Re: How would you define your personality?

Hmm... my personality. Well, I'm a pretty straightforward person. I'm not shy about my opinion but I feel that sometimes I'm too forceful with it, which can intimidate/offend people, but it really depends on the subject matter. I really don't like people who say 'oh I'm so blunt' because usually that just means they are purposefully rude, and while I like to be honest I think it's also important to be tactful.

I pretend to not care about things, and on the outside pretend nothing upsets/offends me. I think it's just an efficient way of being because people feel more relaxed about telling you the truth if they think it's not going to upset you. But actually in certain situations I can be pretty sensitive, but it depends what it is.

I like to get things done and success is important to me. I'm not maternal at all, and my career is my main life goal. Some people find it weird but I think it's their problem, if they want to judge me because I don't want kids. I'm usually project manager of things but I've slowly learnt to work more as a team instead of being really annoying and trying to take over everything >.< I also try my best to see the good in people. Sometimes I get annoyed because I push myself too much and no matter what I achieve I'm never really happy with it; but I think in the end you have to go back and think logically and not feel too bad about it.

I get on well with people who are a bit quieter and more relaxed, because they chill me out when it's needed and I generally stick up for them when they are too shy or uncomfortable with it.

I love my friends and family and I'd do anything for them. <3 I think that's pretty much it >.< lol

INTP just like everyone and their mom on the Internet

I live for discoveries of random knowledge, showing off ideas and leveling up skills. If I can't talk to someone about either of those, the Internet, or nerd culture I have a hard time talking to them at all, though I can always fall back on food. If I don't believe in what I'm working on, I get depressed. If I don't have a sense of where I'm going, I get even more depressed. The more I have to put up a front or act in a backhanded way the more depressed I get. Being an upstanding adult with a respectable profession is depressing.

I don't care to be an upstanding adult, and respectable professions are dying anyways. So I'm going rogue.

I actually wrote this in graduation transitions (teachers and interviewers can see it):

When I go to a restaurant, I will walk my table by counting my footsteps and
looking at which floor tiles I step on, before sitting down, I must make sure I have
made a multiple of five steps. When I order food, I always choose the same item I
have ordered in my previous visits. If someone asks me “How is the food?”, I will
always answer “very good”, even though there are other adjectives including
“wonderful”, “delicious” and “fabulous”. I am a shy person because I was
struggling to make friends in my childhood. I have two hypotheses about the
cause of shyness: (1) Transferring schools for over 5 times and (2) the inability
to pick up new spoken languages and adapt to Chinese dialects like Cantonese.

Well, this is one of the most interesting threads I've seen in a while.
Personalities are complex things and really can't be just slapped down and patted flat into one of what? Sixteen? categories. But~ don't let me spoil your fun, so...
Personality type: INTJ

In addition to that, I guess I could be called 'eccentric', due to my strange habits.
@ SHiNKiROU: I have a similar habit- whenever I walk across ANY tiled floor, I only walk in L-shaped spaces, as if I was the horse in a chess game.
Image Like that.

When I walk across the sidewalk, I tend to walk in a short-long-short-long stride pattern and skip over cracks (no, I don't think that if you step on a crack you break your mother's back, I am not superstitious, it's a habit).
Image Like that.

Also, whenever I spin my locker's combo I first spin it ten times, then go to my first number.

I tend to like numbers that either (ordered by priority)
  • a. are factors of 5
    b. are even
    c. are perfect squares (includes 1); or
    d. have some sort of visual, not numeric, pattern that is not simply the repeat of a single numeral (such as 2020, 2002, but not 1111)
So if I had 17 cookies I would probably give 2 of them away (or eat the 2) then keep the 15 forever and ever and ever. And if I was extremely hungry I would possibly eat another 5, but keep the 10. After that, if temptation struck, I would eat 5 more and leave 5. At the point of starvation I would eat 3 more, but leave 2. Does this make sense? It shouldn't.

I set my clocks anywhere from five to ten (sometimes even fifteen or twenty) minutes ahead of standard internet time so that I'd feel rushed, accomplish things faster, and arrive early or on time to appointments.

Are the things described a result of perfectionism? BTW this is 1764 characters.

((Note that I am working from the profiles at www.16personalities.com/ and not from the other site listed here. This is where I took my last test before this and I wanted to stay as close as possible to past results... and they were interesting.)
There is a major problem with the Jung Typology Tests. It's never 100% accurate all the time, every time.

I took this test a couple years back and I have taken it multiple times since then (including 5 minutes ago). I always get one of two personality types: INTP or INTJ. Today? I got INFP.

As I said, the major problem with this test is because it is never 100% accurate. This is because, over time, your personality will inevitably change. Even over the course of a few days your answers to the test may vary (hence why I switched between the P and J of the first two results, which I got around four or five times each).

According to the test I have two things set in stone about my personality: I am an introvert (true) and I am intuitive (relying on my imagination or focusing on ideas, which is also true). T is the same in two separate moments, as is J. T (Thinking) means that I focus on objectivity, rationality, and I suppress my feelings (which is, unfortunately, quite true with my lot in life as it has been) while J (judging) means I prefer clear rules and guidelines, I seek closure, which is true. However, another trait of J is that I am eager to commit and I have no problem admitting that that TERRIFIES me sometimes. Actually, a lot, because I am afraid of failure.

P I have gotten it multiple times. It is Perceiving, and as well as seeking freedom and relaxed about work it means I am afraid to commit. This is also very true for me. Then we have F. F, Feeling, has never once appeared for me in any singular take of this test before. It means I am sensitive, which is true, and that I follow my heart, which is also true. But it also means that I keep my feelings close to the surface and focus on harmony and cooperation. The former is extremely difficult for me to do, however the later is something that I have attempted in the past. I am not at all surprised that, as I begin to open up to people, this would show up on my test.

Now do I think I am an INTJ? No. One of my ex-roomies is an INTJ to a T (pardon the pun) and I am in NO WAY near as confident as a real one is. I am no Vladmir Putin nor am I Gandalf the Grey.

Do I think I am an INTP? Sort of. However, the personality type seems a bit cold in the emotional department for me now that I have begun to open up. I'm not Albert Einstein either, but perhaps someone closer? (Though not in the smarts department, he has me beat for eternity.)

This brings me to something I have only recently admitted: I lie to myself. A lot. I put myself down. A LOT. I am a pessimist when it comes to what I can do and how I do it. A LOOOOOT. So, in a way, you could assume that I am also lying to myself when I take these tests, at times making my answers more positive or negative depending on how much I like or hate myself that particular day. So I began wondering... since I am opening myself up to, well, myself, could all these tests be correct in a way?

What if I'm something I've never gotten. What if I am INFP?

... well I'll be damned, reading up on it? I think I pretty well fit that profile when I am being honest with myself (especially the "sees good in everyone" bit, I am hopeless for that). Who'd a thunk it? Now I don't fit it to a T (ha), no one fits any personality profile to a T. I tend to lean a bit more toward logic at times than this profile suggests, and I actually LOVE hypothetical discussions when it has the right subject for me. (In a sub page is says that this type take criticism too personally but that is one thing that doesn't bother me... from other people anyway.) But as a whole? I don't think I am too far off here. A bit, yes, but not as far as before. I'm no Shakespeare though, not by a long shot. Anne of Green Gables? ... maybe. Just a bit.

:lol: This is how I felt when I was researching my personality type. I remember feeling that something was "missing" when I identified as ISFP - I was like, "Well, this describes me, but it doesn't seem to think I should enjoy abstract thought, so maybe I'm just a 'special' one?" Then after I read more about the INFP type I realized I was a pretty solid N. And then EVERYTHING started to make sense!

I definitely think an NF could test NT under certain circumstances. In fact on a certain INTP forum I like to visit, there were a few people who identified as INTP who weren't sure if they were just a 'suppressed' INFP. I've also read people who say NF can be just as coldly logical as NT when they want to be... it's just that normally they default to Feeling over Thinking. In writing, I think as a general stereotype, NF writing tends to focus heavily on characters and their psychology, while NT writing focuses more on the logical implications of a given premise, as in science fiction. Both have their strengths and weaknesses, which means that NF and NT can work together to help each other strengthen the weak points in their work! :D

By the way this reminds me of a funny comic I saw the other day... I laughed because it reminded me of myself.
"It is [the writer's] privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart,
by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride
and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past."
— William Faulkner

I got INTP, which is semi-accurate.
I actually really enjoy spending large amounts of time with friends or family without feeling the need for alone time (for example spending a day out with friends, having a sleepover and spending the entirety of the next day with them), but when socialising with people I don't know, or don't get along with, I struggle and find it incredibly tiring. Also I tend not to think about people's emotions when thinking about solutions, but if it's a friend, I always do.

I don't really like having my beliefs questioned....so fairly accurate there. I tend to prefer routine work, because that way I can think about what I want while doing it, rather than have to think about something else while I actually want to be thinking about biology etc. I wouldn't describe myself as shy, nor would anyone around me, I don't like long conversations when I have little to say, but I can talk through them, albeit with some effort.

I am a very private person, I don't tend to come across that way because I am very open with my friends about most things. However there are some things that even my best friend who I've been best friends with for 8 years and known since I was 5 doesn't know. I do struggle to explain things when people don't get them the first time. I am not always honest and straightforward, if I think telling someone how I really feel will make them unhappy/worry, I have no trouble misguiding them, although I dislike lying to their face. If I think it won't hurt anyone, I am generally straightforward and honest around people I am comfortable with. Or online with people I don't know.

I'm never sure who I am. Not in a "Ohhh, I'm so deep. You'd never understand!", but in a "Where the hell do I go from here?". I'm very disjointed with the world as a whole, and I don't know why that is. The only thing I have to go on is that, It was only very recently that I found out that as a young boy I was diagnosed as being borderline autistic. A fact that was denied to me, even when I remembered the doctors and the tests so vividly.

I always want to do something different (frame of mind thing). I really noticed this when I was at college. When given a task, I could guess with a 90% accuracy what the other students where going to do. Nothing special on my part, they where being made a boring bunch by the tutors. Then again the calibre of educator we had where narcissistic boobs. I would always wait until everyone had started a project and look for something they had failed to look for, and I'd jump on it. Sadly anything unique I had was shot down by my tutors. The other students loved what I did and I found to my surprise that I was quite popular (strange when I think about it).

I find myself gifted from time to time with a silver tongue. I somehow got a job where the boss was so impressed with me that on the first day of work, he was more then happy to leave his business in my hands. (That's a story to tell the kids :lol: )

You might have seen some strange posts left by me in other topics. My brain starts to buzz sometimes and depending on what I'm doing, you can notice it. I have to get it out! If I don't, it will be lost forever (if that makes sense). E.g. Don't write a sentence. Tell a story!

You quoted me, not Sapphi, I'm not actually religious, I was referring to non-religious beliefs and my non-belief, for example, I am not a big fan of the death penalty, however I believe that in some cases, it is the right thing to do. This is based off my own morals, more than anything else, I do generally believe in the right to life, but if someone tortures/murders many people over years with absolutely no remorse, it is incredibly unlikely that they're going to change, and in such an instance, I would prefer that they be killed. If someone kills their wife and her lover, it is a different matter entirely and I wouldn't want them killed.

When I said 'questioned' I mean people trying to change them, my grandmother is a Christian, I used to go to Sunday school, my 3 best friends are all Christian. I personally stopped believing in God when I was 6 and a baby died and was on the news. When people try to convert me (mainly Christians, but that's the main religion where I live), I politely tell them that I am well aware of their beliefs, but that I personally don't believe in them, say bye and start walking away. If they persist in questioning my belief/non-belief, I will simply start to question theirs in turn. They do occasionally move to block my path and simply continue talking, which isn't really the easiest way to convert anyone.

No one has ever managed to change my beliefs simply by trying to push theirs on me, things that I would consider to be my beliefs are things rooted in my faith, or lack there of, and my own morality. Many of these are different from the ones I held when very young, and have changed a little, or a lot. I am considerate of (most) of other people's beliefs, and I don't try to convert random people into humanism, intolerant beliefs, like people thinking homosexuality is wrong, transphobia etc. are beliefs I don't tend to be particularly considerate of.

A very difficult subject indeed :(. (I don't know why the quote is under a different name, my bad I think.)

That was my point. There is a reason you believe what you believe and do what you do. I could go on about this, but, I don't think this is the right type of forum too start this line of conversation.

I've never understood that myself.

Seems like I am a ESFJ
Extravert(1%) Sensing(25%) Feeling(38%) Judging(11%)

"ESFJs at their best are warm, sympathetic, helpful, cooperative, tactful, down-to-earth, practical, thorough, consistent, organized, enthusiastic, and energetic. They enjoy tradition and security, and will seek stable lives that are rich in contact with friends and family."
I first thought to be introvert, but reading the description actually reminds me of myself indeed. So yeah, I am the guy that will bother people a lot and tries to adapt to them (with often resulting in being a noisy person that can see clearly through others).
Yay
