Type Me via Collage

[Luminous]

Moving the photosets I cheatingly edited into added to [my previous post] and putting it in this new post instead.
Also added a new photoset, because Lumi told me to I can.

---

　　

If you want to interpret this particular photoset and do a clear/clean interpretation, don't open this following spoiler.

I don't usually use real people's faces nor do I like doing so, but the photos of this particular person was very striking to me, because it was similar in style (hairstyle, clothing, acessories) and expression (eyes, smile, even the eyebrows) to myself, that when I first saw it I had to do a double take. Basically, I can see myself doing the exact same pose in the exact same expression and clothes.

Disclaimer though, that I am nowhere near that handsome.

I love that first collage, so gorgeous. It feels very sp to me, with no people except in the second pic, and there being the comfort and security of the dwelling, and the fire, which is fully and safely contained. It feels cold otherwise, and withdrawn. It's very earthy, the rain, fire, blood red moon, stars, ocean, plants. But no sun, no blue sky, just dark night. The earthiness combined with the red and the fire makes me think sp/sx. The withdrawl makes me think of 5, there's very much a tone of withdrawing into one's own cocoon for warmth and shelter from the outside cold.I love the symmetry.

For the second, again we have night. It's a peaceful night, there are clouds and waves, but they're not overwhelming. It feels serene. Calm, contemplative. It feels like becoming one with nature that way, so I can see influence from 9, and 4, and possibly 5, all the withdrawn types.The colors are largely black, blue, and a bit of red. I think it also feels very sp. It's contained, collected, but there's a fire burning, and appreciation for both the light and the darkness.

For the third, we have more bright color, daytime, and a person who looks relaxed and friendly. There's movement with the waves at eye level and the birds flying. There's activity, and not just a sense of observation of activity, more involvement. This feels more so/sp. It's also somewhat polished. I think I'd lean toward 9 or 3 for it because it's serene but it also feels like an image of serenity. So I think 3 moreso than 9.

So overall you got a lot of sp, 5, 9, and 3.

 

[RadicalDoubt]

Skipping ahead to you, because I have done yours already and can breeze through these faster, mostly because I think they contain more or less the same messages.

Thank you for the analysis! You're always so thorough with your analyses and you tend to pick up on aspects of my collages that are sometimes passed over in analysis, probably because you have the context of actually speaking with me to work with (then again, I don't think my collages themselves are too tough to interpret either). I really liked the addition of adding sort of an extra bit about my avatar choice too.

Yeah I made these collages sort of out of the blue and immediately upon looking back on them, I figured they'd be typed 6 for sure. They're a lot more "6-y" than my other collages in terms of the sort of uneasy contrast for sure, a lot of times I'll get 9 or 5 or something along those lines.

I am supposed to take things from collage alone, but I'd poke towards an external source: your avatars themselves. The people you use in your avatars, I have a sense of 'hand me downs' and that the items worn are basically 'handed down' to you from the world, almost like you are wearing them simply because you have to. A focus on utility and practicality (giving me 6w5 over 5w6) but barely of self-expression or identity. Almost like you are not quite sure where in this world you belong, so you let the world put the 'clothes' on for you, because that is what the world needs.

Gotta be honest, this paragraph almost pissed me off, not because it was offensive in any shape or form or because I'm defensive (ect ect ect), but because sentiment wise you're like... Really super close to the truth there and this is something in particular that makes me angry at myself and was borderline painful to read lol. Even though this is probably a fairly obvious me thing, I don't really talk about this often and it is one of the things that "sold me" on 6w5 over 5w6 for my core, so it's funny you brought it up as collage analysis evidence for 6w5.

and the rocks (?)

Close enough. They were mountains technically, but I put them outside just so the collage would flow a bit better and it sort of made it look like a gradient of sorts.

Tiny note for you too and others, that Befunky lets you resize on the spot and allows for very custom dimensions via dragging around the collage borders (it also saves in pleasingly high-quality), does not require a sign-in, and is available on both mobile and PC. If you sign up, your saved images carry over devices. If not, you can resize using your own mobile device or good ol MS Paint. If you are an Apple user, then whatever equivalent. Online resizing tools also exist.

(There I go, sounding like a salesman again)

Lol don't worry about sounding like a salesman, it's useful information. This is good to note because I actually do use Befunky, but on mobile. It's worth noting as an addition to this that less obnoxiously sized images are exclusively from the online site, although the fact that I'm using image links from my tumblr might be screwing everything up, although the images don't come up half as big as they do here on tumblr? I have no clue what's going on tbh, I might just use the online site for personal collages in the future.

[Luminous]

Here's some new ones of mine, somewhat quickly made. I'll come back to analyze others in time:

Edit: If anyone knows how to change the sizing of these, that sort of knowledge would be greatly appreciated... I'm not a fan of blurry collage images

Oh wow, I love your images! They are so honestly raw.

The first one: Ah, I love it! sp/so 4, 5, 6. We've got blues and reds. It's somewhat disturbing in tone. There's eyeballs, and people with no faces, or even missing a head. There are pictures that would be peaceful if they weren't interposed with the others, matching their colors. We've got raw texture with the paint, a face replaced with a warning, disconnection, breaking through the water, pots in disarray, darkness broken by raw red light. The disconnection feels 5 and sp, it's protection. The rawness feels 4 and somewhat sx because of intensity. The messaging of not being able to believe everything you think, in the changed meaning of some of the pics with their incorporation with the others, feels 6 so.

The second: Shades of black and white. Fear. Fighting. Being clawed and choked. Wishes blowing away. Turmoil. Raw honest unvarnished emotion. The balloon head feels very 5, it's a head with no body. All head. 6w5 with all the fear. sp.

The third: More color. There's a human face, but it's apprehensive. A deer caught in the road. Water with red and orange. Someone being reached for by many, many arms. Running, running, like a chicken. Neon colors trapped in a sphere. Fish trapped in a box. There's fear, there's confinement. It's disturbing, there's a need for protection. sp/so 6w7, I think, because of the colors, the fish being alive, the movement, the scattering.

 

[Luminous]

I did this one this morning, using Befunky stock images and some of my own.

It feels clean. Colorful. Varied, but focused primarily on nature, and the beauty of nature in many times and places. There's a sense of awe, of being alone in the world (though not in a bad way). It feels solid in a sense. It seems very 5 to me, with how in most of these, it's just observation, no action. The action there is, is a lone person trekking through nature. It also feels 9ish that way. Observation so deep, you can merge with what you are observing, and watch it slowly move, like the moon or the sun across the sky. sp/sx. There are no hints at other people, society, groups, or anything of that nature. It's just earth and sky.

 

[Hiraeth]

First impression: Oh dear.
A small disclaimer that I am not used to this style, so may be grossly misinterpreting it. And, I know none of these movies.
Let's get to it.

This entire set immediately screams Se, and -S-P to me. Those bright colours. Lots of Fi, too, self-characterization. Seems highly focused on sensory experience that you relate to or from which you derive personal meaning. -SFP.

That was too quick.

soc last, sx/sp due to the unabashed, unapologetic nature of the expression. "This is me, I am myself."

That was way too quick.


OVERALL

MBTI: -SFP, nothing particularly points to introversion or extroversion for me, but I may give I instead of E due to everything being in the personal realm (Fi) instead of how you interact with your environment (which I would expect from dom-Se).

Enneagram: 4w5 for obvious reasons, and double withdrawn. 7w6 or 6w7 due to the novelty, but without the w8 expansiveness. Would consider counterphobic 6 due to the rejection and 'social message' present in the images, "Take it from the man!" the flag, the "Fuck the clock" shirt. Lots of 'being myself and going against the grain' themes. Would give 6w7 over 7w6. For gut type, I'd chance 8, 8w7 due to a hint of expansiveness, novelty, and the only reason I hesitate is that it would give you a strong triple reactive type who is soc-last sx dom to boot, and I am not sure if that is really it. Purely to balance it out, I'll give 469, with the 9 being w8, even if I think 8 over 9 for you. A second choice would be 478 instead.

Thanks.

Both collages contain a polarity of both positive and negative elements, a theme I enjoy exploring.

The first one was admittedly more visceral and less conceptual in the making than the second, mainly images and ideas I identified with personally with a whimsy, ethereal, and otherworldly feel that I was trying to capture. However, there is a connection between certain images that contain cryptic elements of myself and wouldn't be apparent unless I explained them in detail.

The second one was planned out more thoroughly theme-wise and comprises film images that make much more sense in context. They add another dimension that would otherwise be hard to comprehend solely by viewing the collage itself. They fit the mood for where I decided to place them at the time (**also just wanted to add I didn't make these collages for this particular thread). The more yang elements on the left contain a series of strong women who I identify with on some level versus the yin side on the right that is more home to who I am naturally, but am trying to deviate from in order to become a stronger and more resilient version of myself, though with a much needed balance as a general rule of thumb for life itself (the idea that there is both the masculine and feminine in everything in varying degrees).

So yeah, on the surface it may not seem like much is going on, just a bunch of colorful images, but I wanted to go further than that. I was experimenting with each and am always trying to do something different, even knowing that it won't necessarily get the best reception. Hopefully it wasn't too much of an eyesore, but understandably I know not everyone is going to like this sort of style.

I figured there was deeper meaning. I wouldn't outright call it an eyesore, but tough to decipher especially due to how contextual it is, so I ended up summing everything up simply (the whole of what I perceive it to mean), knowing I'd probably miss the nuance and hints or any deeper meaning from these specific films and specific characters. As a fellow artist, I'd say that experimentation is always a risk worth taking.

That's alright. I totally figured it would be perceived in a much different way than I had in mind, so this is all interesting either way. Thanks again!

So overall you got a lot of sp, 5, 9, and 3.

The first collage does have a person. Here:

Also, I feel it interesting that you note that this is calm, peaceful, and serene, as opposed to @Peter Deadpan's dead opposite interpretation of pained darkness from a similarly styled collage I did. I won't mention who did the correct interpretation or if either is correct at all, but I found it very interesting that the exact same style (all those photos are from the same pinterest board) yielded two very different interpretations. To be fair to her, the housing probably took off an edge of darkness so to speak, from this one of mine.

I enjoyed this interpretation. Thank you.

My pleasure. Yours was one I was excited to do, mostly due what I perceived to be conflicting themes within, and it being a style I could enjoy.
And, apologies. I am at times not sure how much of what I saw I should expose but at the same time, it is a public collage, so I consider it fair game.

 

[Luminous]

Here is one I made for myself

And three I made for anonymous (not-so-anonymous these days)collage thread -> which I highly recommend to see, because there are some pearls
The Anonymous Collage Thread
The Anonymous Collage Thread 1.2

Representation of what I appreciate in the world

Fictional characters I relate to

Representation of myself

Oooh, maybe once this thread calms down, we can do another Anonymous Collage thread!

Your first collage is jaw-droppingly gorgeous! Just strikingly beautiful. I'm not sure that I can do it justice, frankly, but I will try. The lines seem to me to be representative of all that binds us in society, the rules, the roles, the steps we go through to get somewhere, and how it attempts to reduce us to less than we are. But the people in the collage, they are moving, living, they are in the light, they are being who they are despite the lines that could be holding them back and in. It's black and white, with striking symmetry, with the hard lines of society broken by the softer lines of the people. I would say either sx/so or so/sx because of the relationship between the two I mentioned above, society vs the individual. I'm not sure whether to say sx dom or so dom. I think it's high in Fi, and I would guess the influence of 4 and 1. 4 because of the people being who they are, and 1 because it's so striking in its lines and symmetry that it has a recognition and feeling of striving for perfection.

The second has a lot of natural beauty, and appreciation of wonder and fun in an innocent, childlike way. It's experiencing life in its glorious beauty. I think 4 and 9 and 7 with those themes. I think most likely sx dom.

I'm going to skip the characters because I don't recognize most of them.

For the last one, we have a very diverse group of pictures. A loving, affectionate couple. A woman with masks, like Eleanor Rigby. A woman in a brightly colored scene, interacting and observing nature. Astronomy. Another woman in a colorful scene, gently interacting with a butterfly. And lastly, a creepy pic that says blind, has a person with eyes closed and threatening faceless handless figures. Emphasis on masks, facelessness, finding comfort with a special other, and nature lead me to 4. The astronomy... 4w5. The enjoyment and interaction with nature, 7.

 

[Luminous]

Here you go. Interesting you mention social, when I think of 'social' things, other kinds of images pop in mind than the ones I put above.

It's difficult to separate how well I already know you from the images, but I'll try anyway. There's a certain image focus in the first you posted so 3. There's a restrained heat, and a calming observer vibe, 8 and 5sp. I see Ni (I think). Also the layout is beautiful. I wonder if the symmetry may reflect J.

The first still strikes me as 3, being very image focused, with tinges of 8 with the posing in the middle, and 5 with the emotion on the right.

The second is 4ish with Jekyll and Hyde (I wish I could remember where I read it, but recently saw that mentioned in a 4 description), though I think that could also imply 8 with going back and forth between brute strength and vulnerability. Or sp/sx with a push - pull. The photos in the middle also read sx to me because of intensity, water, beauty, fire, but it's a contained intensity.

The third is where I got the calming observer vibe, as we are only observing as the viewer in these pics which appreciate the beauty of nature in the bottom 3 rows. They have a restrained heat despite the coldness implied with the darkness, which would lead me to 5sp/sx. The top row is a bit creepy, and lends a fantastical feeling, so 5w4.

The last one I do think is cold. It's all in tones of black and white. There is no fire lighting it up, there's no shelter, no heat. The one on the right has moonlight and does by itself feel calm, but the others feel lonely, icy, and comfortless. It makes me think of a sad 5sp, or possibly 4 or 9. The latest one I looked at felt comforting because of the dwelling, the contained peace, the warmth of the fire in the cold night.

I apologize for not fleshing these out well enough to start with. Also, I'm trying really hard not to allow what others say to influence what I say. - I'm trying to avoid reading until I've analyzed the collages myself.

Edited to add: I wonder how much of the way we (you and I) interpret these differently is due to T vs F.

Oh dear, you didn't have to. These collages aren't particularly me save for the last one, but thank you.
And people are going to interpret differently, I imagine so even among the same types. I wouldn't be posting here if I did not expect that.

Also, a new Anon collage game thread would be fun. I am legitimately afraid my style has mostly been given away, though.

 

[Luminous]

We've got a couple on fire, a seductive woman, and seize the night on the first row. Clearly sx, but 2 or 4? The couple seems 4ish, but the seductive red lips and nails feels very 2sx. Seize the night, 7ish, along with the emphasis on pleasure.

The second row with its owls and lightning gives us a feeling of respect for wisdom, and for nature. It's strong. It finds comfort in nature, even with the distant storm. 4w5 or 5w4. I think it lends some sp to the collage. We protect ourselves with wisdom.

The third row has a sensual looking angel, you- beautiful lady joking about drinking the blood of your enemies, and a beautiful portrait of a lady playfully looking toward the viewer, though her eyes are hidden. We've got beauty, strength, humor, feistiness, and the last one has an air of I'm gonna enjoy myself whatever you think . Sx. 4, and 7.

On the top row we've got a passionate couple and fantastical beauty. 4 and 7 sx.

Second row: An appreciation for weirdos, owls - knowledge and wisdom, and a beautiful library - more wisdom. 5sx

Third row: There's a bird sitting in a tree that looks like a bird. It's surreal, fantastic. There's the pleasure and comfort of coffee, visually appealing coffee. And a seductive fantastical woman looking intensely at the viewer without the mask she's taken off. Though she might be vulnerable without the mask, she just looks seductive, which feels 2sx to me, combined with the pleasure and fantasy aspects of 7. The coffee also reads 7. I'm sorry I'm not sure how to take the bird tree... birds could seem 7, but this could easily be 4 or 5, I think.

Overall it's very sx, either 2 or 4, and 7, with some 5 added in. I don't really see anything to reflect the gut triad, I'd go with 9 if I had to because of the lack of 1 or 8.

Imgur: The magic of the Internet
I wanna say 8w9 for gut? It exudes confidence-sassy look to the woman, the owls spreading their wings, the fairy looking into the sky. But then there's the peacefulness of the moon and setting sun. Sx/So

 

[Luminous]

Imgur: The magic of the Internet

I like this. There's a mingling of pastels and darker colors. A sense of childlike wonder and fun, mixed with an appreciation for the beauty of the universe. A sense of enjoying life until you get a brain-freeze. Which all seems quite 7 like. I think there's also some 9 there, with the calm of bed, book, and tea, the quiet peace of a snowy forest, losing one's self in a game, or in the emotional kaleidoscope of music. 7 is first, though, I think, because of the emphasis on sucking the marrow out of life (or the universe as the case is here!) I would guess sx/sp because of the intensity of experience and the comfort of home.

 

[Zhaylin]

The first collage does have a person. Here:

It's hard for me to interpret the picture. I get an overall sense of sadness from it. The area is open, but the balcony looks like fractals to me- uniform angles, a certain sharpness. I thought it was a window, at first, and that the bottom of the window had slight frost on it... but I think it's an archway or glass door and the area beyond is a little wet from rain. Yet, the "inside" has a similar shiny appearance. It just feels cold and bleak. Overcast.
The person seems overly tall and much too thin, lol; yet has long hair which suggests good health even if the body seems frail and/or sickly.
The person is doing something nurturing- tending to the bonsai trees (?). But, in all that empty space- other than the plants- he's the only sign of life and activity.
And what's with the build-up of clippings? Are the trees between seasons, dying, being brought back to health?

It just feels lonely.

 

[Luminous]

I am going to make a post which is like an index of collages, so that it's easier for everyone to go back and type them... Yes, I'm crazy.

[Snow as White]

juxtaposition of birds and thinking and intelligence and value of the mind with the ability to drop the shoulder down and get those eyes saying come hither lets play. wings speak of freedom but are grounded so not freedom yet. a lot of warmth of color and subject. feels reserved and in control but not unhealthily. hidden realm tucked away.

there is a purpose, a story.

eyes averted except through avatars, the birds, the side of a mask.

feels sp over sx. possibly 9 with 5.
