1) What aspect of your personality made you unsure of your type?
I was questioning the knowledge I have on the cognitive functions and going over some things, and whilst doing so, I felt like going around looking at some INTPs with blogs on tumblr and basically see how legit or even relatable they are. Eventually I started questioning my type and started asking myself whether I really ever had a Fe grip, and why or how I've never been in a Ti-Si loop as an 'INTP' in her 20''s. The tertiary function develops in the 20's too, and I was thinking mine was weak despite keys2cog kept on giving me pretty average Si. I felt like I was missing something, eventually I messaged an INTP to see what I could learn from him and whether he'd say that there was something wrong with my Si or Fe and I had a feeling he would.
This INTP read a lot of books, has been in the mbti community for 3 years and is confirmed INTP by other people who're also very well versed with the cognitive functions. He basically told me he sees no Fe in me or Ti. At first he said I was INFP and not INTP, then he picked INFJ and finally INTJ when he noticed I was talking to him like all the Te people (Te doms and aux) in his family? He started pointing out Ni>Te stuff, said I communicate and joke around with Te and thinks I'm in a Ni-Fi loop is why the ENTJs I know don't see my Te. The community he hangs around with is mostly filled with strong Ne-users, so that's what got me a little more uneasy about him saying I am not an xNTP or even a good Se user. He said he's 100% convinced I'm an INTJ at that point and that I talk and express myself like every INTJ he has known.
Also messaged an ISTJ and asked her for her opinion, since she knows a good bit about MBTI and happens to be a Te aux user too. She said and I quote, "You certainly write like someone with Te. I don't know how to describe it, but..direct, with evidences using common sense for arguments instead of intricate logic that only builds on itself."
INTJs are so rare and frequently mistyped online? I'm really lost here, cause I know that most self-typed INTJs that I've seen are not really relateable. Really stuck in a rut here and I don't want to type myself as an INTJ and then later end up being wrong, cause overconfident faux INTJs really annoy me personally.
2) What do you yearn for in life? Why?
I had a very rough childhood, grew up in a third world country with a very emotionally and mentally abusive family. I've been told that I'm doing things to hurt myself, that the type of knowledge I have isn't substantial stuff for 'the real world' and that if I don't completely change, I'll end up being unsuccessful. Hence why I very much so want success and major achievement in life.
I want to be able to prove the toxic people in my life wrong, be proud, be complacent, responsible earn a lot by working in the genetic engineering field and living my life abroad, be able to use my money wisely, fund researches and projects according to my taste, volunteer, donate and open up libraries in my home town cause there barely are any and none of them are open more than 6-7 hours.
3) Think about a time where you felt like you were at your finest. Tell us what made you feel that way.
When I was able to read people, and be correct. Also when people were applauding me for my intelligence when I hadn't even invested myself into something too deeply.
4) What makes you feel inferior?
When people are more often correct compared to me, more accomplished and get things done when they say they haven't really invested much time in prepping for getting the thing done.
5) What tends to weigh on your decisions? (Do you think about people, pro-cons, how you feel about it, etc.)
Well, facts and evidence? Repeated patterns? People who've researched something or been involved with something for a while and are very familiar with the subject tend to have a good bit of influence in my decision making abilities.
6) When working on a project what is normally your emphasis? Do you like to have control of the outcome?
If I agree with the outcome then I wouldn't mind not being in charge. However if this outcome affects me in a serious way and I don't agree with it i'd much rather be in charge.
7) Describe a time where you had a lot of fun. How is your memory of it?
It's not exactly hard for me to have fun. Fun memories and lots of laughter is like an addiction to me, mostly because I grew up with an abusive family. Lots of fun activities are like medication to me really. One of my recent fun memory would be laughing my ass off with a friend for tricking a pseudo intellectual, goofing off and being absolutely ridiculous with my best friend.
8) When you want to learn something new, what feels more natural for you?
I can just learn easier when everything is in front of me. I'm a visual and auditory learner. When I'm learning things, I tend to surround or immerse myself into the material that I'm learning. I look crazy to my ESFJ mother and she gets really bothered by the fact that I don't learn things by the traditional reading+writing.
9) How organized do you think of yourself as?
I have my own system really. If I'm left alone and no ones pushing me to do things their way or a way I don't agree with, I'll end up being organized and satisfied.
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?
Both? I look for information or facts that support the new idea and that's how I understand the principles behind it and see whether it makes sense or not? IT won't make sense to me if there's no evidence at all that'll support the new idea.
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?
Ehh, tough one? I long to belong to a given group, but I understand that it can't always be the case and I can't change myself to force myself into belonging to a given group I'll frequently disagree with. So, I end up mostly being open-minded, looking for facts or evidence to help me know what I believe and then I 'be myself'.
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 think before speaking near people I am not very close with. But, I feel like with people who're more like family, I end up speaking before thinking. Or with close friends too, I guess.
I prefer one on one communication because it gives me and the person in front of me more opportunities to speak. I have always wanted to engage in group activities and still try to, but I just don't end up doing it and am always doing stuff one-on-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?
I like to know where I'm jumping now as an adult. I think as a kid, I wasn't like that.
Actions definitely speak much more louder than words.
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?
I really don't have that many friends, and I only consider 'close friends' to be true friends. The rest are all acquaintances that I might publicly refer to as 'friends' when they're really not lol. If I can somehow record my favourite show or know that I can watch it easily later, I'll go out with the friends. Hell, might even go out with acquaintances if I think I'm more active on the night and not feeling too lazy to dress up a bit.
15) How do you act when you're stressed out?
Generally distant from most people, want alone time so I can think things through and brainstorm both long-term and short-term solutions so I can stop being stressed. But, if I can't stop interacting with people, I tend to easily sound aggressive, rude or am basically sensitive. I mostly try to distract myself with funny videos or good shows and movies.
16) What makes you dislike the personalities of some people?
People who are too ego-istic, judge things easily with very little information, bias, hypocrisy and those who're so cocky, that they can't admit they've messed up something and will still insist on not changing their method when it's failed more than once. Dumb people who can't be objective or logical just bother me a lot? Like, EVEN WITH EVIDENCE THAT'S PRESENT, HOW DO YOU STILL NOT WANT TO CHANGE YOUR OPINION!?
17) Is there anything you really like talking about with other people?
Yeah, sure. Depends on mutual interests or things we're both somehow involved in or with. Also depends on what impression the person gives me and what they don't mind talking about. I initially start out being more on the formal side and then slowly start taking things to a more playful level, basically test out the waters. I still don't end up talking to that many people about that much stuff though -le sigh- I guess I'm picky?
18) What kind of things do you pay the least attention to in your life?
Cultural stuff and traditional things that people want to keep up with too much? Also, I pay very little attention in trying to befriend everyone or even respecting everyone for almost everything.
19) How do your friends perceive you? What is wrong about their perception? What would your friends never say about your personality ?
Ugh, it's so weird. My oldest friend saw me as an extrovert for 5 years straight, and just recently I was whining and asking her what planet she was living in for all those years. Same friend saw me as very crazy, hyper and playful. Her ex who has been friends with me for 2-3 years but knows me more clearer than her thinks I'm calm, hardworking, dependable, responsible and introverted, but still energetic. People much closer think I'm intelligent, brilliant (not my words, I swear), quirky, unique, curious, insightful, warm, objective and innovative.
A lot of people think I'm hardworking but I don't think I've done anything to be proud of yet :/ I don't have any amazing achievement on paper, so yeah that's why I personally don't see myself as hardworking enough. I'm scared to say I'm dependable or reliable because that means people can rely and depend on me, and I think I've been such a mess, that it's not fair to call me something like that yet.
None of friends would call me illogical, easily biased, unintelligent, cold (thought a lot of my exes or new people call me cold lmao), timid, shy, relaxed or social.
20) You got a whole day to do whatever you like. What kind of activities do you feel like doing?
Oh damn. I always have something to do and I'm interested in a lot of things. If I have been very anxious recently or too neurotic, I'll try to watch a show or movie to relax. Afterwards, try to get some more personal work done? Look into something that I'm interested in, learn something new, try to refine some foreign language skills, maybe do some dance practice or singing practice or go for a walk or roller-blade? Go outside?
It always depends on my mood and day, but most likely I'll be looking stuff up or get myself involved or be observing some debate or discourse online? I'm honestly never bored, I always have things to do and the day will end just like that.
