At this point, I am almost positive that I am either an INFP, ISFP, or ISFJ. INFP and ISFJ seem more likely than ISFP, but honestly, I don't really know what I'm talking about.
I filled out this questionnaire:
0. Is there anything that may affect the way you answer the questions? For example, a stressful time, mental illness, medications, special life circumstances? Other useful information includes sex, age, and current state of mind.
21, female, current state of mind is calm/nostalgic/euphoric, I have anxiety, I'm on an antidepressant (serotonin reuptake inhibitor) and have also been taking NyQuil for the past like week. I have been in a mild existential crisis for like one to two weeks, but it's not bothering me right now.
1. Click on this link: Flickr: Explore! Look at the random photo for about 30 seconds. Copy and paste it here, and write about your impression of it.
I don't think I can copy/paste links yet, but I'll describe it. It's a photo of a little girl in front of a lake staring at the night sky, and civilization can be seen in the distance. My first thought was "this is very Fi." It seems to represent authenticity during childhood, and how we appreciate simple things until technology and civilization get in the way (I don't necessarily agree with this, but that's my take on it).
2. You are with a group of people in a car, heading to a different town to see your favourite band/artist/musician. Suddenly, the car breaks down for an unknown reason in the middle of nowhere. What are your initial thoughts? What are your outward reactions?
My outward reaction would be to stay calm and not say much, and try to find a solution to the problem if I feel that I can help. I feel like getting upset or stressed only makes things worse. Internally, I would probably be spacing out and thinking about something unrelated, to distract myself.
3. You somehow make it to the concert. The driver wants to go to the afterparty that was announced (and assure you they won't drink so they can drive back later). How do you feel about this party? What do you do?
Um, obviously. Maybe it's because I don't get out much, but there is no way I'd pass up the chance to party with a group of people who like the same music as me.
4. On the drive back, your friends are talking. A friend makes a claim that clashes with your current beliefs. What is your inward reaction? What do you outwardly say?
If I felt strongly about it, I would probably voice my opinion + why I feel that way, but in a very non-confrontational way. My inward reaction could range from slight judgy-ness to rage, depending on what the person said.
5. What would you do if you actually saw/experienced something that clashes with your previous beliefs, experiences, and habits?
Wait, I don't understand this question. Does it mean, like, my beliefs are being proven wrong? Or am I just seeing something that pisses me off?
6. What are some of your most important values? How did you come about determining them? How can they change?
The biggest one is empathy. This is the one that I apply to everyone, not just myself. I think society is cruel, and people are very quick to dehumanize people who disagree with them and people who have made bad choices. I think it's important to imagine yourself in someone else's situation before hurting them or wishing harm on them. That being said, I am a pretty terrible judge of character. *shrug*
Others: straightforwardness, humor, enjoyment, comfort, kindness, popularity, harmony, friendship, logic, and family.
I've had my sense of empathy and a tendency to side with the underdog for as long as I can remember. As I've gotten older, I've started leaning slightly more toward fairness and self-responsibility, but I still get pissed off when I see parents yelling at their kids in the store.
Some of my other values are things I've pretty much always cared about, like popularity, logic, and comfort. Others, like friendship and family, are relatively new. My values change when my understanding of myself changes. For example, my current understanding of myself is that I'm sweet and sensitive, so I am prioritizing values that engage my caring side and setting aside values that require/encourage confrontation.
7. a) What about your personality most distinguishes you from everyone else? b) If you could change one thing about you personality, what would it be? Why?
a) The fact that I am very straightforward yet very sensitive. It seems like most people fall into one of two categories: unemotional/cold and straightforward, or sentimental and peaceful. I don't fit into either of these.
b) I'd make myself less of an airhead. I am always missing details and messing up the simplest of hands-on tasks. Even my friends and family make fun of me for it. I act like I don't care, but it's actually my biggest insecurity and I'm extremely defensive about it.
8. How do you treat hunches or gut feelings? In what situations are they most often triggered?
I rarely have gut feelings. When I do, they're inaccurate and triggered by anxiety. When I get a bad feeling about someone, it's because I've had bad experiences with someone who had a similar personality. I suppose this is Si.
9. a) What activities energize you most? b) What activities drain you most? Why?
a) Small group discussions!!! They are literally the reason I'm taking on-campus courses instead of online. I feel so alive and euphoric afterward. I also feel energized while/after playing games that involve a lot of customization and creativity (ie. Animal Crossing, GTA 5, Skyrim, etc.) I also get some energy from competitive activities with friends, such as card games.
b) Writing long papers. I'm pretty good at it, but I don't enjoy it, and I find it very draining/tiring. I always end up repeating myself a lot because of the character/word quota and it's just like ughhh.
10. What do you repress about your outward behavior or internal thought process when around others? Why?
If I have a strong opposing opinion to the general feeling of the group I'm with, I usually repress my thoughts and feign agreement or neutrality. I only do this if the group includes people that I don't know well or am not comfortable around.
