I've always found the mbti tests silly because for most questions, I've not been in those scenarios and can't answer accurately. Similarly, I've never broken down in a car with friends on our way to a concert so I can guess at how I might ask, most likely tell you how I'd like to think I'd act, but I wouldn't know for sure if that's how I'd truly respond. I just found this questionnaire and it's more to do with scenarios I've actually been in so I wanted to give it a go 
1. During your youth (7'ish to 18), What did you focus on the most? What activities did you like and why? What aspect of life was lax in attention?
I think the dominating things here were my sports. I both danced and swam competitively so I was training very intensely and I loved it. I was quite a serious child (I was always told to smile more) and that's probably the thing that held me back- I never just let go and had fun. I liked getting up early for training before school, being on competitive squads or junior associates for ballet companies made me feel good. My driving factor was that I wanted to be the best and I totally dedicated those years of my life to the sports. I didn't have much of a social life outside that. I should add that sport is never something I was pushed to do, everything I did was my choice and when I decided to quit my parents never pushed me to keep going. I've also always loved drawing and painting- I'm not an abstract artist though I like to paint what I see and make it as realistic as possible. I enjoy honing my techniques and critiquing my work in order to improve it but I also got very easily frustrated. When I was really young I was big into reading, I'd read whatever I could get my hands on but as I got older I stopped reading as much. The aspects of life I didn't pay much attention to were popularity and parties and rebelling (popularity in terms of school that is, it's a different story in sports where I liked to be popular through being known for being good). I had no interest in sneaking into clubs before I was 18 or anything like that. I was quite boring!! I was a bit of a goody two shoes when I was a kid, I loved everything to do with school and volunteered to be on the school council, eco council, road safety officer, playground monitor, library helper but once I got to high school that all changed and I just did my own thing.
2. You're in you senior year of high school (or whatever equivalent) and you are looking back over the last couple of years. What was your favorite aspect of the schooling experience and why? Favorite subject and why?
Just how easy life was throughout high school. I never got in trouble, got along with most people, I could just go and do what I liked after school. No responsibilities! I never had a favourite subject. There were lessons I enjoyed because the teachers were easygoing and made the class feel relaxed, there were the subjects I was actually good at where I usually clashed with the teachers and there were those lessons that were just awful!
3. A couple of friends call and invite you out to a restaurant. While there, you all are pleasantly conversing and one of your friends makes a comment that irked you. What are you're thoughts and how do you respond?
It depends- if it's a passing comment I might pull a face but I'd probably ignore the comment. If it's a point the person pushes then I'd confront them.
4. Your schooling is done and it's time to strike out into the world!! What sort of career do you want to go into and why?
I've spent years trying to come up with an answer to this! The honest answer is I have no clue. I don't have any kind of calling or career area that jumps out at me. All I know is not a job that involves people all day every day.
5. A friend is getting married and they put you in charge of the cake. You narrowed it down to two places to make an order. The first is a bakery with whom you got a good relationship with. The other is a well-known cake maker to whom everyone goes to (your friend hints to it as well). Which one do you choose and why?
The well known maker! I'd want the best cake regardless of who it comes from. If the other bakery gets upset then firstly that's not very professional and secondly I could just tell them that my friend requested the other bakery! Does the other bakery even have to know I'm ordering a wedding cake?
6. You get into an argument with a friend/family member/co-worker. They criticize one of your personality traits. What would most likely be the focus of their critique?
How quiet I am. Or how lazy!
7. It's New Years! You and your friends are out and about after a party. Being drunk, one of your friends suggests to do something....'questionable' (Nothing serious. I.e, drugs, escort, etc.). What are your thoughts and how do you respond?
My answer is no and I'd strongly encourage them to go home because they're drunk but if they don't listen...they're in control of their own life, decisions have consequences and if they choose to do the questionable thing and it does go wrong then they need to face up to that.
8. A new art gallery opens up and your friend wants to go to the grand opening. Both of you analyze all the paintings and sculptures. What about these works warrants the most attention from you? Why?
The most realistic, skillful works. Most likely powerful nature pieces like landscapes that make full use of colour without becoming abstract. For example if an artist had painted a dramatic stormy scene I'd like the drama to come from really enhancing the bruised purple shade of the storm clouds whilst keeping the physical details and proportions true to life rather than making the image interpretive.
9. Yep, you now have a kid (sex of your choosing)! Years pass and they are now 15 years old. You notice their personality traits are the complete opposite of how you were when at their age. Describe how they are. Describe the possible conflicts that would arise between both of you due to differing temperaments.
He/she would be rebellious, wild, always out, city loving, party loving, experimental, loud, wouldn't stop to think twice, would loudly voice their opinions not caring who heard or how it made them feel. The problem here is my habit of always seeing the possible outcomes of a situation and them only being interested in having fun. There'd also be a battle of me trying to get them to place themselves in others shoes. I've always been a home body, loving lazy days in the garden or on the couch, solitary walks or walks with close family and being in nature.
