Despite reading, I'm still uncertain. Any feedback is appreciated. I hesitated to just ask because I dislike the exposed feeling of putting personal information out publicly.
Some of the common descriptions of INTJ as having a death glare, others describing them as seeming cold and emotionless, common depictions of them as calculating and manipulative (world domination jokes), I don't relate to. I've tried reading about other types and the functions but it is somewhat overwhelming and nothing has clicked ("Aha, that's me!" moment) just yet.
Learning mostly. Always looking for mental stimulation and to sate curiosity.
During college. It gave me a reason not to isolate myself. Also received amazing feedback from a particular instructor I respected.
Not much, but I hated when people would ask me what I did for a living while I was disabled with depression/possible hormone imbalance during my teens and twenties.
What is most efficient and whether I have the means to realistically make that decision happen.
Making sure I knew all requirements and being prepared for any potential hiccups that might occur --> As thoroughly as possible gather all relevant information to the project, organizing it by where it needs to go in the final project --> Plug everything into place and review for errors/flaws. I never cared for working in groups being shy/introverted and because others aren't always dependable/competent.
A college excursion to the High Museum of Art for an impressionist exhibit. I loved seeing the paintings in person, seeing the textures, and thinking that at another point in time, the artist once stood before the same canvas. It was one of the rare occasions of experiencing something for myself rather than strictly reading about it.
I generally use multiple resources to approach the new subject from various angles. It takes advantage of differing styles of how the subject is presented, whether there is overall congruence in conclusions over time or divergent subtopics to explore.
Fairly organized but not to the point of "neat freak." Clutter is distracting and it helps to counter absent-mindedness.
I tend towards the former.
The latter.
Always think before speaking; often thinking without ever getting to speaking. One-on-one; even amongst family I know and love, I rarely talk in groups.
Plan before doing. Actions do speak louder than words. Case in point: politicians.
This would never happen. I don't watch tv or listen to the radio. Only friends I currently have are immediate family and two people via online gaming that I haven't met in person.
Withdraw.
Talk too much and/or about inane nonsense. Incompetence and laziness; if said person's failure gets in my way, I want to kill them.
Most can be ignored by avoiding people.
Politics, law/criminal justice, philosophy, history, technology, etc. Usually ENTP hubby is on board for it, but he didn't like it when I tried to discuss politics in "bed" recently.
Pop culture I think is the term for it. Also have to keep a personal log to remember if/when regarding self-care (water/meals/etc).
This one is hard as social interaction is fairly limited these days. One I've heard overwhelmingly over the years is "weird." Others would be "innocent", "silver tongued", and a mix of appreciating blunt honesty and "I can't believe you said that!" Without being able to compare to a sufficient number of people, I'm unable to say if they are right or wrong in those perceptions or what they would never say.
Dig around a bookstore, enjoy a drink or two while reading outdoors.
1) What aspect of your personality made you unsure of your type?
Some of the common descriptions of INTJ as having a death glare, others describing them as seeming cold and emotionless, common depictions of them as calculating and manipulative (world domination jokes), I don't relate to. I've tried reading about other types and the functions but it is somewhat overwhelming and nothing has clicked ("Aha, that's me!" moment) just yet.
2) What do you yearn for in life? Why?
Learning mostly. Always looking for mental stimulation and to sate curiosity.
3) Think about a time where you felt like you were at your finest. Tell us what made you feel that way.
During college. It gave me a reason not to isolate myself. Also received amazing feedback from a particular instructor I respected.
4) What makes you feel inferior?
Not much, but I hated when people would ask me what I did for a living while I was disabled with depression/possible hormone imbalance during my teens and twenties.
5) What tends to weigh on your decisions? (Do you think about people, pro-cons, how you feel about it, etc.)
What is most efficient and whether I have the means to realistically make that decision happen.
6) When working on a project what is normally your emphasis? Do you like to have control of the outcome?
Making sure I knew all requirements and being prepared for any potential hiccups that might occur --> As thoroughly as possible gather all relevant information to the project, organizing it by where it needs to go in the final project --> Plug everything into place and review for errors/flaws. I never cared for working in groups being shy/introverted and because others aren't always dependable/competent.
7) Describe a time where you had a lot of fun. How is your memory of it?

8) When you want to learn something new, what feels more natural for you?
I generally use multiple resources to approach the new subject from various angles. It takes advantage of differing styles of how the subject is presented, whether there is overall congruence in conclusions over time or divergent subtopics to explore.
9) How organized do you think of yourself as?
Fairly organized but not to the point of "neat freak." Clutter is distracting and it helps to counter absent-mindedness.
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 tend towards the former.
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?
The latter.
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?
Always think before speaking; often thinking without ever getting to speaking. One-on-one; even amongst family I know and love, I rarely talk in groups.
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?
Plan before doing. Actions do speak louder than words. Case in point: politicians.
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?
This would never happen. I don't watch tv or listen to the radio. Only friends I currently have are immediate family and two people via online gaming that I haven't met in person.
15) How do you act when you're stressed out?
Withdraw.
16) What makes you dislike the personalities of some people?
Talk too much and/or about inane nonsense. Incompetence and laziness; if said person's failure gets in my way, I want to kill them.
Most can be ignored by avoiding people.
17) Is there anything you really like talking about with other people?
Politics, law/criminal justice, philosophy, history, technology, etc. Usually ENTP hubby is on board for it, but he didn't like it when I tried to discuss politics in "bed" recently.
18) What kind of things do you pay the least attention to in your life?
Pop culture I think is the term for it. Also have to keep a personal log to remember if/when regarding self-care (water/meals/etc).
19) How do your friends perceive you? What is wrong about their perception? ? What would your friends never say about your personality ?
This one is hard as social interaction is fairly limited these days. One I've heard overwhelmingly over the years is "weird." Others would be "innocent", "silver tongued", and a mix of appreciating blunt honesty and "I can't believe you said that!" Without being able to compare to a sufficient number of people, I'm unable to say if they are right or wrong in those perceptions or what they would never say.
20) You got a whole day to do whatever you like. What kind of activities do you feel like doing?
