Do you agree with this? That your very worst side, the behaviors that you usually keep under control (your id in Freudian speak?) are the real you.
I'd say yes because it's our natural instincts that we only learn to overcome. For example, if someone deep down, during their absolute worst stress and loss of control, acts like an unhealthy ESFP, they're really ESFP.
In other words, your "stress type" is your true type - even if you hate being that way under enormous stress and would never do so under normal circumstances.
Personally speaking, it's why I type myself as an ESFP - 99% of the time, I act more ESTP/ENTJ. But once in a blue blue moon, I become temporarily emo for no reason. I assume that's my intrinsic desire, even though I can't stand being that way. Usually I don't have much emo to suppress, so it's disturbing when it crops up out of nowhere. But I assume that must be the "real" unearthed me.
