#infp?

Introverted.

Probably Te/Fi.

Probably Ne/Si.

I think he's a J, he seems to think before he does, internalise information before taking action. Which would make him dominant Si? He's not an ISTJ. So maybe he's a P then. INFP. works pretty well. Fi Ne Te Si.

He does seem like an N, quite creative,INFPs make good authors.

INFP

anonymous submission, hope that’s okay.

i feel like my responses are way too elaborate but i’m in conflict about my type and i was hoping you could shed some light haha. no problem if you have too many of these, though!

Complete the sentence:

I am constantly: on edge, at least in public. In private the default seems to be coming up with ideas, I guess? Trying to be creative in some way.

I think constantly about: the things I’m passionate about (which tends to be fandoms and politics), or my own identity. i’m often debating over a particular element, not necessarily because I’m in any kind of real turmoil about it (though I am sometimes!) but because I’m just… enjoying thinking about it like that.

My greatest goal in life is: to become a music producer who can live solely on their creative output… and to write a moderately successful piece of fiction.

My favourite subject is: (I took this as meaning ‘in school’ but then my elaboration’s outside of an academic context) Music, especially when someone is actually receptive to my complaints about the majority of it, lmao. Also literature and film theory. (This may be relevant: I took film studies last year and I loved all the theory! But the practical work, as in directing a short film, was absolute hell; I was so bad at organizing my actors and getting them to do what I wanted. Plus the idea was too big to be effective for the maximum length, as in two minutes.)

I feel like I am: okay at this stage in my life, albeit somewhat naive and wishy-washy.

I don’t understand why people: are so opposed to positive social change. Also sometimes I struggle to get why someone can’t understand a particular concept if I got it first time, especially if it’s something contradictory. And sometimes I get frustrated because people don’t understand the things I say. I guess because my thoughts are a lot more coherent than my speech.

People don’t understand why I: disappear, sometimes for months, and then pop back up and feel able to resume the same conversation. Also why I’m so self-deprecating, and why I worry so much about academic stuff. I think they think it’s an insult to injury because I generally do get good grades (which they often equate to 'intelligence’ but nah). But I honestly just never want to presume to be in a particular position. Feels like I’m tempting fate.

True/False

1. I like helping people.

True, but only if it’s not at an extreme personal cost. 'Put on your own oxygen mask first’ kinda thing.

2. What is moral is determined by society, not from within.

True… ish. I interpreted this as 'the needs of those within society determine the moral path’. Not so much that those who lead, or have ledsociety have the right kind of morality… because often they don’t, and often they’re massive egotists. Does that make sense??

3. I am considered “irrational” to many of my friends.

False, but I’m not sure if they’ve never thought that.

4. I am idealistic.

True

5. I value hard facts, not what they could mean.

False

6. I speak very quickly.

False, at least by default

7. I have no filter.

False, but I come close when I’m really comfortable with the person i’m talking to.

8. I am practical.

True, but that might be based on necessity (as in, 'I want good grades so I have to approach it practically’… or, 'I am gonna be a poor college kid next year and I need to, you know, eat, so I shouldn’t blow all my savings on video games’); I’m not sure.

9. I like being able to tell other people what to do.

False for the most part. Sometimes I wish I were more commanding because at least people would be more predictable.

10. I like to read.

True

11. I have so many dreams, I couldn’t pick just one to follow.

True

12. I have more than 3 strong interests.

True

13. I turn in homework or work on time. 

True, if barely.

14. People can rarely tell what I’m feeling. 

False

15. I strive to be different.

True. I’d love to say I don't go out of the way to be unique and/or awkward but with certain stuff (especially choice of media, so, you know, relatively unimportant stuff) I just can’t be bothered with the majority opinion. I’m suspicious of unanimity.

16. Conflict does not bother me. 

False.

17. I am not easily bothered by issues like discrimination and sexism, even if I have an opinion on them.

False.

18. I am articulate.

True… with some editing. Not in a social (e.g. speaking) context, and certainly not while writing this, lmao.

19. I enjoy empirical science. 

False. Flawed theories tend to interest me more, both in terms of their concept and in picking apart all their different faults for myself, if I’m familiar with the field. 

20. I mostly read non-fiction.

False

21. I am constantly doing things.
