I’ve completed and submitted multiple questionnaires and I don’t think they represent me well, however, one is posted toward the end.
How to describe myself….
I would say that I’m a pretty reserved person, because I feel like I get my energy from being alone, however, if you asked my friends, they’d say I’m extroverted. I prefer to fit in rather than standout.
As for relationships, I’m great at making many acquaintances (talking to a lot of people), but terrible at letting anyone close enough to be considered a friend. I don’t really like intimate relationships as the maintenance is too much for me and I often end up feeling bored, unsatisfied, and boxed in, at which point I end it.
What I dislike about myself is procrastinating too much, not because I don’t want to do the work, but because I don’t do drafts or anything and what comes out of my head is generally final. So, I guess I procrastinate because I’m a bit of a perfectionist.
Image and being fashionable are both important to me. I’m image conscious because I like to look good for myself. I’m fashion conscious because I just like aesthetically pleasing stuff, idk why. Maybe because surrounding myself with pleasing things puts me in a better mood.
Some activities that enjoy are learning foreign languages, rock climbing, a good session of banter/being witty, browsing the web, tumblr, Netflix/popcorn time, music, going out for food, baking, some cooking, and traveling.
What makes me feel secure would be knowing where and what I’m doing in the present moment. The future makes me insecure.
As a child I was very aggressive and would start fights and whatnot—a very aggressive 8. But now, I’m very passive and passive aggressive in order to contain the aggression. Idk if that’s healthy or not, but it seems to be working.
So, in general, I’m a pretty quiet person when in my comfy space---I don’t even like to talk to my roommates, but one I leave the room, I can turn from being quiet to outgoing.
Below I’ve pasted a questionnaire
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) What aspect of your personality made you unsure of your type?
I’m social to a fault, meaning I will socialize with people out of boredom/entertainment, but I think that I’m introverted. I work retail, so by the end of my shift, I’m beyond done with dealing with people. Idk. Maybe I’m some sort of introverted extrovert?
2) What do you yearn for in life? Why?
I'm not really sure. I'm still trying to figure that out. I just want to figure out who I am and where to go in general.
3) Think about a time where you felt like you were at your finest. Tell us what made you feel that way.
When I’m at college because I’m able to enjoy myself, rather then when at home, I have to act a certain way for my religious parents.
4) What makes you feel inferior?
The feeling of being boxed in not having any other options
Feeling incompetent compared to other people (who I admire for their intelligence)
Failing at something, but that's something that I’ve learned to live with; it's part of life
5) What tends to weigh on your decisions? (Do you think about people, pro-cons, how you feel about it, etc.)
Usually pro-cons. I speak my mind, but when I’ve realized I’ve upset someone, I try to better convey my original message. Most times, I like to push people’s buttons though
6) When working on a project what is normally your emphasis? Do you like to have control of the outcome?
I usually try to get my part done and ensure that the project is up to par with the rest of the group members and up to par with how the person who assigns it expects it.
7) Describe us a time where you had a lot of fun. How is your memory of it?
When I went to Brazil and convinced my father (ENFJ) that he shouldn't plan and should just go with the flow. I liked being there and learning the language, culture, and social issues. That's was lots of fun for me.
8) When you want to learn something new, what feels more natural for you? (Are you more prone to be hands on, to theorize, to memorize, etc)
I'm hands on and great at memorization. I like being able to see patterns and memorizing what I need. For some reason, I tend to cram rather than study because I work better under pressure.
9) How organized do you to think of yourself as?
Well, as a college student living in a dorm, I keep my area clean and organized because I’m being considerate of my roommate, but at home, my room is a mess and very disorganized.
10) How do you judge new ideas? You try to understand the principles behind it to see if they make sense or do you look for information that supports it?
I do both. It depends on the material. My go to is to look for information that supports it.
11) You find harmony by making sure everyone is doing fine and belonging to a given group or by making sure that you follow what you believe and being yourself?
The latter
12) Are you the kind that thinks before speaking or do you speak before thinking? Do you prefer one-on-one communication or group discussions?
I speak before thinking and improvise my answer. I most definitely prefer one-on-one communication, but I have no problem with group discussions.
13) Do you jump into action right away or do you like to know where are you jumping before leaping? Does action speaks more than words?
I like to know where I am jumping before leaping. Action does speak louder than words, IMO. Most people can say "sorry" all they want, but if they continue doing that action and saying "sorry," then it becomes empty words.
14) It's Saturday. You're at home, and your favorite show is about to start. Your friends call you for a night out. What will you do?
I'd stay in and watch something instead of going out.
15) How do you act when you're stressed out?
I become very irritable and moody. Sometimes, when I’m beyond stressed, I become so sad that it feels like depression. As a way of coping, I tend to distract myself by talking to people or watching Netflix.
16) What makes you dislike the personalities of some people?
I don’t care for overly dramatic people and arrogance
17) Is there anything you really like talking about with other people?
Linguistics/Anthropology and foreign languages
18) What kind of things do pay the least attention to in your life
I don't care for watching sports, going to concerts, or focused on going out and getting drunk/laid.
19) How do your friends perceive you? What is wrong about their perception? ? What would your friends never say about your personality?
People think I’m extroverted. They also think I’m pretty smart, but I just consider what I know as common sense. My humor is pretty witty, dark, and perverse. My friends also know that even though I’m very direct, which sometimes that may not sit well with some people, I can also be diplomatic.
