Questions from @RadicalDoubt
Context
a) What is your age range and general location (Country so that cultural values can be taken into account)? Do you have any impairments that may affect the way that you answer this questionnaire? Any religious or political beliefs (or anything else along those lines) that also might have an effect? I'm 26 and live in America. My pronouns are she/her and he/ him. I have PTSD, BPD, and Autism. I'm very spiritual and religious. I'm more on the liberal democratic side.
b) Which types are you currently considering? Why are you considering them and why haven’t you decided on one? I've always thought I'm either INFP or ISFP. But I could be any FP or any type really.
2) What do you deem as your purpose in life? To show unconditional love, to be kind, to learn, grow.
3) Of the seven deadly sins, which one(s) do you relate to the most and the least and why? Sloth because I can have low energy sometimes.
4) Analyzing your relationships with others, briefly describe:
a) The type of people you are drawn to
Intelligent, usually more reserved or serious. Funny too
b) The type of people who are drawn to you
Serious or people who like to take advantage.
c) The type of people you are repulsed by
People who lack empathy and compassion.
5)What are the traits in others that you admire but you cannot emulate yourself? Elaborate.
people who are outspoken and assertive I really admire. They just don't seem to care what other think. I care too much. I'm always accommodating, or conflict averse (I'm sure everyone is though to a degree). But it's really important to me to not rock the boat. I wish I was more assertive and just spoke my mind.
6) Describe your relationship with the following:
a) Anger
I've spent my entire life fighting this one. I come from a very chaotic, angry, unpredictable family. So I used to villianize anger. It wasn't until therapy I learned it has it's place, and every emotion has two sides.
b) Shame
c) Fear
I've always been a very nervous on edge person due to my upbringing.
d) Love/passion
e) Conflict
Very conflict-aversed
7) What are some of the themes that have played a prominent role in your life (ie. A struggle you’ve been unable to conquer, ect)?
Feeling alone, feeling unlovable, unworthy unless achieving something (value only in status, money, etc)
8) Answer only one of the following:
a) [College aged and above] What is your area of work/study? Why did you choose this and would you change it? If so, what would be your ideal?
I'm a meditation teacher. I wanted something that can help people. I'm very passionate about spirituality, health, helping people through their emotio and traumas, but is also practical. And I think meditation has all that wrapped in one. It has health benefits, but it's practical, but you can also go deep. It's greatly impacted my life.
b)[Under college aged] What do you plan on studying/working as in the future? How did you go about deciding this? If this is not your ideal area of pursuit, what would be?
9) When meeting a new person, what do you tend to focus on?
Visually what they look like (I'm not judging, I'm just a very visual person). And what makes them tick. I want to know their interests, passions, hobbies. I love getting in someone's head and learning their perspective lol
10) How do you feel about humanity as a whole? What do you feel are some of the biggest problems the human race faces and why?
I have mixed feelings lol. I try to love everyone unconditionally, because I personally feel (by no means am I pushes my beliefs,to each their own) that God or the universe sees us that way, so I want to emulate that, because that's probably needed more than ever. There seem to be a lack of compassion that can be disheartening, but I think it comes from pain, so I don't take it personally.
11) What are some of your hobbies and interests? I'm a huge book-worm, always reading, meditating, listening to music, taking walks, diving into a topic I love.
13) How do you usually “hang out†with your friend(s)? When answering, think about what activities you tend to choose, whether you hang out with one person at once or many, whether or not you initiate the interaction. I don't usually initiate. Sometimes I prefer groups because I love to bounce off everyone. It's easier because I'm quiet. I do love being around people often, I just don't need to talk, unless it's a group. I prefer to do an activity with someone, but I'll do whatever they want of course. I can also be alone,and enjoy my alone time too.
14) What is more important, actions or words? Why? Words because words of affirmation is very important to me. I like to hear I'm appreciated or loved.
15) Oh dear, you’ve been cursed by a witch! It’s ok though, you get a choice on which curse you will receive. Will you choose….
a) To never be able to experience the sensation of taste
b) To be immortal
c) To lose your memories
d) To be poor for the rest of your life
e) Or to never experience passion
Elaborate on why!
Lololol
ok. I would choose c because then I wouldn't have trauma.
16) What do you hope to avoid being? If it helps, describe a person who embodies what you avoid/you as a villain, ect.
To become cold, not loving. Narrow-minded, judgemental.
17) How do you relate to obsession? Do you tend to "merge" with others or your interests? How do you feel about the idea of doing this?
I can have an obsessive personality lol. I definitely merge with those around me unless I think it doesn't make sense I question, even debate. Or I will be stubborn for what I believe in. Peop have always told me I'm stubborn. I feel like I'm full of paradoxes, because on the one hand I can be all about harmony and keeping the peace, on the other I can be stubborn and I won't do anything I think is wrong. But if you know anything about BPD, people with it can have what's called a 'favorite person' (can be any relation). So that makes it complicated too.
18) Organized or messy? Plans and blueprints or impulse and surprises? What are you preferences and tendencies?
Organized. I love to clean and keep things clean. I don't like to plan unless it's moving, but everything else in life I'm ok with living each and day and winging it. I love for today.
19) How do you subjectively view comfort and how do you create comfort in your life and surrounding
I love, love, love comfort. I feel like comfort and peace is elusive and something I've always been trying to find. I think that's why I started meditating. I realized through my practice, you can't count on the world or even other people for those things. I've learned that the hard way. You must find inner peace and comfort within. I know it's easier said then done, and hopefully can be that for others until it's easier to find it inside yourself.
Thanks for reading and I hope all who see this have a great day!
