Thread: I don't know who I am

  1. #1

    Default I don't know who I am

    Hi, I'm new. Have read about socionics and jungian typology in general. Always been obsessed with my trying to know my personality.

    This is my blog: http://diaryofamaninlimbo.blogspot.com

    Would be nice if you guys could type me based on what I posted on the blog.

    I think I might be E/INT/Fp/j.

    In terms of functions, leading function would be probably Ni/Ne...more possibly Ne but I need to know more about both Ni and Ne.

    So yeah, great to be here.

    Please read the socionics functions in the link in my signature. Which do you relationship to and how do you use it
    -
    Dual type (as per tcaudilllg)
    Enneagram 5 (wings either 4 or 6)?


    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

    Hi,
    I think it would be most productive for you to look at doing Socionics tests first: http://www.the16types.info/vbulletin...ocionics-Tests
    and then reading more about the most likely types.

    Lack of empathy, self-hatred...I think you could very well be LII. Reading more about the types yourself will help. Are you willing to make a video?

    I don't know if it's possible to change one's personality?

    I had a few major setbacks in the past few years that I think have made me quite different.

    Also, I've been on psychiatric medication for a while.

    You can't change it, but you can learn about it and how to maximize your strengths and minimize your weaknesses.

    I would recommend looking at the test results as a tentative conclusion - tests don't always work when it comes to socionics.

    Generally speaking you can change your personality. People change all the time for the better or the worse.

    In terms of personality types in general it is assumed that you cannot change your type though. The premise of personality theory is that there is something static behind all the change in one person.

    Different theories handle this differently. Socionics doesn't focus so much on "growth" or "development" being a rather static oriented model.

    Comparitively enneagram has a full dedicated part in its theory about how types grow or develop.

    Big five again basically just describes where you are now on five factors, no static type implied.


    So the answer to your question depends on who you ask
