I have received various results on tests, and I am curious as to what my "true" type is. I received INFJ on the Jungian test on this site, and I tend to receive INFP on most other tests, but not all. I received ESFJ on the sakinorva cognitive function test, but I believe that to be inaccurate, as I am extremely introverted. I am also quite unconscientious, and I additionally struggle with simply focusing on the "here and now" to accomplish tasks, i.e. "taking it one step at a time", I tend to think of possible scenarios that could occur years from now. So yes, focusing on the present has been quite the struggle for me. I thought that INFP could be a good fit, but I was told by someone that I have a speech pattern that indicates a sensing type. I was also told that it was unlikely that Ni was my dominant function, due to my relative weakness in nonverbal cognitive ability when contrasted with my verbal ability, purportedly making INFJ unlikely. I am also a very sensitive person, and I don't really spend a whole lot of time engaging with the "real world".
These are the functions I got on the Jungian test on this site:
sakinorva.net also had the NEO-PI-R, which is a big 5 test, so I took it and obtained these results:
The NEO-PI-R results seem quite accurate to me, although I expected agreeableness to be slightly higher.
I'll also fill out the questionnaire from the sticky thread. I hope I'll be able to gain some insight into my type.
1) Context:
a) What is your age range and general location (Country so that cultural values can be taken into account)? Do you have any impairments that may affect the way that you answer this questionnaire? Any religious or political beliefs (or anything else along those lines) that also might have an effect?
I am between 15 and 20 years old, and I live in the USA. I have been diagnosed with level 1 ASD, and I am non-religious.
b) Which types are you currently considering? Why are you considering them and why haven’t you decided on one?
INFP, ISFP, INFJ, and ESFJ. I haven't decided because I have gotten conflicting results.
2) What do you deem as your purpose in life?
I am unsure of my precise purpose, as I'm still decently young, but I think that I'd find a lot of purpose in conducting scientific research, as it'd allow me to learn more about fields which interest me, and it'd allow me to make new contributions to the collective human knowledge base, which will continue to exist after I am gone.
3) Of the seven deadly sins, which one(s) do you relate to the most and the least and why?
I probably relate most to Sloth, and least to Pride. I relate to Sloth most, as I tend to have trouble giving tasks which don't fully interest me my full effort, even if they are objectively important. I relate the least to Pride, as I am often told that I tend to think too low of myself.
4) Analyzing your relationships with others, briefly describe:
a) The type of people you are drawn to
I am drawn to people who share at least some interests with me, and who concomitantly have the ability to discuss ideas and concepts in great depth, even if they aren't fully familiar with the concept being discussed, so an ability to learn very quickly.
b) The type of people who are drawn to you
I am not totally sure what type of people tend to be drawn to me, as I rarely spend time meeting new people.
c) The type of people you are repulsed by
I despise superficial people. I am also repulsed by people who have short-sighted viewpoints, e.g. viewpoints which fail to consider all of the essential elements of an idea, viewpoints which lack nuance, and viewpoints which fail to consider the future ramifications of something, and the extent of those ramifications. However, this does not mean that I am simply repulsed by people who don't share the same views as me, because I believe that is untrue. I don't think I am repulsed by people who simply have views which oppose mine, provided those opposing views are well-thought-out.
5)What are the traits in others that you admire but you cannot emulate yourself? Elaborate.
The ability to be productive consistently. While I can be productive at times, I have trouble doing it consistently, and the ability to consistently be productive is a trait which I admire.
6) Describe your relationship with the following:
a) Anger
I can feel anger pretty strongly. I tend to get quite angry when people are unreliable, when they make claims that fail to consider essential aspects of whatever issue they are making claims about, and when they are superficial.
b) Shame
I feel shame mainly when I fail to live up to my personal standards, and those standards can be quite high.
c) Fear
I admittedly do sometimes experience fear of the unknown, especially when considering future scenarios, such as how human-machine interaction may develop in the future.
d) Love/passion
If I grow to care about someone, I'll usually care about them a lot, and tend to overlook negative traits, but that extends the possibility of being hurt, so it's a double-edged sword.
e) Conflict
I feel that conflict is definitely sometimes necessary for resolving issues, so it frustrates me greatly when some people to do all they can to avoid the conflict which is necessary to resolve issues. I think that is much more damaging than just getting through the conflict, and resolving the underlying problems. It also upsets me quite a lot when some people transfer and externalize blame to avoid confronting underlying issues.
7) What are some of the themes that have played a prominent role in your life (ie. A struggle you’ve been unable to conquer, ect)?
I had a pretty bad experience in Elementary school, and since then, my academic performance has been somewhat spasmodic, which has lead to diminished confidence in my academic abilities. That has been hard for me, as my primary goals for the future are quite entwined with academia.
8) Answer only one of the following:
b)[Under college aged] What do you plan on studying/working as in the future? How did you go about deciding this? If this is not your ideal area of pursuit, what would be?
I'd like to double major in biology and psychology, as I am interested in both of those fields, and I'm especially interested in where they overlap, such as the study of general intelligence. Ideally, I'd like to do well enough to get into a PhD program, but I am unsure if that is realistic, due to the aforementioned reasons.
9) When meeting a new person, what do you tend to focus on?
Meeting a new person is usually at least somewhat awkward for me at first, but once I get past that initial awkwardness, I tend to focus on common interests, I enjoy discussing concepts which we're both interested in.
10) How do you feel about humanity as a whole? What do you feel are some of the biggest problems the human race faces and why?
I feel that one of the biggest problems is the seeming inability of many people to consider the long-term consequences of their actions. I feel like many people are willing to run the risk of potentially causing serious and large-scale, consequences to preserve their convenience, and to avoid having to adopt different habits, like with climate change.
11) What are some of your hobbies and interests?
As I mentioned earlier, I am interested in biology and psychology. I have also started a lot of hobby projects, but I have failed to finish many of them. A few years ago, I planned and built a 1,500 gallon outdoor fish pond and filtration system, but it took me a long time to finish it.
13) How do you usually “hang out†with your friend(s)? When answering, think about what activities you tend to choose, whether you hang out with one person at once or many, whether or not you initiate the interaction.
I rarely hang out with friends in real life, but when I do, I prefer to do so individually, or in small groups, as I find spending time in large groups to be draining.
14) What is more important, actions or words? Why?
Both? I'm not sure if I can say which is more important to me, but the congruence between one's words and actions is probably most important to me. As I said earlier, I really dislike it when people are unreliable.
15) Oh dear, you’ve been cursed by a witch! It’s ok though, you get a choice on which curse you will receive. Will you choose….
a) To never be able to experience the sensation of taste
b) To be immortal
c) To lose your memories
d) To be poor for the rest of your life
e) Or to never experience passion
Elaborate on why!
Probably to never experience the sensation of taste. Eating is one of those "real world" things that while essential, tends to be a hassle for me. I often forget to eat, and fail to eat enough. I buy powdered nutrition shakes, as they are easy to prepare and consume.
16) What do you hope to avoid being? If it helps, describe a person who embodies what you avoid/you as a villain, ect.
I hope to avoid becoming someone who ends up old without having fully pursued their true interests, consequently leading to great regret.
17) How do you relate to obsession? Do you tend to "merge" with others or your interests? How do you feel about the idea of doing this?
I relate to that, I think I can sometimes become quite absorbed into my interests, and that is often when I am the most productive.
18) Organized or messy? Plans and blueprints or impulse and surprises? What are you preferences and tendencies?
My workspace is quite messy, but when I am working on projects that I am interested in, I tend to put a lot of effort into planning things out, and doing things properly. I am quite perfectionistic in that regard.
19) How do you subjectively view comfort and how do you create comfort in your life and surroundings?
I largely view comfort as the ability to get enough sleep, to be able to pursue interests, and to be able to communicate with close friends. I have been diagnosed with delayed sleep phase syndrome, so I will often sleep during the day.
These are the functions I got on the Jungian test on this site:
sakinorva.net also had the NEO-PI-R, which is a big 5 test, so I took it and obtained these results:
