Hello everyone. I am not sure about my type so I decided to fill a questionnaire. Feel free to ask questions 
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.
I’m very calm right now, currently listening to music ( don’t know if this will affect my answers). Male, 16.

I don’t know why, but right when I saw it, it reminded me of the movie ‘Inception’, a scene when there was some kind of a paradox. It really looks like a paradox actually. A never ending loop (Every time I hear or say the word paradox, the documentaries about time come in my mind. I’ve seen lots of them). I didn’t notice they were staircases (only when I read the description), they don’t look like that. I wonder where they lead to. They are also made of some shiny metal (I wonder where the light comes from to make them shine). It looks like there is some hidden pattern in this photo.
2. You are with a group of people in a car, heading to a different town to see your favourite 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?
To be honest, I wouldn’t care too much. I don’t like concerts, too much external stimuli make me stressed. I’ve had a lot of panic attacks because of this, but I learned how to manage them. But I would also be a little angry. I would say to myself :â€I made so many preparations for this concert. My effort and money can’t end up like thisâ€. Still, I would remain calm. I would suggest ways to deal with the problem. If I see I am of no use, I would just shut up XD .
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?
First, I would see if there is anyone else who can drive. If yes, I would let the driver do whatever he wants. If not, I would keep my eyes on him, and wouldn’t let him drink, at least not too much. (We can’t risk to have a car accident)
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?
It would depend on how much I knew him. If not too much, I would say nothing. If I knew him well, I would start a debate. I would give arguments on why he is wrong. Most of my arguments start with “Suppose that…â€. Even if I am wrong, it is very hard for me to back up, but I am rarely wrong. If I am righ, but he still insists that he is right, I would just say “Think whatever you want. You just don’t get itâ€. I know that it is really hard to convince people.
5. What would you do if you actually saw/experienced something that clashes with your previous beliefs, experiences, and habits?
Nothing, actually. I am very introverted and don’t like to interfere with other people’s business, especially if they are strangers. They can do whatever they want, as long as they don’t affect me, but sometimes I feel angry when they affect other people (for bad, normally).
6. What are some of your most important values? How did you come about determining them? How can they change?
My values change from day to day. I spend a lot of time thinking ,refining my values. I determine what is worth believing and what not. Some of them come from my experience (but most of these don’t last for long), some of them come only from thinking (most of them), and some from putting myself to other people’s place (the most universal ones). Some of my values:
Happiness-The reason why everyone lives. Whatever someone says he lives for, it’s because it gives them happiness. Other values are just tools to achieve it.
Truth-The most important thing in the world (after happiness). Knowing the truth means everything in this world full of ignorance. Truth helps you live your life without having to regret for anything. Knowing the universal truths has more benefits (about God for example, who wouldn’t want to know this), but even knowing truths about other people is important. It helps you make the right decisions in life and fair ones.
Information-It’s basically the same thing. Knowing the right moment and time makes life much more easier.
Family-The only persons who truly love you. Would do anything for them, even though it’s difficult for me to express my feelings to them.
Depth-By thinking deep, you understand that there is more to this world than you see. But thinking too much may have both a positive and negative. As some people say: “Ignorance is blissâ€.
Individuality-I hate people who judge others. Why don’t they just leave other people live their life as they want? I never judge people (well, almost never).
Equality-I think this has to do with individuality. I think everyone should be treated equally, but I’m not sure if people are REALLY equal.
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 and my depth. I’m good at almost every subject at school. Also, others say that I am very deep. They don’t understand what I say (they make sense in my mind). Sometimes they get a bit scared from what I say. I am good at writing, especially poems. When people see me at first, they think that I am cold, but I am not.
b) I would like to be more extroverted. My introversion keeps me inside myself. I would like to be more practical, my head is always on the clouds. Also, it is very hard for me to say no to people, I don’t know why. Maybe to avoid conflict, I don’t know.
8. How do you treat hunches or gut feelings? In what situations are they most often triggered?
Most of them happen when I am thinking, I think about something and the solutions comes to my mind. Most of the “truths†that guide my life have come in this way. Also, when I meet strangers, I get a sense of their personality, and I am mostly right.
9. a) What activities energize you most? b) What activities drain you most? Why?
a) I am energized by listening to music, by thinking when I am alone, reading about science, philosophy and of course MBTI. I like being alone in nature and thinking about my life, my place in the world, the universe itself.
b) Being around other people drains me a lot. Noises, especially human noises are very disturbing. Also, emotional expression can be really hard.
10. What do you repress about your outward behavior or internal thought process when around others? Why?
I keep most things on the inside. When someone does a mistake, I would tell them only if I knew that there would be no conflict afterwards. I don’t tell other people my thoughts, because they might think that I am weird. In fact, it all depends on how much I know the other person, but sometimes I don’t show my true self even to them.
