Been around here for a while now, felt like I could also listen to the opinions of people on here. Insights about mbti, enneagram, and/or enything else you want are welcome!
1) Context:
a) What is your age range and general location (Country so that cultural values can be taken into account)? Do you have any impairments that may affect the way that you answer this questionnaire? Any religious or political beliefs (or anything else along those lines) that also might have an effect?
I'm a girl, 23, from Southern Europe (I don't really want to disclose the exact country I'm from). I don't know if it counts as an impairment but I'm diagnosed with Bipolar II, currently under medication and on therapy for it and I'm not displaying any major symptom of it. I'm agnostic, but I'd say I'm "spiritual" to some degree (I am interested in the occult, tarot readings, stuff like that). Politically speaking, I would place myself on the left-libertarian quadrant of the political compass. I can very outspoken about civil rights and environmental issues in particular
b) Which types are you currently considering? Why are you considering them and why haven’t you decided on one?
The SP types, isfp and esfp in particular; I've been leaning more towards isfp lately. What confuses me most are the functions (I feel light both my Ni and Te suck and can't really define which one is the inferior function) and extraverted/introverted nature
As for enneagram, I'm quite sure I'm a 4, probably with a 3 wing, sx/so. I'm not 100% sure about wing 3 because I actually relate to the description of both wings. As for tritype, I think 478 or 479
2) What do you deem as your purpose in life?
I'm not sure it can be defined as a purpose, but I want to leave some kind of mark and at the same time enjoy my life. I want to do that by being creative: my art, my creations are what allow me to leave a mark and enjoy myself at the same time
3) Of the seven deadly sins, which one(s) do you relate to the most and the least and why?
Envy: I've always felt envious of other people, as if they all had something else that I didn't. I've been envious of people's appearance, grades, relationships, friendships, you name it. It's been less present lately because I'm not as ashamed of myself as I used to be and now I realize that people's lives aren't all fun and games compared to mine, but still it's there
Pride: I guess it's kind of related to envy, because while on one side I feel inferior to and therefore envious of people, another part of me feels superior... or at least the need to be superior. I can be very competitive because of this need
Wrath: I've had anger issues for all my childhood and teen years. I had got better at managing my anger, but I feel like it has come back lately. I'm finding it harder and harder to manage it and I tend to get into discussions and arguments easily when I feel strongly about something
4) Analyzing your relationships with others, briefly describe:
a) The type of people you are drawn to
People who share my same beliefs and similar views of the world
b) The type of people who are drawn to you
I think most people in general are. I don't really see a pattern
c) The type of people you are repulsed by
People whose beliefs don't align with mine at all, people who are vulgar, rude and mean to others for no reason
5)What are the traits in others that you admire but you cannot emulate yourself? Elaborate.
Leadership skills: I have those if the situation calls for it, but most of the times it just feels like an annoyance to me. I admire people who are willing to take the burden on them
Selflessness: maybe it's because I'm very self-absorbed, but I find it hard to tune in to people's specific needs. I admire people who can cater to others' needs easily and can be truly helpful
Ability in studying: I have a lot of troubles staying focused on theoretical studying also due to my attention problems and I admire (and am envious of) people who can do that easily
6) Describe your relationship with the following:
a) Anger
As I said before, anger issues have been present for most of my life. I get angry quite easily, especially when something contradicts my beliefs or when something I don't agree with is being forced upon me. I can become verbally aggressive
b) Shame
I've been ashamed of myself for most of my life. I've been ashamed of my body, my grades, my interests, my personality, my disorders, my relationships with my parents. Just recently (in the last year) I've started to fight this sense of shame by being more open about what I like or by dressing in a certain way/showing parts of my body I've been ashamed of, being more open about myself and my struggles, and by trying to be unapologetically myself at the best of my ability. It's not always easy, but it's working as I feel much less ashamed about myself compared to the past
c) Fear
I don't have many fears, and in general I don't let fear stop me from doing what I feel is right or good for me. Most of the fear in my life comes from people around me; some, like my mother, can be very anxious and their anxiety can be overbearing, but I try to shake it off as best as I can because I refuse to live in fear
d) Love/passion
I've had a conflicting relationship with this side of me for a long time, due to the fact that I found it hard to embrace my sexuality. When I was finally able to do that, I learned that love and passion are very important in my life. I feel the need to be in a relationship, to love and be loved, and I suffer if I feel I don't have that intensity in my life
e) Conflict
Conflict is a part of life. I dislike unnecessary conflict (for example, it's stupid to argue over stuff life food preferences), but I'm ready to face it when it's necessary. Sometimes conflict is needed even just to get your point across and make people understand your view, and it doesn't necessarily have to end badly: sometimes you need open conflict to understand and be understood better and that can help you form a stronger bond with people
7) What are some of the themes that have played a prominent role in your life (ie. A struggle you’ve been unable to conquer, ect)?
Being satisfied of what I have. No matter how good things are going, I always feel like something is missing and this keeps me from enjoying what I have 100%. I always feel like I want to do more or something else, and I get bored easily. "Are you satisfied?" my Marina perfectly captures my feelings in this matter
8) Answer only one of the following:
a) [College aged and above] What is your area of work/study? Why did you choose this and would you change it? If so, what would be your ideal?
Environmental sciences. I chose this because I love nature and am good at math, so I thought it would be a breeze. I would change it because I realized that loving nature and respecting it and being good at math aren't enough to thrive, when you're just not inclined to study a lot. Thankfully it has a big practical part (another reason why I chose it) and I'm good at that at least
If I had to change it, I would choose something related to art, as that would be my ideal
b)[Under college aged] What do you plan on studying/working as in the future? How did you go about deciding this? If this is not your ideal area of pursuit, what would be?
9) When meeting a new person, what do you tend to focus on?
Their dressing style, the way they walk, the way they form sentences, words/phrases they repeat often, their body language, how well I seem to click with them right away
10) How do you feel about humanity as a whole? What do you feel are some of the biggest problems the human race faces and why?
I have conflicting views of humanity. On one side, I think about all the people who've been kind and helpful to me, and I think that maybe it has a chance; but if I think about all the shit that's going on in the world and how some people can be really cruel and brutal, I feel like we're doomed
One of the biggest problem of humanity is laziness in my opinion. People are constantly making excuses for themselves not to change things and keep their harmful and obnoxious habits. I feel that if more people were to look straight at the truth instead of avoiding it or lying to themselves a lot of things would be different
11) What are some of your hobbies and interests?
Drawing, watching true crime documentaries/videos, tv shows, reading, working out, cooking, baking, hiking
13) How do you usually “hang out†with your friend(s)? When answering, think about what activities you tend to choose, whether you hang out with one person at once or many, whether or not you initiate the interaction.
We usually meet together in groups and walk around in the city or the park, then at one point we sit together and talk and/or just chill. It can be either them inviting me or me asking them to hang out. There are also friends of mine who are not really part of any group and we just hang out one on one. I have some groups of friends I often go hiking with
14) What is more important, actions or words? Why?
Both are. Words have their weight and, for example, you can't expect someone to appreciate you as a person if you're constantly insulting them, even though your actions show you care about them
I feel like your words should match your actions, and also that actions should follow your words
15) Oh dear, you’ve been cursed by a witch! It’s ok though, you get a choice on which curse you will receive. Will you choose….
a) To never be able to experience the sensation of taste
b) To be immortal
c) To lose your memories
d) To be poor for the rest of your life
e) Or to never experience passion
Elaborate on why!
To lose my memories. I wouldn't like that, but it's not nearly as bad as the other ones. I can always create new memories, and also I feel it would be bad for people who know me rather than for me, as I would just not remember. It would kinda be like starting anew
16) What do you hope to avoid being? If it helps, describe a person who embodies what you avoid/you as a villain, ect.
I don't want to become someone I would hate. A bigoted, close-minded person who imposes their view on others-that's the worse I can think of
I also would hate to be a person totally devoid of feelings, passions and joy. I've been there in the past during my depressive phases and I don't ever want to be like that again
Being a common person, tied to a boring and repetitive routine, without any creativity, is another thing I want to avoid
A person who's afraid of everything, to the point they stop living
17) How do you relate to obsession? Do you tend to "merge" with others or your interests? How do you feel about the idea of doing this?
I used to do that a lot in the past, both with people and interests, but I've been working on that to avoid it and now I do that much less. I don't ever want to lose myself and my identity for anyone or anything
18) Organized or messy? Plans and blueprints or impulse and surprises? What are you preferences and tendencies?
I'm quite messy and disorganized. I used to be incredibly so in the past, I was totally unscheduled and this brought me a lot of problems especially with school and uni work. In the last few years I'm starting to be a little bit more organized. I'm still not a planner, but now I find a way to sort of organize my day so that I don't waste a lot of time and can fit more activities in a single day. I still struggle with it a little bit and I think it's boring, but I'm finding it easier as time passes to do it, and it makes me feel kind of efficient, which is nice
19) How do you subjectively view comfort and how do you create comfort in your life and surroundings?
I'm not sure I know how to answer this question. I don't really need much to be comfortable in a place, as long as I have the most necessary things to survive and not be bored and I can personalize it a little bit so that I feel it as "my own", I'll be comfortable enough
a) What is your age range and general location (Country so that cultural values can be taken into account)? Do you have any impairments that may affect the way that you answer this questionnaire? Any religious or political beliefs (or anything else along those lines) that also might have an effect?
I'm a girl, 23, from Southern Europe (I don't really want to disclose the exact country I'm from).
