1) What aspect of your personality made you unsure of your type?
My orientation – introverted or extraverted. Many of my preferences are typically introvert, some of my behavior however seems extraverted.
2) What do you yearn for in life? Why?
Being at one with myself, community with other people. To give to others.
Because that is what makes me feel good and I also think is good.
3) Think about a time where you felt like you were at your finest. Tell us what made you feel that way.
There are several occasions. All had me interacting with another person one-on-one and me expressing love in a way that deeply touched that person.
I was able to deeply relate to that person’s specific situation and challenges and convincingly express understanding and empathy.
4) What makes you feel inferior?
Looking bad (physcially or otherwise).
5) What tends to weigh on your decisions? (Do you think about people, pro-cons, how you feel about it, etc.)
First priority are feeling (my emotions and how I think other people will be affected). Second priority rational analysis.
6) When working on a project what is normally your emphasis? Do you like to have control of the outcome?
Yes.
7) Describe us a time where you had a lot of fun. How is your memory of it?
Playing basketball. Playing hide-and-seek. Reading a great book where I was able to deeply immerse myself in the story.
My memory is nostalgic, emotional and visual.
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)
First, I like to read about it. I like to have different angles on the same subject. This allows me to gradually increase my understanding. It is absolutely vital for me to order and systematize what I’m learning. I need to be able to structure information in order to grasp it.
9) How organized do you to think of yourself as?
Very. I need internal and external order and I strive to create it.
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 judge new ideas on what I (think I) know or have experienced to be true. If I get emotionally attached to a point of view, I have a tendency to look for supporting information. When I’m not attached, I try to look at it from different angles.
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?
If I have to choose, I will probably follow what I believe to be true. Because I crave harmony across the board, however, I also try to contribute to a peaceful environment. I am not much of a group guy. At the same time, I like being with other people (small group preferably).
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 think I think before speaking, but I’m really not sure on that. Might well depend on the circumstances.
I definitely prefer one-on-one communication to group discussion – big time.
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 like to know where I am jumping.
That said, I believe that action speaks much more than words. I admire people that act instead of talk.
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?
Depends. What I can say is that my initial preference would probably to stay home, but I might just as well go out.
15) How do you act when you're stressed out?
I become verbally critical of people. I start blaming external factors (people or things). I occasionally lay guilt trips on others. I become overly active yet very ineffective. I become fatalistic and my thinking becomes distorted and I draw rash conclusions. Specificially, I extrapolate things in a negative way, painting a very gloomy picture of the future that usually turns out to be unjustified.
16) What makes you dislike the personalities of some people?
Coldness, egoism, pushiness, garrulousness, aggression, parasitic neediness, rudeness, unreliability, superficiality, materialism, arrogance, starting an argument and then not hearing me out.
17) Is there anything you really like talking about with other people?
Spirituality (as long as it doesn’t become abstract and detached from experience), social and psychological topics.
18) What kind of things do pay the least attention to in your life
Material things; money ; theoretical things that I perceive to have no practical/real world relevance.
19) How do your friends perceive you? What is wrong about their perception? ? What would your friends never say about your personality ?
My friends probably perceive me as kind, understanding, generous, supportive, agreeable, interested, easy-going, tolerant, thoughtful, loyal, unobtrusive, smart, self-conscious, indecisive, a good listener. On occasion, they might also perceive me as warm but I may come off as reserved as well. Some may think of me as occasionally talkative, but that is the minority.
Contrary to appearance, I often am not a very good listener and not very interested in what others have to say. I can also be pretty judgmental and easily hurt. I am not very flexible. But I don’t display those traits when interacting with friends, because I like to be as agreeable as possible and make them feel good.
My friends would never say that I’m aggressive, argumentative, arrogant, loud, not agreeable, stupid.
20) You got a whole day to do whatever you like. What kind of activities do you feel like doing?
Sports, meditation, enjoying nature (quiet), reading, meeting a good friend and having a deep conversation.
Thanks for any input.
