'sup boiz.
I'm after some help typing myself, this shit has been doing my head in for like 2 months now.
I've legit thought I was a load of different types at some point over the last two months.
So I'm in need of some real help, the most recent test I took was the Flow Type test thing on Erik Thors website which gave me ENTP:
Your Flow Type Test (Full version) - Erik Thor
I actually test relatively consistently as an INFJ, and tested as an INFJ on the official site, but sometimes, I feel like I'm a bit too WTF to be an INFJ, not to mention I'm nowhere near the empath the descriptors make them out to be.
So, I stole this from [MENTION=29903]Mayflower[/MENTION]
During work, group activities, etc. what role do you often gravitate to?
I gravitate to something I can do on my own, preferably. I've never been in a supervisory position, so no idea how I'd enjoy that.
I find myself constantly thinking up better ways of doing things, ideas for the company I'm working for etc.. like.. new sales techniques, or things that would let us e-mail people ourselves, alternate ways to close sales, or at a previous job, I'd think of different ways to upsell or ways for employees to bypass business rules, and I'd actually go so far as to write them up and let my superiors know which rules I deemed to be terrible.
I do prefer working on my own, but yeah. I'm not entirely sure how to approach this question.
If forced into a group, I would gravitate towards wanting to think up the best ways forward, and I wouldn't be afraid of getting my hands dirty and leading the way in that regard.
I'd like to be in a position where I can think up great new ideas and have them come to fruition in a way that works for everyone - i.e take everyones ideas on board, and then sort of synthesize it all into a killer way forward.
A real world example of me in a group activity environment is perhaps basketball - I'd always want to be the one to take the shot, or if someone else has proved themselves to be a better shot, I'd want to focus on getting the ball to them.
In video games, I wind up taking a healer/protector type roll, where I help people achieve goals i.e using a Priest, or being a Sniper.
What habits/traits are you often criticized over by those closest to you? (Give at least two examples)
Arrogance and not being able to stick to things as much as they'd like.
What values do you hold? Why?
I'm not entirely sure. I'll never do drugs or smoke.
Because they're just bad ideas.
Describe your decision making process.
Think up pros and cons, then follow my heart and throw everything I've considered out the window.
Reviewing all your enjoyable moments, what aspects often made them worthwhile?
Real connections. Marrying my wife. Having our daughter. Real emotional connections to people I love.
Another thing is when I'm in the zone musically, I absolutely love that feeling of connecting with the audience in this way - you can just feel it, it's magic.
Which is weird because I'm the worlds biggest introvert. But sometimes, when you play music at a gig, it just clicks and for a moment it's like you're on another planet, it's almost a high of sorts, I would imagine.
So yeah. Even my best moments with my friends, from being a kid, would come down to those kinds of emotional connections - from trolling the police, to just playing video games with them and having a blast. Those emotional connections almost choke me up sometimes.
Do you ever want to make a difference in the world? Why/Why not? What would you do?
Absolutely. Because it's a waste of life otherwise.
I want to help people out. Help people find employment. Be a mediator. Counsellor. Social worker. That kind of thing.
I'm a telemarketer now, and as much as people would likely hate me - the feeling I get when I land a sale, and provide someone with a product I KNOW they will love and use, and definitely not regret, is just awesome. Brings me back to the connections thing.
The connections thing makes no sense in my head because I am an introvert and legit don't like small-talk on the streets etc, not much of a people person.
What traits about other people annoy you?
Fake. Bullshit artists. People who are just dumb as dogshit. Impatience annoys me - makes me wanna smack people up, which is funny because I can get impatient myself.
But out of everything, it's fake.
I can see through people like glass and when I know someone is dodgy.. yeah, I'm on to them, and won't like them, ever.
I won't ever see them as anything but a manipulative bullshit artist.
Anyway, any help would be awesome!
I want to know because I want to basically use this typing stuff to better myself in all aspects of my life, it's for self-development.
I find it annoying because it can get confusing, loads of descriptions are very abstract and everyone seems to have their own meaning for functions, which pisses me right the hell off.
I resonate with loads of different types and functions and could make a compelling argument for pretty much every function being in my stack.
This is why I've come here for help, because I'm obviously messing up somewhere.
Cheers!
