Title says it all. Do respond. I would appreciate it.
Tests generally type me as INTJ, INFJ and INTP in terms of preference, but upon reading up on Ni and Te, I realised that I seem to confuse that with Ti and Ne. As such, I would require opinions on my possible type... and if possible, an explanation.. I do not know how much information is needed. Ask and I will share.
1) What aspect of your personality made you unsure of your type?
The lack of a life purpose. Most INJ descriptions tend to describe the kind that has an ultimate goal in life etc, the one with the vision, the strategic planner. I would consider myself a strategic planner, but I do not have an ultimate goal in life, I have multiple goals in multiple areas. Ultimately I just wish to pursue the things that interest me and I find beneficial to those other than myself.
2) What do you yearn for in life? Why?
Confidence and some ONE I can be open with, just one.
I used to have identity issues, but I decided to focus on everything beyond myself and let ideas define me. The confidence I require would somewhat enable me to go ' out there ' and expose my ideas, concepts freely, instead of just keeping them to myself. I don't care about feeling normal, but I do not wish to be completely erased from society, yet.
3) Think about a time where you felt like you were at your finest. Tell us what made you feel that way.
I guess you could say I was much more balanced emotionally. I am a 5w4 btw, and I relate to the type 5 descriptions, then 4, followed by 8.
I was a lot more determined, focused and well, everything I'm currently lacking, was once mine.
I was a bit more compassionate and open minded though.
4) What makes you feel inferior?
Being told my ideas and skills were useless, though I don't give up on them, I just give up on explaining them to others. Being around people. Being forced to do what I hate. Being controlled, used, disrespected. I deal with these by isolating myself and well, the less I have, the less I can give, and the number of rules, and wants being imposed on me would decrease.
5) What tends to weigh on your decisions? (Do you think about people, pro-cons, how you feel about it, etc.)
Pro - cons. The most logical long term solution. I only consider those close to myself, which as of now is just myself. If it makes sense, then I lighten up and let my feelings in a bit, and that will ultimately strengthen and ignite determination of some sort or leave me completely cold while convincing myself of it.
6) When working on a project what is normally your emphasis? Do you like to have control of the outcome?
Yes. The end result is important to me. I am rather closed off to my ideas though. I only follow through, if it is something I created in my mind. If its someone else's I tend to do the absolute minimum. I will have trouble in the working world if I don't plan out my future right. Result and Concept first. Meaning later.
7) Describe a time where you had a lot of fun. How is your memory of it?
Can't recall.
8) When you want to learn something new, what feels more natural for you?
Closing everything off. I would say my thoughts are fuelled by... idk feelings? something greater than what I have control over. I would go into hermit mode and plan out my learning process. Do up a chart or something and then work on it, towards the knowledge and skill set I seek. However, I only learn something when I have an ulterior goal in mind for that sector. I don't just learn it for the sake of learning it, but more so because it would benefit me in whatever it is i have in mind, that would require that skill.
9) How organized do you think of yourself as?
Organised when working on projects, goals, charts, lists, but I tend to miss out the small stuff like cleanliness. I can literally go on for days while working on a project without thinking about eating and everything else simple. Sometimes bodily needs can be a burden.
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 look for evidence first. If there is info supporting it, then I look at the principles to try and break it down.
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?
Harmony isn't of much importance to me. Its beyond my control. I just go with myself. Others can do what they feel they must to preserve whatever it is they want to, but I will play no part in it.
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?
Think before speaking. Sometimes I'm, a day late when it comes to having conversations. Responding a day later on an already closed topic. One to one.
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?
Every once in a while i force myself to jump first. Somedays I just wish I could surrender completely to life as I don't feel as if I'm able to experience it first-hand. By default I plan, which would mean knowing what exactly I'm getting into before taking a step forward. Words are equally important, as long as they represent action, otherwise, generally, words are meaningless.
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?
Depends who my friends are. I only have like one close friend, but he isn't the kind who would go out much. He's 9w1. If other acquaintances ask me, I would just tell them I'm not interested, that way they won't bug me again about this. If I do go out, I go alone, just to feel the rush from it.
15) How do you act when you're stressed out?
Ridiculously intense. Consciously detached, I tend to take risks, and do things I wouldn't do normally, crazy things, isolated from others, so only I know. Then I just get this really dry muddy feeling of apathy and emptiness, which I solve by buying multiple philosophical books and reading them at a slower rate the buying.
16) What makes you dislike the personalities of some people?
Unnecessary reactions. Materialism and cowardice, such as hypocrisy.
17) Is there anything you really like talking about with other people?
Not many people around me like the things I like or know about them. My attempts to reach out have failed continuously so, I decided to just keep to myself.
18) What kind of things do you pay the least attention to in your life?
My physical body, the small things. I tend to be strategic about how I would go by doing what I want to, but at the same time, unaware of where I'm going in the real world, half-developed. People give me shit due to that.
19) How do your friends perceive you? What is wrong about their perception? ? What would your friends never say about your personality ?
I have no clue. I don't care enough to figure that out.
20) You got a whole day to do whatever you like. What kind of activities do you feel like doing?
Probably brushing up my skills and learning, philosophy, music projects, painting, gaming, etc. I don't like going out. I found out I had slight anxiety attacks when out in public after like idk, 6 years. I had no clue, thats how detached from my body I am when I go out.
