It seems like no matter what type I think I am, someone always comes along and tells me I'm something else. Lately, a lot of ENTPs have been making me question my INTPness (specifically my use of Ti). The main types I'm thinking I might be are ISFJ, ISFP, INFP, or INTP. I've actually started to lean more toward thinking I'm a sensor, for various reasons, and I think it's very possible that I'm some sort of feeler. Anway, I guess I'll fill out this questionnaire I found (I think it's a socionics questionnaire but meh) and let you guys decide.
Personal concepts
1.What is beauty? What is love?
Beauty is an attribute of anything that is pleasing to one's senses, whether it be a painting, a candle, a song... you get the point. Love is a feeling of such deep infatuation that it is painful to be separated from the other person (whether it is a friend, relative, significant other, etc.)
2. What are your most important values?
The only constant value I have is never letting anyone be bullied or otherwise stand alone. I'm always that one annoying person who sticks up for the person getting made fun of, ruining everyone's good time in the process.
3. Do you have any sort of spiritual/religious beliefs, and why do you hold (or don't) those beliefs in the first place?
I believe in various unrelated (or even contradicting) theories like heaven and reincarnation, but I don't follow any specific religion. I don't know why I believe in those things; they just make sense to me, even if it's very unlikely that they're both real.
4. Opinion on war and militaries? What is power to you?
They're necessary because no matter how accepting and compassionate you are, there will always be people who value force over diplomacy. Those people can't be reasoned with.
Power is the ability to change and manipulate (not in the negative sense of the word) situations, things, and people.
Interests
5. What have you had long conversations about? What are your interests? Why?
The only types of conversations that can hold my interest for a really long time are about people. Either specific people or groups of people or just society as a whole. My biggest interests are things like personalities, archetypes, hierarchies, classifications, etc. I like sorting people into groups and/or defining them.
6. Interested in health/medicine as a conversation topic? Are you focused on your body?
I'm a hypochondriac, so that would be a 'no.'
I'm not sure what the second part is asking.
7. What do you think of daily chores?
There's shit that has to get done. Eventually you get used to it. Once you work chores into your routine, they really feel no different than other daily tasks like showering and stuff.
8. Books or films you liked? Recently read/watched or otherwise. Examples welcome.
I'm not much of a reader, but some of my favorite movies are Deadpool, Suicide Squad, Iron Man, The Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, The Devil Wears Prada, Fifty Shades of Grey (yes, I actually liked it), and The Breakfast Club. I like anything with dynamic characters, or with interesting character backgrounds.
9. What has made you cry? What has made you smile? Why?
Usually when I cry, it's usually caused by a) looking at my situation from an outside perspective as if I'm watching a movie and realizing it's really sad or sentimental, not out of self-pity but more like some detached form of empathy, or b) out of sheer frustration. I also cry during emotional scenes in shows and movies, but that doesn't really count.
I smile at cute stuff like romantic gestures, and stuff that I find entertaining and random. Like earlier today, I saw a post that was this guy asking if anyone in the group (an MBTI group) was looking for a relationship, so I casually posted a link to meetme.com and said nothing. It made me smile.
10. Where do you feel: at one with the environment/a sense of belonging?
Anywhere that is quiet, tranquil, safe, warm, and somewhat aesthetically pleasing. This includes cafes, bookstores, libraries, and similar places.
Evaluation & Behaviour
11. What have people seen as your weaknesses? What do you dislike about yourself?
People are always telling me that I care way too much about what other people think. I dislike that I'm unlikable, and that I'm so bad at making friends.
12. What have people seen as your strengths? What do you like about yourself?
Most of the compliments I get are some form of either "you're really nice" or "you're real and honest." I like that I give so much in my relationships; I treat my close friends and significant others (not others as in plural, but like whoever I'm dating at the time) like royalty.
13. In what areas of your life would you like help?
I'd like to get help managing my anxiety.
14. Ever feel stuck in a rut? If yes, describe the causes and your reaction to it.
Yes, especially recently. It's usually caused by a lack of enjoyment in pretty much anything. My reaction is to slowly change things until I figure out what was causing the problem. I'm actually in a rut right now and I quit my job a few days ago thinking that was the problem, but things haven't improved much, so it must be something else.
People & Interactions
15. What qualities do you most like and dislike in other people? What types do you get along with?
I like when people don't take things too seriously, and I absolutely cannot stand when people are uptight, or when people dislike people for being "lazy" or "disrespectful."
16. How do you feel about romance/sex? What qualities do you want in a partner?
I could write on this topic for hours. I'm very romantic and sexual. In fact, most of the time it's my primary motivation in life. Not like, having a nice family or a stable marriage or anything like that, but just having a passionate, sensual relationship with lots of attraction and lots of excitement.
The most important quality for a partner is that they're compassionate and empathetic. Above all else, I need someone who can calm me down when I'm anxious or panicked. It's not a preference or a "like" but a need. I also have a strong preference for dominant partners, but again, in a more romantic/sexual sense than a traditional sense. I also tend to be attracted to guys who are into obscure things like gaming, fantasy novels, and metal music, because I like that they stand out from society. It's sort of like finding a unicorn.
17. If you were to raise a child, what would be your main concerns, what measures would you take, and why?
My main concerns would be social interaction and self-expression. I never really "fit in" as a kid, and most of my interests/thoughts were dismissed as "weird" by my parents, so I want to make sure my kids have a decent support system and feel accepted. I'd take the lenient "friend" approach to parenting, because fuck people who use fear tactics to turn their kids into obedient robots.
18. A friend makes a claim that clashes with your current beliefs. What is your inward and outward reaction?
It depends on the belief. If he/she says something about supporting gun control, for example, I'd explain the reasons for my position but ultimately not care. If he/she made a comment like "kids and teens need to learn their place," I'd probably be polite outwardly but not associate with him/her anymore.
19. Describe your relationship to society. How do you see people as a whole? What do you consider a prevalent social problem? Name one.
I'm an outside observer. I watch people and frequently make judgments, but I never really feel like a part of anything. As a whole, I see people as self-sorting. People tend to define themselves through the people they associate with, and hang out in groups that are like-minded. I'm not sure what the third part is asking.
20. How do you choose your friends and how do you behave around them?
I choose them based on if I feel comfortable talking to them. I can usually tell when someone dislikes me, is sympathetic toward me, or genuinely accepts me. Common interests help too. The way I behave around them changes frequently.
21. How do you behave around strangers?
I choose my words carefully and try to exude whatever image I'm going for at the time, because every first impression I make is a chance to reinvent myself.
