Hello! I need help understanding what cognitive functions I use and what my type is. Here's some info about me.
I've always loved history as well as politics. Empires and those who ruled them are fascinating to me. Since I was a child, history intrigued me. I used to love to ask my grandfather about historical events he remembered and who are our ancestors were. I was his only grandchild who took a strong interest in the news and the political dynamics of the country as a kid. He was proud of my maturity.
I have a knack for writing. Given that I have Aspergers, I have often struggled socially but writing is when I feel most confident and an able to express how I feel in powerful ways. The vast majority of people who see my academic/creative writing are impressed.
I am not narcisstic, but I hate the idea of being like everyone else. Since I was young, I've dreamed of doing something extraordinary to make my name in the history books.
I am told I have a good heart. I do like to help others and have a very difficult time telling close friends no. Historically, this has led to me being taken advantage of.
I have noticed a lot of my friends feel protective over me and treat me like a younger brother. Despite being intellectual and very comfortable with older people (late fifties and up), I have childish ways. I love superheroes, fantasy, and like the thought of having a lot of kids to do fun things with.
The thought of legacy consumes me. I often think about what I can do to ensure my kids and grandkids grow up wealthy and privileged. I firmly believe every generation should improve.
I love Breaking Bad, Mad Men, and most of all, Game of Thrones (my favorite show of all time). I am most drawn to characters with great vision like Walter White and even Tywin Lannister.
I love getting lost in the pages of a good book, tv show, or movie. I also have an emotion connection with my favorite musical artists. Even though Kanye West is an asshole, I've very drawn to him as an artist and relate to a lot of what he discusses in his music.
I am very ambitious and often looking for ways to improve myself. Nevertheless, I am a dreamer who doesn't always actualize my visions.
I can come across as scatterbrained. I am a chronic over thinker given my OCD. I can be a bit envious when others go abroad or do things I strongly desire to. I don't wish these people I'll and I'm happy for them, but I do long to see the world. I often feel different from the people around me, which can cause loneliness, but is now a great source of pride for me.
By the way, I almost always get INFP and sometimes INFJ on tests. I get INFP about 75 percent of the time. However, I have a friend who's very knowledgeable about cognitive functions who is adamant that the tests aren't accurate and that I am really an INTP. I've never liked math or science much (except pertaining to the planets), but I can relate to other aspects of being an INTP such as being an over thinker, liking abstract conversations and hypothehicals, and being socially awkward.
