Hello everyone. I'm really confused about my personality, especially with my cognitive functions. I did a questionnaire on Personality Cafe and they told me that I am an INFP, but I am not sure. I will post that questionnaire here. Could you please type me? Thank you.
0. Is there anything that may affect the way you answer the questions? For example, a stressful time, mental illness, medications, special life circumstances? Other useful information includes sex, age, and current state of mind.
There is nothing that can affect my answers, but I am only 15 years old. I don’t know if my personality will change after a few years and most people say that at this age the personality is still developing.

This photo is so beautiful. I love the green color, it feels closer to the nature. It looks like the window divides two worlds, the inner world and the outer world. The light and the leaves don’t let you see out of the window. You can’t know what that world hides. According to me, this photo represents the fear of some people to live.
2. You are with a group of people in a car, heading to a different town to see your favorite band/artist/musician. Suddenly, the car breaks down for an unknown reason in the middle of nowhere. What are your initial thoughts? What are your outward reactions?
I would feel a little bit angry at first, but after a few minutes I would calm down. It’s not a big deal going a few minutes late. Maybe I would call someone for help or wait for someone else to solve the problem. The second one is more probable.
3. You somehow make it to the concert. The driver wants to go to the afterparty that was announced (and assure you they won't drink so they can drive back later). How do you feel about this party? What do you do?
I hate parties, but for the sake of the others I would go there. I would also keep my eyes on the driver, I have a hard time trusting people.
4. On the drive back, your friends are talking. A friend makes a claim that clashes with your current beliefs. What is your inward reaction? What do you outwardly say?
Everyone has it’s beliefs, and I respect them for as long as they don’t affect others. If he thinks that way, who am I to change it. I would try to convince them (if I think that what they believe is wrong) by using arguments, but I know that it’s really hard to change people’s minds.
5. What would you do if you actually saw/experienced something that clashes with your previous beliefs, experiences, and habits?
As I said before, everyone has it’s own life, so the can do whatever they want.
6. What are some of your most important values? How did you come about determining them? How can they change?
I think that all people are equal, no one is better than the others. I hate people who think they are better. Also, I hate people who judge others by their looks or behavior , let everyone live their life as they want and just live yours.
7. a) What about your personality most distinguishes you from everyone else? b) If you could change one thing about you personality, what would it be? Why?
a) I would say my intelligence. Most people think that I am a genius, but I think that I am just a smart guy. Another thing is the way I think. When I told someone that I could think in abstract images, he said that I was an alien. I can be very logical in cases where people are not involved, but in situations where people are involved , I use both thinking and feeling, but feeling a little more. I feel very guilty if people are hurt because of my fault.
b) I have always wanted to be more social and to have more friends. The world is a place for extraverts and it feels like I don’t fit in.
8. How do you treat hunches or gut feelings? In what situations are they most often triggered?
I often have them when I interact with people. I get a sense of what people are thinking or what they are feeling, mostly what they are thinking, but I don't know if they are correct or not, so I don't believe them.
9. a) What activities energize you most? b) What activities drain you most? Why?
a) Having a debate about science, philosophy, religion or psychology, or reading about them. I love these topics. But I don’t like a debate with a lot of people, only 4-5 at most. But what I love more is thinking about them while I am alone, especially science (math and physics mostly). I like creating my own “theories†and learning about them. I never get tired of it. Another thing that I like is writing. It’s really hard to express what I think or feel by speaking, so writing makes it a lot easier.
b) What I hate most is interaction with people that I don’t know well. If something like this happens, I just say ‘Hello’ and go away. Sometimes, when it is not possible to go, I just stay there and say nothing, I only speak if the other person asks a question and I have to respond. It’s really embarrassing .
10. What do you repress about your outward behavior or internal thought process when around others? Why?
When someone does a mistake, I don’t correct them because I don’t want him to feel bad about the others. Also, I keep every negative opinion that I have to myself, but I rarely have a bad opinion, because I don’t judge others (only if he really deserves it). As for my outward behavior, I am a calm person, both inside and outside, and I act normally.
