Six of Crows (series) - Kaz Brekker

Articles that analyze anything relating to personalities and people really intrigue me (probably because I have a hard time understanding people and want to understand them better, even though I know personality tests and shit like signs only offer so much of a glimpse). I was reading this one and was surprised by how on point it was for me (Virgo). My train of thought led to wonder if anyone had looked at a correlation between zodiac sign (which is really a lot of bullshit to me, but curiosity kills the cat *shrugs*) and personality types/traits.

I found this article, which was really cool - it looks at correlations between MBTI personality type with other things such as enneagram, big five sloan, RHETI, and even Hogwarts houses (lols), and then analyzed the correlations based on the different axes of the MBTI and dominant/negative traits. I had to do a lot of the tests since I had no idea what these tests were, but found that I personally actually matched with the highest correlations for everything INTJs are found to be most highly correlated with.

Here’s a summary of my type for all the other personality tests/analyses (each personality analysis is linked to other pages describing the personality type:

MBTI: INTJ (I’ve already written a very in-depth post about my personality, linked)

Enneagram (RHETI): Type 5w6 (secondary: Type 3)

How to get along with me:

Be independent, not clingy

Speak in a straightforward and brief manner

I need time alone to process my feelings and thoughts

Remember that if I seem distant or aloof or arrogant, it may be because I am feeling uncomfortable

Make me feel welcome, but not too intensely or I’ll question your sincerity

If I get irritated when I have to repeat things, it may be because it was such an effort to get my thoughts out in the first place

Don’t come on like a bulldozer

Help me avoid my biggest pet peeves: big parties, other people’s loud music, overdone emotions, and intrusions on my privacy

What’s hard about being a five:

(Biggest) Being pressured to be with people when I don’t want to be

“Their thinking begins with doubting....  Observer types possess superior perceptual and reasoning skills, which, nonetheless, often fail them when it comes to understanding people. Although Five-wing-Sixes are very interested in people, they are at the same time wary of being overwhelmed by them and thus feel the need to erect barriers. Some of the most sensitive Five-wing-Sixes are too defended to be able to make the empathetic connections that would enable them to find out what others want and expect from them. Consequently, they may come off as socially inept. Yet Five-wing-Sixes’ principles and interests almost always keep them engaged in the world, often with spectacular success.”
