(Originally posted on a different, possibly dead forum, with no responses.)
I've always been on the fence of almost everything. In fact, I have a value system built on the the concept of balance being the key to a healthy life. This doesn't help me a lot when I'm trying to figure out what personality typings resonate with me. I used to believe I was an ENFP (there's a lot on ambiverts and riding the fence according to most with them) but I've grown to not really resonate with the typing over time. I don't think I'm really an extravert, as much as I'm comfortable facing my feelings and expressing them I often turn to logic over my emotions in problems solving, and overall I like structure. But even through all of those things, I'm not completely convinced I'm not an ENFP or close to one. When it comes to MBTI typing the one thing I'm sure of is intuition. eN or iN I can't really distinguish, but I live for intuition and it drives most aspects of my life.
When it comes to the 3 unknowns I/E, T/F, P/J. I overall feel I have a tendency towards Introversion compared to Extraversion. This is due mostly because I don't really care for social activity as much as I do for non-social. Overall I'm more the type to hang with small groups of people (5 or less, 2-3 is preferable.) I find parties to be noisy and often way more draining than necessary and overall, when it comes to a lot the activities I like to do (painting, writing, world-building, system-building) I don't need people around to do them, and it's much better if there isn't anybody around when I'm doing them. This is contrasted only by my absolute love of games and my dislike of physical activities that don't have to do with people. I'm a competitive spirit and love the challenge of versing people in games of strategy, bluffing, or physical activity. While open-world video game adventures can be exciting with the prospects of discovery and storyline, I get easily sucked into all out brawls or versus games such as Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart, and Overwatch. This competitive streak bleeds into board games as well, where I am always up for a good game of Risk, Chess, Monopoly or MTG. The thin line between extroversion and introversion is even harder to define when it comes to my Job. I'm a festival musician and artist. My job requires me to be comfortable performing in front of a large group of people, as well as developing connections between possible business partners and customers. I have to be comfortable interacting with people for 6-8 hours. This is where it's confusing, because I am comfortable, and I thrive in this environment.
Thinking and Feeling are hard because, I see them as equally important when considering the proper decision in a situation, and I often swap the order based on the context of the issue at hand. Internally and externally I've never had issues expressing either, and they both play a role in my personal and impersonal life. I've always been a good strategist/analyst, this leads to me often being a formidable force in the competitive games I love to play. I've also always been a empath/diplomat, never really having an issue soothing my friends internally and mending strained or broken bonds. Internally I have a pretty clear control and understanding of my thinking process and also what I'm feeling. Overall I tend to both analyze how I feel from a detached perspective and color my thinking with my personal motivations and morality.
Judging and Perceiving is the hardest for me because overall they're the least understood within myself. I do enjoy the security of and comfort of structure, but it's restricting and limiting. Freedom is wonderful, but it's also lost and provides no support. Most of the games I enjoy allow me the freedom to do a lot of things, but also the restriction to not making the game broke. I do most of my world-building for Role-Playing games, such as dungeons and dragons, where the freedom to do/make anything is exciting, but I and often extremely strict about what is allowed and what isn't. I love homebrew material, but I love homebrew material that makes sense in the world I'm making. I love complex systems that allow for weird half-breeds and multiclasses, without becoming a senseless mesh of chaos. That being said, I absolutely hate the restriction of many other games. I don't get why certain things shouldn't be allowed if they can be logically explained or reasoned. This translates to beliefs on legal systems, and law, where I understand the need and enjoy the security of the law, but also find the needless complexity and restriction inane.
Overall, I'm mostly looking for people's thoughts and ideas, I took an Enneagram test recently and got 4w5/5w4, though I'm also strong with 9, 1 and 7, so if that helps anybody, good luck. Thanks for reading my long post. Any feedback is appreciated. ^w^
