[MENTION=32874]Vendrah[/MENTION] [MENTION=34313]RadicalDoubt[/MENTION] just retagging ya for the questionnaire XD Thank you! I also note I get xSFJ typing a lot, and I get Fi-dom often, but some say it appears I use Fe and Fi both well so it is hard to tell. XD
1. During your youth (7'ish to 18), What did you focus on the most? What activities did you like and why? What aspect of life was lax in attention?: I think as a teen I was super obsessed with some sorta interaction. I would play restaurant with my pet fish, make up characters and play all of them. My stuffed animals were a made up town with tons of differing personalities. I got into lotsa trouble online being way too open and trying to help people and got myself into some messy situations as a teen. I had a lot of self-esteem issues because no matter how hard I tried, people found me a bit eccentric and weird and didn't really want to hang out with me. And I was emotionally erratic too so I can't totally blame them. I put a lot of attention into my homework too. I got into roleplays online because I could mix my mini obsession with abnormal psychology with writing. Since I was 12 I've been writing song lyrics too and was obsessed with listening to music and celebrity gossip I prob shouldn't care about. But yeah, that's like a nutshell.
2. You're in you senior year of high school (or whatever equivalent) and you are looking back over the last couple of years. What was your favorite aspect of the schooling experience and why? Favorite subject and why?: I was homeschooled so this is a bad question for me. XD honestly I always like in homeschooling that I could work at my pace. Like my senior year I was really good at consumer math so I worked ahead and finished 3 months early, and that gave me extra time to focus on Spanish that I was...NOT...good at. so I could get it done on time. My favorite subject in high school was prob English. toward the end I got stronger books that had stronger themes and I appreciated them more. I liked the essays. I think I realized I liked being a sort of critiquer of things like that. XD
3. A couple of friends call and invite you out to a restaurant. While there, you all are pleasantly conversing and one of your friends makes a comment that irked you. What are you're thoughts and how do you respond?: Oh this kind of makes me think of a realish situation. In college, I had this friend and she knew about my situation of awkwardly somehow attracting douchebag creep dudes. Anyway she invited me to this movie thing with her friends so I went and it was going well, but then she brings it up and jokes about it to all her friends there and publically humiliates me. I got really quiet the rest of the night and at the end of the movie I went and cried in the bathroom. I got pissed at her and later kinda told her off, and we never reconnected after.
For an actual irk. It depends what it is. I normally "correct" for whatever reason. Like for instance I do not like the word "Retarded" being used to describe stupid people you don't like. My eldest brother who died, his original diagnosis was mental retardation, and he had a heart of gold. So with that I absolutely hate it because it feels like when you call some asshole retarded you are insulting my dead brother. I usually gently tell people this and they don't normally use it again. Understanding is key. If they continue to disrespect my feelings though, I either will stop associating or have a sort of argument with them. I'm not exactly afraid of confrontation if it is needed.
4. Your schooling is done and it's time to strike out into the world!! What sort of career do you want to go into and why?: My problem with careers is I want so many shiny things and I can't pick one. I started my life dreams planning to own a pet store, then I was gonna be a doctor, then I decided I wanted to be a singer, then a writer, then figured I should go to business school, thought wait Psychology major! graphic design sounded fun. Ended up starting as a Social Work major. didn't like it as well as I figured. Switched to business. hated it. Transferred colleges and switched to English. Loved it but it isn't a realistic career, I'd likely choke my students if I had any for not caring. Switched to psychology, couldn't handle the research aspect. It isn't I can't do a research paper, but its more to do anything with the major you need a masters and I am terrible at statistics and we were doing an intro to research class and all the stuff felt German and I was crying thinking ok, I need to accept, my brain doesn't do this. OH I was thinking of being a makeup artist once too. It was art, on your face! I'm not good at cutting hair though. So now I've settled for administrative specialization. It is basic office work but it'll give me a consistent routine job that I can handle. And hopefully maybe one day I can mess with all that other artsy stuff I wanted to do.
5. A friend is getting married and they put you in charge of the cake. You narrowed it down to two places to make an order. The first is a bakery with whom you got a good relationship with. The other is a well-known cake maker to whom everyone goes to (your friend hints to it as well). Which one do you choose and why?: I'd likely go to the one I have a good relationship with. I have good taste and obviously trust them for a reason. Just because everyone else likes or goes to something doesn't mean you need to. Usually I find out these things are overhyped or not even that creative. The cake maker I chose would likely have more interesting designs and flavors than a mainstream designer anyway. I like a pop of unique, not a pop of "everyone else has got it."
6. You get into an argument with a friend/family member/co-worker. They criticize one of your personality traits. What would most likely be the focus of their critique?: My mom has spent years complaining I am a walking contradiction, and that I am the most directioned directionless person she has ever known. She also says I never stick to anything. I have all these things I want to do but end up not doing. She suggests I have a short attention span. My grandpa complains I am unrealistic and need to pick a career not a starving artist dream. My brother thinks I am too critical of other people. Pick 1 and run.
7. It's New Years! You and your friends are out and about after a party. Being drunk, one of your friends suggests to do something....'questionable' (Nothing serious. I.e, drugs, escort, etc.). What are your thoughts and how do you respond?: First off, I would hope I would not partake in that sorta thing anyway. I don't do parties really, I do not drink, and the two friends I do have do not drink or plan to either. XD BUT if I were in this situation, I'd probably say no. I had a college friend invite me to some big rave thing, I said no, kinda wondered if I was missing out, 2 days later campus notified us someone got sexually assaulted and they were looking for a person. Yeaaaaaa this is why I didn't go. But assuming it is highly questionable and I was in this place, I'd say don't be a fucking idiot. XD
8. A new art gallery opens up and your friend wants to go to the grand opening. Both of you analyze all the paintings and sculptures. What about these works warrants the most attention from you? Why?: That's a good question. There was a sorta art gallery once at one of the colleges, it wasn't totally that but it had people from the graphic design programs portfolio. I noticed the colors first I think. I'm very attracted to the way a color feels. I would likely look for something that sets a mood to me. I don't like throwing things in there just for it to be there. I like the aesthetic, the 'feeling" it emits. So whatever called to me. I usually am not interested in sculptures so I'd probably be over in painting.
9. You have been saving up and decide to buy a new car. At the dealership, you peruse the lots. What are the criteria and factors that influence your choice? Which one would initially be your main focus?: Well first hand I don't go to a car lot without a car in mind. Those tricksters want to put you in whatever hunk of junk they need to get off the lot or the most expensive thing you will be paying off for years. I would have researched a car before I went and said what I was interested in. If he couldn't finance it, I'd wait until I had the means to get the thing I wanted. Unless it was urgent, then I may look about and pick the next best thing. I am going to test drive and likely bring someone who knows more than me. I know Commerical Tire does free inspections, so I'd likely take it there to know if it has any issues before I purchase it. I'm not really a huge car person so I'd likely just pick something that has good mileage, the drive feels nice, the radio works, and it gets me there and back. Although my dream car is a yellow VW beetle cuz its cute. But I don't know if that'll ever fly those things do need repairs kinda often... XD can't be worse thant his damn impala I have right now though... x.x I miss the Oldsmobile I had.
10. Yep, you now have a kid (sex of your choosing)! Years pass and they are now 15 years old. You notice their personality traits are the complete opposite of how you were when at their age. Describe how they are. Describe the possible conflicts that would arise between both of you due to differing temperaments.: Well she would likely be more logical than myself. I'm very emotionally driven so she'd likely try to add logic to some emotional situation I had and I'd be like OMG SHUT UP. She may be cold and insensitive, I hate it when people are insensitive. She may do reckless things like get drunk and then drive home or something. God that'd suck. x.x I'd have to put her on a leash. Oh and she would give 0 shits about school or grades...be lazy...Oh my god no. Ok this cannot be my child NOOO.
