, I think that they're laughing at me.

9. What are your vices?
Anxiety, sensitivity, stubbornness, prone to melancholia.

10. What are your fears?
Other than the obvious, death, there's heights.

11. What is your relationship like with your parents? siblings (if you had any)?
No siblings. Very close relationship with my parents.

12. How are you with expressing emotion in public?
I don't like to get melodramatic in public, I feel a bit uncomfortable in that zone. I smile and laugh easily, but I prefer not to make too much noise and draw too much attention to myself. When it comes to tears, I hide them as much as I can. I don't really like crying in public.

13. How do you think people saw you in high school? How do you think people see you now?
In high school, my peers saw me as someone who knew exactly what I wanted and how to get there, sweet, gentle, and intelligent. My teachers saw me as being independently minded with various interests, hard-working, and determined. Now, I think people in college see me as being quiet, intelligent, confident, and supportive. I tend to come across as being logical and intellectual initially, but if I feel comfortable around someone, I reveal my emotional side, but it's selective.

And finally....

14. What do you see as the point to your life and life in general?
Life is what you make of it. Life is too short, so one must live it to its fullest, reach their full potential. It is full of challenges, and it is not easy, but overcoming these challenges is what helps us to grow as individuals. I think the point of my life is to overcome whatever challenge comes my way, and learn and grow from these experiences. Life is the only one we have, therefore, live it, breathe it, savor it.

Questions


6. What career are you in or looking to be in? What are you doing right now to help you achieve this career goal? I'm interested in psychology and will probably start my studies in the end of the summer. What I do that to achieve it, well I stay sharp by digesting massive amounts of information.

7. What is your friendships like with both genders? How many good friends do you have and why are you friends with these people? I have a wide range of acquaintances. But few close friends. The reason I'm close to my friends (and that I consider them as such) is simply because they are logical, friendly, intelligent and I have somewhat trust in them, as they do in me.

8. What paranoias do you have? Big crowds of people. They stand around and mouthbreath like sweaty pigs everywhere. It's disgusting really.

9. What are your vices? This list could go on forever, but to mention a few I'm a sugar addict, neat-freak, machiavellian by nature etc.

10. What are your fears?
Not being able to control various aspects of my life.

11. What is your relationship like with your parents? siblings (if you had any)?
Alright, my dad is a ESTJ and mom is an ESFJ. (neurotic sensor power-combo -_-) No need to mention how I got/get along with people in authority, I'm sure you can figure. I've got a brother and a sister as well. Sis is ENTP and bro is ISTJ. We get along ok.

12. How are you with expressing emotion in public? I don't.

13. How do you think people saw you in high school? How do you think people see you now? I was the basic strange/creepy loner type I guess. But now that I'm no longer forced to attend school with a bunch of pathetic insects. I just hang out with people I like, and share a mutual respect with.

And finally....
14. What do you see as the point to your life and life in general?
There's no good reason to live or to die, I just do.

2. Are you male or female? Female.
3. What country do you live in now? What country are you born in? The Netherlands.
4. What cultural background are you? West-European.
5. What religion are you? Uhm, my own "religion", which is actually more a natural spirituality based on my own experiences.
What religion is your family? None.

Questions
6. What career are you in or looking to be in? Well, I don't know it precisely yet, but I think some combination of a writer, philosopher and scientist.
What are you doing right now to help you achieve this career goal? In September I'm going to study philosophy at university. And I write stories and articles for myself.
7. What is your friendships like with both genders? How many good friends do you have and why are you friends with these people? I have three friends, two female and one male. I'm friends with these people because... I like them? I just feel comfortable around them and can share personal stuff with them and they don't think I'm crazy. Or perhaps they do, but they see it as a positive thing.
8. What paranoias do you have? None, I think. Though I often think people think or talk negatively about me, which is often not the case.
9. What are your vices? Well, I'm can be impatient if I have to deal with lazy people who don't work effectively. I also hate any form of critic or advice and have difficulty dealing with it, so people think I'm arrogant. And I have difficulty telling people personal issues, so they think I'm shallow.
10. What are your fears? That I die before I can do what I want to do in my life. I'm also afraid of physical pain... and spiders.
11. What is your relationship like with your parents? siblings (if you had any)? I think my relationship with them is good.. though maybe a little bit impersonal. I don't tell them personal stuff, or at least not often. And I can't taken any advice from them. I have two sisters, who I really like, but I also don't tell them a lot, but I think I tell them a lot more than I do to my parents.
12. How are you with expressing emotion in public? Very bad. I actually don't express any emotion in public. It's even rare if I express emotions by my best friends. I often feel my emotions only when I'm alone in my room and then I begin to analyze them. Maybe a strange way, but I can't help it.
13. How do you think people saw you in high school? How do you think people see you now? For me these two questions are the same.. I've just graduated from high school. Or at least I don't have the results or a diplom, but I know I did my exams very well. People saw me as serieus, shy, shallow, self-absorbed. They didn't know I had a life outside school, because I never showed it to them. So they thought my whole life was based on school, learning and getting high marks. (Which was definitely not the case.)
14. What do you see as the point to your life and life in general? I don't know the point of life in general, maybe it doesn't even have a point. The point of my own life is self-realisation. I also want to find a new way to look at reality and the human mind, and express this view to the world, so maybe the world can become a better place. :)

I might as well do one of these...

Backgound
1. What is your personality type?
INTP

2. Are you male or female?
Female

3. What country do you live in now? What country are you born in?
Born in Ontario, Canada, still living there

4. What cultural background are you?
German on both sides. My mother's family has been in Canada for generations though, and my father's parents grew up in Eastern Europe.

5. What religion are you? What religion is your family?
My mother's family is Roman Catholic, and I went to Catholic school as a child. My father's parents were Nazarenes, but my dad eventually rejected organized religion and took up a ton of new agey "spiritual" beliefs (ESP, auras, reincarnation and remembering past lives, communication with spirits...). He is thoroughly convinced that society is set up to prevent us from "seeing" the "truth" about our psychic, spiritual selves, and he, naturally, is one of the few people insightful enough to "see" it nevertheless.

Oh, and I'm an atheist and naturalist, so both my parents wonder where they went wrong.



Questions


6. What career are you in or looking to be in? What are you doing right now to help you achieve this career goal?

I have a degree in molecular biology, and it doesn't seem like I can do anything with it. I have no work experience in science, it seems my marks are unlikely to be good enough for grad school or professional school, and I'm not very interested in training to be a nurse or medical technologist, which is what a lot of other people in the same boat are doing. I regret spending all that time and money on my degree.

I don't know what I want to do really. I don't feel excited about any career possibilities. I don't look at any job description and think, YES! That is so me! <Insert typical INTP whinery about how the world isn't set up for people like me>


7. What is your friendships like with both genders? How many good friends do you have and why are you friends with these people?

Nonexistent. I avoided people when I was young because of severe social anxiety, and to this day I can't seem to figure out how to relate to them, besides saying the standard banal things people say to be polite. I'm not anxious anymore, but I'm frustrated with not being able to get anywhere meaningful, and interaction usually feels like a waste.

8. What paranoias do you have?

I'm not paranoid really. It's hard to be paranoid when you have a hard time believing anyone is even remotely interested in you.


9. What vices do you have?

Ugh. Well, there's the almost complete lack of social skills I mentioned. I can also be ridiculously passive and avoidant when it comes to be problems, and spend hours reading or web surfing instead of doing anything to help myself. These days I'm feeling very pessimistic and helpless to change anything. I can overthink things to the point of paralysis. I have low self-confidence. I also have a hard time speaking my mind, especially in person.

10. What are your fears?

I'm afraid things won't ever get better and I'll never matter. That I'll never feel like I exist outside my head. This is getting heavier than I'd intended...


11. What is your relationship like with your parents? siblings (if you had any)?

Mother (ISFJ): We get along all right, we help each other in practical ways, we do things together. We don't understand each other very well or share many common interests, so I don't know if I'd call us "close".

Father (effed up ENTP): We had a good relationship in some ways when I was growing up. He made a point of being involved with me, and encouraged my interest in psychology and science. But it seemed he was always talking at me, performing for me, trying to prove how brilliant he was and get me to admire him and agree with him on everything. When I didn't he acted patronizing and pushy, like something must be very wrong in my head and he needed to figure it out and fix it. He did this even when talking about my own thoughts, feelings and experiences: he'd declare what they were and argue with me if I tried to speak for myself. When I was younger and didn't have many thoughts of my own, I liked being around him for the most part. The more I began to develop my own ideas the more things broke down between us. We don't talk much these days, and that's my choice. I have enough problems and I don't want to deal with how I feel around him.

Half-brother (ISTP, 15 years old): We're cool with each other. We both carry this casual, flippant attitude most of the time, and we bounce remarks off each other and watch Discovery channel and Comedy Network and call each other dipshits. He's gotten kinda withdrawn lately though. He plays computer games in his room all the time, doesn't want to be with his family much.


12. How are you with expressing emotion in public?

I don't. I don't want people to see my emotional reactions. It's pretty effortless anyway; I tend not to feel things that strongly until I'm alone.

13. How do you think people saw you in high school? How do you think people see you now?

In high school, smart, but weird and awkward, an odd loner. Now...probably friendly, but rather quiet and bland.

14. What do you see as the point to your life and life in general?

Blah.
