1) What aspect of your personality made you unsure of your type?
I've always considered myself to have a reactive enneagram type. Now I'm considering enneagram 4 or 6 as my core type. I repress my feelings, but inwardly I am a turbulent individual. I put on a tough guy act but I experience a turbulence inside me. I identify with the security seeking 6 and the identity seeking 4, not typical of ExTJ types in general.
2) What do you yearn for in life? Why?
I want a happy secure family life, maybe because of the lack of it growing up. It's my greatest goal in life. I will go through whatever lengths to achieve this goal. I also value perfection in whatever it is that I'm doing. I'm willing, for the most part, to do any kind of work, that doesn't matter to me. There's also a side to me that I quite don't understand myself. Despite the fact that I don't particularly enjoy social activities, I do love people and I want to be able to understand others and learn more about myself along the way.
3) Think about a time where you felt like you were at your finest. Tell us what made you feel that way.
I can't really think of a time I felt that way to be honest. I live life day to day. I feel the best when I've completed a task or achieved a goal. Scoring well on a test is something that always makes me feel good.
4) What makes you feel inferior?
Anxiety, self doubt. The fact that I don't trust myself at times. I also often feel like I'm at the mercy of my emotions and I am a volatile individual. I suck at handling stress and I'm prone to depression. I can also sit around and brood for no reasons. I also don't handle failure too well.
5) What tends to weigh on your decisions? (Do you think about people, pro-cons, how you feel about it, etc.)
For the most part, I adapt myself to what life throws at me and a lot of my decisions are gut decisions. I am also impulsive.
6) When working on a project what is normally your emphasis? Do you like to have control of the outcome?
I focus mostly on the results. I like having some control on the outcome. Having no control would make me anxious.
7) Describe a time where you had a lot of fun. How is your memory of it?
I can't really pick one time I had fun. Mostly fun times are the ones I enjoy with those closest to me. Anything can be fun if I am with the right people. I feel most comfortable around my family and also around my fiance.
8) When you want to learn something new, what feels more natural for you?
I like to learn by doing. I like to get myself a book or a guide or find videos and copy the methods described in them. I'm not a very creative person but I am a fast learner.
9) How organized do you think of yourself as?
Incredibly. I keep a very tidy living space and I have three different journals for keeping track of things
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 try to learn as much information I can. Then I try to see where the information fits and if it doesn't, something is wrong with the idea.
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?
A combination of both. They're both equally important to me.
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 tend to do both. I just speak as it comes naturally to me. I have no particular preference regarding group or one on one communication.
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?
Action over words always. I'm always ready to take the plunge.
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?
I go out with friends.
15) How do you act when you're stressed out?
Stress turns me into a crazy person. I brood and become depressed and anxious. I start questioning everything. I might eventually start wondering why I'm doing what I'm doing, and then become unable to find an answer. I am on medication right now.
16) What makes you dislike the personalities of some people?
Hypocrisy, people lying, being irresponsible, acting like idiots, trying to be cool when they're not.
17) Is there anything you really like talking about with other people?
I like discussing literature and any TV shows I've seen. I take pleasure in dissecting them and try to find hidden meaning in them.
18) What kind of things do you pay the least attention to in your life?
Other people's opinions, trying to fit in with society, peer pressure
19) How do your friends perceive you? What is wrong about their perception? ? What would your friends never say about your personality ?
I can't answer this as I honestly don't know how other people see me.
20) You got a whole day to do whatever you like. What kind of activities do you feel like doing?
Reading, watching a good TV show, maybe going for a walk, talking to my fiance, go shopping, go out to dinner, ring up some friends and go for a movie, things like that.
