Cure my type doubts

[Galen]

'type me' threads are better than introduction threads

I've been fairly certain of my type for some time, but recently I've had some doubts, so now I turn to the internet for help. I'm not completely sure what kind of info I should put down so I'll just ramble a little about myself:


Currently a student of Japanese in the hopes of becoming a translator.
A producer of music, originally considered as a career but now more of a hobby.
Pretty much a homebody, but will jump at the opportunity to hang out with friends.
Not much of a reader, at least in the sense of literature. If the subject interests me however, I won't stop reading about it.
Best high school subjects were mathematics and music, although music is more of an elective so I don't weigh it as much; worst was/is history.
Plays the drums.
Great fan of music video games. Consequently, holds great disdain for most American music video games. "If it's not in an arcade, it's not worth playing".
Very averse to argumentation; somewhat averse to criticism, much prefer to critique myself than have others do it for me.
Tend to hold high standards for myself and get upset when said standards are not met.
Call myself a 'practicing atheist', basically agnosticism but without any sort of 'benefit of the doubt' that I tend to associate to agnosticism.
Enjoy making things, whether it be music, origami, papercraft (basically origami with scissors and glue), K-Nex models, etc
Played Magic the Gathering, but ended up stopping due to my avid dislike of losing.
Have several GBs of furry art on my hard drive, all arranged by species and artist (fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck)
Often have doubts that I am living up to my full potential
My sense of humor mainly comprises of sarcasm and witticisms
Sometimes have morbid 'what if' thoughts that I am unable to shake for some time, especially at night
Sometimes, not very often though, cannot distinguish a dream from reality
Tend to have difficulty relaxing, especially when trying to sleep



If more information is requested, I will provide.

Call myself a 'practicing atheist', meaning I can't say that there is no such thing as God/spirits/ghosts/what have you, but I don't live my life assuming that such things exist.

= Agnosticism

edit: don't know what the Japanese pull is for you, but like all the guys I knew in Japanese class were alphas. I miss Japanese class. Drunk Alpha: "My hands feel like blocks!" lmao

[xkj220]

I am tempted to say SLI with this information you have presented.

[Galen]

= Agnosticism

Basically, but it sounds much more ornate when described in the manner above.

My attraction to Japanese is really just the sound and construct of the language. Culture, not so much.

I guess I'll edit the first post with other information about me. I assume this isn't the place for VI, but if pictures are wanted I have some at the ready.

You've come to the wrong place.

You don't seem very connected to your surroundings. I expect you to drop that camera at any moment.

Yeah I think the regret is starting to sink in ffffffffffffffffffff


If it helps at all, I've considered myself to be EII for some time, but recently I've been doubting this title and have been thinking ILI instead.

Uh, can you explain to me more about your thought process and what you try to achieve, since you have such high standards and such. What exactly does this compose of? and just generally try to give me more info about yourself and how you live.

[Galen]

As for perfectionism: when it comes to skills, like video games or cooking, I don't expect myself to be perfect right off the bat, but I expect myself to improve regularly. Academically, I expect myself to exceed requirements, and for said extra work to be reflected in my grades. When expectations for skills aren't met, I both get angrier and feel a stronger need to do better; kind of a visious cycle I guess. If I don't do as well as I know I could in school, I tend to feel very dejected and believe that I'm no good at anything. I almost feel as if I'm performing for the teacher, and if I don't do well for him/her then I am letting him/her down.

As for 'about myself' and 'how I live', I'm not too sure what I'm supposed to say. Could you be more specific?

I don't have an opinion on EII or ILI, but you look a bit like Warlord around the eyes and mouth.

Which one is Warlord?

[717495]

Hmm. My initial impression is ISTj, but would like to read on more.

[Galen]

Hmm. My initial impression is ISTj, but would like to read on more.

Well I don't think I have Se in my ego, as I neither respond well to force or exertion of power nor feel confident in exerting my own in most situations. That's more of something that my dad would do, and I'm not particularly fond of him.

Unless I'm completely off on what Se is.

Well I don't have a lot of information to work with on your personality that you have given, however I wouldn't say that ISTjs are keen on exerting force or keen on people who do that. I would say that because of Se, ISTjs are usually reactive and aware personalities, that do not necessarily have a strong internal ambition to exert power, as many have little desire to. A Ti dominant type would however be very keen on perfectionism and gradually correcting himself. I would like to keep reading on to get more information about you, but I still don't think ISTj is a bad impression at this point. INTj is also a smaller possibility.

Yes you will, don't worry the embarassment will only hurt for a while before it goes away.

My question is this..... I don't understand Furries..... I don't HATE them, hate is too strong a word....... but I don't "GET" them, get is the perfect word

Why do people get off on animorphic beings rather than on women.

To me its like two situations are laid before you.....

Situation 1 --



(except lets pretend the guy isn't in a fursuit but its a real animorphic being -- which doesn't exist, but whatever.... for the sake of argument)

Situation 2 --

The same but with an attrative woman

Now how is it people fantasize about the first situation happening rather than the second.... thats what I don't get.... I would understand it if you were somehow forbidden from fantasizing about the second situation.... but your not..... and thats what confuses me

[Brilliand]

Why do people get off on animorphic beings rather than on women.

Looking at the diagram that Archon posted, I find that the animorphic beings (not the full-animal) are woman-like enough to be sexy, while lacking enough of a human aspect to seem threatening - that is, they don't seem independent. Since they aren't real, it's easier to place them in fantasies without creating problems with reality.

[olduser]

you are probably ILE.

That's pretty spot on imo

The last thing I thought I'd be is some sort of extrovert :o

[Park]

EII

[crazedrat]

pretty sure about EII

[Gilly]

There is no cure for uncertainty. Learn to live with it.

[crazedrat]

don't let yourself be overly confused. you are EII, and you have certain qualities of ILI. That is all that needs to be said. LSI is no, ignore.

Really? You seem too confident in knowing someone's type from such a short amount of communication. You also seem not to know what an ISTj is if you're telling him to ignore it, when it is probably the most valid choice right now.
