The Socionics Game (What's my type)

[Smilephantomhive]

What do you think my Socionics type is?

Personal concepts
1. What is beauty? What is love?
Beauty: physical or nonphysical? I guess I’ll divide them.
Physical beauty: Wait I actually don’t know. I can’t explain why I like how some things look and why I don’t like others. If it has purple then I’ll probably like it. Idk.
Nonphysical beauty: When something means something to me.
I have a hard time explaining why things are beautiful.
Love: I’m not sure about romantic love, but I define platonic love by not wanting to lose them (either to death or them leaving). I always care about the people I love. Similar interests are not required, but it does help the relationship.

2. What are your most important values?
Idk what you mean by values, so I just listed things that are important to me.
Creativity: I view creativity as a means of solving problems, and that is necessary if the human race is to progress. And without creativity I feel like I would be easily replaced because I wouldn’t have anything unique to offer the world.
Productivity: Also important for progress. Lol we would literally die if we couldn’t be productive. I need to work on being more productive though (even thought I highly value it).
Knowledge: I feel like this is self-explanatory, but people would do stupid things without accurate knowledge.
Kindness: The world would suck if everyone was mean all the time
Independence: I really don’t trust people to control every aspect of my life. I have some ideas (wouldn’t call them plans since they are not fleshed out) with what I want to do in my life, and I hope to achieve them (for lack of a better word).

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’m pretty agnostic when it comes to this stuff. I don’t follow a religion. I think reincarnation is possible, but there is no proof so I can’t be 100% sure. And I can think of arguments for both sides, so I just can’t know. Part of me wonders if my desire for another life is clouding this.

4. Opinion on war and militaries? What is power to you?
I really don’t like war because it kills innocent people who had nothing to do with it. If war only killed people who volunteered themselves then I would be more okay with it. I know that’s not how modern warfare works, it’s all about power and stuff. I’m not sure if I am credible to express my opinion since I don’t know much about war, politics, economics, ect, but I wish there was a nonviolent way to settle international disputes. However I do think it’s important for a nation to be able to defend themselves, so I’m not 100% against it. Though I wish we didn’t need to defend.
Idk what power is. Maybe it’s being able to get what I want??


Interests
5. What have you had long conversations about? What are your interests? Why?
The longest conversation I’ve had was about anime, and the character development in it.
Interests:
Anime: Idk why. The stories are interesting (at least the ones I watch). I got into because my sister told me to watch it, and I found other animes on tumblr.
Typology: I think it’s thought provoking, and it’s interesting how it changed some of my world view. It influenced me to think more conceptually, and pay for attention to patterns.
Writing: I need some way to communicate my ideas.

6. Interested in health/medicine as a conversation topic? Are you focused on your body?
Not really since most people I know don’t know shit about health. I feel like I’m focused on my body. I don’t forget to eat and stuff like other people claim to (okay maybe sometimes, but that is rare). I try to eat healthy foods, and exercise (been slacking on that though).

7. What do you think of daily chores?
I don’t like them, but they need to be done. My sister and I take turns doing the laundry since we share a laundry basket. Currently my parents don’t make me do many chores for some reason. In fact I volunteered to do the laundry since my parents kept losing everything. I feel like I should learn how to cook, but I’m too afraid to ask. I have plans for how I’m going to organize stuff if they ever tell me to do the dishes though.

8. Books or films you liked? Recently read/watched or otherwise. Examples welcome.
Books:
The Monstumologist by Rick Yancy
The Night Circus by Erin Morganstein
The Leviathan trilogy by Scott Westerfield.
Films:
Inception: Very thought provoking and creative.
Zootopia
Tangled
Anime/manga:
Black Butler
Hunter X Hunter
Durarara

9. What has made you cry? What has made you smile? Why?
Stress has made me cry. Sad or even happy moments in movies songs make me cry. I almost cried when my sister me her online boyfriend in real life. I have no idea why.
Someone telling me to take a picture has made me smile. Jk (not really though). I smile when I think something is funny or when I’m excited.

10. Where do you feel: at one with the environment/a sense of belonging?

I have never felt “at one with the environment”.

Evaluation & Behaviour
11. What have people seen as your weaknesses? What do you dislike about yourself?
idk what people think my weakness are. People tell me I worry too much, and am too cautious.
I dislike that that I’m lazy, and I suck at multitasking.
I hate that I’m a slow thinker and it takes me a while to make decisions and do things.

12. What have people seen as your strengths? What do you like about yourself?
My mom has this strange idea that I make a good leader?? My youngest sister thinks I’m good at planning/dealing with emergency situations (I think she mistook preparation as in the moment emergency action since I don’t think I’m good at acting in the moment during a crisis).
I like that I have a good memory. I really don’t think I’m especially good at anything else. I sometimes have good ideas.

13. In what areas of your life would you like help?
I would like help adulting lol (I think most young adults go through this though).
I would like someone to motivate me to do things. I feel like I don’t get much done if left alone.

14. Ever feel stuck in a rut? If yes, describe the causes and your reaction to it.
Yeah. I get stuck in a rut when I worry about everything, and then I get paralyzed and won’t do much of anything.

People & Interactions
15. What qualities do you most like and dislike in other people? What types do you get along with?
Like:
When people are funny
When we share interests and are able to have interesting conversations
I know I must like more things, but I can’t think of anything else off the top of my head.

Dislike:
When people can’t stick to a decision
When people don’t look at the root of the problem (or they think correlation always equals causation)
When people don’t specify what they want and get mad at me for not guessing correctly

15. What qualities do you most like and dislike in other people? What types do you get along with?
By types to do mean you mbti/enneagram/socionics? Well that’s the only way I know how to type people so that’s what you get.
Literally everyone I know who has taken the test scored INFP, so I definitely don’t hate them. I feel like I can get along fine with anyone in a school setting, but living with people can make us butt heads. When I was little I hardly got a long with my youngest sister (she got INFP on the test, but she is only 14, so I think she could be any F type).

16. How do you feel about romance/sex? What qualities do you want in a partner?
I have never had a romantic or sexual relationship, and I currently don’t want one. But I feel like I would take it very seriously if I were in one though.

17. If you were to raise a child, what would be your main concerns, what measures would you take, and why?
My main concern would be them not dying. I should not be a parent because I would worry about them 24/7, and probably die of heart attack before their 10th birthday. I don’t know how I would deal with this, and don’t really want to know.
Education would be the next biggest concern. Well actually learning in general. I would want to make them have a natural love of learning, but I wouldn’t like give them reading flashcards or anything (unless that’s what parents are doing nowadays).
I have no clue how I would go about disciplining them. That sounds like one of the more difficult parts of parenting.
Idk, I’m barley an adult, so this will probably change (if I ever want kids that is).

18. A friend makes a claim that clashes with your current beliefs. What is your inward and outward reaction?
Outowrd: I would probably not say anything unless I was 99% sure my view was correct or if I was extremely comfortable with them.
Inward: I would maybe think of why they were wrong, and see if I should change my views. If their point still didn’t convince me then I would wonder how they got to their point.

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’m not sure what my relationship is to society. I don’t feel like I fit in perfectly, but I don’t feel alienated either. Right now I’m just trying to find my place in the world.
I like humanity as a whole and hope they do well.
I think oppression of marginalized groups is one of the biggest social problems.

20. How do you choose your friends and how do you behave around them?
I don’t really choose my friends. They just talk to me and I talk to them. For me friendship revolves around interesting conversation.

21. How do you behave around strangers?
I usually don’t say anything especially when I’m at school or with family, but there are times where I will be quite talkative. That is rare and the stranger usually the one who initiates the conversation.

EDIT: I tagged people who I think know some stuff about socionics. You don't have to comment if you don't want to.

[MENTION=25892]Smilephantomhive[/MENTION] Do you have an inward emotional reaction to these types of situations?

I found these questions to be irrelevant except this one. I can try to find you better questions at a later point in time.

For now: On a scale of 1-10 how serious would you say you are?

Well that sucks that the questionnaire thing isn't relevant.

But yeah I think I would be angry, but that would depend on what they said. Like I would be angry if it was something I never heard from them before, but if it was expected then I would just be annoyed.

I don't think I'm good at scales, but I would guess around 7 maybe lower if I'm in the right mood.

 

[Typh0n]

[MENTION=25892]Smilephantomhive[/MENTION]

I read your answers, but I find the questionnaire mostly irrelevant as well, so its hard to tell at this point what type you are.

I like this one a bit better ;40 Items long Philosophical Questionnaire

This one is also good, and was what helped people help me find my type, but its really long and takes a while. http://personalitycafe.com/whats-my-socionics-type/303114-80-items-long-questionnaire.html

This one is also good, and was what helped people help me find my type, but its really long and takes a while. 80 items long questionnaire

Okay I'm going to take the first one because it's shorter and I feel like knowing which function they're trying to evaluate will make me biased.

 

[Smilephantomhive]

Answered the 40 question one. Just tell me if you want anything elaborated and I'll try to do that tomorrow, but I'm done with philosophy for now.

1. Is it worse to fail at something or never attempt it in the first place?
Idk, it depends. If you never attempt it then you will never know how you would be wondering about it for like the rest of your life, and if you never try anything because you fear failure then you will get stuck in a rut. On the other hand if you put all your effort into something only to fail then you would probably have wasted a lot of time when you could have been doing something else. I think it comes down to knowing when to give up on your dreams, and using your failures to help you in other areas of your life.

2. If you could choose just one thing to change about the world, what would it be?
Part of me wants to make this about how if you change one thing then something worse will happen, or you might not have been born. So let’s just assume that this “change” will start tomorrow. And I don’t know, there are so many things that need changing.

3. To what extent do you shape your own destiny, and how much is down to fate?
I don’t believe in fate, but a lot of things are not in our control. I really don’t know exactly what we control. We don’t control our genes, and those can affect our lives a lot. Decisions are the most control we have in our lives, but even other people and circumstances can control those. So a lot of it is down to “fate”, but people who believe in fate are more controlled by it than people who don’t believe in it (I think anyway). I could go on, but I think we can at least control some of our environment and that helps us control our thoughts and decision making more. We will never be fully in control though.

4. What happens after we die?
I think reincarnation is possible, but there is no proof so I can’t be 100% sure. And I can think of arguments for both sides, so I just can’t know. I will say that if there is an afterlife then it would have to be reincarnation (at least given the information we currently have about our brains and stuff) because we need our brains to think and process the world, and I don’t think our “souls” can give us that. But I don’t think anyone really knows what happens after death.




5. Should people care more about doing the right thing, or doing things right?

Not sure. I think people should care about making the world a better place, and either one of these can help someone achieve that. They both change in cultural standpoint. Example:

6. What one piece of advice would you offer to a newborn infant?
I don’t think offering any advice would help since they wouldn’t be able to understand what I am saying. I don’t even know what I would say even if they could understand me. They hardly have any experience, and wouldn’t know what to do with my advice, and probably wouldn’t think it’s important because they don’t have the experience to understand that advice can be helpful. I guess I would tell them the usual don’t trust strangers shit because I wouldn’t want to leave them alone only to find that someone has kidnapped them or something.

But If I were to tell a young teen/tween any advice I would tell them to keep worrying to a minimum, and just try the thing they are worrying about out (of course while keeping the consequences in mind so they don’t do something completely stupid).

7. Where is the line between insanity and creativity?

Insanity would be mistaking imagination for reality, and creativity is more manipulating reality to maybe fit the imagination (it won’t fit perfectly, so the person would need to be adaptable or else they might plunge into insanity).

8. What is true happiness?

Happiness is just an emotion. I don’t think other people get to tell you how real your happiness is. That seems manipulative to me. The point of happiness is to not hate life.

9. What things hold you back from doing the things that you really want to?

A lot of things.
Fear.
Obligation: Like sometimes I just want to work on the story I’m writing, but I know I need to do my homework since that will affect my grades and stuff.

10. What makes you, you?
My body/brain, experiences, personality, consciousness, pretty much everything about me. I know this is probably not a unique answer, but this is what I truly think.

11. What is the truth?
Why is this so vague? *insert paragraph about how everyone has a different perspective*

I feel like I should have choose the other questionnaire, but it’s too late now lol.

12. If lying is wrong, are white lies okay?
If we assume that all forms of lying are wrong then that would also make white lies wrong. But I don’t think all forms of lying are wrong which is kind of hypocritical since I hate when people lie to me, but oh well. Judging whether a lie is okay or not is situational and subjective. For me it is usually okay if it helps someone, but then you need to make sure that it doesn’t hurt someone more than it has helped someone. But none is going to care if I lied to them about a grade on my 10th grade math quiz, because it really doesn’t affect them. But telling too many white lies could get you trouble because it could lead you to tell bigger lies or you could mix up the details, your friends find out and then they won’t trust you anymore.




13. How do you know your perceptions are real?

I’m technically not 100% sure, and I usually assume they are because worrying about whether or not they are true would make me go crazy. But if I ever doubt a perception I could ask someone else, and they could verify it then I would at least know that it is “normal” to humans. But just because other people share the same perception doesn’t make it true. Setting up experiments to verify scientific facts can help, and I think that’s the best we can do. Sometimes I wonder if the truth even matters since perceptions simply help us navigate life. Lol you could say that it is a perception that all perceptions need to be true (what am I even saying?)


14. What makes a good friend?

Someone you enjoy being around and someone that you trust. That’s all there is to it at least for me. I think the reason why my “qualifications” are so simple is because I don’t have a deep connection with my friends. We just hang out and help each other when needed.



15. Why do people fear losing things that they do not even have yet?

This is a good question.



16. Who decides what morality is?

Everyone. I guess lawmakers have the greatest control when it comes with morality since laws seem to be based off morality (like you go to jail if you kill or steal. Gay marriage used to be illegal).

17. What is the difference between living and being alive?

Being alive is biological, and living can be enjoying life, feeling like you have a purpose, stuff like that.

18. Is a “wrong” act okay if nobody ever knows about it?

I have no clue what this question is talking about. Like is this asking is it wrong to act okay when you’re not? If that’s the case then I don’t think it’s “wrong”. Sometimes it can be beneficial to work on your problems without having others worrying about you. I think it’s wrong when you are in danger though. Like if you want to commit suicide then you need to tell someone. And someone might legitimately think they are okay when they are not and vice versa, so that complicates things. That is why I try judge people when they don’t tell me things I knew I could have helped them with.


19. Is there a reason to life?
I don’t think God gave us a purpose, so we need to make our own.

20. How do you know that your experience of consciousness is the same as other people’s experience of consciousness?

Seems an awful lot like question #13. Well I assume that we must have some similarities being the same species, but other than that I can’t know. I remember when I was a kid I knew that everyone had different favorite colors, and I thought that they all favorite color as purple. Like if someone favorite color was yellow they would see the color the same way I saw the color purple.


21. What is true strength?

I don’t really think true strength exists. The only objective way to measure strength is the measure it physically, but there are even different kinds of physically strengths (lifting, speed, endurance, ect.). You can’t measure mental strength, so therefore there is no “true” mental strength.


22. What is true love?

I don’t think there’s true anything! Life is a lie!


23. Is a family still relevant in the modern world?

Yes, kids still need someone to raise them. I mean you could send every child to a boarding school until their ready to live on their own, but I don’t think every kid would receive the attention they need. Also nursing homes for the old tend to be depressing, but family visiting/caring for them makes old age more bearable.

24. What role does honor play in today’s society?

Well it has a lot to do with integrity. If more people want to do “the right thing” then they are more likely to follow the rules and stuff like that.


25. If money cannot buy happiness, can you ever be truly happy with no money?
Yes. Money itself can’t buy happiness, but some things you need cost money (clothes, shelter, food, healthcare, ect). If you are able to access those things with or without money then you can be happy, but those are also not the only things that make people happy.
26. How should people live their lives?

I don’t think I can just tell people how to live their lives, but they should try to do what makes them happy while also doing something good for the world.


27. How much control do you have over your life?

I don’t feel like I have much, but for the most part I can control my attitude and decisions. I feel like I would have more control if I didn’t care about what people thought of me. And if I didn’t need anything.

28. What is freedom?

Not being controlled and being able to do what we want. None has total freedom because everyone is controlled by something. But a more practical definition would be when someone does not have any obligations (like job, school family matters, ect), and are free to do what they want.
29. Isn’t one person’s terrorist another person’s freedom fighter?

Sometimes.
30. Does nature shape our personalities more than nurture?

Idk, I feel like they both contribute to it, but nurture does it more. Hmm,

31. What defines you?

My experiences, achievements, failures, and personality


32. What do people strive for after enlightenment?

After someone has “made their life whole” then you focus your energy outward, and help others. Idk I’m not 100% sure about what you mean by enlightenment, but for me enlightenment is like finding yourself whether it be intellectually/spiritually, ect. And after enlightenment you become less selfish? Or maybe that is just me because I naturally focus on myself. Maybe someone who is naturally more outward will do the opposite?

33. Do we have a soul?

I cannot know for sure whether we have a soul, but it depends how you define soul. Like some people view the souls as one’s humanity even though they don’t see it as spiritual. I can’t say if the spiritual soul is real or not, but I sometimes like to define the soul as ourselves. So in that sense I think we do have one.

34. What is intelligence?

The only way I am comfortable defining it is with the dictionary definition which is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skill. I sincerely do think there are more than one type of intelligence. I think people have different ways of taking in information. There are also different types of information people are better at understanding. Lol I wonder if that’s what mbti/socionics is all about? I guess people are seen as more intelligent when they’re either really good at understanding a specific thing or they seemingly understand everything.


35. Do you make your own decisions, or let others make them for you?

Both. It does take a lot of time for me to come to a decision, especially when I am not confidant in the subject area or with people I’m not comfortable with. If I am confident in the subject are then I will definitely want to be the one making the decision, but I am okay with them giving me insights I don’t have if I trust them to be accurate.
36. What is reality?

Who knows?



37. Is trust more important than love?

Yes because I think you don’t have a stable relationship without trust. Lack of trusts destroys relationships, and I’ve seen couples that are eaten away by paranoia. Love can exist without trust, but you can’t have a healthy relationship without it. This is also the same with platonic love.

38. Is it easier to love or be loved?

Idk I think it is easier to be loved. I mean being loved in itself isn’t hard, but there are some situations here it can be difficult. The only example I can think of is when you want to do something dangerous, but you know you getting hurt/dying will hurt them. So being loved can be difficult, but that difficulties are not caused by being loved. Idk now I’m beginning to think that my example is better for the difficulties if loving instead of being loved…

39. Is it better to love and lose or never to love?

That depends on what and how much you lose, and what type of love we’re talking about. Like I would rather not have any type of romantic relationship than to have one and be abused. But I would be okay with “losing” more for friendship since I can’t imagine not having any friends at all.

40. Do aliens exist?

Most likely even if there are microorganisms. I’m placing my bets on Venus.

Where’s my philosophy degree?

I bet you can tell which ones I answered first and which ones I answer last.

 

[Smilephantomhive]

[MENTION=14015]Urarienev[/MENTION] and [MENTION=17729]Typh0n[/MENTION] It's been about a week since I posted the new questionnaire, and I was wondering if you were going to get to it or not. No rush though. I know you are probably busy. I just wanted to remind you.

 

[Typh0n]

[MENTION=25892]Smilephantomhive[/MENTION]

Ok, I've read it now. I've been a bit busy, yeah.

Here are my thoughts for now;

You seem like you have a thought process dynamic > static.

With questions that require you to use Se, your responses seem unimpressive and you seem lost on how to answer "Idk what power is"(first questionnaire). Its either you are lost (weak Se) or aeren't interested (unvalued Se), or both (superego Se). I doubt you are Ne ego (and superego Se as a result) though since you act like question 13 is odd to you (about reality and perception) and its a very Ne ego question, though your use of Ne seems good, actually, it doesn't seem valued.

I don't sense the "harshness" of Te-ego in your answers.

The question regarding fate (question 3) you answer with alot of detail, and seem to like to explain your PoV on this subject, and that seems Ni-creative. But I will hold out judgement on you being Ni creative without having more evidence that points to it.

So strong but unvalued Ne, leaning Fe so I'm leaning towards beta NF. Maybe alpha SF.

But I'm really not sure at this point. My mind could change.

Also, just so you know, question 18 is about whether a wrong act is still wrong is its done in secret...like you steal, but noone ever finds out, is it still wrong? Or is it other people's opinion and judgement that make it wrong, thus making stealing not wrong if its done in secret? Thats what the question is asking.

Anyways, I hope it helps. Btw, do you have some idea what your type could be or do you lean towards something? Why or why not? We might be able to get closer based on what you already have.

Thanks for answering. I tend to get ILI on the tests. Then I thought SLI since I can be laid back, paid attention to my body, and stuff like that. It also stated how they can adjust themselves to the environment and I feel like I do that. But then I started to feel like that I maybe only had a superficial understanding of the socionics functions.

 

[Smilephantomhive]

After looking at the EIE and IEI function descriptions, I realize that I don't relate to them at all. Well maybe to bits and pieces of it, but i really have to stretch it. I know type descriptions aren't the best, but I specifically looked at the function ones and it's all I have to go off.
[MENTION=17729]Typh0n[/MENTION] thanks for doing this anyway. I know things like this take a lot of work.

Alright, well I could be completely wrong . I'm perfectly willing to admit that, lol.

Not sure what I can do anymore, yeah, it can take a long time to figure this stuff out.

Best of luck in finding your type, don't hesitate to ask to give me a holler if you have questions.

Edit ; out of curiosity, what do you not agree with in the descriptions? And would you say you are the opposite of the traits described, or just that they don't fit?

 

[Smilephantomhive]

Edit ; out of curiosity, what do you not agree with in the descriptions? And would you say you are the opposite of the traits described, or just that they don't fit?

It's mostly the Fe. I don't feel like I naturally understand the emotion atmosphere.

IEIs naturally conceptualize the people around them in terms of the emotional energy that they give off. I’m not 100% sure what this means, but I don’t think I do this. At least not naturally.
The Ni doesn’t scream no but it doesn’t scream yes either.

The EIE is more likely to measure the comfortableness of conversation than other more physiological signs. I’m the opposite.
The IEI may also be wary of basing their beliefs or actions on facts from outside sources. No!
The IEI are often unconcerned with optimizing productivity or efficiency. They may generally try to avoid evaluating cost-effectiveness of resources. I do focus on being productive, and I don’t do things (or I do the bare minimum work if I have to) that aren’t going to benefit me in life. So yeah I evaluate the cost-effeteness of things.

Srry for my superficial understand of socionics. I still need to try and figure out which things are important. I assume that the first 2 functions and the suggestion and PoLR function are the most important to look at, but I could be wrong.

The valued functions are the most important to look at. Dominant, Creative, Suggestive, and Mobilizing. The Role and Polr functions are somewhat relevant, but only if you've examined the valued functions. The Ignoring and Demonstrative aren't worth looking at, as you completely ignore and are uninterested and unaffetced by them.

I define platonic love by not wanting to lose them (either to death or them leaving)

Sorry, I had to stop reading here.

Think about what you're actually saying with this.

Yes I thought as much.

Ok, the way you phrased it... whenever the word "not" is used in a sentence, alarm bells go off for me (actually, it's the same whenever the word "I" is used in a sentence).

In this case, you're saying love is not wanting to lose something. However, not wanting to lose something is a description of fear. You are projecting fear onto the object of love in the event that it loses its proximity to you.

Love is acceptance. Love is given freely, and love allows that which is loved to be free.

I do understand where you are coming from in saying what you are saying, HOWEVER:

Just because something makes you happy, that does not mean you will not be happy when it is gone.

Just because you make something else happy, does not mean it will not be happy when you are gone.

You're being a bit nit picky. The questionnaire was not about about finding the right answer to these questions, but for trying to uncover how the person thinks.
