Hey, guys. I'm not new to MBTI, but I'm trying to view myself in a new light because I've come to terms with the fact that I may have been mistyping myself for the past several years. I'm a much healthier, more mature person than I was before, and I'd like to see if perhaps I can now assess my type more accurately.
I decided to do this questionnaire because I've never seen it before and it seemed fun. I'm going to try to write more stream-of-conscious than how I would actually speak to another person, so it may seem a bit erratic or strange, but I figure that will give an accurate image of myself and what goes on in my head. Here goes something!
What's your type?
That's what I'm trying to figure out, isn't it!
What colour do you like?
I don't like how this question asks what color, singular, because I like many colors. In fact, I'd say I like most colors. My favorite color is maroon, kind of this shade:
Because it's classy, timeless, beautiful, and autumnal. Reminds me of good things, like the way burning wood (as in making an intentional fire) smells in cold weather. But I like other colors, too. Pink is nice in most shades, as is purple, and I like this color of blue:
It's vibrant and fun and, for some reason, makes me think of the Northern Lights a bit. I've never seen the Northern Lights, but, you know, in pictures.
What is your favourite personality?
I don't really have one, but I'm drawn to people who are intelligent, talented, passionate, and confident. I envy those people, and I want to surround myself with them, and I think that's a pretty sexy kind of personality. I tend to be attracted to more introverted, brooding types of people, but I can really get along with people who possess most kinds of personalities, as long as they aren't complete bigots.
Where can you find clams?
By the sea! In the sea! In restaurants, but that makes me sad because I'm a vegetarian. Stupid question, but now that I think about it, are clams animals, or are they a descriptor for the shell? Or is that perhaps a 'clamshell'?
I've looked it up and clams are, indeed, animals. And I am, indeed, stupid.
You can also find clams in humans (not in the dirty way), when their hands are clammy. Although I wonder what the etymology of that term is - for the longest time, I thought clammy hands meant dry, stiff hands, when in fact it means the opposite.
Or you can find clams in humans when they've eaten them. Or other animals who prey on mollusks.
Are you fascinated by wooden planks?
Yes. Perhaps not all the time, while walking past them, but sometimes they do catch my attention. I wonder: who made this plank? What is their story? Who has inhabited this plank before: ants, termites, other creatures...? It's fascinating, to me, how something as simple as one single wooden plank can serve so many different functions depending on who's using it. To a human being, it's just one small plank that you step over and don't give any more thought to. To bacteria, it's their entire universe. If you think about it, our galaxy is probably only as relevant to the universe as a single wooden plank.
Do people make you fascinated by boats?
Well, I wouldn't say just people, but since people make boats, I guess there's no way to get away from the fact that people get me interested in them. Boats are interesting. I don't really understand how they work, nor planes, nor most things. But if someone sat me down and explained how boats work, I wouldn't object to that, either, because what is the purpose of life if not the pursuit of knowledge?
I've only been on boats once or twice, though. I'd hate to be on a cruise ship because sicknesses spread so easily within them, and I'd feel so trapped. But overall, boats are cool, and they do good things, like saving people who need to be rescued, for example.
Does the number 9 resemble the number 6?
Yes. As we all know, 9 is 6 upside down, and/or vice versa. They also fit into each other, like yin and yang. And, of course, there is 69ing, the sexual position. Additionally, the Enneagram type 9 can resemble type 6, too, from what I understand, especially in surface ways as they're often two of the friendliest types and are 2/3 of the main triad (369). However, I wonder why the person who made this questionnaire didn't ask if 6 resembles 9, too.
How are elastic bands made?
I have no practical idea. I would say elastic bands are made like anything else is made; somebody gets an idea and then creates it. Is that a bullshit answer?
Do Brits call 'rubber bands' 'elastic bands'?
Do you step on the floor tiles only being able to step on the one's that fit into the pattern in your mind?
Not all the time, but sometimes, yes! I might make myself step on only the ones of the same color, or some arbitrary pattern. I've always attributed to a potential anxiety disorder, but I can say that it is something I do.
Do you take your finger and make sure it does not meet a lamp post and only go over it using your field of vision as the picture?
I see what you're doing here - trying to throw off the sensors
I daresay that might be a bit superficial.I think this is a nonsensical sentence, but maybe that's because I've never done it before! Maybe there are people who do do that, and it makes plenty of sense to them, whereas it doesn't make sense to me because I've never experienced it. Just like "Ask Siri to text Jessica that I'm taking the Uber to the Internet Cafe" wouldn't have made sense 100 years ago. Perhaps that's a stretch, though.
So, short answer: no.
If you put a pig in an airplane does that mean that pigs can fly?
No, because the airplane might be on the ground and not moving at all! The pig can only fly if the airplane takes off into flight.
Did you ever remember the 5th of November?
What is this from again, V for Vendetta? I used to have a bunch of dude friends who would go around every November 5th saying that to anyone who would listen. It got pretty annoying, after a while.
Now that I've finished that questionnaire, it has occurred to me that it didn't really address all dimensions of the cognitive functions. I'd do another one, but I'm lazy.
Also, I just noticed that it was for video challenges only. Oops. I've never quite paid attention to detail.
Give me your answers, and feel free to ask me additional questions if anything isn't clear to you! Oh, and please give reasons when you suggest a type -- just throwing out four letters at me isn't really meaningful, and I'd like to use MBTI to understand myself better, not just to have a label
Thanks in advance!
