The main problem (not much of a problem since it makes me think even more) I have is figuring out my own type, go figure.
The first test I took, albeit not very detailed, classified me as an ISTP.
I was then referred to the mypersonality.info test, where I
was classified as an INTP. I have retook the test since then answering some questions that I was on the fence about oppositely, and still came out INTP. Here are my results:
Personality Profile of _Violence_ (Personality Type, Multiple Intelligences)
My hobbies include a crazy amount of stuff from reading
sci-fi and fantasy novels, researching
theology, philosophy,
history, sociology, anthropology. I love
studying logic but I am not so deep with mathematics because I find it
boring to be honest and do not pursue it at all. Maybe this is strange for NT types; I don't know.
My biggest passions are
martial arts training a
nd theory,
hoplology (study of human combatives), as well as actually
fighting in sparring or competition.
I am good at music, I been playing piano for the past 11 years. People tell me I can should go to music school but
I have zero interest in making it a career. Also obsessed with cars, motorcycles, and a lot of mechanical things. I had a 350Z that was modified beyond hell, I had lots a lot of money on it and I think it's my underdeveloped Fe screwing me over when I was 18-years-old.
I value intellect above all else, and most people I know say I can be extremely cold, arrogant, and seemingly uncaring/apathetic. I hold myself to high standards and others to low ones. I hate being dependent on anyone and am highly individualistic. Furthermore I consider myself extremely adventurous, for example I love getting lost, there is no food I won't try, I like driving crazy fast in cars and motorcycles, racing, fighting/competing, etc. I can be extremely spontaneous and random with what I want and activities I am pursuing. From my research most of these seem to be ISTP oriented.
Other traits I have include my
obsession with analyzing and observing EVERYTHING, especially organic interactions, whether it be socio-economic, naturalistic, or anything else.
I think organic interactions, such as watching two teams play a computer or sports game against each other, are more interesting than mechanical ones (how an engine works), but I AM intrigued by both.
Going to a restaurant or a mall, I can satisfy myself with sitting in a corner watching people walk by and trying to figure out as much as possible at everybody that walks past me.
The things that confuse myself are how
seemingly unfocused I can be on subjects I find uninteresting, my ability to procrastinate schoolwork indefinitely (doing everything last minute), my absent-mindedness when I'm suppose to be doing ACTUAL work, where I just start daydreaming or have
random abstract thoughts that make no sense. I've been told that
procrastination shows I am more INTP in that regard (NOT TRUE, imo). And then, I like things which have nothing to do with logic and appeal to me on an emotional basis, such as
literature, especially POETRY. And even
psueo-religious texts such as the Tao Te Ching, which I analyze and try to apply to my daily life. I find it helpful as
abstract concepts which I can interpret
to benefit practical, everyday affairs.
People seem to go to me for when they have some sort of problem to deal with.
Looking at things objectively and without emotional attachment is fun for me, or perhaps addictive. I look for the solution, I don't try to comfort people. Apparently this can be both an ST and NT behavior? Oh and I am both atheist and existential nihilist.
Came to those conclusions through years of abstract thinking ever since I got sick of going to Church and trying to rationalize the "meaning" of existence. Maybe there is no meaning.
I do apologize for the extremely long post. But now you know I like going into extreme detail about everything too... hmmm
