1) What aspect of your personality made you unsure of your type?
I’ve tested very differently over several months and several tests, and reading type summaries has left me torn between several. I’m sure I’m full of biases as well, so here’s to starting fresh.
2) What do you yearn for in life? Why?
A perfect balance between a comfortable and well-established social life and a challenging and rewarding job. I want to always feel like I’m learning, or affecting change—to see major positive developments in my lifetime caused by my actions would pretty much be the ultimate end goal. Why? Because it makes me feel happy, and like I’ve exceeded my expectations as one of seven billion and been recognized for it.
3) Think about a time where you felt like you were at your finest. Tell us what made you feel that way.
A sense of independence, a total understanding of my environment, exceeding at a skill, being surrounded by people.
4) What makes you feel inferior?
Not understanding an idea that the majority of my peers can, correct observations made about my flaws, the thought that someone is superior to me in every respect, with less effort.
5) What tends to weigh on your decisions? (Do you think about people, pro-cons, how you feel about it, etc.)
I consider the social repercussions of each path, and once I’ve eliminated unacceptable results, I choose between the rest based on (typically personal, sometimes practical) pros and cons .
6) When working on a project what is normally your emphasis? Do you like to have control of the outcome?
Creating the best possible results to the full extent of my skill, even if it means taking on an excessive portion of the work. If I am not directly responsible for the outcome myself, I must be able to rely upon the person who is.
7) Describe us a time where you had a lot of fun. How is your memory of it?
Going out to a beachside bonfire for a friend’s birthday; bonding with close friends, making friends with acquaintances, and meeting strangers. Vivid, although I remember the scenery and exact mood more than specific conversations and events.
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 just dive into it, consuming as much knowledge related to the field as possible. I then annoy the hell out of my friends by enthusiastically discussing it with them nonstop as I revel in the new ideas and work things out.
9) How organized do you to think of yourself as?
Fairly. I’m mess-prone, but I can’t go more than a few weeks in chaos before I go on an organizing spree. I procrastinate hugely, albeit with a hearty dose of guilt on the side and full awareness of what I’m doing.
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?
I try and understand the principles behind it, and only seek out examples that reinforce it if I can’t get my head around the idea otherwise.
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?
Both. I thrive when I feel a part of a group, even if it means adjusting myself, but I enjoy pursuing causes that I believe in.
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 usually think before I speak although my own friends can’t tell the difference between when I’m saying something carefully premeditated and waxing eloquent on total bull. I prefer group discussions for the variety, unless I want to know more about a single person.
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?
Every situation calls for a different reaction. I enjoy taking part in both schools of thoughts. Actions certainly speak more than words, and often more honestly, too.
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?
Record my show and go out if I haven’t been doing a lot- if I’m tired or have had a mentally exhausting day, I’ll give them a rain check.
15) How do you act when you're stressed out?
Impatient and fatalistic.
16) What makes you dislike the personalities of some people?
If they seem apathetic or willfully ignorant, or if they’re in some position of responsibility and seem incompetent or oblivious to the mood of their surroundings.
17) Is there anything you really like talking about with other people?
Depnds on what that person likes. The best conversations are talking about something mutually interesting, or something they’re educated on and passionate about, regardless of my knowledge or interest.
18) What kind of things do pay the least attention to in your life?
My personal health. Sometimes I forget to sleep and eat, even if I’m otherwise completely aware of everything.
19) How do your friends perceive you? What is wrong about their perception? ? What would your friends never say about your personality ?
Confident, funny, intelligent, obstinate, speculative, impatient, passionate, and sometimes-neurotic. Any projected confidence I have is at least 70% showmanship and no substance, and I tend to act more patient and kind than I usually feel, though. They would never consider me to be slow, apathetic, or oblivious.
20) You got a whole day to do whatever you like. What kind of activities do you feel like doing?
In totally ideal conditions- energized and full of money, haha- I would get up early, have some quality reading time with current affairs or my interest du jour, then go out for coffee with old friends, people-watch, and go do some activities I like in good company (arcade, rockclimb, get lost, that sort of thing) before going home and curling up with a good documentary and my significant other.
Thanks for the help! If you have any other questions, shoot.
