Q0: Disclaim now if you have any mental health problems or are in a particular mental state (sad, annoyed, etc) which may bias or change your answers. This will allow typists to make adjustments.

Not really any big mental issues, right now I’m just sitting on my bed with my cat haha. I’m pretty content, but also a tad bit anxious.
Q1: Why do you want to learn more about your type? Also, why are you interested in personality typology in general?

I just got sucked in. It all started with that 16personalities test. When I got my result, I read the description. Then I started expanding on it, taking numerous other tests and reading more descriptions. I let the forer effect consume me, I just felt so understood and validated etc etc. Then I learned about the cognitive functions and realized those descriptions are unreliable and misleading. My passion for this subject started growing and it isn’t stopping. It’s getting to the point where I go to great lengths to keep this obsession fed. Some might call it an addiction and try to take it away from me, so I also go to great lengths to keep it secret. If I have to voice chat on discord for two hours on the toilet with the doors closed and make my family think I have chronic constipation just so I could get insights on my type and information from knowledgeable and also interested people with no interruption or risk of poop hitting the fan with my real life relationships/circumstances, sign me right up I’m willing to go that extra mile. But here’s the thing: I don’t necessarily know why. Back when I was even more naive than I am now, I would scream my passions and obsessions from the rooftop. Everyone I talked to knew the full extent of my enthusiasm for whatever subject I happened to be attached to at the time. And they’d always ask, “why? Why do you like this so much?” I never knew how to respond. I didn’t know then, and I still don’t know now. I am just interested. It just happens. My life is a series of falling in love with something and then putting all of my heart and energy into it and then doing that with something else later. I find though, as I get older, these phases last longer and longer and for a long time there is this unwavering attachment I develop with it and no one can stop that. My last obsession over a video game lasted for about 2 years, and when I found 16personalities I started caring less and I couldn’t stop it from fading. MBTI was clearly moving in and taking its place, and now it’s a full on fangirl seizure every time someone brings up personality types in real life. I’m sorry, I wish I knew why I’m so interested in typology but I’m really not sure, lmao.
Q2: Work/life balance: do you use a concept like this? Do you think that there is a distinction between "work" and "life"? Explain why or why not.

I do believe that there’s sort of this barrier between work/school life and real life. It really sucks, but it’s there. Try inviting all your co-workers to a party mixed with all your childhood friends, family, relatives, “homies” lmao, etc. It’s going to be awkward. Inappropriate comments will happen, unprofessional stuff, and pretty much this suffocating tension the whole time. I believe that it doesn’t have to be this way. While I do understand why it happens, I also think why do we restrict ourselves like this? I was invited by one of my friends to a big get-together celebration at this really authentic tex-mex restaurant one night. I figured, hey, it’s a saturday night out, who says we have to stay formal and abide by unwritten and restrictive formality rules? I had next to no filter, oversharing random stories, laughing obnoxiously loud, climbing on a chair to take photos, etc. It was great, everyone was enjoying themselves, we had fun, we paid the bill, we went home, everything was fine. My friend’s job literally had zero negative effects, in fact if anything it should bring their work people \closer,** and I bet it did. I was allowed to express myself and I was accepted for who I am, not having to tailor all my crap to fit this professional bs atmosphere. Everything turned out fine. So why did my friend get mad at me? Oh you talked too much. Oh you took too many pictures. Oh these people are professional people at my job and you acted like an unhinged monkey. Ok, lmao? What exactly did I hurt doing this? Like I said, I do understand that there is a barrier, you don’t want your friend’s mom booty calling your boss at 3am kind of thing, there is a limit. But when you over exaggerate that limit so much that you’re taking away from your own or other’s fulfilment of life, that is ridiculous and I don’t believe that things should be like that at all. It pisses me off just thinking about it ngl, you’re overcomplicating nothing and trapping yourself for absolutely no reason at all.
Q3: What do you look for in your friends? What qualities do you like having in your friends and what qualities do you not like? Explain why you like and dislike said qualities.

I get along with people who laugh a lot, chill, and allow me to be myself without judging or feeling awkward. I low-key kind of love being around people that find everything I do funny because it sort of makes me feel more confident and reassured in myself. It also just makes the friendship 1000000x more fun because it compels me to laugh too, and we just end up having a great time. Someone who doesn’t make a big deal out of things, wants to hang out a lot, and is really supportive and trustworthy are also great and I’ll have a long-lasting friendship with them. I want to be able to share my deep personal stuff with them without judgement and then shake it off later like nothing happened. I want to have a meaningful friendship without worrying about hidden backstabbing or malicious intentions. And I’m not a real controlling person, so I’d get along better with someone who isn’t controlling either. If the other person respects my beliefs I’ll respect theirs. To sum it up, I get along best with people who provide a non-judgemental, comfortable, fun, and chill relationship.

On the other hand: People I don’t get along with are manipulative, domineering, tense, uninterested, pessimistic and critical. I can’t stay in a friendship/relationship for long if we’re always battling each other’s opinions, passively-aggressively trash-talking each other, and making each other feel like pieces of garbage after “hanging out.” I also can’t stand someone if they’re constantly controlling me or trying to micromanage every minute of my life. Criticizing every action I do and making me feel like I can’t do anything right, making me feel like the needy, desperate, cringeworthy friend, secretly despising me, does this constant backhanded social games behind the scenes, that sucks.

​

Q4: Do you behave differently with strangers or in professional settings compared to people you know or in casual settings? Explain the differences and explain possible reasons why those reasons exist. If there are little to no differences, explain possible reasons why there are little to no differences.

With strangers, it can vary. I have social anxiety at times causing me to be quiet and just keep my face in my phone, but other times I’m trying to talk to people and end up oversharing lmao. When I’m fully comfortable, I get really excited and fangirlish around strangers for some reason and I’m really really trusting. Got scolded a lot for that lmao. A lot of people will accept me for who I am and let me be myself before they even know my name, and then in contrast family that I’ve known all my life seems like they’re watching and taking note of my every microexpression and judging me for everything. I wish I could just consistently be “me” with every part of my life, strangers, work, family, friends, etc but it’s definitely not the case. In professional settings, I have so much to say but I guess like fear is holding me back, one wrong word will have serious consequences. Yikes. My friends also report me becoming noticeably more “shy” around my family, and that’s just because the consequences are so much different around different people. This is why I can’t just be that unhinged money I was talking about in Q2 all the time. Here’s an example that will hopefully let me explain this better: I’m in the coffee shop and I want to order a my meal and talk with the cashier. Around friends: I get up, say I’ll be right back, walk up to the cashier, place my order, try to make small talk, we laugh a little, I give them a nice tip, pick up my number and sit back down and if any interesting details come up, I’ll share them with my friends and we can laugh about that too. Around a professional setting: I politely excuse myself to go order something because the people have high expectations and I have to have “good manners” and if I do something unprofessional it could hurt my job and therefore directly hurting my life. Order my meal quickly and try not to make a scene with the cashier because I have to be PrOfEsSiOnAl. Then I come back and no matter how interesting the details were, I shut my mouth because they either don’t care and or we’re busy talking about work stuff. Around family: I get up really fast so they don’t have time to ask me where I’m going and then get really suspicious. Then I explain word for word exactly what I’m doing anyway because “be right back” sounds like attitude. I walk up to the cashier, look over my shoulder, and they’re not watching. Order my meal, talk with the cashier, laugh a little, pick up my number, and then I come back to the table. At this point, I don’t really have the choice of whether or not I want to share the interesting details because they’re already on me going, “What are you doing talking to strangers?? That cashier hates his job and doesn’t care if you like the ketchup!!!! What else did you tell him?????!!!!!”

​

Q5: When other people talk about you, how do they usually describe you and the way you act? How do other people say they perceive you? Do not talk about your opinion on how people perceive you (Q6).

People have noted that they think I’m nice, outgoing, a walking meme, extremely sentimental and nostalgic, funny (when I don’t screw the joke up), and sometimes observant (when I’m not standing in front of the refrigerator screaming “WHERE’S THE FSHKHGING CHEESE” when it’s literally right in front of me lmao). On the negative side, kind of overbearing and inappropriate in social settings and sometimes weird when it comes to expressing my interests.
Q6: How do you think other people perceive you? What do you want other people to see in you? When others hear the name [Your Name], what do you want them to think of? Do you (or do you feel that you) are projecting a "persona"? Why or why not? Do you think you projecting (or not) your persona is a good or bad thing? Explain why.

I always thought that I’m seen as that one friend who would get up at 4 in the morning to hang out and there’s no bad time to call or text me, lmao. I have a million photos in my phone for all our memories and love sharing those, and I probably would be counted on if someone wanted to know a date of an event and all of its details because I stored it on my phone with a thousand pictures to go with it haha. I think others see me as easy going and up for anything rather than trying to force everyone into my beliefs.
Q7: When interacting socially, do you take note of who interacts with who? That is to say, do you take note of the "cliques" or "groups" that form in environments such as work or school? Does this knowledge or this not knowing factor into your decision making in social interaction?

Yeah, I do tend to take note of that, and especially at parties I see like these same people who are literally always together and talking to each other grouped up over there, another clique over there, it’s like all there is lmao. This makes it extreeeeeeemely hard to try and start any conversations, because literally everyone is with someone else, and if someone is alone, it’s because they used the restroom and are now walking back to their clique. I’ve tried countless times to try and join one or at least talk to the people there, but that crap is already so tight knit that you just end up getting cast aside and you can sit on the edge of the seat for hours at a time looking for an opening to speak, but it never happens. And if you leave, they don’t even notice. Pfffffft. I’d say this definitely affects my socializing.

​

Q8: What qualities or values do you value or want to see in yourself? Do you meet those qualities or values? Why do you value those qualities and values?

I value being more of a follower than a leader, because I despise the thought of being above people. I want to be among friends and co-workers instead of in an authority position where I have to tell them what to do and we can’t really hang out the same because I’m their “SuPeRiOr.” I don’t believe in social hierarchy garbage either. I don’t care what race, gender, religion, sexuality, etc you are, that is not a good way to judge a friendship. I love being with people no matter what their background is, a good person is a good person. I also absolutely hate the idea of being dominant, manipulating or controlling. I simply want to be me, in charge of nothing, have a fun and fulfilled life, take things as they come and do what I’m passionate about.
Q9: Imagine your ideal house. What does it look like? What rooms are there and how are they arranged? What amenities does it have? You are free to design a house either for only yourself or for family/friends.

My ideal house is right near the heart of the city, where the liveliness is contagious and I’m only a few minutes away from the purest, liveliest and in my opinion, prettiest part of life. I’d also like to have at least 4 roommates who are chill, non judgemental, like hanging out and can support themselves, not trapping me into some kind of commitment garbage lol. The house would be have different rooms, and mine would be filled with little things here and there that express my views/hobbies/interests, I’d probably also paint the majority of it my favorite color (yellow, but not like the really bright yellow), and my roommates can decorate all they want and express themselves in their rooms too. It would essentially be like a hub, where like the living room and the kitchen are sort of in the middle, sort of like a meetup or a gathering spot to discuss stuff or play games and all that, and maybe we can install mini-fridges in everyone’s rooms so we’re not all fighting over the BBQ chips lmao. I think it would be great haha
Q10: What hobbies or creative pursuits do you take in your free time? Why did you decide to take up these hobbies or creative pursuits? In what way do these impact your life?

I like to edit memes/videos and draw comics in my free time occasionally. Not saying that they’re high quality lmao. While I do enjoy doing that, most of the time I just sit in my room, eat chips and watch YouTube videos. Vine compilations, music, etc. I also like chatting with people online about typology or just meme around lmao. Or become insanely active on reddit or twitter for a short amount of time lol. It’s fun and it makes me feel like I’m making progress toward something for some reason.

​

Q11: When beginning a romantic relationship, what are you most afraid of happening (with respect to the romantic relationship)? If you have never been in a romantic relationship, imagine.

I have seen absolutely terrible things happen to good people because they’re committed to this junk hole person for whatever reason. This is why I never plan to get married and would rather live with roommates than some dude with a ring. People change, opinions change, values change, circumstances change, and if for whatever reason things don’t work out, I want to be able to LEAVE. That would be my biggest fear getting into some intimate thing. I know a very sociable, free spirited, compassionate and brave woman who got herself stuck with this vindictive douche and now she’s living the quality of life equivalent to a criminal’s. Constantly looking over her shoulder, fearing for herself, can’t afford to screw up, now she can’t really live, and every time I see her she’s always bringing an even more disturbing story to us. I’d fear being controlled and trapped and manipulated to the point where I completely forget that life is beautiful and then get absorbed into this depressive state that you can’t ever completely recover from. I just want to skip all that nasty crap and keep everything from escalating out of control. This is why people get friendzoned. Relationship = over complicated friendship. But If I’m going to get into a romantic relationship, we both need to mutually love each other. Just to clear something up: When I say love, I’m not talking about this tough love garbage your parents are always shoving down your throat as a child, punishing you and making you feel like crap and the claiming that “wE kNoW wHaTs BeSt FoR yOu.” No. Love, in my interpretation, is truly being devoted and passionate about something/one. Going to great lengths for whatever it is. Caring, but to a deeper level. Bringing their confidence up, building them up, encouraging them, not tearing them down. It will NEVER manifest as “trapping you in this laser alarm system where your every move blows up something extremely important in your life and making everything complicated and trying to take away/destroy everything you stand for claiming that you’re doing it for the greater good.” That is not love. That’s something else. If you are hurting someone, that is not showing love. And if you try to “twist things around” to try and convince someone that it is, that is direct manipulation of their feelings and reactions to get them to essentially be GRATEFUL for harming them. That is not ok and is a major red flag in my opinion.
Q12: Related to Q11: describe your ideal partner and what traits or qualities they have. Describe their body and demeanor. Do the things you expect and want in a partner parallel what you expect and want from yourself?

I’d probably prefer to have a partner with the same mindset, that life is awesome and if you get the chance to do what you love, you should seriously try to get it. I don’t like having high expectations put on me, and I don’t want to do that with my partner either. Women have the stereotype of being impossible to please, but I would like to avoid that. All I really want, if I have to be in a romantic relationship, is someone who I truly love, and they truly love me back, won’t trap me and want to just live life as happy as possible with me. Be flexible and wanting to have a good relationship.

Q13: Also pertaining to romance: now that you have elaborated on your ideal partner, describe your ideal relationship with that partner. How will you and them interact? What will daily life be like? Why do you want this life?

I’d probably want to keep things simple but also open and fun with them. Wake up, “what do you want for breakfast?” if neither of us have a strong preference, we can default to Chick-Fil-A or kerbey lane or something like that lmao. Go to work, come home and do whatever. Watch a movie, invite friends over, eat out, play some fortnite, stuff like that. I’d also like to be able to talk to them about personal things, and try to avoid fighting. I generally want to keep expectations low, because that’s how 99% of fights start, someone is not being a certain way that they want them to be blah blah blah. If we can both agree to skip that junk, cool yeet :D
Q14: What is your relationship with money? Do you value money? What are your spending habits? Do you try to save money? Do you see yourself as good at handling money?

I do care about money and I do try to save up, but to be honest, without guidance I’m pretty bad with it lmao. If something comes up, like I’m hanging out with my friends and we see a Chick-Fil-A, and they’re up for it, and I have the money, heck yeah let’s go eat at CFA, yeet! If they’re selling some limited time thing and it seems worth it, I’m gonna go and buy it. I don’t see why not. I once walked into an apple store just to see what they had and eventually attempted to buy a whole ass iPhone X on the spot just because I had the required amount in my account. My friend stopped me from doing that lmao.
Q15: What is your fashion sense? What do you usually wear when going out? Do you see yourself as being fashionable? Do you care about fashion and the manner with which you present yourself to others?

I wear comfortable shirts and pants. That’s it. I’m definitely not fashionable I care way more about comfort than looking “aesthetic.” I always hated wearing dresses even as a child, and I still do. Sure it looks good, but I feel so stifled and impractical and itchy that it’s not even worth it anymore. My clothes shopping is quite easy, I pick out T-shirts of my favorite colors, usually like athletic shirts only because I like the fabric, not because I do outdoor stuff lmao, and just regular pants. I don’t care if you don’t like my clothing style, judging people negatively like that purely from appearance is superficial anyway and I really couldn’t care less if I got that kind of approval or not lmao.

Q16: The bedroom is arguably the most personal space one has. So, describe the state of your bedroom. Is it organized or messy? How are the things arranged? What objects are in it? Decorations? Do you particularly care about the state of your bedroom or your living spaces in general?

It’s relatively clean, but that’s only because I have to keep it that way due to household requirements. If I had my way, things would be slung everywhere, food crumbs, wrappers, towels, laundry, dhfgjhkhhgfxudzhjbgxfhbxfhjfvcx. I really don’t care about my living space, as long as I have a place to put my laptop and sleep and I can find what I need, I’m perfectly fine lmao. I have a few really old ass posters but I’m too lazy to change them lol.

Q17: When you feel upset, what do you usually do to make yourself feel better/what do you do in general when you are upset? "Upset" I am defining to be "state of extremely feeling a/some negative emotion(s)".

When I’m upset, I don’t want to do crap. I want to stay in bed 24/7 with my phone and sleep and do literally nothing. I would be way too ashamed to get up. If I did, my profanity usage would be noticeably higher throughout the day lol. Lots of ranting, self loathing, feeling hopeless, and I would also completely lose my appetite. The only thing I want to do when I’m upset is not make the situation worse or make myself feel worse, even if it might slow down it process of making it better. Blehhhhh
Q17: Now that you have finished the questionnaire, do you have any notes or anything to add? You may talk about how you felt taking the questionnaire and the experience of answering the questions. This may also be used to help select a type for you.

I love this questionnaire and I’m really excited and anxious to submit it, lol. It was really fun to complete and I always love being able to explain myself like this. It was also really long and I had to take a break because I was becoming tired xd but I’m glad I stuck through to the end lol. I’m really grateful for this, it’s a win-win, it helps me know more about myself, it makes me feel better to write out some of my views, and I can actually form some certainty on a type. Thank you for reading this :D
