Sorry. Internet was out.
1) What aspect of your personality made you unsure of your type?
Well I show a lot of typical INTP traits (such as being analytical, being very socially awkward, and having a high IQ) but I also have strong opinions, think common courtesy is important, and place high value on efficiency. I see all of the judging functions in myself, and I'm not sure which one I use most often.
I think all introverted types (assuming they aren't braindead), as well as many extroverted types are highly analytical in their own individual ways. It depends on what it is you're analyzing I suppose. Do you mean in the Ti sense of you're trying to create subjective logical understandings of X for yourself? This kind of ties into what people suggest is "high IQ" because it creates a storage of information over time, combined with the Ne ability to see many perspectives/options.
Efficiency is more of a extroverted judging ideal, whereas I would describe introverted judging as being concerned with effectiveness. Je is interested in reaching a desired result regardless of the means necessary. Ji is interested in enjoying the ride, so to speak. They'll "take the long way home" if they see more rewards on that path, and can still reach their desired destination (or they may not even need a destination to begin with, perhaps the purpose is simply to journey).
2) What do you yearn for in life? Why?
Excitement. I've found that I'm almost attracted to semi-dangerous situations just because they might bring excitement.
While I think that many humans have an attraction to this, and it may actually not be function-related, my inclination is to suggest that it is inferior Se. You're trying to tap into your more complete self by stepping out of your analytical, detached Ni dominance and be fully embraced and shocked in the moment. It makes you feel totally alive, and therefore you take risks such as reckless speeding. I have a INTJ friend who races against cops and makes a lot of poorly coordinated, but still generally "successful" Se-driven choices.
I think here age may play a large factor. If you're still in your 20s-30s, I think it could be a number of things that come with your "second phase." If INxJ, it's exploration of the Te-Se together. If INxP, it could also be Ne-Fe or Ne-Te, but they would likely be more situational urges and not done for the sake of physical stimulation. I would still suggest that things you might perceive of as mental stimulation, such as Russian roulette, are likely done for the sake of the sensation. It shocks your nerves, fight-or-flight, a pull between control and helplessness. If you're already developed past the second phase, then perhaps you're actually an SP.
3) Think about a time where you felt like you were at your finest. Tell us what made you feel that way.
When I got my SAT scores. I didn't do much studying but I still did well. It made me feel like I had more worth than I originally thought.
Seems like the age question has been answered. You're probably somewhat recently graduated from high school. I also get satisfaction from not studying and then doing well. In fact, I find that studying normally has such a minor impact, that it rarely outweighs the desire to do other things instead. I can't speak for other types on this. But I find that I can easily spot patterns and such in tests, and absorb material once only to not have it be very effective to reread the same crap over and over. I would rather actually participate in it next or put it in a different context, to gain a more complete understanding of it.
4) What makes you feel inferior?
My appearance and how awkward I am compared to most people. It seems that most others, women especially, are naturally attuned to things like what to say in formal situations and how to do hair, makeup, etc. I can't figure any of it out and trying is almost painful.
I'd suggest lack of or inferior Fe/Te. But this could be any INxx type, but makes INFJ slightly less likely. A majority of people are SFJ, and that's probably where many of those beauty standards, conversational standards, etc. come from. As an IN type, I'm surprised you haven't already found your own "individualistic" image yet, and dress how you feel expresses yourself without giving a shit about social norms in any instance. Can you "not figure any of it out," because it doesn't make logical sense to you, because you don't agree with its social value, or because it simply doesn't appear to have value outside of others believing that it does?
5) What tends to weigh on your decisions? (Do you think about people, pro-cons, how you feel about it, etc.)
I weigh the pros and cons for most things, but when the decision is emotional (like deciding between two potential relationship partners) I am afraid of making the wrong decision so I end up just letting things work themselves out.
Perceiving. Weighing pros and cons is very general, but has more of a Ti implication. I can't really understand why you wouldn't know your preference between two partners though, are you that indifferent generally?
6) When working on a project what is normally your emphasis? Do you like to have control of the outcome?
I don't understand this question at all o.o
I use that face too! They're basically asking if you're judging or perceiving.
7) Describe a time where you had a lot of fun. How is your memory of it?
I was hanging out with my boyfriend, his cousin, and my friend. We were taking turns playing Rock Band and Left 4 Dead while whoever wasn't playing at the time watched and made sarcastic comments. After a while we all sat at a table and played blitz. My memory of it is sort of... selective, I guess. I remember what we did as well as vivid two-second moments, but I don't remember much of the conversation that was going on or anything like that.
Ne-Si. (2-3)
8) When you want to learn something new, what feels more natural for you?
"More natural"? Were there choices that were left out?
Perhaps it's asking where you begin the process. I agree that it's too vague.
9) How organized do you think of yourself as?
Usually not at all. I procrastinate a lot and I hate cleaning. I do tend to like lists, though. I guess I'd say I'm organized about information, but not about material things or deadlines.
INxP.
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?
Usually a pretty even mix of both. I try to understand the person's reasoning first, but if I'm interested enough, I'll look into it more. If it's worth anything, I usually can't take an idea seriously if it's only presented with "principals." I don't like feeling manipulated or guilted into supporting something when I don't have all the facts.
Leans toward T.
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?
I think it's more important to find compromises and avoid conflict, but I'm also not going to pretend to have values that are completely opposite of my actual values. I avoid situations like this rather than making it awkward or causing a confrontation. For example, I don't go to a lot of family events because my family is very religious and I have a lot of problems with religion. I'm not going to pretend to support something I strongly dislike, but I'm also not going to show up and start a debate. If someone states an opinion that I disagree with, though, I hold back, try to see their reasoning, and say something like "that makes sense" or "I see where you're coming from."
This religious stance suggests Ti-Fe (1-4)
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 think before speaking, but I say something like "umm" to let the person know I heard them and am responding. Some people don't do this and it seems rather inconsiderate. I definitely prefer one-on-one conversations. I'm that person who gets interrupted or talked over in group conversations. Plus it's much easier to stay on topic when it's one-on-one.
Introverted. Ji would be my inclination.
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?
This one is sort of difficult to answer without an example. I probably do both about evenly. And yes, I think actions speak louder than 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?
It depends on which friend and what we'd be doing. There are too many factors to give a straight answer. I'd say that I'd probably stay in 8 times out of 10 though.
I.
15) How do you act when you're stressed out?
I... don't really know. You'd have to ask someone who has seen me under stress. I know that my mind often goes blank when I'm stressed, though.
16) What makes you dislike the personalities of some people?
Many things. The biggest reason for me to dislike a person is that they are inconsiderate and tend to put their wants before others' needs. People who are loud while others are trying to sleep are the best example I can think of. It also bothers me when people are irrational, and when I can't reason with them. I hate when my well-thought-out points are dismissed without being considered.
Ji.
17) Is there anything you really like talking about with other people?
I really enjoy talking about personality and MBTI (lol). I also like talking about beliefs and philosophies.
Ji. Ne.
18) What kind of things do you pay the least attention to in your life?
Current political events. I don't see the point of paying attention to that sort of thing. Most people are going to be biased in one way or another and, even if I do feel strongly about a certain issue, it's pointless to try to change someone else's opinion.
Don't make it an attempt to change their opinion, simply a friendly joust. Exercise that Ne.
19) How do your friends perceive you? What is wrong about their perception? ? What would your friends never say about your personality ?
For some reason, my friends think that I'm confident and that I don't let insults bother me. This could have to do with the fact that I purposely choose friends who have less self-confidence than I do because everyone else intimidates me. The truth is that I almost constantly fear being confronted or insulted (usually on my appearance), especially by strangers. Another thing some people think is that I'm oversensitive and easily upset. I'm not, though. I just have crippling anxiety. They think that when I need time to myself or when I don't feel like talking, that I'm hurt or mad at them, when in reality I'm just stressed and exhausted.
Ji dom, because implicit inferior Je.
20) You got a whole day to do whatever you like. What kind of activities do you feel like doing?
Go on a forum like this one for a few hours, then invite my significant other over to play some games and maybe go on a drive or to a place that's not crowded.
Definitely introverted. Perceiving.
