Everyone else has one of these, I might as well get one as well. Plus, I think I need an outside perspective on this, as I'm clearly getting nowhere by myself.
Anyway, here’s some crap about me to go on:
- I can handle myself fine in social situations (so long as the people interest me), but too much external stimuli tends to make me irritable, distracted, and I can’t seem to think properly after that point.
- The average extravert will overpower me, whereas I overpower the average introvert.
- When I need to work something out, I generally like to make lists, such as I’m doing now. Seeing everything in its discrete parts tends to help me organize my thoughts.
- I like knowing what I’m going to do before I do it, and as such I tend to like to plan everything far out in advance. For instance, when I was in the ninth grade and I thought I wanted to go into medicine, I already knew which hospital I wanted to do my residency at.
- I really dislike doing things that I’m uninterested in doing, and while I’ll do it if I’m forced to, I tend to ignore it when I can. This includes not studying for courses that I’m uninterested in, even at the cost of my grades. For subjects I am interested in, I can generally determine how long it’ll take me to get a certain grade, and I tend not to put in much effort above that. I get the ‘wasted potential’ comment a lot.
- My routines tend to have a certain fluidity to them. Basically, I like to organize my routine by the way one thing will logically flow into another.
- As much as I like things to be in order, I’m horribly disorganized. And yet I can’t work in an area that is disorganized. I haven’t really found an appropriate cure.
- I’m very gesticulate. Very. I gave a speech in English once that is apparently still used as an example for what not to do during speeches. Also, when I can’t remember a word for whatever reason, my instinct is to try and mime it until someone else figures it out for me.
- I dislike conflict that’s actually conflict. Debating is fun and entertaining, but I don’t like when things are actually an argument. I don’t like seeing people in pain, and while I don’t go out of my way to help people necessarily, I do feel the need to help people. Of course, it’s not really taken as help, as I like to help the situation rather than the emotional state.
- When I was younger, I used to use the phrase “technically speaking” all of the time, because I tended to have issues with people not defining things correctly.
- Er, I also evidently have problems with being concise.
That’s all I can really think of at the moment. There’s only two things I’m positive of: Firstly, I’m not an Se-dom or Se-aux. My two younger siblings as well as a former best friend of mine are all Se-doms and I know what it looks like in terms of behaviour, and I definitely do not relate. Secondly, I think it’s clear that I’m a thinker of some sorts rather than a feeler. One of my main arguments for being ENTP or INTJ is that while I am a thinker, I’m not a complete feel-o-tard. Basically, I don’t think I’m T enough to be a T-dom.
