It's been a moment since the last time I have been typed and the previous year has changed me drastically so I'm curious.
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 a teenager in high school. I was born in Russia, however, my family immigrated to the U.S. when I was very young. Despite being raised in the U.S., I don't always feel like I fit in with the people around me culture-wise since I grew up with the Russian language and traditions at home. I don't have any impairments or strong political beliefs that may affect the way I answer this questionnaire. Unless perfectionism is considered one
b) Which types are you currently considering? Why are you considering them and why haven’t you decided on one?
Enneagram 1w9 or something like 539/359/935/953 tritype
I'm questioning everything else
2) What do you deem as your purpose in life?
Compete/win things, be successful career-wise, and obtain complete knowledge of many topics. Also, fight for what I deem to be right.
3) Of the seven deadly sins, which one(s) do you relate to the most and the least and why?
I unfortunately relate to Envy the most. As much as I try to focus on myself, I often end up envying someone - specifically for their skills/intelligence. Of course, at the end of the day, I know that my only competition is myself.
4) Analyzing your relationships with others, briefly describe:
a) The type of people you are drawn to
The typical "quiet people". Those who keep quiet but have many hobbies and interests.
b) The type of people who are drawn to you
I mainly attract quiet people. I'm very sociable when it comes to talking with quieter people and often make them open up. It's completely a contradicting scenario when I'm with people more talkative than me (I have trouble talking for some reason).
c) The type of people you are repulsed by
People who can't stop talking and won't let me talk. Loud people.
5)What are the traits in others that you admire but you cannot emulate yourself? Elaborate.
Maintaining relationships with people. I don't have an issue with conversation or hanging out but I often find myself neglecting messages and calls, finding it all draining.
6) Describe your relationship with the following:
a) Anger
I internalize it almost completely unless it's necessary. Express it through words but never physically or very dramatically.
b) Shame
Not sure. I don't have any.
c) Fear
Mixed thoughts.
d) Love/passion
Neutral, and I also think it's a little overrated in today's society. I sort of crave it but also it's super unnecessary at my age and honestly I'd rather not get involved in anything.
e) Conflict
I avoid it. I know, e9-core-like, but it isn't because I'm scared of conflict, I just find quarrels energy-consuming and annoying when they're preventable in the first place. I hate drama and gossip or whatever.
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, etc)?
I've always struggled with comparison among the people in my life. I've been comparing myself to classmates and friends for as long as I can remember and I feel as though I'm unable to conquer it.
8) Answer only one of the following:
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?
I'm heavily passionate about neuroscience and mathematics - I'm likely going to get into biomedical engineering due to the more affordable education and job opportunities. And I'll probably end up getting a minor in music as a backup.
9) When meeting a new person, what do you tend to focus on?
I tend to focus on their facial expressions and way of speaking/forming sentences/the words they choose to use. It all says a lot about a person. Also, body language.
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?
The biggest problem facing the human race is the number of severe problems happening all at once.
11) What are some of your hobbies and interests?
Typology, listening to a lot of music, reading stuff from the Romantic Period, playing instruments (piano, cello, bass/elec/and acoustic guitar), running.
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.
My acquaintance-like friends and I usually hang out somewhere in public - like a cafe or a store. However, I usually don't approve of the place chosen. With my close friend, I hang out at my school music wing. We usually eat lunch and play duets there.
14) What is more important, actions or words? Why?
Both because they don't work without each other. They're wired together.
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!
a) a physical sensation like taste is not as important to me as the others.
16) What do you hope to avoid being? If it helps, describe a person who embodies what you avoid/you as a villain, ect.
I avoid being someone who doesn't care about anything, tries to be like everyone else, doesn't try, is objectively dumb, has no interests or hobbies, and fills their brain up with junk.
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 choose an interest and I stick with it for a long time. I would go far enough to call it an obsession though.
As a little kid, I literally tried every single hobby and sport on the face of this earth, constantly signing up for something then leaving after giving it a try and not liking it. But now that I'm older, the things I was truly passionate about stuck with me.
18) Organized or messy? Plans and blueprints or impulse and surprises? What are you preferences and tendencies?
Both, leaning towards organized. It really depends on my stress level.
19) How do you subjectively view comfort and how do you create comfort in your life and surroundings?
I don't really pay attention to my comfort level in different surroundings. I'm probably most comfortable in my room because it's my own personal space. Also, I strongly prefer dark settings. I abhor brightness in rooms or just anywhere in general. It gives me a headache. Someone asked me about this on my previous questionnaire and I was surprised that such a shallow-seeming question could signify anything important.
