Hey!

Hello! I'm from Australia, currently living at home and studying environmental science. I have been questioning recently whether this degree is the right choice for me, which has lead me to MBTI and typing myself as an INFJ, with the hopes of finding out more about myself and a career area that speaks to me more clearly than the sciences. MBTI has been a stressful experience to say the least (not saying socionics will be any less stressful), but I'm looking forward to learning as much as i can, especially from you guys. Cheers

*Any help on where to start would be much appreciated.

Hey!

2nd try 80Q!

Block I

General to specific, specific to general – what does it mean?
General is just overall, not narrowed down. Specific is the opposite, narrowed down to a certain topic or thing, detail.

What does "logical" mean? What is your understanding? Do you think that it correlates with the common view?
Putting things together and coming up with a conclusion that's believable if you tell people step by step and the details.
Yes I think so. I tend to not trust facts(if i dont agree with them/have experienced it) because some facts have proven to be wrong, it could all just be made up by people, or they got something wrong etc. I trust my and others experiences more.

How do you explain fractions on the dial of the clock?
Um, theyre built up so it can show all the hours in a 12-hour period, and all the minutes? i dont really know how to explain this one.
What is a rule? What rules do you have to follow?
A rule is something made up/approved by the people in charge (or by democracy), if you break it it cannot lead to consequences by the government/police, but by others.
You don't have to follow any rules if you don't want to. But you have to be able to deal with the consequences.

What is hierarchy? Do you need to follow it? Why or why not?
Basically in a hierarchy there's people in charge that have the most power, and then people with less power that can be controlled by the people in power.
Um so in a school for example you have the principal>teachers>students. There are powers that rule over the principal aswell if you take it further.
I don't get what you mean by "follow it"? Like if you're a student you have to be a student, you can't rule over other peoples grades or change something about the school. Unless you group up with a bunch of other students and protest. Maybe that'll help the principal realize you want a change, and if the principal wont change that thing, there may be losses for the school/principal. So he/she will change it. ))

What do you think of instructions? Do you use them? Could you write an instruction manual? If so, what type of instruction manual would you most likely write?
I follow instructions on things i dont know how to do. Like say i hadnt done pancakes before. Then i would find a recipe and follow all the instructions obviously to prevent a bad outcome. I wouldnt just look at an overview of the ingredients and be like "okay lets go! let's just try things until we get it right!". Why would you do that if you already have the right recipe INFRONT OF YOU. After i get comfortable with the instructions i can start experimenting with it, as i feel more secure in my abilities.
Sure i could write an instruction manual. It would be about something i had a lot of experience in.

Please explain: "Freedom is in complying with the laws, but not in ignoring the laws"? Do you agree with the statement? Why?
I just looked up the word complying and it means following the law? So they mean freedom is by following the laws and not ignoring them. Uhh no i dont agree. If you live in North korea and follow the laws you are not free.
Tell us how about consistent you are?
Im consistent in not being consistent. Nah, but i dont know. In terms of sticking to one thing for years i'm not consistent. My behaviour and opinions are pretty consistent.
What is a "standard"? Why do people need it?
A measure of how something is supposed to be, or the bare minimum of how something should be. They need it so they know theyre not going in the wrong direction.
How do you feel about this block?: It was easy except some words/terms i'd never heard before that threw me off.

Block II

What is work in your opinion? Why do people go to work? Are there any parameters where you can distinguish whether you can do this work or not?
Work is something boring. People go to work to make money for themselves to have a better life, but it is also something the government needs you to do to make society function. You can always learn stuff along the way, but you can't run for president if you have no experience in business/politics/whatever it is you need, lol. You can't do work that you have no clue about if you're expected to do it immedietly, is what im saying.

Is there any correlation between quality and quantity? Tell us if or how the price depends on quality?
I honestly don't know how to answer the first question. Idk what it means. The price usually depends on the quality, although if a company has already made a brand for themselves they can start to slack a little bit while increasing the prices. This can go bad though if people realize it and the word spreads.

How do people determine the quality of work? How do you determine such quality? How well you can determine the quality of any purchase, do you pay any attention to it?
They determine it on how it fits the *standard* i guess. I determine quality based on what i want. I usually end up comparing it to others, and get disappointed if it's different than others that are in the same category/same thing, and judge it as bad quiality, usually.

How do you feel if you didn't finish some work? Does it ever happen? What are the reasons?
I don't really feel anything depending on what it is or how it will affect me. Yes it happens. Reasons is because i can't put my emotions aside, or im already busy with something else OR i just hate doing it and it's very hard for me to do it.

What is "Interesting work" for you?
Um, something creative, possibly. Not sure.

You go to the store and see something you're interested in buying; there is a price tag on it. What parameters are you going to use to understand if it's overpriced, underpriced, or priced correctly?
Compare it to other things i've seen and how it compares. Also how much i like it...

When you work and someone tells you: "You don't do it right." What is your reaction?
Not sure. Depends on their attitude. I ask them to show me how to do it.

There is a professional right next to you. You always see that you can't perform the way they do. Your feelings, thoughts and actions?
Annoyed, jealous probably. Depends on what it is.

When you have to ask someone else to help you with the task, how do you feel?
Kind of stupid and i feel like i should be able to do it myself, like others. But it's not a huge deal.

You need to build a pyramid exactly like in Egypt. Your thoughts, feelings and actions?
Boring, why, who will even come and see this and how will this benefit me. Going to take a loooong time. I'd get a team of people to help me, go to egypt measure it and shit, also look up studies about it i guess. Then hire builders. Do it. Dunno how i would have money for this.

How did you feel about this block?: Boring but alright.

Block III

What is beauty? Do you change your opinion about beauty? Does your understanding correlate with the generally accepted notion? What goes beyond the generally accepted notion?
Emotionsss. Or a story. I don't really care for physical beauty. I do care how i look and others but it's not a huge thing in my life. I love a big city during night and all the bright lights with people and lots of things going on.

Please describe your understanding of a beautifully dressed person. What is the core of beauty? How do you explain what is beautiful to a person who has never heard about beauty before?
Oh god idk how to answer this. Someone who doesn't just dress like everyone else, but at the same time it looks good. Now what looks good uhh like more dark colors?
Core of beauty i have no idea. 3d question idk.

Is there a template of understanding what beautiful means for everyone to use? Is there such a term as "classical beauty"? If so, what is it?
No i've realised it's different for everyone. The only thing thats the same for everyone is that we like healthy looking people biologically, with a few exceptions.

What is comfort? What is coziness? How do you create your comfort and coziness? How do others evaluate your skill in doing so? Do you agree with them?
Comfort is just not feeling pain or being uncomfortable. Wow i suck at this. I create it by making sure i have a comfortable bed, and i wear clothes that feel good when im home. In public i kind of neglect it. I dont know. I dont create coziness or comfort for others

How do you pick your own clothes? Do you follow fashion? Why? Do you know how to select clothes for different types of figures?
I pick what looks good. No i dont follow fashion unless its something i like. Maybe? idk. Try me. lol

How do you cook? Do you follow recipes? What do others think of your skill?
I usually dont cook, i just buy frozen things that i reheat. When i have to cook i follow recipes yes. Otherwise it will end up in disaster most likely ))

Are you good at color patterns and mixing them and matching?
I usually just wear black or gray cause its what i like.
If someone is telling you what is beautiful and what is not, what goes with what color and what is not, do you agree with this person?
I wont just trust them blindly, ill see if i like it or not.
Tell us how you'd design any room, house or an office. Do you do it yourself or trust someone else to do it? Why?
idk
How do you know if a person has bad taste? Could you give us an example? Do you always trust your own taste or do you seek opinions from others?
Its subjective. I usually trust my own taste unless its something really risky then ill ask others.
How do you feel about this block?: superficial

Block IV

Can you line up human resources and make them do things? What methods do you use? Can you press people? If so, how does it happen?
I used to more when i was younger. Id have this one girl who wouldnt leave me alone and i would be like "let's do this! itll be fun", id make her do it instead of me and i knew we would get in trouble and then she'd get yelled at. She blamed me but i just acted innocent haha. I can press people in telling the truth and stuff like that. Threaten them with things that would hurt their feelings or just constantly annoy them and point out their logical fallacies until they can't deny it any longer and they give up.

What is incursion? How do you deal with this? Can you repulse? How easy can you do it?
Im guessing it is an attack? these words are weird. In public i dont let my temper get over me quite as much as in private but i would attack back.

What does "my people" and "strangers" mean? When do "my people" become "strangers" and why?
My people are people i hang out with alot or people im close with. Strangers are people i dont have a connection with and rarely talk to. My people would become strangers if they hurt me deeply/betrayed me and we werent able to solve it and we stopped talking.

Are there strategies of attack? Can you use them? When is it justified?
I don't usually attack if the other person hasnt done anything or have a bad attitude etc. If they have a bad attitude towards me and throw out passive aggressive comments i will back until i decide the person has crossed the limit and ive had enough and tell them off.

Do you think it's ok to occupy someone else's territory? In what situations?
Im thinking of groups here and if someone threatened my position i would silently try to stop it. If in a relationship i would get very defensive and stop the contact between my partner and the other person. Im pretty possessive and jealous.

What are the methods of volitional force? When is it most effective and in what situations?
Dont know what this means. :/

How do you protect yourself and your interests?
Basically answered it in the question earlier.

Describe your behavior in the situations of opposition and if you have to use some force?
Try to stay calm but usually end up letting my emotions take over. Especially if this is an actual fight with emotions involved. In debates i'll get into it and my heartbeat raises etc but i stay logical and reasonable.

Do others think of you as a strong person? Do you think you are a strong person?
People that dont know me think im strong, the few ppl that know me well knows im a sensitive person. In a sense im strong that i keep getting myself up after life throws shit at me, but at those moments i hurt alot and feel horrible. It ends eventually and im strong again.
How do you understand if a person is strong? Are there any signs of a strong person? What is the core of any force? Why do people listen to one person, but not the other?
They dont give up easily on their goals, but are also willing to accept if its an unreasonable goal. They dont let others negative comments hurt them because theyre strong in themselves. The core of force? Confidence and anger maybe? They do because people got reputations.

Block V

What is boorishness? Does your understanding of it correlate with the generally accepted notion? How would you explain what boorishness mean to a 10 year old child? How would you explain the same to an adult who does not behave ethically?
Boorishness is when people have no social skills/charm and they just say things that will hurt the other person without realising it will. I dont know since ive never heard this word before. Maybe others see it as doing it intentionally as well? Thats not as bad in my opinion. When someone says to you "your face is weird"(especially if theyre trying to be quirky or something omg ew) and then you get mad and the person is like "what?" it just turns me off so much. I would explain it as saying things without thinking of the consequences it will bring.

How would you improve the moral of the society?
Idk.

Can you justify somebody's bad behavior by thinking that he/she wasn't taught how to do so?
No, just that the person hasnt had enough experience in the area, or that they have a mental disorder.

Give us your understanding of love. Can you love and punish at the same time?
It starts out as an attraction between two people. Then they get close and feel comfortable with eachother while maintaining the attraction. thats love. You can punish peple you love yes, sometimes you have to so the person will realise what theyre doing is not okay with you.

Have you heard about the Southern hospitality? Everything is for the guest. There is also a German hospitality – the master of the house is always right. What method is the right one? Try to evaluate without the weight of any cultural aspects, traditions, nations etc.
The german one is better imo. Why should you do everything for the guest? This is my house and my stuff lol. Obviously i wont treat you like shit if i brought you here, but iw ont treat you any better just because you happen to be in my house.

What is sympathy? When do you need to express it? When is it advised not to?
Its feeling bad for someone. I dont know. I feel awkward doing it especially with people i dont know that well. Its advised not to when that person wnats to be left alone, i guess.

Are there any norms of behavior in the society? Do you follow them? Do people always have to follow them? Why?
Yep. Here in my country we dont talk to strangers. I dont unless i need something. I mean there are a bunch of norms you dont think about. But idk if theyre a construct of society or just biologiclly we dont do those things. Idk what im talking about.

How do you know what attitude among people is right or wrong?
If theyre rude for no reason its wrong. If they wont stick up for themselves when someone else is being a dick to them idk if its right or wrong but i dont respect when ppl cant stick up for themselves.

What does moral mean? What is immoral? Does your understanding correlate with the others? How can you evaluate the correctness of your own understanding?
idk man. Not something i pay much attention to unless it hurts me.
Somebody is giving you a negative attitude – what is your reaction? Could you show your own negative attitude toward someone else? If so, how? Could you give a person the silent treatment? How easily do you forgive people?
I get a bad feeling but try to ignore it, or sneak some things in. I will stop being polite and smiley etc. I personally suck at giving a person the silent treatment if i like them. Its easier when they chase me though. If they hurt me really bad its hard. I will when i stop being hurt and they have showed their genuine regret and apoligized/made it up to me.
How did you feel about this block?: Its ok.

Block VI

"Whole world does not cost one tear of child" – how do you understand this phrase? Do you agree with this opinion?
that one person shouldnt have to suffer for everyone else? i dont understand really.

Is it acceptable to express emotions? Give examples of inappropriate expression of emotions.
Yes. Inappropriate would be perhaps expressing your horniness at a kindergarten

Can you use negative emotions? In what situations?
Yes? When im mad or upset. What do you mean use them?
How do you express negative emotions? What does it look like? What do others think about it?
When i get mad i yell. Or jsut stop TRYING to be nice. When im sad in public i try and go to the bathroom and cry so i wont get a bunch of attention.
Shallow emotions – what does it mean? Are there any other emotions?
Like emotions that you dont feel deep down. Just trying to cover up or fit in maybe.

What are right or wrong emotions?
Theres no wrong or right emotions
Can you change the emotional state of yourself? Of others? To what side – positive or negative?
Yes but just negative i think.
What does it mean to "pour out your emotions"? How does it happen?
When youve held them in so long that you just break down and start crying and tells everything about how youre feeling

Does your internal emotional state correlate with what you show externally?
Usually yes. Sometiems i can be a little restrained when im uncomfortable.
Do you track what mood you are in throughout the day? Do you notice the mood of others?
I would say so. Im definitely aware of what im feeling and when i feel better. Yes i do.

Block VII

Do you like surprises?
Sure. Depends. I hate when people are like "i have to tell you something" and then it takes forever until they say what it is.

How people change? How do you feel about those changes? Can others see the changes?
Yes. Im neutral towards them. People can see if someone is in a happier/sadder place then they used to be yes.
Is it true that whatever happens is only for the best?
Id like to think that but idk. Every experience is a growing experience but some people have only bad experiences and some barely none. Its unfair.
What do you think of horoscopes, fortune telling etc.? Do you believe in luck, lucky fortuity?
I think its fun but i know its probably fake. Its a way to pass time. I believe in bad luck bcause i experience is every day )
Can you forecast events? Is it even real?
Yes if youre aware of the signs that leads to it. its not 100 percent sure though.
What is time? How do you feel time? Can you "kill" time? How?
Idk how to explain time. I feel time by looking back on how things used to be and how they have changed. You can kill time by doing stimulating activities
Do you need help creating forecasts and determining how something will end? Do you trust those forecasts?
Im very aware of weird signs in relationships. Other than that idk if im good at it.
Are you normally late? How do you react if someone is late?

Im not late unless i want to be. It depends on what situation.
Imagine the situation where you agreed to meet with someone. Your feelings and actions: a) 20 minutes before the meeting starts, b) 5 minutes before the meeting starts, c) it is time for the meeting to start, but the person is not here, d) 20 minutes after the meeting start time and the person is not here, e) more time and the person is still not here…
a) nervous probably. b) idk. c) they'll be here soon probably. d) where are they? maybe they forgot? i send them a text or call. i check the date and time so i didnt get it wrong. e) with no response, either annoyed or worried.

How did you feel about this block?: Fun, somewhat hard on certain questions

Block VIII

Is there a meaning of life? In what? Is it the same for everybody?
I think there is some meaning. I dont want to just work and do the same thing every day forever and live a stable boring life. Idk i dont care about other peoples meanings.
What should be done so people can be happy?
idk
In the situations with a lot of potential and volatility will you trust your own guts, logically calculating everything or will you ask people you trust what should be done?
Ask others but eventually decide myself. I would probably regret it afterwards though. Im pretty indecisive.

When you meet a stranger, what can you say about them right away? How do you know what this person is all about? Does it take long to understand someone's talents?
How confident they are and what "group" of people they belong to. Yes with some people it takes long time to udnerstand their talents because they dont show it.

Remember an interesting person and call out 5-6 qualities you think are interesting in them. What makes an interesting person? Are you an interesting person? Why? What if someone calls you "boring" and "not interesting"?
I dont think many people are that interesting. Cant think of anyone. What makes someone interesting is when theyre not like everyone else, but still has charm. I think im interesting because i dont follow everyone else like a sheep. I think for myself. That would hurt me a little.

What opinions, from people who know you, seem: a) fair; b) not fair; c) hurtful; d) strange.
a) that im sensitive.
b) that i give up easily.
c) that i have a hard time giving up on people and moving on. and that they think im socially inept. that im boring.
d) that im normal.
Do you fantasize? What kind of fantasies do you have?
Yes. I fantasize alot about people i find attractive, about having a different life, about the past.
What qualities should a person have to be successful and why?
Confidence, strongwilled, charm, because with confidence youll be able to present your ideas to others, strongwilled you will keep going even if you get shut down, charm, people like charming people.
What qualities can stop a person from being successful and why?
Laziness, fear, being too nice. laziness=you wont actually take action. fear=you wont present your ideas and it wont lead anywhere. being too nice=listening to everyone else and going by their rules when your ideas may be better.
What is more important in life – to be a good person or be a successful one? Why? Is a good person always successful? If not, then why?
I dont really care about eithe honestly.
No a good person is not always successful, because people will walk all over you.

That took alot of time ><

2nd try 80Q!

vendredi 29 avril 2016

Care to type me, lovelies?

I figured I should start fresh and write out a new questionnaire. I think I know what my type is, but I do not know much about Socionics, and it would be nice to confirm. I am not revealing what type I think I am because I don't want that to influence anyone's answers. I'm open to new types though. Enneagram would be welcome, too. I've added a poll where you can vote if you so choose.

I am not comfortable putting pictures or videos of myself here, so please don't ask.

Here we go.

1. What is beauty? What is love?

Beauty is whatever one wants it to be. It is completely personal and not something that could (or should) be universalized. Love, as long as it does not harm another, is the same way.

2. What are your most important values?

Being kind to others no matter the differences. I try to accept all different people from all walks of life. My hope is to heal and uplift, and not to harm.

3. Do you have any sort of spiritual/religious beliefs, and why do you hold (or don't) those beliefs in the first place?

I am a Christian. My faith is primarily for me and my own personal growth, and I try to avoid imposing it upon others. I'm an odd Christian though--I don't really believe in hell, the physical existence of a god, or the notion that any religion is worse than another.

4. Opinion on war and militaries? What is power to you?

I despise war and militaries (the concept of military, not soldiers or veterans themselves; I honor them as I try to with all humans). Power has a negative connotation in my mind. The only power I could think of that is good is empowerment.

5. What have you had long conversations about? What are your interests? Why?

I've had long conversations telling stories about my life and my past experiences. There are few things more enjoyable than laughing about past events, even the negative ones (wounds heal through laughter and over time). I'm interested in psychology, writing, reading, art, and music. I like anything with a human, emotional, or creative element to it.

6. Interested in health/medicine as a conversation topic? Are you focused on your body?
I am interested in discussing mental health. I'm not sure what the second question is asking. It seems very vague.

7. What do you think of daily chores?

I find them unappealing and I try to avoid doing them at all costs.

8. Books or films you liked? Recently read/watched or otherwise. Examples welcome.

Recently, I've taken an interest in memoirs, as I am trying to write one myself. I enjoyed The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Anne of Green Gables, and several Stephen King novels.

9.
What has made you cry? What has made you smile? Why?

Many things make me cry; tears are a part of my life. Any strong emotion will evoke tears in me. As for smiles, well, I smile easily. My most genuine smiles have come from having fun times with close friends. There is nothing like a smile which beams in the presence of those who truly love and appreciate each other.

10. Where do you feel: at one with the environment/a sense of belonging?

I am at home in my environment wherever I am free to be myself and relax (not at school or in strict settings). Usually this is relaxing on my sofa with my laptop, or being outside on swings. My age does not matter; I still love playgrounds and childlike places. I feel like I belong when I'm in my close group of 3 other friends.

11. What have people seen as your weaknesses? What do you dislike about yourself?

People have said that I am too sensitive. I take many things personally and feel my emotions frequently and deeply. I am also passive and indecisive, and I have let people walk over me or push me around when they shouldn't have. I'm getting better about it. I dislike how dependent I feel upon other people's love and validation. I wish I could validate myself more.

12. What have people seen as your strengths? What do you like about yourself?

People have always said that I am very creative, and that I can see things in fun/witty ways. I'm deeply empathetic and I am not afraid to share my own emotional experiences; I have very few secrets. I like that I am loyal, and that I would do anything for my close friends. Anything.

13. In what areas of your life would you like help?

Nothing is really coming to mind. I am very content with my life right now.

14. Ever feel stuck in a rut? If yes, describe the causes and your reaction to it.

I do feel stuck in ruts sometimes. One rut that comes to mind is about a year ago. I was lonely, couldn't focus on reading, didn't have any creative ideas. Eventually I had to start creating my own pathway out, instead of relying on the ocean of inspiration to sweep me back in on its own. I dyed my hair, took walks, went on solitary adventures, and found myself again.

15. What qualities do you most like and dislike in other people? What types do you get along with?

I love people who can laugh with me and accept all my many flaws--and love me even more for them. I'm not fond of people who judge other people, who are cruel, who are disrespectful and noisy, who are immature. I also find it hard to get along with people who are very cold or emotionally unresponsive. I need a response--smiles, sadness, something. Some people...I love them, but it's so hard to get through.

16. How do you feel about romance/sex? What qualities do you want in a partner?

I am hoping for both. I would want in a partner what I would want in a friend: kindness, a sense of humor, true loyalty, trust, and emotional availability.

17. I
f you were to raise a child, what would be your main concerns, what measures would you take, and why?

I would want my child to feel like he or she could be themselves without judgement. I would want them to be able to trust me. I'd do my best to instill a sense of kindness, compassion, and morality in my child.

18. A friend makes a claim that clashes with your current beliefs. What is your inward and outward reaction?

Usually, if it's minor, I would just ignore it. If it's major, I'll gently say something like, "Eh, I feel differently," and explain why. If I'm not friends with the person, and they're on my bad side, or if I'm feeling particularly courageous, I will become stubborn in my beliefs. But most of the time I am not comfortable standing up against people I love, because I am afraid to lose their love and support.

19.
Describe your relationship to society. How do you see people as a whole? What do you consider a prevalent social problem? Name one.

I think I have a purpose in this world to heal and inspire others, and I have seen myself fulfilling that purpose in the past year. People as a whole are broken, hurting, and corrupt. In order to heal the masses, though, one must focus upon the individual. The only way to change the world is to bring it down to the individual level and work from there. There are too many prevalent social problems to name--but I would start with intolerance and bigotry.

20. How do you choose your friends and how do you behave around them?

I don't really "choose" friends. Friendships just happen naturally. I have a few close friends who are near and dear to me, and whom I care about more. I have acquaintances to whom I am personable, but I cannot handle having more than a few close friends at a time. Around close friends, I am uninhibited, casual, and silly. I'm emotionally expressive and ready to do anything that could be entertaining.

21. How do you behave around strangers?

Usually I am warm, quiet, and slightly reserved. I do not interact with many strangers if I can help it, unless I am feeling particularly inspired; sometimes the idea of sitting down and exchanging life stories with a stranger sounds beautiful. If I am with close friends, I open up much more quickly around strangers, because I am influenced by the existing familiar presence of friends.

I took a dichotomies chart test, and the ones I related to most were Ethical, Emotive, Yielding, and Reasonable (whatever they actually mean, I don't know) which corresponded with SEI. Took the original test and got IEI-2Fe.

Thank you for reading! <3

The best way of finding your type.

Hello after a year

Hello forum folks. I joined here March 2015, didn't say much, and never introduced myself. I'm coming back again a year later, hopefully to post more and learn more about Socionics theory.

A little about me:

I am hoping to pursue a career in elementary education. I'm deeply interested in psychology, sociology, and anything relating to my fellow humans. My Enneagram type is 6w7-2w3-9w1 or 2w3-6w7-9w1 so/sx. In Myers Briggs, I am an xSFJ. I'm very much a beginner with all of this and I don't know what PoLR, role functions, etc. really mean.

Hopefully I can learn a lot here.

How To Find Love Online (from the BBC Horizon series)

BBC Horizon: How To Find Love Online (1 hour long)
With Dr Hannah Fry and Dr Chris von Tulleken.

If you want to wish to watch this, may be best at an increased speed .

(The last 5 minutes were funny: I reckon Fry may be something like LII, while the "other" woman seemed rather like Keira Knightley)

The programme talked about the work of Dr Helen Fisher (starting from about 30 minutes in, for a few minutes), which has been mentioned on these boards before: I found this the most interesting bit. I'm going to start a thread with her test and ask it to be merged into an older thread, because I would like there to be a poll!

There is also this 17 minute TED talk by Dr Fry that I have not yet seen yet: The Mathematics of Love

ESTj Description by I/O

ESTjs are inquisitive, assertive, energetic and hard-working, and really push for speedy closure of everything they start. They like utility, reliability and productivity, and seem to be impressed by insightful, functional solutions. Being practical, they can easily adopt new ideas, technologies and tools. They're alert, diligent and thrifty; they also foresee the best ways to employ people and things, and to provide for the future. They evaluate and judge everything in terms of feasibility and utility. They're also able to drop everything and just relax.

They can be very caring, providing for the material needs of those close. They help others in deeds not in words because they're not that emotionally supportive. However, they love holidays, celebrations, abundant food and are usually able to cater well to guests. They love long fruitful conversations and impressing others with their competence. They're very stable in friendship and will go out of their way to return kindness and loyalty. They'll often neglect their own needs and health while looking after others. However, they seem to adapt to the moods of those around them so when people quarrel or are distrustful, ESTj disposition can become rather judgemental and harsh. They have no problem getting into someone's face.

In communication, they tend to be open and curious; and good intentions are usually relayed through their humour and positivism. Frequently, they come across as too direct, subtly not being their strong point. They can also become rather hot tempered in arguments or overtaken by rage to the point that they no longer hear the opinions of others and stubbornly insist on their own views. Rarely will they openly admit that they were wrong. However, if opponents remain restrained and do not succumb to bullying, ESTjs become more reflective and cautious. When needed, they can restrain their emotions but sometimes that takes a huge effort on their part.

ESTjs hate chaos, disarray, lack of discipline, or transgressions of their norms, rules and or agreements. They seem to need a guaranteed, predictable future since they know that they poorly anticipate problems. They try to gain full understanding and exhaustively prepare themselves before starting any serious endeavour because they need to be ready for every eventuality. However, their impatience can cause them to overlook important considerations but having to fix their plans later can make them very anxious, irritable and or angry.

ESTjs know how to put people to work and challenge them, and they're very intolerant of those they consider parasites or idlers.They want people to be honest, punctual, and above all, helpful so they really appreciate those who make conscientious effort for them. When starting work, they suddenly stop talking and immediately get down to business. They can be masters of discipline and organization but are usually not that good a providing detailed instructions; they prefer that others simply mimic them.

ESTjs are not very analytical or intuitive, but they do know a good thing when they see it. They prefer to determine their requirements and plans through study of what others have done or through brainstorming with someone or in group. They'll cross-examine and or research to the nth degree until they're certain of what needs to be done; they certainly know how to extract information and apply it. Because they need certainty, they want closure and don't like open-ended questions, projects or scenarios.

They cannot seem to live without purpose or without having a clear objective before them, and success inspires them most of all. The closure of one step in a project gives them inspiration and boost for the next until they've gone the full distance. They don't usually like doing steps in parallel because they seem afraid of making mistakes, causing confusion or putting the cart before the horse. They know that when they're disoriented or see no immediate solution, they grow very nervous and lose their edge so productivity goes in the toilet. They hate it when others interfere in their affairs or force them to redo work.

ESTjs have a strong sense of ownership and territory - they would not allow anyone to exert control over or do things differently on their turf. They're strongly focused on their processes and objectives but often overlook the sensitivities and needs of others. They're critical in evaluating the behaviour and productivity of others while ignoring their own shortcomings, and they can express their displeasure rather corrosively.

ESTjs enjoy competition and are venturesome, especially if there is a need to prove something. They like being leader of the pack; if they're not, they'll look for weakness in the leadership; and if they can't find any, they'll likely move on to greener pastures. Being perceived as important, substantial, or the best seems to be a goal of most ESTj. They can be very self-righteous and bold in pursuing success but sometimes these forays can be rather rash or impetuous, and that temper is always a possibility. However the motto for them seems to be: nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Although they usually have little interest in hobbies or diversions, they do love interaction with others so will participate in activities that facilitate this. Though traditional and conservative by nature, they also strive to keep up with the times and will not cling too strongly to old ways. As boisterous and open as they may appear, it can be difficult to get close to or please them because they're very discriminating and impose high standards. However, despite their brusqueness and posturing, they're quite sentimental and well meaning.

Ladies, get ready to be drafted for war

I'm generally nice to people upon first meeting, but deep down I'm insanely competitive, extremely judgmental, impatient with wasted potential and intolerant of liars, bullies, and desperate and inconsiderate people. I'm very protective of those I love, but can have a tendency to morally crusade and ignore boundaries. In the process of becoming much more self-aware, the older I get. Anything else you want to know, just ask. Introduction aside, let's have fun now.

I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

Tendencies when nervous w people

How have you noticed different types acting when nervous around other people? I'm thinking of situations like job interviews, meeting people they want to impress, first dates, etc. For example, one similarity I've noticed among SLEs is avoiding a lot of direct or prolonged eye contact while their eyes dart everywhere. Among SLIs I've noticed that when nervous they look down and seem extremely serious and business-like.

Types when nervous in social situations:

ESE - get extra sassy, which can come off as bitchy (I've only seen this w one ESE, but I saw it several times)
LII
SEI
LII

EIE -
LSI
IEI
SLE - avoid a lot of direct or prolonged eye contact while their eyes dart everywhere; get aggressive if they feel threatened

LIE
ESI
ILI - avoid eye contact and tend to move away physically when intimidated
SEE - talk about how they are nervous, but don't really show it much imo

LSE
EII
SLI - look down, avoiding eye contact; seem extremely serious and business-like.
IEE - talk super fast, and way too much

A new Perspective on Dichotomies in Socionics - Pyramid Diagrams, Draft

I've been working on a complete structural map of socionics for a few years and it it finally to a point that it is worth sharing. A few of you may be familiar with an old pyramid diagram someone posted from one of my facebook groups. This is the first part of my article explain how they work.

I want to emphasis that this is pure classical socionics. I have not added anything new to the theory. These diagrams are simple a tool for understanding Model A, or any other similar model.

I invented these diagrams so the average person can use the dichotomy structure correctly. I originally had a more mathematical focus, but after talking to Gulenko and Reinin who told me they were not familiar with the math, I decided I should take a common sense approach insted and leave the math out. I haven't decided to what extent I will talk about the formal structure at the end. I'm posting this here to see if it make sense so far and I'll make changes based of you feedback.

This is the first part of my draft. I expect to delete this thread and start a new one once it is completed

Any suggestions appreciated!

A new Perspective on Dichotomies in Socionics - Pyramid Diagrams, Draft

Does socionics try too hard to make fit everything together neatly?

Functions, intertype relations, dichotomies, etc. Socionics does a lot to try to fit everything together in this interconnected labyrinth, and while that would be nice if everything happened match to up perfectly, I feel as if many of the nuances, deviations and factual insights are ignored in order in to maintain this nice neat interconnected matrix of ideas. Model A for example universally applies IEs to act in certain way depending on which function they in, but doesn't give us any insight in how exactly each type specifically uses each of the functions in their daily lives, or in what ways the same IE can manifest differently even when they are in the same function, which is something I have observed between Kindred and Look-a-like types.

The main point I am trying to make is that I think socionics should put more effort into going in-depth about each type, element, relation etc. and extracting insightful information rather then trying to maintain the model the information is in.

80 Questions -- Type Me!

Block I [IMG]http://file/C:/Users/Jayden/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image002.png[/IMG]

1. General to specific, specific to general – what does it mean?
I am just beginning to do this and already I wonder if providing answers when I don’t even know how the question is being asked will help type me.
This makes me think of introverted intuition and the idea of perspectives. I naturally look at things from different perspectives. I don’t really know what to say about this question. I would probably just look up the dictionary definitions. I am not a fan of the connotation of words. To communicate effectively, we should all just go off the dictionary definitions rather than trying to account for all the various feelings that may be attached to words – although admittedly, I have feelings and words that I attach to words.
2. What does "logical" mean? What is your understanding? Do you think that it correlates with the common view?
I guess I am realizing that I view logic more in an extroverted thinking way. I think that logic is something that can be externally validated. Introverted thinking is a foreign idea to me. I would once again default to looking in the dictionary. Going based off of my own mind – I want to look up mind in the dictionary and see if I am using the word correctly--, logic is
3. How do you explain fractions on the dial of the clock?
I don’t explain fractions on the dial of the clock. I was beginning to think about breaking down every minute and second and then I realized that this is probably referring to the how I tell time. I don’t know though. I just say 9:45 or whatever. I don’t say “quarter till 10.” I think that is the proper answer to this question.
4. What is a rule? What rules do you have to follow?
A rule is a principle that people are generally expected to follow. Rules are supposed to keep everyone in check and working properly, although they can hinder people and inspire rebellion in others. I follow rules like show up on time, I don’t do chores very much, I follow driving rules and I write from left to right like I was taught. I use grammar rules even though I don’t know some of them and may be messing up something right now.
5. What is hierarchy? Do you need to follow it? Why or why not?
Hierarchy is a structure of external powers. I am not looking these words up. Instead, I’m giving a more personal definition, with hopes that this will be instrumental in externally verifying my type. I can be insubordinate at work and don’t hold authority in esteem, I would say that I don’t follow it. I certainly don’t need to follow it. I have a pet peeve about people using words like should and need because I shouldn’t and don’t need anything. A conditional phrase must be placed after the statement like “I should go to the store, because I need food” or “I need to follow hierarchy, in order to not be fired or create social unrest in my work setting”. I may be coming off fastidious (I looked up synonyms for picky) but I am very unconcerned about other things.
6. What do you think of instructions? Do you use them? Could you write an instruction manual? If so, what type of instruction manual would you most likely write?
I just put some Velcro sticky things on the back of a mirror to hang it on a door today. I didn’t look at the instructions because I thought it was a simple task. I like to figure things out on my own and consult the instructions if I need assistance. I could write an instruction manual. I think it would sharpen my writing skills and ability to explain things in an organized way. I would probably write something technical that wasn’t as simple as Velcro sticky things.
7. Please explain: "Freedom is in complying with the laws, but not in ignoring the laws"? Do you agree with the statement? Why?
I don’t think I agree. This sounds like some groupthink bull****. There are probably a ton of laws that I am unaware of, therefore I am ignoring these laws. I feel free enough. I don’t think knowing and complying with the laws would make me feel more free. I would probably be more aware of the oppression that laws place on people.
8. Tell us how about consistent you are?
I remain rather consistent. I change my ideas and views as I receive new information but I don’t think I have changed my ideas on anything that is pivotal. Am I close-minded? “Close-mindedness” lies on a spectrum and I am probably far enough in between the two ends that I need not worry.
9. What is a "standard"? Why do people need it?
The first thing that came to mind was “gold standard” but I know very little about how the US used gold as a way to determine a dollar’s worth. I could be wrong about the little explanation I just gave. A standard is an objective idea of something. People need it in order to please the masses and meet objectives.
10. You need to put your home library in order. How do you feel about this activity? How will you approach this task?
It seems like a grueling, awful task. I imagine myself with a large library but I only have a bookshelf. It would be easy for me to do now but in the future, when I have more books, it would be really unenjoyable. The hoarding of books that I forsee reminds me of Enneagram 5’s trouble with avarice. I would probably just make it alphabetical. If I had a larger library, I may implement the system that libraries use (dewy decimal or whatever)

Block II [IMG]http://file/C:/Users/Jayden/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image004.png[/IMG]

1. What is work in your opinion? Why do people go to work? Are there any parameters where you can distinguish whether you can do this work or not?
Work is a distraction for people. If we had all day to ourselves, we would go insane. Work replaces the hunting, gathering, cooking and stuff that people used to do before industry changed the human race. I just thought about the difference between “able” and “want” regarding work. There are tasks that I am able to accomplish but take me too long and are much easier for others. I would not want to do those tasks. I can probably do anything – within reason-- that I put my mind to but it would require a lot of effort and not be enjoyable. Work is what the masses do to fill the pockets of the wealthy.
2. Is there any correlation between quality and quantity? Tell us if or how the price depends on quality?
This reminded me of learning about supply and demand in school. I don’t know how to answer this question other than the way that I’m going to answer it and the other ways that it could be answered. I’m sure there is a correlation between these two. The higher the quality, the higher the price. The lower the quantity, the higher the price.
3. How do people determine the quality of work? How do you determine such quality? How well you can determine the quality of any purchase, do you pay any attention to it?
I determine the quality of work based off of rubrics and grading sheets. Outside of school, I determine quality based off of how long something will last. I think about leather stitching and handmade things but I don’t really care about that very much. I just buy the most expensive thing and assume it is quality. I do that sometimes. I know it is awful. I think that is what the American market wants people to do and it isn’t always the right way to buy wisely.
4. How do you feel if you didn't finish some work? Does it ever happen? What are the reasons?
I don’t finish work quite often. I am listless and don’t make lists of the things I need to accomplish so I end up not doing much. I am capable of these things but I have an aversion to drudgery.
5. What is "interesting work" for you? Please explain in detail.
I am interested in technology design, philosophy, psychology and reading. I don’t really know what would be interesting work though.
6. You go to the store and see something you're interested in buying; there is a price tag on it. What parameters are you going to use to understand if it's overpriced, underpriced, or priced correctly?
To determine the state of the price of something, I think about how much I want it and whether I can get it cheaper elsewhere. I think that things I don’t care about are overpriced, for me.
7. When you work and someone tells you: "You don't do it right." What is your reaction?
“What am I supposed to do?” I recognize that that person is being very direct and I should be direct back. I might be hurt by the person’s frankness but I am frank and a bit rude also so I’m a hypocrite I guess.
8. There is a professional right next to you. You always see that you can't perform the way they do. Your feelings, thoughts and actions?
I would try to compensate by getting the correct information and amassing an understanding. I would feel inadequate perhaps, or motivated by the adversity. I would probably feel the former.
9. When you have to ask someone else to help you with the task, how do you feel?
I think I am an independent person but I have no issue asking for help when I deem it necessary.

10. You need to build a pyramid exactly like in Egypt. Your thoughts, feelings and actions?
My gosh, what a stupid thing to do. The pyramids are already build and I’ve been given the job of con-artist. I would delegate a majority of the work to professionals with the proper knowledge. I would keep things on schedule and devote my time to things that I actually care about. I might get into Egyptian history. If I have to do it by hand, I would be distraught. I sound prissy. Normally I don’t really care what others think.

Block III [IMG]http://file/C:/Users/Jayden/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image006.png[/IMG]

1. What is beauty? Do you change your opinion about beauty? Does your understanding correlate with the generally accepted notion? What goes beyond the generally accepted notion?
I think beauty is subjective attraction, although there are people that look beautiful but I don’t find attractive. I change my opinion of beauty based on sympathy. My heart can make ugly people look more beautiful when I feel bad or like other aspects of the person. I think most people agree that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Do I need to quote that adage or whatever it is? I also recognize that there is a beauty formula or something that bases beauty on facial symmetry. That probably has some credit to it. I didn’t talk about beauty that isn’t human.
2. Please describe your understanding of a beautifully dressed person. What is the core of beauty? How do you explain what is beautiful to a person who has never heard about beauty before?
A beautifully dressed person probably just has good attention to detail and understanding of complementary colors and stuff. I cannot describe this well. The core of beauty? I don’t know. Sunsets, trees, colorful birds, A Clockwork Orange, and green eyes are beautiful. I couldn’t explain it properly to the person that doesn’t know beauty. I would be more interested in hearing that person’s perspective on life, given the special situation he/she is in.
3. Is there a template of understanding what beautiful means for everyone to use? Is there such a term as "classical beauty"? If so, what is it?
I don’t really know or care.
4. What is comfort? What is coziness? How do you create your comfort and coziness? How do others evaluate your skill in doing so? Do you agree with them?
Comfort reminds me of my mother, who is a rampant introverted sensation user. Coziness is the ceiling fan turned on, sitting with a blanket on the couch with some nice tea or coffee. I am not good at making others cozy. I am not very hospitable, although I’ve had very few chances to be.
5. How do you pick your own clothes? Do you follow fashion? Why? Do you know how to select clothes for different types of figures?
I pick them based on what I like and if they go with my other clothes. I don’t follow fashion. I know that skinny people shouldn’t wear baggy clothes and that black clothes are slimming.
6. How do you cook? Do you follow recipes? What do others think of your skill?
I follow recipes to a tee, or t. I don’t know which. I don’t do it very often though. I guess I follow recipes for baking and cook things that I already know how to make –easy things. I’m no chef.
7. Are you good at color patterns and mixing them and matching?
No. I ask my mother or sister if things match. Black and white go with everything. I like brown and blue together.
8. If someone is telling you what is beautiful and what is not, what goes with what color and what is not, do you agree with this person?
It depends on what my purpose for dressing is. If I care that day, I may ask and find out. I wouldn’t really let someone else’s opinion on beauty affect me, although it might. I tend to be sensitive to the views of people I’m close to.
9. Tell us how you'd design any room, house or an office. Do you do it yourself or trust someone else to do it? Why?
I would make a house look good for me. I would want to blend metals and wood. I would get help because I don’t want to do the work. I like contemporary, sleek, modern stuff. I would want it to have a timelessness to it too though. I don’t want something that will lose value should I decide to move. I would compromise between what I want and what would be good for the future.
10. How do you know if a person has bad taste? Could you give us an example? Do you always trust your own taste or do you seek opinions from others?
I probably wouldn’t call it bad taste. I would say the person has different taste and taste that is different from the majority. I trust my own taste but take other’s views into consideration. I am having trouble answering this because I don’t care very much.

Block IV [IMG]http://file/C:/Users/Jayden/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image008.png[/IMG]

1. Can you line up human resources and make them do things? What methods do you use? Can you press people? If so, how does it happen?

2. What is incursion? How do you deal with this? Can you repulse? How easy can you do it?
3. What does "my people" and "strangers" mean? When do "my people" become "strangers" and why?
“My people” means family and friends. “Stranger” means someone I do not know. My people become strangers when I begin to drift away from them.
4. Are there strategies of attack? Can you use them? When is it justified?
Strategies of attack against strangers? I am more of a pacifist. I may participate in some strategic bringing down of people I do not like, but that is all.
5. Do you think it's ok to occupy someone else's territory? In what situations?
One part of me says, no because it is someone else’s. Another part of me says that we don’t own this Earth or any territory. Whatever force has the power to take over a territory is in the okay to do so. I don’t really like weighing the moral stuff like this.
6. What are the methods of volitional force? When is it most effective and in what situations?
Speaking one’s mind, forcing one’s beliefs onto others, using propaganda to brainwash society. The most effective method is forcing others to believe what you. I have little desire to force my beliefs onto others and think “forcing” is wrong. Maybe a Socratic circle?
7. How do you protect yourself and your interests?
I protect myself and my interests by withdrawing from authority and people who want too much from me.
8. Describe your behavior in the situations of opposition and if you have to use some force?
I don’t encounter opposition very often. I would probably ignore it until it becomes too large of an issue to ignore.
9. Do others think of you as a strong person? Do you think you are a strong person?
Others probably think I am in the middle of the strong vs weak spectrum. I view myself as a moderately strong person.
10. How do you understand if a person is strong? Are there any signs of a strong person? What is the core of any force? Why do people listen to one person, but not the other?
I see strength as something mental. Being able to adopt the correct perspective to be healthy. I don’t really know.
Physically strong people have large muscle mass. Emotionally strong people use their emotions to propel them, I think.

Block V [IMG]http://file/C:/Users/Jayden/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image010.png[/IMG]

1. What is boorishness? Does your understanding of it correlate with the generally accepted notion? How would you explain what boorishness mean to a 10 year old child? How would you explain the same to an adult who does not behave ethically?
Crude insensitivity. I am more accepting of candor and rudeness because I have trouble filtering at times. I would explain to a child and an adult the same way. Boorishness is crude insensitivity. I would help look up the words in the definition of boorishness with the child. I thought that boorishness was more of an unevolved person who is animalistic. I didn’t know it was crude insensitivity.
2. How would you improve the moral of the society?
I would pray for everyone. I don’t really think that making laws that align with Christian beliefs keeps people moral. It just incentivized good behavior by threatening with positive punishment, so I wouldn’t do that. I would have an anarchistic society where I would have missionaries roam the free lands and stuff. JK
3. Can you justify somebody's bad behavior by thinking that he/she wasn't taught how to do so?
Yes. I believe a majority of right/wrong is taught by parents. Most of this stuff isn’t biological.
4. Give us your understanding of love. Can you love and punish at the same time?
Love is sacrifice. A parent sacrifices his or her time to punish a child. I think of love as the commerce of time and energy. You can love and punish at the same time.
5. Have you heard about the Southern hospitality? Everything is for the guest. There is also a German hospitality – the master of the house is always right. What method is the right one? Try to evaluate without the weight of any cultural aspects, traditions, nations etc.
I like German hospitality because it is different from American. I would want Southern hospitality when I am a guest and German when I am a master.
6. What is sympathy? When do you need to express it? When is it advised not to?
Sympathy is pity. I don’t feel bad for people very often and when I do I express it with an “Oh”. It is not good to feel bad when people don’t want it. Empathy is better.
7. Are there any norms of behavior in the society? Do you follow them? Do people always have to follow them? Why?
Yes. There are customs that people follow. I follow them when they’re convenient and routine. I don’t smile at people, which seems to be a norm for some people. One does not always have to follow these rules. We have bad days and times when other things are more important – the majority of the time. I’m not a fan of extroverted feeling.
8. How do you know what attitude among people is right or wrong?
I don’t.
9. What does moral mean? What is immoral? Does your understanding correlate with the others? How can you evaluate the correctness of your own understanding?
Moral means acceptable to the majority. Immoral means not acceptable to the majority. I am more detached from morality than others. I base my correctness more on my desires, thoughts, and feelings.
10. Somebody is giving you a negative attitude – what is your reaction? Could you show your own negative attitude toward someone else? If so, how? Could you give a person the silent treatment? How easily do you forgive people?
We all feel hopeless at times. The person should put aside his/her troubles and complete the work assigned to him or her. Unless it’s me. I would need to wallow in my misery. I can give people the silent treatment. I forgive easily because I stop caring.

Block VI [IMG]http://file/C:/Users/Jayden/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image012.png[/IMG]

1. "Whole world does not cost one tear of child" – how do you understand this phrase? Do you agree with this opinion?
It sounds like a Russian speaking English. I understand the phrase as: the tears of children are more precious than the world. That is a little bit extreme.
2. Is it acceptable to express emotions? Give examples of inappropriate expression of emotions.
Yes, for others. I don’t do it often myself. I internalize what I feel and explore it on my own. I think it’s nice that other people cry in public.
3. Can you use negative emotions? In what situations?
Yes. You can paint your depression away. Anything can be utilized.
4. How do you express negative emotions? What does it look like? What do others think about it?
I express negative emotions by whining to my family and being bored. I do very little when I have negative emotions. I just wallow and look forlorn. Stare out of the window and cry on the inside. Others don’t really understand. My sister, who I think is INFj, is the most understanding in my family.
5. Shallow emotions – what does it mean? Are there any other emotions?
Some expressions of extroverted feeling can seem shallow. In a different sense, my emotions can feel shallow –lacking depth – when I detach from them.
6. What are right or wrong emotions?
I don’t care to try and determine this. Feel what you feel.
7. Can you change the emotional state of yourself? Of others? To what side – positive or negative?
Yes. You can use body language to try and change it. You can breathe in and out slowly. You can also go for a walk. Change your perspective, change your life!
8. What does it mean to "pour out your emotions"? How does it happen?
Vent to other people. Put the emotional weight upon their shoulders and let them deal with it. You can pour your emotions onto the canvas or paper.
9. Does your internal emotional state correlate with what you show externally?
No. Externally, I may have little ticks that tell what I am feeling, but I try to stay stone faced and calm-looking all the time. I look mean though and look unapproachable and it may be why I have no friends.
10. Do you track what mood you are in throughout the day? Do you notice the mood of others?
I track my mood sometimes. Other times I ignore it. I have to be quiet and alone to know what I am feeling. I notice the moods of others, when I pay attention to it. I can tell when people are upset based on how they’re speaking, I think.

1. Do you like surprises?
I can appreciate that I was surprised and it would be nice because it is rare that I am. Perhaps that is what I need. I normally like to know what is going on but I want to be shocked and jolted out of my malaise.
2. How people change? How do you feel about those changes? Can others see the changes?
People change by going to rehab or behavioral modification stuff. There is truth to the idea that people don’t change. They probably just become who they are. That sounds a bit dogmatic and fate-like so I don’t know. I think my changes are more internal.
3. Is it true that whatever happens is only for the best?
No. It is not true. That’s a stupid saying.
4. What do you think of horoscopes, fortune telling etc.? Do you believe in luck, lucky fortuity?
It’s sort of dumb. I look at fortunes in fortune cookies only for fun. I wouldn’t place my hope in something so unreal. I wish I could tell the future.
5. Can you forecast events? Is it even real?
I am probably in the place where I predict what is going to happen in my subconscious and am not surprised by things when they happen. If I have introverted intuition, I don’t utilize it well. Am I too unhealthy to be typed?
6. What is time? How do you feel time? Can you "kill" time? How?
I would like to kill time. I would like to live outside of it. Oh, “kill time”. Yes, I watch TV and watch the paint dry. I feel time like a cinderblock that is causing me to sink to the bottom of the ocean. That is very dramatic. I feel like time is a good way for us to all know what time it is but external organization is a bit useless. We make it ourselves. I think I may be overly introverted and weary of the outside world.
7. Is it easy for you to wait for some important event? What if you don’t know when it is supposed to happen?
I live my life in waiting. I imagine myself in another life as a housewife, waiting for my philandering husband to come home. I don’t know if I’m joking or serious. I get very, very excited about packages coming. I used to obsessively check the tracking progress. Now, I am calmer about it. I think I’m pretty passive about waiting, because it’s a passive thing.
8. Do you need help creating forecasts and determining how something will end? Do you trust those forecasts?
It is good for forecasts to be rooted in the external world so I may require assistance from others to have a solid “forecast”.
9. Are you normally late? How do you react if someone is late?
I am normally five minutes late to everything. I don’t really care if someone is late unless I am anxious and impatient.
10. Imagine the situation where you agreed to meet with someone. Your feelings and actions: a) 20 minutes before the meeting starts, b) 5 minutes before the meeting starts, c) it is time for the meeting to start, but the person is not here, d) 20 minutes after the meeting start time and the person is not here, e) more time and the person is still not here…

A) Think about the person and the experience that we’ll have. I don’t really meet with people so I don’t know I would act in this hypothetical.
B) Rush to get there. Try and be calm and confident.
C) The person is not here, look around at the meeting place. Think about something.
D) This is a bit frustrating. I would text and see if the person is okay. Change my perspective to be okay with having a meal alone or coffee alone or whatever.
E) Probably have a great time alone. The way that I always am and may always be.

1. Is there a meaning of life? In what? Is it the same for everybody?
Yes. The meaning to life is whatever you assign to it. There is weight in that for me. I think it’s important that people assign their own meaning whether they realize it or not. I can be a bit nihilistic at times so I recognize the importance of meaning. It is entirely subjective to me. I am Christian and think that God also gives a bit of meaning to our lives but I’m up in the air about some stuff. Why? Why, God?
2. What should be done so people can be happy?
So that people can be happy, they should sit in chairs all day that administer happy drugs. People should strive for their own happiness. Nothing should be done. We can have government efforts that help improve quality of life.
3. In the situations with a lot of potential and volatility will you trust your own guts, logically calculating everything or will you ask people you trust what should be done?
Trust myself.
4. When you meet a stranger, what can you say about them right away? How do you know what this person is all about? Does it take long to understand someone's talents?
Hello. I don’t really think I judge most people because I don’t care about them. I don’t get out and don’t know how to do this.
5. Remember an interesting person and call out 5-6 qualities you think are interesting in them. What makes an interesting person? Are you an interesting person? Why? What if someone calls you "boring" and "not interesting"?
Enjoys reading, talks to me, imaginative, connected with person, pretty
I don’t seem like an interesting person until you get to know me. I probably look like I have a stick up my butt and am boring. If someone calls me those things, I would take it as a grain of salt or think about my boringness.
6. What opinions, from people who know you, seem: a) fair; b) not fair; c) hurtful; d) strange.
a) Just statements but I don’t really understand what justice is. The whole external organization and determining of right and wrong trips me up. Far is logical and… (O.J. Simpson was deemed not guilty in the court of law)
b) Not fair judgments about things people cannot control like appearances. (She is ugly.) But I guess it may be the truth so I don’t know. (I don’t know her but she is a dumb bitch.) Get to know the person.
c) Hurtful – truthful things that I know are right (You are insensitive and will die alone.) Oh my gosh, sister, you’re correct.
d) Strange – (I
7. Do you fantasize? What kind of fantasies do you have?
I fantasize about finding a job that allows me to enjoy work and funds my hobbies. I would like to make a difference in the world but I don’t know what. I fantasize about having mutant powers and control.
8. What qualities should a person have to be successful and why?
Deceitfulness, cunning, (maybe the two are the same), tactic, and social prowess
9. What qualities can stop a person from being successful and why?
Truthfulness (what is truth?), being unmotivated, philosophically inclined, having a family weighing him/her down, narcissism,
10. What is more important in life – to be a good person or be a successful one? Why? Is a good person always successful? If not, then why?
To do what you want. Fulfill your desires. Good people are not always successful. They’re successful in being good, apparently. Semantics are a nightmare. Insanity (depending on what one is trying to accomplish)
I like black coffee, dark chocolate (70% or higher), grapefruit, pomegranate and TV. Exploring life is important. I think therefore I am.
