My Type: Your Opinion Appreciated!

[stainedglass]

1. During your youth (7'ish to 18), What did you focus on the most? What activities did you like and why? What aspect of life was lax in attention?

I liked supernatural things, like ghost stories. I was constantly having seances and going ghost hunting and bugging people about anything unusual that's ever happened to them. I was interested in religions, cultures, antiques. I liked reading, mainly fantasy, writing, collecting things, and pretending like I was a fairy princess.

2. You're in you senior year of high school (or whatever equivalent) and you are looking back over the last couple of years. What was your favorite aspect of the schooling experience and why? Favorite subject and why?

Being around people, getting to know them. Drama was a favorite. It was more flexible and my friends and I had quite a lot of fun goofing off in it. I also liked Literature because we could analyze works, and history, for learning of the past.

3. A couple of friends call and invite you out to a restaurant. While there, you all are pleasantly conversing and one of your friends makes a comment that irked you. What are you're thoughts and how do you respond?

I might act like I ignored it and continue on, or at least act like it didn't bother me, but internally it will bother me and it will probably start rotating around over and over in my head while I try to figure out exactly why they said that and try to reason with myself why I shouldn't let it bother me. It might affect my mood. I'll try to get over it.

4. Your schooling is done and it's time to strike out into the world!! What sort of career do you want to go into and why?

Anthropology or Archaeology, because I like learning about different cultures. Or Literature because I like experiencing different lives, in different places, at different times, and analyzing them. Or sociology. Because I like sitting back and watching how it all works.

5. A friend is getting married and they put you in charge of the cake. You narrowed it down to two places to make an order. The first is a bakery with whom you got a good relationship with. The other is a well-known cake maker to whom everyone goes to (your friend hints to it as well). Which one do you choose and why?

Whichever one makes the best cake at the lowest price.

6. You get into an argument with a friend/family member/co-worker. They criticize one of your personality traits. What would most likely be the focus of their critique?

Probably that I'm inconsistent.

7. It's New Years! You and your friends are out and about after a party. Being drunk, one of your friends suggests to do something....'questionable' (Nothing serious. I.e, drugs, escort, etc.). What are your thoughts and how do you respond?

It depends. I might be up for it after I've thought it through.

8. A new art gallery opens up and your friend wants to go to the grand opening. Both of you analyze all the paintings and sculptures. What about these works warrants the most attention from you? Why?

I don't know. I just go with it. I feel a certain pull toward certain things. I might focus on what the 'it' thing of the moment is, what started it, what does it resemble compared to other art, but I'll probably give everything a glance.

9. You have been saving up and decide to buy a new car. At the dealership, you peruse the lots. What are the criteria and factors that influence your choice? Which one would initially be your main focus?

Whichever one captures my attention. I will think, "This is it!". It has to be me.

10. Yep, you now have a kid (sex of your choosing)! Years pass and they are now 15 years old. You notice their personality traits are the complete opposite of how you were when at their age. Describe how they are. Describe the possible conflicts that would arise between both of you due to differing temperaments.

Gregarious, enthusiastic, charismatic, athletic, loud, hyper, compulsive, confrontational...

I don't know. I pretty much get along with everyone, to be honest. If we had problems, I'd have a heart to heart until we reached some sort of understanding.

It's not always easy to tell from these questionnaires, but my gut is telling me ISFJ, maybeee.. INTP?

The cognitive functions I see in you are Si-Ne and Ti-Fe.

ENTP and ESFJ also have the same functions, but those don't seem least likely to me of the four possibilities.

You're Si appears very dominate, but in the same turn, your Ti seems to be more dominate than your Fe- making ISFJ not as likely.

That's why I'm having a hard time deciding what order your functions are in.

What did you get when you took the test?

Also, if you disagree with my assumptions please let me know why. I'm still relatively new to typing others so bare with me lol.

Thanks for your reply!

I usually get INFP or INFJ on tests, but I don't consider them very reliable.

Why do you think Si seems more dominant, if you don't mind?

Because your interests are subjects with traditions and intriguing pasts. Like religion, culture, history. In question 2 you mentioned liking to learn from the past.

I contemplated if you were an N or S. But I decided on S because of question number 8. So I can see where you got INFJ.

Si and Ni (based on my research) are similar as dominant functions because they take information based on what they know to make decisions, but the difference is Ni is more abstract and they have a knowingness when they make their decision, and Si is more like previous information that you've personally been known to be true.

I'm looking from a Socionics perspective and I firmly disagree: if anything question 8 implies strong intuition.

It's a recognition of the processes of how something came to be; yes, I think it is valuing Si but not centred on it. The reaction of a strong Si-type will be based more around the direct impact on them and the impression it brings. This is much more about how it came to be: the dealings of how things change over time is intuition, which seems to be the primary perception of the OP.

I am slightly more inclined to think Ne-Ti. I got a slight Ne-lead vibe when I read this: mainly because of the amount of things that have been listed. But Ti-Ne is quite possible. I think one of those two is your functional stack.

I'm not familiar with socionics and I'm still new to typing others. I even mentioned that when I gave my initial thoughts. So I am glad to see that someone else agrees with the same cognitive functions I found in stainedglass; even if it is a different stacking.

Thanks! I'm not very familiar with MBTI Si. I'll have to refresh my memory. I've been into socionics for about 3 years and came here for some fresh perspectives. I believe Si between the two systems seems to be the most different out of the functions...

Thanks for your response! Why do you think Ti>Fi?l, if you don't mind?
I was typing myself as EII for a long time, but some things didn't quite add up, like I seem more IP, and am not really very judge-y, which made me wonder if I was really a rational Fi type after all. I was considering IEI lately, which would make Ti my Hidden agenda, but you think Ne seems more likely than Ni?

IEE is a possibility, I'd say. I actually do see hints of Fi with a second read. I don't think you're a sensor though; possibly I'm observing intuition > sensing first because you don't have a Sensing PoLR.

I also see Ne and a strong Si... maybe INFP?

Agreed: I'm seeing ISFJ.

ISFJ rather than other alpha quadra types because: starts with Si, then next question is Fe, then Ti, then Ne.
