Here's two questionnaires from Personality Cafe. You answer them, and I'll try to explain them.

Here's the first questionnaire.

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.

1. Click on this link: Flickr: Explore! Look at the random photo for about 30 seconds. Copy and paste it here, and write about your impression of it.

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?

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?

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?

5. What would you do if you actually saw/experienced something that clashes with your previous beliefs, experiences, and habits?

6. What are some of your most important values? How did you come about determining them? How can they change?

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?

8. How do you treat hunches or gut feelings? In what situations are they most often triggered?

9. a) What activities energize you most? b) What activities drain you most? Why?

Here's the second questionnaire.

1. 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.

2. Study these two images here and here. Which one do you prefer and why? How would you describe it?

3. Please describe yourself as a person if you were to introduce yourself to someone else like in a cover letter. What kind of person are you and why?

4. What kind of person would you LIKE to be? Why? What kind of person would you NOT want to be? Why?

5. Do you think there are any differences to how you described yourself and how people actually perceive you? How do you think others would describe you? If there are any discrepancies between these two that are you are aware of; do you know why exactly that is?

6. What in life do you find to be of importance? Why? If you are unsure you can always take the Value Test and post the results here. Do note that it helps if you narrow it down to 20 or ideally 10 values as suggested at stage 2.

7. How do you react to new situations in your life? Can you describe an event in your life where you were in an unknown situation? How did you deal with it?

8. Please describe yourself when you are in a stressful situation. How do you act and why? Real life experiences are welcome.

9. Please describe yourself when you are in an enjoyable situation. How do you act and why? Real life experiences are welcome.

10. Describe your relationship to socialization. How do you perceive one-on-one interaction? How do you perceive group interaction?

11. Describe your relationship to society. What are the elements of it you hold important or unimportant (e.g. social norms, values, customs, traditions)? How do you see people as a whole?

12. Describe your relationship to authority. How do you perceive authority? What does it mean to you, and how do you deal with it?

13. Describe your relationship to order and chaos. What do order and chaos mean to you? How do they manifest in your daily life?

14. What is it that you fear in life? Why? How does this fear manifest to you both in how you think and how you act?

15. What is it that you desire in life? What do you strive to achieve? Why? Where do you think these drives and desires stem from or are inspired by?

16. a) What activities energize you most? b) What activities drain you most? Why?

17. Why do you want to know your type? What type do you think you are? Why this/these type(s)? Is there a type that appeals to you, to your self-perception, that you would like to be? Why? If you know your enneagram, please post this here. If you have done any online function tests such as the Keys2Cognition, it helps if you post these results here as well.

18. Finally, is there something else you find to be of importance you want to add about yourself you think might be of relevance when helping to type you?

Here's a third questionnaire.

SCENARIO 1 - FOCUS ON YOUR FEELING PROCESS HERE
Your significant other just ended your 2 year relationship quite suddenly and with no apparent explanation. Up until this point you had both been talking about marriage and last week you even went to look at rings together. Now he/she won't even return your phone calls or texts. After talking with his/her family you find out that he/she has just been diagnosed with terminal stage 4 cancer.
- Describe how this scenario would make you feel as well as what sort of influences and motivations lie behind those feelings. Why do you feel the way you do?
- In this scenario what would you honestly say the primary focus of your feelings would be?

SCENARIO 2 - FOCUS ON YOUR FEELING PROCESS HERE
You are in college and this semester both you and your roommate end up in the same class together. You and your roommate get along fairly well and the living situation works but you aren't particularly close. You both typically do your own thing and are rather indifferent to each other. As the semester progresses you excel and become one of the top students in the class whereas your roommate is struggling significantly to grasp the material. The professor assigns a fairly challenging take home test that is a significant portion of your grade. He/she makes it clear that while it is open book, students are to work alone. Later your roommate comes to you begging for help after struggling with the test most of the weekend. You have already completed the assignment and he/she isn't asking to copy your answers, just to help tutor and mentor them as they struggle to complete the test, so there is no way your professor would ever know. However, this is the first time your room-mate has asked you for help this semester. He/she makes it clear that how they do on this test could mean the difference between passing and failing this class.
- How do you respond to your roommate’s request and why?
- What sort of things in this scenario stand out to you as far as having a strong influence on your decision making and why?
- Describe the flow of your decision making process.

SCENARIO 3 - FOCUS ON YOUR LOGIC AND THINKING PROCESS HERE
Your boss calls you into his/her office in order to assign you to a new project. He/she gives you a choice between two.
Project 1 is a rather broad, expansive project covering multiple areas of company operations. It has the potential to have a very significant impact on company operations but it would require a collective effort and an extensive amount of group work where you would be logically thinking through the project together with the group of individuals your boss has also assigned to it.
Project 2 has a much more specific and narrow focus and would require a significant amount of in depth individual analysis to work through the problem. You would be working alone and the completion of the project may or may not have much impact on company operations. However, after complete the process and problem you were working on will be streamlined and fundamentally understood.- Which project appeals to you the most, as it relates to the way you prefer to logically process information? Why?
- What sort of things in this scenario, across either project, stood out to you as having a strong influence on your decision? Why?

SCENARIO 4 - FOCUS ON YOUR LOGIC AND THINKING PROCESS HERE
Your college professor has assigned you to a group project with 3 other individuals. All 3 of these individuals have a good strong work ethic and desire to contribute to the overall success of this project. You are at the first meeting of your group and the other members are tossing around valuable ideas as to the nature and direction of this project.
- Describe your behavior in this situation as you process and think about the ideas they are presenting.
- Describe what major influences drive this behavior.

SCENARIO 5 - FOCUS ON THE SOURCES YOU DRAW NON-PHYSICAL ENERGY FROM HERE
It has been a very long week and you feel mentally and emotionally drained, but good news! It is Saturday and you have nothing significant that needs to be done. You FINALLY have some free time to yourself to recharge your batteries and do whatever you want.
- Describe what sort of activities would help you to recharge. What would you enjoy doing after a long week and why?
- What sort of things do you feel you draw non-physical energy from doing?

SCENARIO 6 - FOCUS ON THINKING VS FEELING HERE
You have a meeting with your college career counselor to discuss potential careers that interest you. He/she offers you a list of the following careers and asks you to pick your TOP 3. He/she asks you to take money out of the equation. Imagine all of these careers received equal compensation. Focus instead on where you would truly feel most happy and fulfilled.
Artist, Scientist, Actor, Engineer, Musician, Lawyer, Counselor, Entrepreneur, Teacher, Manager, Psychologist, Computer Programmer / Analyst, Clergy, Child Care, Medical Doctor
- What were your top 3 choices and what aspects of these careers appeal to you?
- Was it difficult or easy to pick only 3 and why?
- Prioritize the aspects of your career choices that influenced your decision, what things mattered most to you, where do you imagine finding the most fulfillment and why?

SCENARIO 7 - Click on the image below and pay close attention to the things that jump out to you, objects, thoughts, feelings, impressions, ideas etc. What do you see?

- Describe the main things that stand out to you in this picture.
- Why do you think/feel you focused on those things?
- Describe the strength with which this photo did or did not appeal to you and why?

The reason I chose these questionnaires is because they were useful in typing me.
The reason I chose to contain them in spoilers is to avoid getting lost in an overwhelming amount of words.

 

[Agent Washington]

Here's two questionnaires from Personality Cafe. You answer them, and I'll try to explain them.

Thank you here's a toast at you
First questionnaire:

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.
Not right now, though I also think it prob won't be a good iddea to divulge the last few because ... like... hmm... minimise bias I guess

1. Click on this link: Flickr: Explore! Look at the random photo for about 30 seconds. Copy and paste it here, and write about your impression of it.
Wood? Grungy. Possible trich-phobia thingy (that phobia with small holes, gross). Kinda post-apocalyptic, imo, coz it's so ad hoc



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?
Inward: "How much time we got till it starts?"
Outward: It's either "Ok chill we still have plenty of time to figure this out. Does any1 have a working mobile connection, how are we going to solve this (i.e. get our asses to the concert if possible)" or "...We're late now, what do we do and how do we get out of here."

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?
"Ayy drinky drinky time". Party after a concert basically is like party after a party, it's good. I get shloshed, probably, and end up vomitting on my shoes.

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?
This will depend on how drunk I am. If I'm drunk I'm basically happy and don't care.
If I'm not drunk I'll be like O_O on the inside depending on what they say, and then I'll outwardly probably try not to make a big deal of it. It really depends on how others react.

5. What would you do if you actually saw/experienced something that clashes with your previous beliefs, experiences, and habits?
Depends on what I can do about it, yeah? Like right now I'm living with three people who a) never take the trash out b) except that one guy who's just. really. sociovibes, but at least he takes the trash out c) etc etc.
Like... I can lead the asses to the water source but I can't make them drink, you feel me.
(That said, my first instinct is to see what options I have - and also consult an INTJ friend because she's absolutely brilliant when it comes to things like that.)

6. What are some of your most important values? How did you come about determining them? How can they change?
Hmmm... I believe that everyone should put in a fair amount of work, show some consideration for others, have some empathy, etc. I came about determining them from just. going thru a lot of bullshit and saying "okay, this is where my bottom line is, if you break it i'm going to be thinking of ways to... well maybe not screw you up, but i definitely won't consider letting you into my life"
I'll do a 180 degrees "fuck you" when somebody breaches these boundaries -- after giving multiple chances.

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) Hmmm... I'm very indecisive.Like. SUPER indecisive. I'll be staring at a menu weighing for eons.
b) I'd like to be less gullible, I guess. Because it's always come to bite me in the ass, believing that others are good.

8. How do you treat hunches or gut feelings? In what situations are they most often triggered?
I don't really get them a lot, so I can't really tell you that. I usually go with observation, not gut feelings. I wish I had more of those.

9. a) What activities energize you most? b) What activities drain you most? Why?
a) Being alone, drinking coffee/tea, talking to people whom I like... Being able to concentrate on something I enjoy...
b) I get drained by people (as in more than one person), negative environments, hectic places, loud places, bright places... You get the idea. Also having to concentrate on something REALLY boring.

1. 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.
See Q1

2. Study these two images here and here. Which one do you prefer and why? How would you describe it?
Can't see the images

3. Please describe yourself as a person if you were to introduce yourself to someone else like in a cover letter. What kind of person are you and why?
I just wrote a cover letter, the gist of it was that I'm a person who looks at the facts and solves problems step by step in a realistic way. I'm also capable of standing in others' shoes and I value differences. That's because I believe variety in perspective (as in, not the narrow-minded kind that you see over and over again-- that's what i mean by variety) is important to growth.

4. What kind of person would you LIKE to be? Why? What kind of person would you NOT want to be? Why?
I'd like to be a bit more like the character Agent Washington, because he's a kickass kind of guy who can be a leader when he has to be. I have zero leadership qualities (too amicable). He gets things done, he's realistic, and he's also capable of making connections to improvise when it comes down to it (though he hates it).And he stands by his values once he figures out what it is. I'm a bit more flakier about that.
...hmm
I don't wanna be...lots of people ... For instance I don't want to be like the guy next to me. A lot of hostility, zero constructive ways of dealing with anything, selfish as fuck and lacks perspective. I don't want to be the kind of guy that lacks perspective. Coz when you don't have the right perspective, you can't really act to change anything abt it.

5. Do you think there are any differences to how you described yourself and how people actually perceive you? How do you think others would describe you? If there are any discrepancies between these two that are you are aware of; do you know why exactly that is?
Yes I guess so.
I think people would describe me differently depending on how they know me, and what stress levels I'm at (also what level of give a fuck, esteem,etc).
I don't really get much feedback from people in general, but according to someone, I lack confidence, which makes me appear aloof instead, when in fact (according to this person) I'm an intellectually-inclined person with meaningful insights who's happy to contribute.
...I'd take his word for it.

6. What in life do you find to be of importance? Why? If you are unsure you can always take the Value Test and post the results here. Do note that it helps if you narrow it down to 20 or ideally 10 values as suggested at stage 2.
Honesty, integrity, hard work, a positive environment, something wholesome (eg: work-life balance, fulfilling all of maslow's hierarchies)

7. How do you react to new situations in your life? Can you describe an event in your life where you were in an unknown situation? How did you deal with it?
I... don't like the uncertainty, because there's always a chance it could be worse, and they usually do turn out to either be mediocre or worse than expected, so I mean.
Like ... hmmm in March one of my flatmates will be moving away. I'm like "...granted I don't like him but at this rate, it'll be just me and two messy dicks with anger issues who won't do housework, won't pay their share of the compulsory broadcasting fee, or take out the trash".
I'm actually planning to ask the landlord if I can help in showing the flat when the time comes so that I can have some say about how to introduce the flat, and hopefully find someone who likes things to be clean, but that's also a gamble, coz you really can't tell.

8. Please describe yourself when you are in a stressful situation. How do you act and why? Real life experiences are welcome.
I pretty much catastrophise and keep working at it like a hamster running in a wheel hoping it works (often it doesn't in this state).
When it gets stressful enough, I pretty much shut down and start going into escapist mode.

9. Please describe yourself when you are in an enjoyable situation. How do you act and why? Real life experiences are welcome.
When I'm in company I enjoy, I'm happy, easy to get along with, and I act... genial, am ready to help, I'm open about stuff and I don't mind being a part of the "group", so to speak. I appear reliable (when I don't feel like I'm taken advantage of) and hardworking.
...But that very rarely happens.

10. Describe your relationship to socialization. How do you perceive one-on-one interaction? How do you perceive group interaction?
I prefer one-on-one interaction, because there's a lot less to process at the same time.
Group interaction usually occurs with some dynamics, if the "leader" is fair then it's fair, otherwise certain people get shut down and I'm usually one of those coz I have zero charisma when I'm not trying (and I don't have the energy to try).

11. Describe your relationship to society. What are the elements of it you hold important or unimportant (e.g. social norms, values, customs, traditions)? How do you see people as a whole?
I believe people are stupid enough to be influenced by the structures holding society together, but smart enough to deny that categorically. (Like... well... Not dumb enough for it to be a blessing, not smart enough for it to be a blessing, either).
I don't actually like society too much. They usually seem the same to me on a very basic level, and I generally dislike the 'tyranny of the majority'. Those values do tend to change so I'm not like, gonna generalise, but ... I don't trust people. They're not worth it. Put them in a group, they're even worse.

12. Describe your relationship to authority. How do you perceive authority? What does it mean to you, and how do you deal with it?
I'm ok with authority. It keeps things functioning. People respond to authority because it's a function of power. Sometimes power can be abused, but I really do think people need to be subject to some kind of power.

13. Describe your relationship to order and chaos. What do order and chaos mean to you? How do they manifest in your daily life?
I'd like more order and less chaos. I'm getting old and tired, I need my rest, I'm a panda... Zzz.
Order means getting to sleep properly at a certain time, getting up at a certain time, being productive at a certain time of the day, etc.
Chaos is when some idiot from grindr assumes I happen to be free whenever they text me. Also one of my flatmates who has zero idea that time is not actually relative, and that daytime is different from nightttime.

14. What is it that you fear in life? Why? How does this fear manifest to you both in how you think and how you act?
Being stuck/controlled.
I sometimes latch onto any chance of change and just leap without looking or thinking it through as a result.

15. What is it that you desire in life? What do you strive to achieve? Why? Where do you think these drives and desires stem from or are inspired by?
I would like to be self-sufficient in all ways eventually. Be debt-free, have a comfortable savings account enough that I don't have to fear, be comfortable enough with being by myself so that I don't have to worry about attracting shitty people (this one I seem to be getting there, but at the same time I guess it kinda also drives ppl who are interested away. idk)
I think they're inspired by being poor and also having a poor judge of character mostly. Getting better on the second part, idk about the first part.

16. a) What activities energize you most? b) What activities drain you most? Why?
See previous

17. Why do you want to know your type? What type do you think you are? Why this/these type(s)? Is there a type that appeals to you, to your self-perception, that you would like to be? Why? If you know your enneagram, please post this here. If you have done any online function tests such as the Keys2Cognition, it helps if you post these results here as well.
...Curious?? Also I have my hypothesis but I haven't made up my mind. I'd not like to talk about what type I think I am so that people can form a bias-free judgement for themselves and offer their perspectives.

18. Finally, is there something else you find to be of importance you want to add about yourself you think might be of relevance when helping to type you?

 

[Luigi]

I don't have much time now, but from what I saw, there's two possibilities - ISTJ and INTJ in that order. Your answers showed Te, but it's not dominant Te. You prefer to have more information,
and time to think over choices before deciding what you're going to do. That's the extent of my ability to explain, so far.

Depending on how my life goes, I might give your answers a more thorough examination later.

I already considered your enneagram. I'm not sure yet. Yes, so long for now.

 

[Red Memories]

Hi there Agent, I see you around quite a bit!

Let us get into some basic stuff first.

Explain your full decision making process...
We'll say someone brings up a topic you are unaware about and don't have an opinion on
how do you react?
how do you develop the opinion?
how do you cement the opinion?
that sorta thing.

 

[Agent Washington]

Hi there Agent, I see you around quite a bit!

Let us get into some basic stuff first.

Explain your full decision making process...
We'll say someone brings up a topic you are unaware about and don't have an opinion on
how do you react?
how do you develop the opinion?
how do you cement the opinion?
that sorta thing.

Ay yes thank you for showing up despite the lack of free toaster
I sometimes do have a bad ...gut feeling about the topic. I then have to go back and analyse the topic itself, without looking back at why i have the gut feeling (which often is proven right). usually it's easy to see why i have that feeling, because it's like... hmm... i analyse how it's framed, determine the motives for framing the topic a certain way, etc.

then i go to people i trust to give me either an intelligent or a well-educated viewpoint, if they're available, or i ask around to see what kind of responses they might have. if their views appear insightful, i take it into account.

i develop the opinion, however, usually when something "fits", that is to say, i don't see contradicting evidence for this opinion, i fact check it to my knowlege of otehr things (eg: if the topic is on c-ptsd symptoms as exhibited by a character in fiction, i will fact-check it to what i know about combat psychology, killology, military history for precedence, etc). sometimes this step comes first, then the gathering of opinions come second, because there just isnt really that many ppl that know so many things in such great detail and i usually am that one nerd who's probably at least read about it (maybe not in full detail) at some point.

when it's sufficiently proofed against a vast amount of knowlege, then i pretty much consider that stance fixed, and may modify it only if somebody else who really knows what they're talking about and can develop their argument (with concrete, sometimes logical proof) properly comes up with something i havent considered.

 

[Agent Washington]

Here's a third questionnaire.

ayy i am off for the night and the whole of tomorrow. thank u

SCENARIO 1 - FOCUS ON YOUR FEELING PROCESS HERE
Your significant other just ended your 2 year relationship quite suddenly and with no apparent explanation. Up until this point you had both been talking about marriage and last week you even went to look at rings together. Now he/she won't even return your phone calls or texts. After talking with his/her family you find out that he/she has just been diagnosed with terminal stage 4 cancer.
- Describe how this scenario would make you feel as well as what sort of influences and motivations lie behind those feelings. Why do you feel the way you do?
- In this scenario what would you honestly say the primary focus of your feelings would be?

that's a sudden break or change in behaviour, unless they were showing signs that they were unfaithful or there's a new element (eg: new friend, new life circumstances) i'd probably be at a complete loss. I'd feel abandoned probably.
Then when I find out that they have stage 4 cancer, it'd probably be devastating because i don't want to lose someone i presumably love. The focus really would be on them at some point, because i'd be figuring out how they must be feeling, why they did what they did, and how to comfort them in their last days.

SCENARIO 2 - FOCUS ON YOUR FEELING PROCESS HERE
You are in college and this semester both you and your roommate end up in the same class together. You and your roommate get along fairly well and the living situation works but you aren't particularly close. You both typically do your own thing and are rather indifferent to each other. As the semester progresses you excel and become one of the top students in the class whereas your roommate is struggling significantly to grasp the material. The professor assigns a fairly challenging take home test that is a significant portion of your grade. He/she makes it clear that while it is open book, students are to work alone. Later your roommate comes to you begging for help after struggling with the test most of the weekend. You have already completed the assignment and he/she isn't asking to copy your answers, just to help tutor and mentor them as they struggle to complete the test, so there is no way your professor would ever know. However, this is the first time your room-mate has asked you for help this semester. He/she makes it clear that how they do on this test could mean the difference between passing and failing this class.
- How do you respond to your roommate’s request and why?
- What sort of things in this scenario stand out to you as far as having a strong influence on your decision making and why?
- Describe the flow of your decision making process.

i would consider helping them depending on what i already know about them. are they the kind of people who would do their housework without prodding? are they dilligent in their studies or are they usually out partying? all these things would certainly form a picture of their personality and character, and i don't like being taken advantage of. even if theyre a bad student and a shitty person i might still say yes because i'm soft, but i'd probably do it half-heartedly. besides, it's nearly impossible to fail in college anyway, so i'd just do the bare minimum.
if they're good and my esteem of them is ok, i'd probably say yes, point them to the right direction, offer to help, and use this chance to have a bonding opportunity. maybe it'd work and i'd have a new friend. usually it doesnt work because people arent really super grateful abt such things, but then my conscience would be like. 'cool, u tried.'


SCENARIO 3 - FOCUS ON YOUR LOGIC AND THINKING PROCESS HERE
Your boss calls you into his/her office in order to assign you to a new project. He/she gives you a choice between two.
Project 1 is a rather broad, expansive project covering multiple areas of company operations. It has the potential to have a very significant impact on company operations but it would require a collective effort and an extensive amount of group work where you would be logically thinking through the project together with the group of individuals your boss has also assigned to it.
Project 2 has a much more specific and narrow focus and would require a significant amount of in depth individual analysis to work through the problem. You would be working alone and the completion of the project may or may not have much impact on company operations. However, after complete the process and problem you were working on will be streamlined and fundamentally understood.- Which project appeals to you the most, as it relates to the way you prefer to logically process information? Why?
- What sort of things in this scenario, across either project, stood out to you as having a strong influence on your decision? Why?

project 2, hands down. no people involved to muddy my analysis, i have presumably full control over the project. it's really about people and whether or not working with them will cause distractions and reduce perceived productivity. project 2 provides little to no distractions. i have to write a lot of essays of this nature anyway so i know its something i can do.

SCENARIO 4 - FOCUS ON YOUR LOGIC AND THINKING PROCESS HERE
Your college professor has assigned you to a group project with 3 other individuals. All 3 of these individuals have a good strong work ethic and desire to contribute to the overall success of this project. You are at the first meeting of your group and the other members are tossing around valuable ideas as to the nature and direction of this project.
- Describe your behavior in this situation as you process and think about the ideas they are presenting.
- Describe what major influences drive this behavior.

i will listen to them first and write everything down, and then try to contribute as to what i think is more important or workable. usually people tend to be better at coming up with ideas anyway. i look for points that they may not have thought of and talk about it, usually i have at least a couple. or i make my preferences clear and try to add on to somebody else''s idea.
the influences... would be like... if they're intelligent enough and what perspective they have. group work is about coming up with creative ways to approach a problem, then usually we'd settle on something we more or less collectively can agree on. we're still at the brainstorming session.

SCENARIO 5 - FOCUS ON THE SOURCES YOU DRAW NON-PHYSICAL ENERGY FROM HERE
It has been a very long week and you feel mentally and emotionally drained, but good news! It is Saturday and you have nothing significant that needs to be done. You FINALLY have some free time to yourself to recharge your batteries and do whatever you want.
- Describe what sort of activities would help you to recharge. What would you enjoy doing after a long week and why?
- What sort of things do you feel you draw non-physical energy from doing?

nothing xD i'd just relax and do nothing. maybe watch a tv series online. if i'm really bored i draw or write. i'd even nap. no partying for me

SCENARIO 6 - FOCUS ON THINKING VS FEELING HERE
You have a meeting with your college career counselor to discuss potential careers that interest you. He/she offers you a list of the following careers and asks you to pick your TOP 3. He/she asks you to take money out of the equation. Imagine all of these careers received equal compensation. Focus instead on where you would truly feel most happy and fulfilled.
Artist, Scientist, Actor, Engineer, Musician, Lawyer, Counselor, Entrepreneur, Teacher, Manager, Psychologist, Computer Programmer / Analyst, Clergy, Child Care, Medical Doctor
- What were your top 3 choices and what aspects of these careers appeal to you?
- Was it difficult or easy to pick only 3 and why?
- Prioritize the aspects of your career choices that influenced your decision, what things mattered most to you, where do you imagine finding the most fulfillment and why?

psychologist, artist, musician
yes, because i know my preferences well enough
whether a field of analysis would be interesting to me, followed by whetehr it's something that i can have some creative vision to set in motion, so there's a sense of fulfilment.

SCENARIO 7 - Click on the image below and pay close attention to the things that jump out to you, objects, thoughts, feelings, impressions, ideas etc. What do you see?
- Describe the main things that stand out to you in this picture.
- Why do you think/feel you focused on those things?
- Describe the strength with which this photo did or did not appeal to you and why?

canyon, shrubbery, water.
...uhmm. its there?
it appeals to me, but i dont find it super appealing. i like it in the way that you'd like a scene from a generic video game. i'd probably enjoy exploring it a bit more if it was possible.

Ay yes thank you for showing up despite the lack of free toaster
I sometimes do have a bad ...gut feeling about the topic. I then have to go back and analyse the topic itself, without looking back at why i have the gut feeling (which often is proven right). usually it's easy to see why i have that feeling, because it's like... hmm... i analyse how it's framed, determine the motives for framing the topic a certain way, etc.

then i go to people i trust to give me either an intelligent or a well-educated viewpoint, if they're available, or i ask around to see what kind of responses they might have. if their views appear insightful, i take it into account.

i develop the opinion, however, usually when something "fits", that is to say, i don't see contradicting evidence for this opinion, i fact check it to my knowlege of otehr things (eg: if the topic is on c-ptsd symptoms as exhibited by a character in fiction, i will fact-check it to what i know about combat psychology, killology, military history for precedence, etc). sometimes this step comes first, then the gathering of opinions come second, because there just isnt really that many ppl that know so many things in such great detail and i usually am that one nerd who's probably at least read about it (maybe not in full detail) at some point.

when it's sufficiently proofed against a vast amount of knowlege, then i pretty much consider that stance fixed, and may modify it only if somebody else who really knows what they're talking about and can develop their argument (with concrete, sometimes logical proof) properly comes up with something i havent considered.

A quick analysis from this would tell me, 1. you are intuitive. I'll have to gather some more questions to decide which intuition you are actually using though.

Part 2 suggests Fe.

Part 3 suggests Si

Part 4 suggests your thinking style but I also need more data to know which thinking style.

at this moment I'd say Si-Fe for you. I'll see you when you've returned as well.

I've always seen you as a 6 for some reason, but it's more an intuitive, not-well-thought-out thingamajiggy, so I cannot support it yet (mostly because I am utterly too lazy atm to think it through). You have a bit of a familiar feel to me, and I think that is because I dated an ISTJ not too long ago. There is something really similar to how you two speak of other people, however I find you FAR less grating and much more personable than he was. I think you have a strong Ne for an inferior Ne user, but I often hear the same about me in regards to Se. I think those of us who go through trauma develop our functions weirdly.

Anyway, I am not saying you are definitively an ISTJ 6, but it's to be considered imho. I'll try to mull it over a bit and put more effort into it.

One thing I can recommend though is to get really familiar with how the instincts work, because that is soooo underrated with regards to determining your type. I wouldn't focus on a tritype too much until you feel at least fairly confident about your core type. By the way, as far as I understand, your instinctual preferences carry with you through all tri-fixes. Instincts are the most primitive and deeply ingrained part of our psyches, so they aren't just going to switch when we go from heart to head, for example. Therefore, if your tritype is 369 and your instinctual stacking is Sp/Sx, when you travel through your stack due to stress, you will always be an Sp.

That probably didn't simplify things at all, but I guess what I'm trying to say is don't listen to all the shit you hear everywhere. People mean well, but I think they are misguided.

(If I'm wrong about any of this, please inform me with cited resources as I appreciate learning and sticking to the methods the way they are intended to be used.)

Thanks! What kinda data do you need??

I type by archetypes and "feel" too, once stacks get confusing, or I have too little info about what's going on in people's heads in a variety of situations. Completely understandable.

I know people who use their inferior Se a lot, and are probably situationally better than I am when it comes to typical Sensor things (I'm... ehhhh about this actually). I also ...hmm... Well, I guess we do develop our inferior functions after going to Bad Things, because that's pretty much the catastrophising state, right?

I've pretty much considered e5, e6, e7, and I'm still undecided about all of the head enneagrams because they're ...pretty much all kinda me.

I'm also going to take what people say with a grain of salt -- what I'm looking for is different perspectives that maybe I can factor into consideration, if that's what you mean. But yeah, I know what you mean.

Do you have any good online links about the instinctive variants? I've got the gist of it, but I want to dig in deeper, so to speak. I don't know if I'm So last or if it's just my Asperger's being... Aspergy... Coz I do take broader societal implications into account, and so on. I'm really more like, "what definition should I use?" when it comes to variant stacks.

I'm replying to remind myself to come back to this. I think it's really important to learn how the instincts work with one another, as we use them in a specific order to support our deepest needs. Oftentimes, we aren't even what we outwardly appear to be. We can also have either negative or positive views of our instincts, EVEN our primary! So you could be Sp-first but not really take care of yourself or even subconsciously punish yourself by neglecting your Sp needs, but those points will likely be on your mind quite often and you may even overlook all of that in your search for determining your type because the primary instinct is so deeply ingrained that it's comparable to breathing; something we do all the time but pay little attention to, and therefore have very little awareness of.

Also, don't listen to other people's definitions of instinctual subtypes. Social does not mean socializing or even wanting what's best for a community! You can be So-last and still be sociable and interested in the welfare of your family or community.

Self Preserving-the search for well-being.
Social-the search for community.
Sexual-the search for intimacy.

Social actually has more to do with how the community sees you and what is your respective position within that community. Picture the soccer mom who volunteers for all the PTO engagements, or the social butterfly who says "hi" to everyone at the party, or the guy consciously networking to gain a title at work, or even the shy, quiet housewife who volunteers her time to teach Sunday school at church but doesn't know how to integrate into the adult group because of social anxiety despite wanting to (which gives her the appearance of constantly looking in from outside, so despite not looking social, she could very well be social first).

It's all about deep drives that go beyond anything we can control.

When I come back later, I'll explain to you why I think I am Sp/Sx, despite being one of the most "out there" people on forum (or AM I anymore??? And why is that?)
