1) What aspect of your personality made you unsure of your type?
I tend to doubt everything, so my type is no exception. I find it very difficult to know who I am. It seems that I modify my perception of myself all the time. No the mains characteristics, but the details. I could logically explain my behavior/thoughts as coming from any types if I focus on certain aspects of myself, so to know which ones I should focus on is very hard. I’m pretty sure I use Ti and that I am introverted, that leave me with 4 choices, INTP, ISTP, INFJ, ISFJ, and that’s considering I do use Ti.
2) What do you yearn for in life? Why?
Hum…
I’m still searching I guess.
To make the best of this life I guess, which I’m not very best at (way too stuck in my head).
3) Think about a time where you felt like you were at your finest. Tell us what made you feel that way.
No specific event comes to mind.
When I feel in control of myself and when I receive external validation I guess. Even then, I tend to downplay the events.
4) What makes you feel inferior?
Failure, comparing myself to other, failing to change myself, doing something stupid.
5) What tends to weigh on your decisions? (Do you think about people, pro-cons, how you feel about it, etc.)
The pro-cons. Is it a good decision, objectively. How will it affect others. Is it realistic.
I can have strong feeling about things, but I try to not let that affect my judgment, if I can. “I felt like X so I did Y” doesn’t seem like a good justification to me.
I don’t like taking decisions to be honest, I prefer to just analyze the situation.
6) When working on a project what is normally your emphasis? Do you like to have control of the outcome?
I’m not a control freak, so as long as the outcome is positive, I’m alright, I guess. I try to see what could be the potential errors/flaws in the project. I’m might be too good at it, since I have a very hard time staying motivated on a project because of that.
7) Describe us a time where you had a lot of fun. How is your memory of it?
When I making fun of stuff and acting goofy in general, I guess. My memory is awful, I can’t find a specific event.
Generally I think it would be some good times with my Ex and when I played video games for hours with friends?
7) 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)
Depend on the subject. For technical and practical subjects, I am more hands on. Stop talking until I had the time to try it myself. With others subjects, I make association with simpler situations, make parallels, and find the general principles very quickly that way. I’m not good at memorization.
8) How organized do you to think of yourself as?
Zero
9) 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?
I make sense of it. If it sounds logical, I will assume it’s possible (but not true, that require more thoughts).
For factual things, I’ll have to research to be sure. On more abstract subject, I will generally make my mind very quickly, and it don’t take me long to call bullshit on something (I might not express it, but I will think it).
I try to see how it compares to reality. If it fall apart when put in reality, it’s probably wrong. I often see debates on these forums about what is logical or not about a theory. Just look at the facts in the real word. If it contradicts them, the theory is probably wrong (or you don’t understand the theory correctly…).
10) 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 don’t generally agree with the group….
That said, I don’t get satisfaction by openly opposing myself to others. I more of a “live and let live” type of guy, as long as the actions of others don’t affect me. I like to argue with friends (and I can be very argumentative), but with others I’ll pretend to agree with them (while I might be thinking ”what a moron” internally).
11) Are you the kind that thinks before speaking or do you speak before thinking? Do you prefer one-on-one communication or group discussions?
One on one discussion, think before I speak. I do the classic “Ti look” where I stop talking and search for the perfect way to express an idea. I something “barf” information incoherently very quickly, then I have to reformulate everything more slowly/clearly if I want to be understood.
I assume a lot of shared knowledge with others, with a lot of my sentences ending with something along the lines of “because… you know… right?”, “it’s difficult to explain but you get what I mean” or similar statements.
12) 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?
Paralysis by analysis. I generally pass more time thinking about doing something than the time it takes me to do it.
I have a very hard time getting to action.
13) 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’m not sure, let me think about it” “I haven’t eaten yet, give me a few minutes”
Then, if I choose to go, I’m late.
15) How do you act when you're stressed out?
I’m always stressed out.
When very stressed, I try to rationalize the situation or to think of something else, or avoiding the situation if possible.
16) What makes you dislike the personalities of some people?
Stupidity, close mindedness and arrogance. Peoples who don’t think. Sheep behavior. People that try to control others with illogical statement and emotional manipulation. Loud dumb people.
17) Is there anything you really like talking about with other people?
America’s Next Top Model and similar stuff…
I like to talk about the observations/analysis I make about everything, or stuff about my hobbies/interests .
18) What kind of things do pay the least attention to in your life
America’s Next Top Model and similar stuff
19) How do your friends perceive you? What is wrong about their perception? ? What would your friends never say about your personality ?
“Finagle you are way too confident and decisive. Stop being such a narcissistic douche bag”
I’m seen as indecisive, procrastinating, weird, funny, intelligent, imaginative, lazy, complaining, nice, anxious, argumentative, cautious, random… I guess…
Depending on the people, I’m seen as an artist or a computer geek.
20) You got a whole day to do whatever you like. What kind of activities do you feel like doing?
Staying at home eating cookies in front of my computer, then complaining that I’m wasting my time.
Feel free to look at my posts history if it can help you getting a better idea of myself.
