So, I finally found some time to focus on doing one of these questionnaire things. I thought I'd never do it, since there are so many questions! But, here it is. Thanks for any feedback at all!
1) What aspect of your personality made you unsure of your type?
I'm getting different results when taking MBTI and Ennegrams that don't seem like they match up. I'm fairly certain that my Ennegram 549 is correct, but it also could be 539. I think I can relate to so many traits of each personality type on Enneagram, but especially all the Head types. I don't know where that leaves my MBTI though. I just started to research for myself. I originally have tested on MBTI as INFJ and also INFP, but the more I read about those types, the more at odds I am about it. I think I'm not a feeler after all, but a very internal thinker that comes across as a feeler. I just recently took the Jung MBTI that was posted on another thread, and it typed me as INTP. I also just watched a YouTube video that mentions female INTP are not easy to type, because they may end up mistyped as INFP when they really aren't. That's happened to me where my results would end up about 50/50 Feeling/Thinking.
2) What do you yearn for in life? Why?
Honestly, I don't know. To understand myself and have a better understanding of anything really.
3) Think about a time where you felt like you were at your finest.
I don't think I have had a finest time in my life. Only spurts of temporary happiness.
4) What makes you feel inferior?
That I can't find what I want to do in life. It's easier for others to get and keep a job, but for me, I can't even begin to know what I want to do. I don't want to say that nothing interests me, but that's sort of how I'm starting to feel about it. No career seems to interest me. It's like I have no calling in life, other than to sit around observing and over analyzing why things are the way they are.
5) What tends to weigh on your decisions? (Do you think about people, pro-cons, how you feel about it, etc.)
I weigh the pros and cons of my decisions. Right, wrong, logical, illogical. I don't know how to answer this question in depth.
6) When working on a project what is normally your emphasis? Do you like to have control of the outcome?
I haven't worked on many projects outside of college, projects are not something I'm interested in being a part of especially if it's a group project. I'd rather someone else be in control of a group project, but me have some influence on the end result. Other than that, I'd rather have my own project and do things on my time and not pressured with deadlines.
7) Describe a time where you had a lot of fun. How is your memory of it?
When going on road trips, traveling, hiking and observing nature. This is probably the only outgoing spontaneous side of me. I find most of these memorable and happy experiences, especially when it is doing something new or finding a new location to visit.
8) When you want to learn something new, what feels more natural for you?
If I want to learn something new I would most likely do my own research on a subject. I think I might also consider taking a course to learn more, but overall, I think investigating the subject matter first hand without college or a course is what I'd do.
9) How organized do you think of yourself as?
Not very. But, I also think it would be different if I were at work. I think I may be more neat and organized at work, but my everyday life is just not very organized at all. It may be a tad put together, but I'm also not a slob.
10) How do you judge new ideas? You try to understand the principles behind it to see if they make sense or do you look for information that supports it?
I'm more interested in other peoples new ideas than my own. I think I'm open-minded enough to want to try to understand if the idea is actually doable and makes sense. I think I would first do some research looking for supporting information and do a comparative analysis.
11) You find harmony by making sure everyone is doing fine and belonging to a given group or by making sure that you follow what you believe and being yourself?
I don't think I can answer this, because I can't find "harmony" in anything right now, not even in being myself.
12) Are you the kind that thinks before speaking or do you speak before thinking? Do you prefer one-on-one communication or group discussions?
I think before I speak and prefer one-on-one discussions.
13) Do you jump into action right away or do you like to know where are you jumping before leaping? Does action speaks more than words?
I like to know where I am jumping before leaping. So, there's no doubt that I would think before performing an action. Actions speaks louder than words. That doesn't mean you should act without thinking. Obviously you need to know what it is you're getting yourself into.
14) It's Saturday. You're at home, and your favorite show is about to start. Your friends call you for a night out. What will you do?
It depends on what a "night out" means. If it means party, then, no. If it's to hang out and catch up one-on-one, then probably go. Otherwise, I'd say no.
15) How do you act when you're stressed out?
Try to keep it together for the most part. I might start over-thinking and becoming more withdrawn than usual.
16) What makes you dislike the personalities of some people?
Disregard for other people and their differences. People that can't see anothers perspective and thinks everyone should be like them. People who are controlling.
17) Is there anything you really like talking about with other people?
I like talking about a shared interest with other people. But, I mostly like to listen to other peoples stories and ideas, even if it's not a subject I'm interested in. There is a higher chance I might space out, but yeah, I would rather just do the listening than the talking if it's something we don't have common interest in.
18) What kind of things do you pay the least attention to in your life?
My outfits. xD I wear what feels comfortable to me, not what the latest fashion trends indicate. I'm low maintenance and like to keep things simple. I'm not highly detailed oriented, but if that was a requirement for a job, I'd be more observant.
19) How do your friends perceive you? What is wrong about their perception? What would your friends never say about your personality ?
The perceptions that they are right about are that I'm quiet, introspective, observer, always in deep thought mode. Some of them would say I am too serious and that I'm shy, but I'm actually not shy at all. I'm cautious, and I'm not always serious, that's just what my face looks like, especially in "deep thought" mode. My friends would never say I'm emotionless or useless.
20) You got a whole day to do whatever you like. What kind of activities do you feel like doing?
This can go different ways depending on my mood, because I like staying home doing absolutely nothing productive (maybe watch a movie or play video games), but I also like going out for a few hours just to be out. I can still be happy in both situations. But, I think I would mostly choose the staying at home option to do whatever I wanted.
