Can't figure out my type. I'm torn between ILI and LII.
Tell me about yourself.
I am a very quiet person. I spend nearly all of my time in my head. I'm always thinking over possibilities and imagining what could happen in a given situation. I also spend hours completely engrossed in topics that interest me. This can go to a point where it becomes borderline obsessive. Socially, I'm generally anxious and somewhat aloof. I can have a very cold exterior, but when I am with people that I'm comfortable with, I can become funny and even somewhat talkative. This can even go to the point where I become almost hyper. I am generally very sympathetic towards people but oddly have trouble being empathetic towards people.
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'm still in school, but I've always been interested in the sciences and history. In history I always imagine how the world was and can easily envision these historical events. For science, I deeply enjoy learning about the mechanics of the world around us and the reasons for why it is like this.
What are your values, and why
I value altruism, sympathy, fairness, consideration, and using logic
What else do you do on a daily basis? What are your interests and hobbies? Why do you do them?
Frankly, I don't do much. I do the bare minimum of schoolwork every day and then go on to research topics that interest me ad nauseum and play video games with my friends. My hobbies are gaming and astronomy. Both of which have always interested me since I was a child.
Describe your relations with family and friends. What do you like and dislike about them?
My family can be a little too emotional and that can be annoying to me. Also my mom has mild anger issues which can also can make me annoyed. However, they deeply care about me which I appreciate a lot. My friends are in general trustworthy, always ready to have an interesting discussion, considerate, interesting, and intelligent. However, sometimes we get into, usually impersonal but heated, debates about sometimes small things. Usually, we put them past us once the debate is over though.
What do you look for in friends? In romantic relationships
In friends I look for someone who is interested in the same things I'm interested in and is always ready to have an interesting discussion. I look for someone who I feel won't betray me later on. In romantic relationships, I look for someone who is friendly, notices and cares about me, and is willing to be a close friend as well.
What conflicts have you encountered recently with other people? Why did they happen? Which kinds seem to happen on a regular basis?
I often conflict with people when I want to prove someone wrong. These conflicts can be about petty facts and are sometimes completely unneeded. I can also conflict with people regarding my opinions on political issues, which can occasionally get heated. This doesn't happen super often, but it does happen from time to time.
How would your friends describe you
My friends would describe me as Caring once you get to him, funny, cold exterior, anxious, and smart.
What do people generally see as your strengths? What do you like about yourself?
People sometimes say that I am good at investigating things and trying to figure out the root cause of what is happening. Frankly, there is not much I like about myself haha.
What are your weaknesses? What criticism do you often face from others? What do you dislike about yourself?
I am very regularly criticized for being lazy and unmotivated. People often say I have no drive and am not even close to reaching my potential. I dislike these behaviors in myself.
What things do you dislike doing? What things do you enjoy more than others?
I hate doing work that I am forced to do. Doing this kind of work is very difficult for me.
What goals, aspirations, or plans do you have for the future? How did you come to have them?
I plan to leave the state I currently live in. The state I live in is uninteresting to me. I'd like to live somewhere interesting and unique like California or Alaska. I also wish to be able to use some kind of research to be able to help others.
If you had enough money to live comfortably for the rest of your life without working, what would you do with your time?
I'd spend a lot of time travelling to new places, playing video games, relaxing, surfing the internet, spending time with friends and family, and finding interesting new hobbies.
What kinds of things do you do to manage and/or beautify your environment (your room, your house, etc.)? What do you think of daily chores?
I don't have a house yet and my room was designed by my parents, but I'd probably put up a few paintings and have some tasteful, yet minimalistic furniture. I completely hate chores and usually simply don't do them.
How do you behave around strangers?
I behave in a very aloof and nervous manner. I generally try to avoid interacting with strangers.
How do you react to conflict? What do you do if somebody insults or attacks you?
I react generally fairly aggressively. If someone insults or attacks me I genuinely get hurt and often try to hit back. Sometimes I become overly offensive and mean in response and can try to "hit where it hurts".
What did you do last Friday?
Played videogames with my friends mainly.
If you are doing a video you can stop here or choose from the rest of the questions as you like.
If you are answering in writing, please answer ALL questions.
What is something you regret?
I regret not being as open when I could've made new friends .
What are your religious or spiritual beliefs and why do you hold them?
I am an atheist because I find the idea of an invisible being dictating every part of the world too far fetched for me to believe. Also the lack of proof makes me think it is especially unlikely that such a being exists.
What are your political beliefs, and why? To what extent do you care about politics?
I actually care about politics a lot. I am a social democrat which is on the fairly far left end of the spectrum of American Politics. I feel a mix of a socialistic and market economy is the only way we can adequately provide for our citizens while encouraging adequate growth.
Would you ever be interested in starting a business? Why or why not? What role would you play in it? What kind of business would it be?
I would likely not be interested in starting a business. The idea of running something like that is too stressful and the idea that employees depend on the business's success only add to this. Also, I am too dreamy to adequately run a business.
What kind of work environment do you prefer? What do you look for in a job?
I prefer an environment that encourages creativity, each employee enjoys what they do, and each employee is given enough freedom to pursue their own projects that help the company alongside assigned projects.
What is or was your favorite school subject and why?
It was science because the idea the idea of learning about what causes what happens around us always fascinated me.
How do you approach responsibility? What do you tend to expect of others?
I generally place a good deal of importance on responsibilities, but often fail to remember them when necessary. I generally don't expect too much because I don't trust people very much.
Where did you go on your most recent vacation? What did you do there? How did you like it and why?
I went to Croatia, Slovenia, and Italy. I enjoyed the scenery and the great variety of culture and things to do.
What was your high school experience like?
I spent most of my time with my circle of friends. I wasn't bullied but I felt ignored.
If you were to raise a child, what would be your main concerns, what measures would you take, and why?
I would want them to have a balance of all the great parts of their personality. I'd make sure they understand what is right and wrong and how to treat others. I'd instill respect in them and make sure they both do well in school and are kind to others.
How do you see other people as a whole? What do you consider a prevalent social problem? Name one.
I think people are largely a complete mixed bag. A lot of people are so rude to their fellow people while others are respectful. I actually often view people badly though due to this behavior.
How often do you get angry? What kinds of things make you angry?
I get angry every now and then. One thing that really gets me angry is people misrepresenting what I said to others making me look bad. Another thing that irritates me a lot, is people who I'm comfortable enough to consider a friend don't stand up for me for superficial reasons.
What is the purpose of life? What do you find personally meaningful in life?
I think life is about how much change you affect onto the world. Changing lives or changing systems of knowledge in anyway is something that makes life meaningful. Also, a secondary purpose is to simply create enjoyment for yourself. Try to have fun because the mistakes you make don't change anything in the grand scheme of things.
How do you dress or manage your appearance?
I take a utilitarian look towards clothing. My go to clothes for most of the year is a hoodie and sweatpants. In the summer I will switch to t-shirts and shorts.
I know my answers are on the short side so I am willing to elaborate if necessary in the comments. I'll appreciate any responses. Thanks!
