I swear, the more I understand about MBTI, the more confused I get...
Anyway, I took Revy2Hand's questions and answered them. What functions could you see me using based on my answers?
When working on a project where do you place your emphasis? The process of putting it together, or the final product? (Do you experiment with your perspectives to create ideas?)
I’m not really sure on this. Probably the final product.
Are you a realist? Are you more of a no nonsense type of person? (I find these people like to call bullshit on everything)
I’d like to think I’m an idealist. No nonsense-wise, I don’t really think so, but other people have considered me to be a serious person. I’m not really clear on the BS thing either.
Would you say you make decisions quickly, or do you take a while coming to a conclusion, because you hope you're not missing some vital information that will change your mind?
Most of the time, I make decisions quickly. I get impatient when other people are fickle and can’t make up their mind, though I’m hypocritical in doing that sometimes too. :frustrating:
Do you ever experience nostalgia? For instance being able to completely remember a mood of a past experience/time?
Nope. Memories are rather fuzzy for me. I may feel embarrassed or ashamed thinking about something I did in the past, but I don’t remember the actual mood of it.
Are you of the rebellious sort? The sort who rebels for no reason other than to rebel against authority?
No. If I rebel, I want a reason to do so, not just for its own sake.
When watching a film and critiquing it, do you critique it based on details in the film, for instance on how you thought a certain portion of it was un-realistic (or something along those lines) or based on the idea or point they were trying to get across/how well they got it across? (It can be a combination of both sometimes too) (an example would be for example, critiquing Passion of the Christ, do you think the movies retarded because no one can live as long as he did with that much blood loss, or because of the fundamental errors the movie makes when trying to make its point, and the way it tries to connect the audience to that point?)
Neither. I’m not really aware (don’t know if it’s the right word) about the unrealistic parts of it unless someone points it out to me. Sometimes, I get annoyed at them for that. Just enjoy the movie! I don’t really think about how well ideas are being portrayed either.
When debating with others, do you ever get the feeling or state for that matter, that you can see where your opponent is coming from? For instance I have gotten into arguments over things I honestly don't believe (or could care less if it were true), but it all started when someone would tell me about a certain topic and how this certain stance is stupid. Then I would say well, I can see why they'd think that or how it could be possible, then they'd start arguing with me as if I had a stake in it.... Do you feel you do anything like that?
Hmm. Yea, I’ve had that feeling before. I think I do pretty well in seeing their perspective on things.
Do you notice symbols in the world, do you ever try and wrap the symbol back to an idea that you believe?
Nope.
Are you hurt by criticisms? Do you get personally offended when people try and criticize you, or are you thick skinned?
Yes, unless it’s something that I’m blah about, like saying I’m too blunt, or if I asked for criticism. Even if its constructive criticism, it’ll hurt, but I try to rationalize it in saying it’ll help me grow somehow. It doesn’t take away the sting, though. I don’t have a thick skin.
Say for example your learning about cameras in school, would you be more inclined to go home right away and read a whole shit load on cameras so you feel confident in your knowledge of cameras? or would you feel perfectly comfortable when the teacher calls on people to come try it out, to just hop up there and start using it?
For the camera, I’d just start using it. However, in a different situation, I need to feel confident in my knowledge of things, or else I feel like an idiot for not knowing what I’m doing or getting myself into.
When you are out do you worry about how people will interpret any action you take? (Sort of in a Seinfeld sort of way, where they over analyze actions people make, trying to find their true motivation) Do you feel a sort of pressure from this?
Sometimes I worry about it, and I do feel the pressure. It only happens occasionally though.
In a classroom setting do you ever find yourself helping other people out with projects or homework when you see their struggling? Do you do this to make yourself feel more comfortable?
Yea, I do that sometimes. I don’t think I do it to make myself comfortable, I just want to help. I do feel pretty good afterwards, though.
roud:
Do you find yourself ranting to your friends about how a certain something could have been done way easier? Or how someone went about doing something (anything like a project, work, etc.) was really stupid and you could have done it way better and in a more simple fashion?
Eh, not really.
How does your average day go in general?
It’s pretty slow and routine. Sometimes I feel uneasy about it, doing the same thing every day (wake up, go to school, etc.) and I want something different. However, when there’s a faster change of pace, I’m stressed that I can’t keep up. What a contradiction.
What things do you value the most?
I value my relationships, especially in family. I value my space and can be quite irritable if I’m deprived of it for too long. And my iPod. I can’t leave the house without it. It's like a key to open my own little world. Without it, I can't tune out everything else.
What things regularly bug you?
My mind is drawing a blank on this. There’s probably too many to name. I’m a rather irritable person.
What do you value most in other people and what qualities do you find most repulsive in others?
I value honesty, even though it might be painful. I value compassion, and can be envious of that too. I don’t see myself as a kind person, though I’m sensitive to how other people feel.
I don’t like clinginess, it’s suffocating. I absolutely hate manipulation, especially through guilt. I don’t like when people ask for my advice and then promptly dismiss it. I don’t like fake people, but I’m sure that no one really does. I hate how cruel people could be, and I hate insensitivity, such as people being rude to waiters or something. If I knew them, I would reprimand them for it.
I tend to focus more on negativity in people than their good points.
Any peculiarities that you have noticed about your personality?
Not really, except for the excessive need to be alone after being around for people for too long.
Anything that makes you stand out from other people that you know?
I find that people always talk to me about their personal problems and ask me for advice. I feel uncomfortable with that since I’ve never really been in their particular situation, and that makes me the wrong person to ask. That coupled with the fact that I’m afraid my advice might screw them over. Others have noted that I always know the right thing to say, but I don’t even know how I do this, or how I come up with the advice. I just DO.
People also look at me strangely when I talk, and I thought it was because I was saying something possibly stupid or weird. I asked my friends about it though, and they say it’s because I know what I’m talking about, and I talk over their heads. I was completely oblivious to this, and I certainly don’t feel that way.
I’m also known to be opinionated, always having something to say.
I don’t know if that answers the question, but whatever.
What do you yourself think are your strengths and weaknesses?
Strengths:
I’m weary of taking only one side of information. For example, if person 1 was angry at person 2 for something, I wouldn’t immediately agree that person 2 was [insert insult here]. I need to hear the other side of the story to make a valid opinion. This is also because I can see different sides of the conflict, and why people would react the way they do.
I’m a good listener, and I genuinely try to help people fix their problems.
I’m calm in distressing situations, as I know everything will work out in the end. I find that I need to calm others down too, reassuring them that things will be alright.
Weaknesses:
I can become isolated from people if I’m not careful. I realized that it’s incredibly easy for me to drift away if I’m not careful.
I can be passionate in something easily, but I could lose it just as fast. It’s kind of depressing, like the things I once loved don’t matter anymore.
I’m not really attached, honestly. If I were to move away, I would miss my friends, but I could get over it easily. Family is a different story. Maybe it’s my priorities.
I spend more time actually worrying about a project/assignment/etc. than actually doing it.
I try to help people, but there have been times I have given too much of myself and left nothing for me. It’s a double edged sword.
I can hold a grudge.:mellow:
So, type away. :laughing:
