1) What aspect of your personality made you unsure of your type?
The Sensing and Intuition functions have got me confused. I'm reasonably sure I am Ti dominant, but I am not sure where I am regarding Se-Ni, or Ne-Si.
2) What do you yearn for in life? Why?
Knowledge, adventure, and novelty. I am extremely curious and I cannot stand the feeling that my mind is stagnant. I want to travel, and experience everything I can. The thought of being stuck in one place for my whole life tends to trigger a depressive state in me, if I dwell on it.
3) Think about a time where you felt like you were at your finest. Tell us what made you feel that way.
It's hard to think of a specific instance, but I have usually taken the most pride in my academic achievements. Also; finishing something I've been working on leisurely makes me feel extremely accomplished because it's something I rarely do.
4) What makes you feel inferior?
When someone is better than me at something I pride myself on. I actually quite like when this happens, though, because it motivates me to improve much more than I would otherwise.
5) What tends to weigh on your decisions? (Do you think about people, pro-cons, how you feel about it, etc.)
It's usually a pros/cons process. I tend to weigh my decisions based on what I expect the outcome of each choice to be, combined with which process of getting to a result is most favorable.
6) When working on a project what is normally your emphasis? Do you like to have control of the outcome?
It depends on the type of project. If it's a project I've been assigned to do, my emphasis is on getting the job done, and doing it well.
If it's something I've started of my own accord, my main objective is enjoying the process of making it and doing everything I can to improve it whether I get it done or not.
I definitely like having control of the outcome.
7) Describe us a time where you had a lot of fun. How is your memory of it?
It may sound odd, but the best example I can think of at the moment is getting lost. Something about having no idea where I was was just so... exciting. And I had fun finding my way back to where I was supposed to go. I love problem solving more than anything, I think, and mystery. When faced with an unknown such as my own location I get the greatest joy from working it out.
8) When you want to learn something new, what feels more natural for you? (Are you more prone to be hands on, to theorize, to memorize, etc)
I don't know that I have any particular method - it usually depends on the subject matter. I usually go through a sort of process.
- Go over what I already know about the subject.
- Theorise about it.
- (if applicable) Test my theory/take the hands on approach.
- Look it up, take in the subject matter (memorisation).
I am better at remembering something
1. If I see it written down/I write it down myself.
2. If it is sung. (something about the melody sticks in my mind better)
3. If I can relate it to something else.
9) How organized do you to think of yourself as?
Anyone coming into my living space would see a disastrous mess, but I know exactly where everything is and I get annoyed when people try to put my things away, because I can't find them then.
There are specific things I organise extremely well, though - namely books, CDs, and DVDs. They are all on shelves in chronological and/or alphabetical order, and by subject.
10) How do you judge new ideas? You try to understand the principles behind it to see if they make sense or do you look for information that supports it?
My first instinct is usually to look for information that supports it.
11) You find harmony by making sure everyone is doing fine and belonging to a given group or by making sure that you follow what you believe and being yourself?
I am not very group-oriented at all. Usually, being myself comes first.
12) Are you the kind that thinks before speaking or do you speak before thinking? Do you prefer one-on-one communication or group discussions?
I definitely think before speaking, so much so that I occasionally cannot come up with a response untili it is too late. I prefer one-one one discussions or a small group (>4people)
13) Do you jump into action right away or do you like to know where are you jumping before leaping? Does action speaks more than words?
I do a little of both.
14) It's Saturday. You're at home, and your favorite show is about to start. Your friends call you for a night out. What will you do?
I would find a way to do both. Either watch the show and then meet my friends somewhere, or go out and find a way to watch the show later.
15) How do you act when you're stressed out?
On the rare occasions when I become stressed, it usually either motivates me to work faster or causes me to completely break down and isolate myself, becoming extremely irritable.
16) What makes you dislike the personalities of some people?
-People who are stuck on one worldview and will not consider new ideas.
-Extremely submissive people who let others walk all over them.
17) Is there anything you really like talking about with other people?
Ideas - whether focused on theories, or something to do, I love ideas.
Particular subjects of interests are literature, writing/language, psychology, science/mathematics (with particular people), my observations and analyses.
I don't tend to be focused on the present when I speak.
18) What kind of things do pay the least attention to in your life?
-Socialising/other people - I tend to view strangers as "experiments" rather than "potential friends" for lack of a better description. And once I get bored of observing them I pay them little to no attention at all. This is why I rarely make new friends.
-Ordinary events/routine - for any routine activity I will go on autopilot. I often have trouble remembering what I ate that day or whether I brushed my teeth yet, for example. This can become rather annoying.
19) How do your friends perceive you? What is wrong about their perception? ? What would your friends never say about your personality ?
My friends percieve me as "the girl who knows everything." Obviously I do not know everything, but I do store an immense amount of seemingly random knowledge due to my curiosity/the fact that I read a lot.
They also probably perceive me as more extroverted than I am.
I don't think they'd ever call me 'sensitive' or 'ignorant.'
20) You got a whole day to do whatever you like. What kind of activities do you feel like doing?
(Assuming money is no obstacle) I would buy a plane ticket to some country I've never been to and explore to my heart's content, unguided and alone, doing the best I can to immerse myself in the language and the culture and making an adventure out of the experience.
I might find a big, well-stocked library and spend some time there, making my way through its collection. There is little I love more than books.
I would finish the day in my room, practising piano and/or violin, or perhaps just listening to a lovely classical piece and really taking in the music.
