I'll start with some tidbits about myself. Questionnaire below.
Currently a web developer. I'm trying to find another job at the moment, as there is too much drama in this one and I'm getting bored.
I am not a very emotional person and have low empathy, if any.
I am easily addicted to things.
I was much more..interesting when I was younger. I took a lot of classes. Drawing, painting, CADD, 3D animation, guitar, piano, singing, tennis, some craft-making, and woodshop. I also used to like swimming, hiking, and playing basketball. Since three years ago I can't stand the idea of physical exertion, not sure what happened. I've become out of shape and lazy.
I was never great in school. I aced my tests, but everything else I just refused to do. I thought it was boring and I wasn't going to do it.
I can master just about anything I set my mind to. I'm always at the top of my class in areas I'm interested in.
I've always had a knack for understanding how things work.
I am extremely competitive. If I don't think I can win, I won't play.
I love/need to drive fast. I'll go anywhere from 80-140mph on my way to work. (I don't tailgate)
Other than the driving, I've never been known to be a daredevil.
My interests in music are all over the place.
My diet is extremely limited due to hypersensitivity.
Here's the 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.
Anxiety disorder and sensory processing disorder. I've been diagnosed with Aspergers/high functioning autism.
Currently taking 100mg of Zoloft a day.
Aromantic heterosexual male. 22. Bored.
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.
https : // www . flickr . com/photos/hipydeus/19556829185/in/explore-2015-07-09/ (The 15 post rule about links is foolish. I could just spam other threads to post them.)
First thought is that it'd be nice to be the person in the photo. Seems like the weather would be perfect and the view is awe-inspiring. It makes me want to go hiking.
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?
Outward reactions: probably none. I have an 'everything will work out' attitude about most things. I don't usually panic. I don't know how to fix cars, but I'm pretty good at problem solving.
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?
Hate parties. I'd rather wait out in the car. I might drop them off, but joining them is unlikely.
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?
Depends. If I know it's wrong and I can back it up, I'll tell them. If it is entirely subjective or I don't have enough to back up my own belief I'll keep quiet.
5. What would you do if you actually saw/experienced something that clashes with your previous beliefs, experiences, and habits?
See answer to number 4.
6. What are some of your most important values? How did you come about determining them? How can they change?
I'm not sure what my values really are. I care about what is logically correct.
7. a) What about your personality most distinguishes you from everyone else? b) If you could change one thing about your personality, what would it be? Why?
a) I'm considered very eccentric. I see it in some ways but I don't think I'm as eccentric as people label me.
b) If this counts, I'd like to have less anxiety. I'm very self-conscious while at the same time having high confidence.
8. How do you treat hunches or gut feelings? In what situations are they most often triggered?
I usually follow them. I like to do some research and fact checking before I express them. They aren't really situation specific.
9. a) What activities energize you most? b) What activities drain you most? Why?
a) This depends on what I'm interested in at the moment. Generally speaking, I like things that produce tangible results. I like building things and putting puzzles together. I also like playing video games and solving problems. I'm great at figuring out and knowing how things work.
b) Anything that involves people. Parties are a no-go. I've never been good at team based activities, whether it be sports or school/work projects.
10. What do you repress about your outward behavior or internal thought process when around others? Why?
At this point, I don't think I repress anything really. This depends on the person. I'm good at picking my battles.
