Hi, I've compiled some questions from a few questionnaires and was hoping on some feedback to find my most likely type 
1. What type of activities do you enjoy/not enjoy?
I enjoy activities that have results, something where I can set myself a goal and work for it. I like things like art, reading and watching TV however I find myself getting restless and impatient with them. When I'm watching TV I will be texting and doing online research and eating all at the same time and when I try to paint I get so fed up of sitting there I get up and start pacing. I enjoy sports like swimming (I used to swim competitively and loved it for all sorts of reasons, the water, the competition, my team and the sense of achievement that comes with hears of self discipline) where I can set myself goals in the short and long term. With our targets to reach, I find myself unfocused and easily bored and struggle doing things 'just for fun' with some form of reward (be it a gold medal or the sense of pride and accomplishment) or recognition.
2. How much have you changed over the years?
In some ways I've stayed the same, in some ways I haven't. I'm still quiet but not shy, I'm still quite a serious person and I'm very competitive and have to be the best. However, these days I'm less active sportswise (up until I was about 13 I swam and danced competitively, I'd be dancing 4 days a week plus the JA's of a pro company once a month and swimming everyday, often twice a day, with competitions and training camps on top of that and all of it along side school. My day would start at 4:45 and I'd get home around 9) and that means my day to day life is a lot less structured so I'm often at a loss with what to do with myself. This is really shown at school, I have no clue what I'm going to do after I leave, I've lost my hobbies and passions (though I'm slowly getting back into them) and without something to work towards, something I want to achieve, I don't really care about things. I'm also a lot more conscious of time these days and feel pressured to get things done, my mind is permanently going 'what next?'. In some ways though , I have changed for the better. I'm a lot more emotional now. Well not more emotional but much more accepting of emotion. I no longer see it as a weakness but everything, be it happiness, sadness, anger, fuels the thing I think is most important in life: passion. I'm not scared to admit I really love something, I'm more confident in my goals and I'm not embarrassed (I'm not fully sure if that's the right word but the feeling is like I'm not good enough, or there's people better than me who'll laugh at me if I have big dreams) by ambitious dreams. I'm also more appreciative of effort. I used to think if I couldn't get a shiny gold medal then why should I bother but looking back, its not the times I didn't win that are the moments i really wish I could forget but the moments I gave in or didn't give something 110%.
3. Are you interested in medicine/health as a topic?
Medicine no, health and fitness yes. I'm pretty knowledgeable about sport and health, I'm interested in nutrition and love reading about ways to physically better yourself. I could easily chat about diet and body type and sport (particularly elite sport) all day.
4. What do you think of daily chores?
Boring but necessary and there's nothing a great playlist can't make light work of
5. What do you dislike about yourself?
I dislike how I can be indecisive, restless, easily bored and occasionally fickle. I also hate how recently, I've been feeling very lost and unsure and its caused me to make bad decisions and am slowly turning into the thing of my nightmares: a quitter. I sometimes get a bit caught up in goals and targets and numbers and I forget to have fun so if I could change anything it would be so I could 'let go' a bit easier and just enjoy myself instead of taking things so seriously.
6. What type of people do you get along with?
Everyone. I'm a polite person, and provided I'm treated the same, there's no one I won't give a chance. My friends come from all friendship groups (the scientists, the artsy students, the jocks, the popular and the not-so-popular) and I judge people based on how they treat me, not what label they've been given. My biggest hate is rude and disrespectful people. Since I was little, I was generally drawn to people older than myself and I respect authority figures as generally speaking, they have had to work hard to get where they are. Don't confuse that with me being a blind follower though, respect still has to be earned and as for anyone who treats me like dirt (looking at my head of sixth form who in a recent spat called me 'childish, selfish and in need of professional mental help' , and after loudly voicing my not so nice opinions of her to anyone I could find, it turns out I'm not the only one who has been treated as such. So I really really hate her.), my level of respect, like, trust etc will go through the floor. Meritocracies are the way to go.
7. If a friend makes a claim that goes against your beliefs, what are your inward/outward reactions?
90% of the time I won't be fussed. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and provided it causes no one any physical or emotional harm, I'm not concerned with their opinions so inwardly and outwardly I'll be like 'great, that's nice' and carry on with my own life. On an occasion where the view is on something I feel passionate about or something harmful, I will Shut. Them. Down. I'll tell them to shut up, insult them, take their argument to pieces and give them my disgusted bitch face I reserve for special idiots. On the inside I will be looking at their view and comparing it to my own, looking for areas of similarity and difference.
8. What do you yearn for in life?
Happiness and passion. In an ideal world, I'd wake up and be able to go to a job that I love with all my heart.
9. It's a Saturday night and your favourite TV show is about to come on when a friend calls you asking you to come out. Whats your response?
Firstly, my friends wouldnt make that call because they know that Saturday night and sunday is 'me time' when I can chill and do whatever I want to do, by myself. If I go out on Saturday night, it will have been planned days in advance. But if the scenario were to happen,my anser would be no because if it were my favourite show, it will be in my 'mental schedule' and would have been planned into my day.
Thankyou
