1)What aspect of your personality made you unsure of your type?
I unfortunately can see myself as many different types depending on the material I come across. I can’t settle on a type because I relate simultaneously too much and too little with them.

2) What do you yearn for in life? Why?
I wanna be happy and know the truth about the world, myself included.

3) a) What activities energize you most? b) What activities drain you most? Why?
A) What energize me the mot is researching things online. I actually have a plethora of interests so it doesn't bother me, problem is, I just can't seem to be productive. I'll read or watch something and midway I'll be reminded of something else, or see something be referenced in it that I don't know much about or haven't seen in awhile, so I'll open a tab to research it...infinitely. I'm like Alice falling down the rabbit hole, except I never land.

Soon three hours will have passed and I'll have 40 tabs open (no exaggeration), but won't have finished reading/watching what I was doing in the first place. Then I'll put in Pocket to read it later, or download it in case of it being a video/podcast. I have a folder named "NEW" in my computer, it's HUGE, the oldest stuff in there is six months old and it keeps on growing, because as soon as I watch three videos, I'll watch three more on Youtube and download others for later. I accidentally deleted my bookmarks folder once and I was actually reviled, because it was stuffed with stuff I'd never have time to see. Ditto when my last computed died on me, I was happy to buy a new one and start anew but surprise, surprise, the cycle started again.
It happened earlier today. I was researching Chinese traditional music when I saw a TED talk in the related videos so I opened it on another tab, but 5 minutes into it the guy mentioned the Five Taoist Elements. So I went and took a couple assessments and got Fire in all, that led me into reading about Avatar's Fire Nation, which led me into the philosophical take on the elements through the ages. Then it was time for lunch, and I had completely forgotten about Chinese traditional music, until my trainer asked me about it.
I’m also highly interested in spirituality and conspiracy theories. Thing like the Illuminatti, dark Hollywood, MK Ultra, aliens, flat Earth etc.

4) What makes you feel inferior?
When I’m bad/incompetent at something, specially if watched by others while doing it.

5) What tends to weigh on your decisions? (Do you think about people, pro-cons, how you feel about it, etc.)
I think about pros and cons, what will I gain and lose from it, what’s most convenient and comfortable.

6) When working on a project what is normally your emphasis? Do you like to have control of the outcome?
I generally know what’s necessary to get done and will ask for help or consell if needed. I want to get the best results possible and wanna see my vision come to life.

7) Describe us a time where you had a lot of fun. How is your memory of it?*

It’s hard to pick one moment because I have fun basically everyday, even when it’s raining and I’m home alone. I’m very good in keeping myself entertained and very seldom feel bored.

But I guess a recurring memory it’s when I lost my ID at 17and had to make a new one. Me and m mom had to wake up at 3 a.m. and wait in line outside until around 8 to get in the documentation office. It was our third try and we were very tired and hungry, but somehow we found ourselves making up tacky food delivery service companies to attend people in our situation. We were pissing ourselves laughing and the rest were all staring at us, but we couldn't stop.

8) When you want to learn something new, what feels more natural for you? (Are you more prone to be hands on, to theorize, to memorize, etc)
I learn best through reading, lectures and demonstrations. I’m more theoretical as I need to understand something before physically engaging with it.

9) How organized do you to think of yourself as?
My mind is much more organized than my surroundings. I’m physically really messy.

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 judge ideas based on how much sense they make and whether they are feasible. I try to get a lot of info on it and unerstand how does things work.

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 care a lot about being socially appropriate, polite, knowing when to bite my tongue and keep things to myself. But I won’t lie about my opinions or follow the heard.

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 speak while I think, I like group discussions a bit more than one-one-one because getting more feedback is fun.

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 run simulations in my head before things happen, I definitely need to know what I’m getting 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?

Unless I’m too tired I’ll go out with my friends, I can watch the episode at a later time.

15) How do you act when you're stressed out?

I become quiet, snappy and usually catastrophize, specially thinking any small physical pain is a sign of a fatal disease. I have a hypochondriac streak.

16) What makes you dislike the personalities of some people?

Disrespect, arrogance, dishonesty, stupidity.

17) Is there anything you really like talking about with other people?

What I think it’s actually happening behind the scenes, my opinions and theories.

18) What kind of things do pay the least attention to in your life?
House chores, productivity.

19) You got a whole day to do whatever you like. What kind of activities do you feel like doing?
I’d surf through social media looking for news on my favorite subjects, would get something yummy to eat, watch video essays on Youtube.

When you are really upset, how do you act?

How do you break out of a rut? What do you do to relax?

Upset as in angry: I usually snap at the person aggressively and then go away.
Upset as in hurt/sad: I withdraw.
I try to learn something new. I relax by engaging with materials on my favorite subjects, like typology.

Do you have a sense of duty or obligation? Does it help you relax when you do things out of duty?

Do you like puzzles? Games? If you like games, what types interest you most? When you need to just relax, what is your go to activity?
