Hey,
Recently got interested in the Myer-Briggs personality types. I've already taken several tests and studied the different cognitive functions of each type. So I have some idea on what type would suit me best. However, I was wondering how others would type me using a user made questionnaire of this site. Also, I haven't come to a conclusion myself, the tests always gives me a different result, and even after reading I'm not sure what type I may be. So without further ado, here are my answers!
(I'll try to be as succinct as possible)
1. During your youth (7'ish to 18), What did you focus on the most? What activities did you like and why? What aspect of life was lax in attention?
Never had much friends, from age 5-11, had one best friend. Always played with legos. From age 12-18, had more friends due to my older brother. Played a lot of basketball in my own backyard, throwing the ball around helped me ease my mind, I would make up stories in my head when doing that, those stories sticked with me ever since, wrote them all down.
EDIT: To add something. Also did regular stuff, wasn't always just me and my friend. Have 2 brothers and two cousins with whom I had a good relationship back then. We would just play outside like regular kids too. But I loved legos, and every now and then some random things (moon, egyptian gods,...). Something that I still have, but I already had it as a kid, is that my interests could be really specific, when reading comics for example I would take interest in very minor characters. I remember that I had that with one of the villain's henchman in TinTin's the black island. Same goes for the god Seth and I have many examples, those were mainly based on their looks and their position.
2. 2. You're in you senior year of high school (or whatever equivalent) and you are looking back over the last couple of years. What was your favorite aspect of the schooling experience and why? Favorite subject and why?
In comparison with university. I liked how trivial everything was. My grades weren't that good, but I never really bothered to study and yet it felt like smooth sailing. Favorite subjects were history and the humanities; geography could be interesting at times.
3. A couple of friends call and invite you out to a restaurant. While there, you all are pleasantly conversing and one of your friends makes a comment that irked you. What are you're thoughts and how do you respond?
Depends, on how much it irked me and in what way it annoyed me. I could ridiculize it, say nothing or if it really bugged me be serious about it. But I tend to let things like that pass on.
4. Your schooling is done and it's time to strike out into the world!! What sort of career do you want to go into and why?
Working for the police always interested me. Not the regular police force, more like the federal department of justice and police (not sure if that's the right way to translate it). Being an analyst for the state security service also interests me, as does being a teacher (that's the career that my own teachers adviced me to pursue), but I'm not sure if I'm qualified for that, I'm not always as clear and articulate as I like to be
5. A friend is getting married and they put you in charge of the cake. You narrowed it down to two places to make an order. The first is a bakery with whom you got a good relationship with. The other is a well-known cake maker to whom everyone goes to (your friend hints to it as well). Which one do you choose and why?
If I'm positive my friend makes a good wedding cake, I would go there. Don't care about public opinion, and if I can do my good friend a favor, why not kill two birds with one stone then? Could also be an opportunity to introduce a new name to the game, people might just like him more than the other well-known cake maker.
6. You get into an argument with a friend/family member/co-worker. They criticize one of your personality traits. What would most likely be the focus of their critique?
Didn't happened that long ago that I couldn't move things further with a girl because of one of my 'bad traits'. She said that I was way to passive and inert. And I've heard that one many times before, one of my teachers in high school told me I was too nonchalant, another teacher told me that it always looks like I'm not quite 'there' during the lectures and that I'm way too passive.
7. It's New Years! You and your friends are out and about after a party. Being drunk, one of your friends suggests to do something....'questionable' (Nothing serious. I.e, drugs, escort, etc.). What are your thoughts and how do you respond?
Drugs would be off limits for me. I'll stick with alcohol. But if my friends want to do it, go ahead, I would probably think they are lame though. No, I'm sure I would find them lame, certainly when I know some of those friends aren't on board either, but just go along with it.
That being said, I have no problem being around people who use drugs (soft drugs), as long as their presence is not bothersome. It's the same with drinking alcohol, know your limits, don't be a nuisance.
8. A new art gallery opens up and your friend wants to go to the grand opening. Both of you analyze all the paintings and sculptures. What about these works warrants the most attention from you? Why?
I would try to estimate the amount of craftsmanship the creator of a certain piece of art would need to posses to be able to create it. I can't stand that bullshit 'art', where you place a bananapeel on a stick and then ramble on about capitalism or how the essence of a jug is it's emptiness. It can be art, alright. But if that kind of art is the onyl thing you can do, then you're not an artist. Duchamp could paint.
9. You have been saving up and decide to buy a new car. At the dealership, you peruse the lots. What are the criteria and factors that influence your choice? Which one would initially be your main focus?
It needs to be comfortable and practical. I'm not really into flashy or fast cars, though if I would go for a car with a lot of horsepower, I would go for a car that doesn't show it has that amount of power. A sleeper or whatever you gearheads would call it. You can probably tell that I don't know anything about cars.
10. Yep, you now have a kid (sex of your choosing)! Years pass and they are now 15 years old. You notice their personality traits are the complete opposite of how you were when at their age. Describe how they are. Describe the possible conflicts that would arise between both of you due to differing temperaments.
They couldn't be alone for a long time, feel the need to be around people all the time. Would be bold and more out there, probably more optimistic too.
I don't know how I would clash with them. I'd expect my kids to be well-considered, be a bit hungry for knowledge and think before you act. Don't be naive. In general I'm not one to have an explosive temper, but I can be impatient at times. So I can imagine if my patience is put to the test I can be an annoying guy. When I look at the things that annoy me in my close relatives, it are things like being inefficient (always making things more complicated than they are) that always make me stressed. Also, my children would always be late.
It's a bit long, but I'm looking forward to your results!
Best regards,
Claudius
