I need some help typing a long time friend who is dealing with some existential issues. I think the MBTI might help him find his place especially if the type profile resonates with him.
I think he may be some sort of INxx but I’m not sure. Please don’t let my bias change your thoughts. Here is some information. Your input is appreciated, thank you.
- he is deep and complex, has trouble slowing his mind and thinks a lot
- has a faculty with language especially written
- enjoys writing songs and poetry
- athletic but doesn’t enjoy team sports, prefers to try multiple sports instead of completely mastering one
- sometimes says insightful things that come out of left field
- scored in the 95 percentile on the critical thinking/reading section of the SAT: may point towards thinking style (maybe an NT?)
- likes philosophy and often reads
- enjoys time spent alone but always has time for others
- acts differently at school contrasted with around friends
- can seem cold and distant but is cheerful and amiable when talked to
- is modest but confident with presenting ideas or subjects known to him
- keeps people at a distance until they earn his trust
- is a good student, conscientious
- drives a motorcycle, not overly concerned for his safety
- became an organ donor as a morbid joke as soon as he got his license
- does not like to be singled out
- well liked and popular but this is not of much concern to him
- enjoys attention from the opposite sex unless they become clingy
- immediately liked by all his female teachers → charming
- men seem slower to trust him and guys his own age can be suspicious
- can be intimidating (was told he was sometimes frightening by a teacher)
- the teacher above said something like this to him: “Sometimes you frighten me. You know how to play the psychological game and you can play hardball.â€
- Is insightful and great at reading people, can read body language and knows their motives at least most of the time
- sometimes puts up a front to hide his sensitivity
- people sometimes confide in him because he will listen
- enjoys debates about ideas but shies away as soon as it gets personal
- is a fan of Kurt Vonnegut, likes Zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintenance
- easily understands theories, gets bored with routine classroom learning (daydreams)
- is distrustful of big corporations, has a soft spot for the underdog/disenfranchised
Hope this helps. Feel free to ask more questions if you need more information.
