Hello. I have been a lurker for a couple of years and finally joined you all. I have been trying to type myself for a few years, yet haven't set on a type, so I just identified as isfp.
1) What aspect of your personality made you unsure of your type?
Mostly it would boil down to my social anxiety. I really don't get the chance (have courage to follow through is more like it) to see what I like and focus on.
2) What do you yearn for in life? Why?
I just want to have fun. I can't really explain why.
3) Think about a time where you felt like you were at your finest. Tell us what made you feel that way.
I would say when I was playing a team game (field sports). I like to show off. Having people think your impressive was nice. Plus, I liked to let loose.
4) What makes you feel inferior?
Not really having a purpose. Everyone I know seems to know what to do in life, know what career they want, life goals, etc. Me, I always just focused on things one day at a time. As my mother would say, I'm "coasting". I don't really have a problem with it, but when people harp on it, it makes me think.
5) What tends to weigh on your decisions? (Do you think about people, pro-cons, how you feel about it, etc.)
It depends. In general I decide by what I want and what is the most enjoyable. However, I know there are times that what has to be done, has to be done, whether I like it or not.
6) When working on a project what is normally your emphasis? Do you like to have control of the outcome?
I would like to have some influence on the outcome. It really wouldn't make sense to me if I was working on a project, yet my efforts would be all for naught.
7) Describe a time where you had a lot of fun. How is your memory of it?
I can't really pinpoint a single event, but I would say the times I was playing with people, displaying my skills. It felt good to have confidence.
8) When you want to learn something new, what feels more natural for you?
It depends. I have a tendency to observe and do it myself. From learning how a car works to fixing a game console, I like to see how it's done, then do it. YouTube is a good teacher.
9) How organized do you think of yourself as?
Me.. organized?.. please. I am probably the messiest person you would ever meet (aside from hoarders). My room looks like ground zero of a warhead impact. Even during my school days, my locker was a sight to behold. But the funny thing is, I am very good at organizing objects to fit in the environment, like playing a live version of Tetris. Life wise, I don't really plan anything. "We'll cross that bridge when we get to" pretty much sums up my style. I can set up plans, but that's more ad hoc.
10) How do you judge new ideas? You try to understand the principles behind it to see if they make sense or do you look for information that supports it?
I do a bit of both. It has to make sense to me and have at least some evidence behind it. More of the latter probably.
11) You find harmony by making sure everyone is doing fine and belonging to a given group or by making sure that you follow what you believe and being
yourself?
I just do my thing. I'll try to help you if you ask, but I'm not going to go out of my way to do so.
12) Are you the kind that thinks before speaking or do you speak before thinking? Do you prefer one-on-one communication or group discussions?
I really don't know. I'd like to think that I think before speaking, but I put my foot in my mouth far too often. I would say group conversations because I'm a poor conversationalist so awkward silence is inevitable during one-on-one. And I find group discussions more lively. One-on-one is only good if I'm close to you or have a similar hobby to talk about.
13) Do you jump into action right away or do you like to know where are you jumping before leaping? Does action speaks more than words?
I would say now I think before doing. However, when I was younger, I was pure impulse. Actions do speak louder than words.
14) It's Saturday. You're at home, and your favorite show is about to start. Your friends call you for a night out. What will you do?
Well, if the activity would be fun, I would go. I mean, what is not able to be re-watched these days?
15) How do you act when you're stressed out?
Moody, snappy. A bit aggressive.
16) What makes you dislike the personalities of some people?
People who are jerks (well...above and beyond jerks). And people who are super objective all the time and push that on others. Let people do their own thing.
17) Is there anything you really like talking about with other people?
I would only talk about common hobbies (games, cars, etc) with by friends or humor surrounding current events.
18) What kind of things do you pay the least attention to in your life?
My future. I don't know what to do!
19) How do your friends perceive you? What is wrong about their perception? ? What would your friends never say about your personality ?
I don't have any friends due to me not being out and about. But I know people who know me well see me as cocky, talkative, funny. Strangers see me as "soft-spoken? Yeah right.
20) You got a whole day to do whatever you like. What kind of activities do you feel like doing?
Games, Tv, exercise. etc (in that order actually).

I was wondering if you could try to identify my enneagram too, if it's not too much trouble. Thanks!!
