    Lightbulb Type Away!

    Hi,
    This is Schlar89 and i thought i would put a thread up concerning my type.
    I'm not putting up any pictures are videos, so please don't ask about it. I just don't feel comfortable doing that. I feel weird about typing stuff about myself anyway.

    I was home schooled my whole life until middle and high school. I don't have many friends, because of that. I have always been a introvert who would entertain my self by reading, writing, and drawing. It takes a long time for people to see my real personality since i am so shy.

    I love art and science, but i have always known that i would have a career in science. I remember as a child i loved to dig in the dirt looking for worms and other bugs. I also liked to look at plants after learning about them. Art was and still is something personal and a pastime that i do when i need to express my emotions.

    I have always been an overachiever when it comes to school work. This has caused me to put enormous pressure on myself to do well. I always did well in school. Whenever i didn't do well was, because of personal situations going on in my life.

    I don't know what else to type, so if you need more info please ask away.

    some options


    Talk about a social (as in, interacting with others) situation where you felt like you positively contributed or did something important, something that made you feel good.

    Then describe a situation where you felt like you were asked to contribute or participate in a way you didn't feel comfortable, or where something set you the wrong way.

    Explain your avatar.

    Explain what you mean by 'career in science'?

    My avatar is the greek goddess Athena.
    It's from my love of reading greek mythology.

    The career in science thing: As a child i always wanted a microscope and i thought about being a doctor, astronaut and many other things in science. Now i am fairly sure that when i go back and finish college and grad school that I'll become a Biological scientist and professor.

    A social situation that i like i contributed something and i felt good about it Whenever i am able to make someone laugh which is not very often.

    When if felt uncomfortable to contribute something: Whenever i am around people smarter than i am and i have nothing to say about a subject. I do not like feeling dumb.

    Eh...

    Socionics isn't about what people do, it's about why the do it.
    So it's about motivations.


    Why do you like to make someone laugh?
    Why is greek mythology appealing to you?

    Why have you always been an overachiever? Family pressure, cultural norms, other reasons?



    Tentatively, some sort of Ti dominant, LSI or LII.

    Oh sorry i don't know much about socionics.
    Lets see.
    Greek mythology is interesting, because it gives me an idea of the beliefs of the ancient greeks. It also plays into my love of stories and reading. I like that the gods were well thought out and how myths affected the daily lives of the greeks. It mixes my enjoyment of reading and learning about other cultures.

    I like to make people laugh, because i am always a serious person thinking about hot button issues and my view on things. Its nice to have fun with my family and friends since i can be, so introspective. This helps me to stop worrying about school work and what i need to do. When i make people laugh it also helps me live in the moment and stop thinking about future worries.

    I have always been an overachiever, because of my grandmother who home schooled me instilled in me a drive to be the best. I also have this view if i can easily get Bs in school why not work hard and get As in school. I just cannot stand failing in anything.

    Why is learning about other cultures important?
    And in what ways were the gods well thought out?

    Give an example of a hot button issue, and your view on it.

    Its nice to have fun with my family and friends since i can be, so introspective. This helps me to stop worrying about school work and what i need to do. When i make people laugh it also helps me live in the moment and stop thinking about future worries.
    What is a future worry?
    And why do you care about them?
    And, of course, the typical question: "Do you spend more time thinking about the future or what is going on in the present?"

    I have always been an overachiever, because of my grandmother who home schooled me instilled in me a drive to be the best.
    Can you elaborate on that?
    Or at least, talk more about your grandmother, and your relationship to her.

    I also have this view if i can easily get Bs in school why not work hard and get As in school. I just cannot stand failing in anything.
    Why is failing something you cannot stand?
    That's sort of an odd question, sure. I don't think anybody likes failure.




    Also, you seem to have a pretty clear idea of what you want to do for a career. Do you consider other options besides a career in science or teaching science? Or have you made up your mind fully and don't intend to change it?
