Hey again. I'm doing this questionaire as a get to know myself excercise. My self type currently is 6wW INFx (could be EII or IEI...or maybe even SEI I think has been suggested before in another group). I'm torn personally on if I'm Si or Se valuing and Fe or Fi valuing, and trying to muddle through that internal debate, so any ideas and examples of where I show valuing/devaluing in this thread would be great thank you.
Ill post out the answer in stages
The Extended Questionnaire v0.2
Tell me about yourself.
What do you study or do for a living? How did you come to do that? What do you like or dislike about it?
I am a receptionist for a community hospital's Endoscopy department. I used to work in retail, since I left school at 18, and decided to switch to administrative work. The hospital is about an hour commute for me, which I don't mind, I quite like the journey time to 'think' and play music. I dislike though people making comments about how 'odd' it is that I take a train to work, and that I should work closer to home. It's their input in a patronising tone, as if I am an idiot for coming into work. There's no real full time work in my small home town you see. I commute to where the job market is.
I also dislike...two faced-ness which happens a lot in office politics. It makes me feel uneasy, and as if my input to the team is always under scrutiny, any mistakes magnified and used as weapons. I do however enjoy helping the patients come in; Im good at naturally calming them down and desire to be of use however small, even if All I am is a polite well wishing face on the desk.
Ideally I'd like to get into counselling work, or even become some sort of patient liaisons officer who's aim is to guide others and make sure people get the care and treatment they need.
What are your values, and why?
I value harmony, people coming together despite differences, since I aim for a safe, positive and empowering existence in life. I also value empathy/understanding others' points of view and emotions, and really do care (perhaps a bit too much!) about the happiness and sorrows of others. I like learning about people and considering new alternatives to reality and the unknown. Kindness also is what I enjoy seeing in life and I always try to display it myself. I believe that Courage is resilience, hope for a better future, and I believe courage is in all of us to some degree. Even getting out of bed on a day where you're empty with no energy or soul is an act of courage.
What else do you do on a daily basis? What are your interests and hobbies? Why do you do them?
I tend to play a lot of music. My tastes are eclectic; from Kate Bush to Ariana Grande, to Fleetwood Mac to Sia, Florence Welsh, Broadway musicals. I listen to it on my commute and tend to either play puzzle games, such as Gem Quest, I find it addictive. I sometimes write in my journal, or I go on Tumblr/Pinterest. I enjoy looking at Manga artwork and watching Anime series. As an art form, I like how they merge the fun coloured hair characters and batty storylines with a lot of inner sentiments about loyalty, hope, rising up against the odds to find oneself.
Describe your relations with family and friends. What do you like and dislike about them?
With my family, we are overall quite close knit. My parents, and brothers...but sometimes I do find that my parents can lack patience and understanding. They're quick to change moods and never seem to dwell on any upsets such as arguments, or mishaps in their work. So sometimes they become flustered and frustrated that I can't 'shake out' of my negative states and act as if nothing has happened. I do burden myself with ruminating about negative situations or my own bad moods. I can find them a bit too much sometimes and want them to quit nagging.
I suppose we all feel that way about family! My younger brother has autism though we are very close and do have a playful sort of relationship. I am very protective of him, and he can be affectionate with letting me rub his head and hug him. My elder brother I rarely see much these days since he is either at work or at his girlfriends. He has aspergers and I am protective of him very much too and do worry for him being manipulated by his girlfriend and friends. We do laugh a lot together too.
I do often worry a lot that I have to be the one after my parents are gone who will take care of them all by myself. I can feel lonely. I don't have many close friends. One girl from high school who I do get on with but she can be dismissive of my emotionality. Another one who is a family friend, very extroverted but quite highly strung, tends to only spend time with me when her other friends aren't free.
