BACKGROUND:
1. What is your personality type?
A: I'm still hesitant on what my type is, actually. I'm almost more than certain that I'm an NFP. I've been leaning a bit towards INFP, but still seeing ENFP as an extremely likely possibility.
2. Are you male or female?
A: I'm a female.
3. What country do you live in now? What country are you born in?
A: I'm in The United States but was born in The Philippines.
4. What cultural background are you?
A: I'm a full Filipino.
5. What religion are you? What religion is your family?
A: I'm an Agnostic. However, all of my other family members that I know of are Roman Catholic. (Funnily, the meaning of my name actually extremely contradicts to the situation.)
QUESTIONS:
6. What career are you in or looking to be in? What are you doing right now to help you achieve this career goal?
A: I'm a student but I have an idea of what careers I might want to enter in. The first job I think will be most reasonable for me would be to work as an English teacher for middle-high schoolers. I want to create change within the lives of young people and teach them the potential that they as people have through writing and reading. The other two careers that I'm considering but not as seriously are to become an author or counselor. As an author, I just wouldn't have the motivation to keep me going. As a counselor, I'd probably be terrible at talking to people about their feelings as I wouldn't know what to say. I realize the latter takes just a bit more time, though. And as of right now, I can't really do anything that will directly help me to pursue my goals of becoming a teacher. Maybe just observe what they teach in classes and observing how my peers as well as myself react to certain methods of teaching.
7. What is your friendships like with both genders? How many good friends do you have and why are you friends with these people?
A: It all really depends on the person, I don't believe that gender has too much of a relationship with the friends I make. Or, I guess, maybe it's more of me thinking it shouldn't. I believe that it's more of age than gender, though. I get along with both genders on the internet but when it comes to real life, I get along just somewhat better with boys. From some situations I've been in, a lot of people know me as vulgar, inappropriate, and childish and there are only a few girls I know that kind of disregard that when talking to me, and even fewer that appreciate it. And you know what those traits I'm seen as are usually associated with? Yeah. I don't have a lot of good friends, at least ones that I'm entirely sure I have a mutual understanding of. I don't believe there's any particular reason why we're friends. We're both comfortable enough to be in each-others' company and have mutual interests and that's good enough of a reason.
8. What paranoias do you have?
A: I have a lot. One I'll focus in on is this idea that I'll always be alone in this world and that the relationships I've formed have and will ultimately always be a misinterpretation from my side.
9. What are your vices?
A: More than always having the victim mentality and exaggerating something in order to fit how I feel. Becoming avoidant when I get irrational anxiety and becoming comfortable with isolation. Never finishing up things in the past that I'm ashamed of. Constantly making assumptions about how the future will be based on things I've done in the past.
10. What are your fears?
A: Never amounting up to anything, being seen as the person that people think, "Oh, wow. Thank god I'm not her.".
11. What is your relationship like with your parents? siblings (if you had any)?
A: I get along with my parents on the surface but when it comes to our ideologies, things usually go down. Issues like feelings, I try to avoid as it makes me feel uncomfortable. I have two siblings, one younger and one older. I tend to be just a bit more aggressive and critical of my younger sister, as we've never really gotten along in the past. With my older, we're both alright. We're more alike than not, anyhow.
12. How are you with expressing emotion in public?
A: I never usually am comfortable with ever expressing genuine emotions comfortably. To elaborate on that, I mean in the sense of sharing anything that might gesture to being upset. Whenever I'm excited, I'm all for sharing it and getting others to think the same. But all the negativity, I push away unless it suits the situation (ex. a funeral, a graduation, etc.)
13. How do you think people saw you in high school? How do you think people see you now?
A: Haha, I haven't even entered high-school yet. (Don't worry, don't worry.) I'm in middle school as of right now so I'll compare primary? It's a relatively short time interval, but I kind of need something to compare cognitively. A few years ago, people perceived me as this all-knowing unnecessarily vulgar person. As of right, now kind of still the same. Mentally, I've changed but I still keep up a fun-loving demeanor. When it comes to peers, I'm probably seen as childish, extroverted, and bold. But some other people, with teachers being in my mind, see me as more self-aware than needed, unconfident, sensitive, etc... The characteristics seem to kind of contradict, but would make sense. (I don't think I answered this question too accurately. The people in my life have changed since a few years ago.)
14. What do you see as the point to your life and life in general?
A: Generally, as cliche as it sounds, I believe that life is what you make of it. The point of a life is to exist, simple as that. It only truly has purpose if you make it. Personally, I feel that the purpose to
my life is to help the others around me reach their full potential - to leave some sort of impact in the lives of others.
