Hi; as you can see, titles aren't exactly my forte... Bear with me in spite of that, alright? I did spend a good ten minutes or so trying to come up with one, lol.
I'll fill out the questionaire if someone would like to see it; I've just taken many, many tests since learning about MBTI(sometimes taking the same tests easily 15+ times. I simply, between that and much research, can't seem to find the confidence to permanently settle on a type for myself, on my own... Enneagram, I know for a fact I'm an eight, probably w7. As far an MBTI, I simply can't seem to pin point as easily, even if my results tend to be fairly consistent. Enneagram was just much easier for me. I almost feel as if maybe with MBTI I'd be a little biased on tests? Or, half the time I'm taking a guess is more like it, as due to my real life I've been through many situations where I had to be adaptable. Either way, I feel I need some acctually living, thinking opinions on it this time.) and would prefer a more personal approach this time. I typically test as an INTJ on most I/E S/N T/F J/P tests, with an occasional ISTJ here an there. In tests based on cognitive funtions, I tend to get INFJ most, followed by ENTP/INTP. Someone once told me I could perhaps be an ISTP; but I don't really think I'd be a "P", from what I've seen, unless I'm way off.
Honestly, I'm not sure how relevant anything I type will be, I'm just trying to come up with anything important; but explaining myself can be fairly hard. I absolutely hate writing personal pieces for grades and such. While I can write up a beautifully organized and structured, 1000+ word personality for a character biography, and sometimes even have fun doing it, I simply hate writing about my own thoughts, opinions, experiences and interpretations of things if it's not because I wanted to, but because I had to. Basically, I appologize in advance if I accidentally write something irrelevant, or not enough useful information.
I have been labeling, a bit inconfidently since I'm not exactly the sappy being most seem to associate with the type(even though my research has lead me to the conclusion this is mostly innacurate stereotyping), as an INFJ with a very strong Ti. Again, just referencing stereotypes here, but I absolutely hate most poetry... It doesn't move me. It bores me quite a bit. And writing it is all the more boring, and stressful at the same time. However, I do love art, and am an artist myself. I'd just rather see an artist of a unique, perhaps underdeveloped skill level, unrealistic style than art so "perfect" you'd think it was a picture. To me, the more stylistic creativity there is, the more someone's feelings, mindset and self can show through. Now, some things that, to this point, I have been labeling myself as an INFJ for; whenever I see someone posting something about their life not going well, or them feeling depressed, etc, I always try and personally reach out to them. I'm honestly not sure sometimes, though, if this is out of true compassion, or my upbringing, or my strong drive to be appreciated by someone...or, it could also be that most of the time, I feel things are out of place when someone's upset or alone when thye don't want to be, and it will annoy me quite a bit until that situation is fixed. I also tend to read people pretty well, and can know them inside out pretty easily. I'm never really surprised by when someone does something. I can't really tell if I read people better than everyone else I know, or I'm alot more honest about who someone is and alot less damagingly, falsely optimistic than alot of the people I know.
On that note, I hate the feeling of not being trusted, but that's msotly due to some personal anxieties of mine I'd rather not get into.
I also do not trust people easily, at all. They need to earn it, no matter my initial judgement on them.
I have my formal mode, which is the mode I will most frequently use in public or when making an aquaintence. Anyone at all. This formal mode is very tactful, and I frequently get asked advice on what seems appropriate in a business context, what to say, etc. and have been asked for such input since I was quite little, in spite of my lack of experience to this day. My "formal" mode is seen by most people I guess, even in purely casual contexts. I also have a "sweet" mode, which I tend to take on with more easily offended, gentle people, and when comforting someone. Then, there's just plain ol' me. Not really sure how to explain me in my purest form, sorry. Lol. Trying not to be formal at all here hopefully to give a decent representation of how I am inside, but this does not seem to be working as well as I wanted it to.
I can end up studying a subject hours on end out of boredom. I'm extremely detail-loving; I don't say detail oriented, because if you ask for me to find the hat right in front of my face... Give me an hour. But if you want me to figure out some complex set of puzzles, find something hidden extremely well, or solve something no one else will, or see/notice something no one else would, sign me up! Plot-twists are very rarely something to catch me off guard. I tend to associate alot with Ni(not focusing on that in this paragraph, by the way. Just throwing it out there), and the descriptions of it, but one thing just feels off. I have an incredible memory, and alot of Ni doms don't seem to have the best memory, from what I can tell.
Alright I kind of need to rush right now, sorry... Once I'm back, I'd love to make this more conversation-style if anyone needs any other information. Thanks!
