Personal concepts
1. What is beauty? What is love?
A general definition of beauty can vary:
Psychical beauty - it can be a social construct and effected by what certain society perceives as beautiful. However, some people who don't fit in a certain frame (for example: small nose, full lips, defined hips etc.) can still be considered as beautiful if they everything on them fits in it's place. However, beauty is also individual and even if individual standard of beauty is effected by social norms, each person has it's own taste.
Internal beauty - not so concrete usage of a word "beauty" can refer to a person's personality. This can also be effected by social norms but by far less than physical beauty. Here as well, people have their own preferences individually.
Some societies are also more effected by general standard of beauty than the others (for example, Korea is very effected by general standard which means individuals measure themselves more by the general perception of what is beautiful in their society)
Love - a feeling; a positive feeling in general. Physical attraction can lead to a feeling of love but I wouldn't say it necessarily provokes a feeling of love. And here I am only talking about romantic love. It can also be stretched to a love between friends since psychical aspect of a person can effect how we perceive a person and whether to approach a person.
2. What are your most important values?
I honestly don't have set values....I'm more likely to examine things and change them if necessary. I prefer to update my thoughts and ways of seeing things rather than having a set in stone values. I guess this is also a sort of value. I like to be free of "set in stone" thoughts aka flexibility.
3. Do you have any sort of spiritual/religious beliefs, and why do you hold (or don't) those beliefs in the first place?
I like to take a little bit of every religion/belief and mix it in something of my own. Like taking the best out of everything and putting it into a one new whole.
4. Opinion on war and militaries? What is power to you?
Power is a possibility to me. It makes you able to do something. War and militaries are just reality to me...people like to say their are against a war but many factors effect war and it's sometimes better taken as a possible thing to happen or thing happening. I have no feelings towards it - I just personally think militaries are a way of having a precaution. War is definitely not desirable option but if it can't be helped, then you better fight it for the better.
Interests
5. What have you had long conversations about? What are your interests? Why?
I like to pick up other people's interests because it broadens my views. I can honestly have a long conversation about anything. I love to express my thoughts and hear different points of view.
I like languages because they are a perfect mix of system and humanities. It's a working system with a little trick to it caused by human factor. It's what keeps it interesting and full of surprises.
6. Interested in health/medicine as a conversation topic? Are you focused on your body?
I like to exercise. I used to train swimming for 15 years. I enjoy water a lot - it makes me feel at ease and it sets my mind running free. My family are medical workers and I actually like the topic of health and medicine. I'm not primarily interested in it but if it pops in the conversation it's one of the topics I would have nothing against. I'm sometimes paranoid about my health but I try to avoid those phases.
7. What do you think of daily chores?
I suck at them. haha Honestly, that's all I have to say about it. I like cooking though and I'm good at it.
8. Books or films you liked? Recently read/watched or otherwise. Examples welcome.
I like thrillers, crime, jdrama, kdrama, mainstream fantasy books. As long as it's interesting, I will read it/watch it. Genre doesn't matter.
9. What has made you cry? What has made you smile? Why?
Songs sometimes make me cry. My gran being in a hospital makes me cry. But it's in general hard to make me permanently sad. I often experience feelings and then distract myself from the.
It made me smile when my gran smiled at me in the hospital when she was sick. My friends also make me smile because I'm happy to have someone with who I feel comfortable with.
10. Where do you feel: at one with the environment/a sense of belonging?
I believe I just answered that: with friends. Why? We are all so different but able to except our differences and function together. It's what I appreciate the most. I've never been one to choose people for similarity - I choose them for openness, understanding and tolerance. And differences make things more interesting.
Evaluation & Behaviour
11. What have people seen as your weaknesses? What do you dislike about yourself?
I actually don't dislike myself as much. I have flaws but everyone does and I don't judge others for it either. I somehow believe people are both black and white. No one is just one thing. You fix one flaw and other pops out. It would be boring if a person was only white or black. I don't see virtues and flaws as good and bad, I see it more as fact that exists in people and mixed together and creates their personality. One thing can be a flaw to me but it can be a virtue for someone else. It really depends how you see it. People can hate that I'm loud for example but others find it fun etc.
But if I have to say one thing that I dislike about myself if would be that I would like to put my time in better use. I think I actually lack in organizing my time.
12. What have people seen as your strengths? What do you like about yourself?
Same as above. Different people perceive me differently. One ENTJ friend says that when she thinks of me she thinks of "self-confidence" and others simply think I'm strong. On the other hand, there are ones who don't see those things in me.
13. In what areas of your life would you like help?
Everything can be improved. So any help in any area is always welcome.
14. Ever feel stuck in a rut? If yes, describe the causes and your reaction to it.
I don't ever feel like I'm in a rut. If I do it's because I didn't progress in a while. It's irritating but it keeps me working harder.
People & Interactions
15. What qualities do you most like and dislike in other people? What types do you get along with?
Types I get along with: ESFP, INFJ, INTJ
I don't like people who give up easily. That's pretty much.
16. How do you feel about romance/sex? What qualities do you want in a partner?
It changes every day. I'm usually attracted to my opposite.
17. If you were to raise a child, what would be your main concerns, what measures would you take, and why?
The fact that I'm not ready to give up my time.
18. A friend makes a claim that clashes with your current beliefs. What is your inward and outward reaction?
I compare to my own and see how it's different. No special feelings about it.
19. Describe your relationship to society. How do you see people as a whole? What do you consider a prevalent social problem? Name one.
I already answered this. I like to see people as they are. Social problem...hmmm....what do you want me to answer here? Prostitution? Murder? I mean technically it's all a social problem. Corruption?
20. How do you choose your friends and how do you behave around them?
I have many different people as friends. I behave like myself and I want others to feel the same way.
21. How do you behave around strangers?
Normally...I'll greet them if needed. I'll talk to them. Maybe we can hang out.
