Thread: Unable to self-type

  1. #1

    Default Unable to self-type

    Hey guys, new here. This is my first post and I have registered here in order to settle a confusion that has lasted for nearly three years. I seem to be unable to settle on a type for long. One thing that I am almost certain of is the fact that I am on the Ni/Se axis. I am going to keep this short, as there are quite a few questions to answer and by doing so I think that I'll hold your attention on the most important aspects.

    Tell me about yourself.

    Well, how do I start this. I think it is relevant to say that I find it hard to talk about myself in general terms. Specific questions I have no problem to answer. I am an intuitive person, quite empathetic, intelligent and goal-oriented. One problem that I have is with procrastination, but I always finish the task. For this reason I am able to maintain in the 10% of my class in college. I think a relevant addition here would be an occurence from my childhood. A teacher was telling a mithical story and I was running the story through my mind, seeing the events from the perspective of the characters. This led to me starting to cry because I was seeing the drama of the characters in front of my eyes, so to speak. I feel kinda embarassed to talk about things like this, but I do for the purpose of this thread.

    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 study law. I came to do this because I thought the law field matched my personality, and for the posibilities that can arise from being a lawyer afterwards. I like to study certain fields, like Civil law and International law, along with the competitive aspect that arises from different contests in college. I dislike the dogmatism that some teachers manifest.

    What are your values, and why?

    This is a problematic question for me. I feel like I am not sufficiently aware of myself to answer these kind of questions with certainty. I value strength, self-discipline, emotional control, kindness, rationality. Because I think these fit with the ideal that I set for myself to achieve.

    What else do you do on a daily basis? What are your interests and hobbies? Why do you do them?

    Besides being occupied with law school, I got involved in a year-long contest. So that occupies most of my free time. Aside from that, I study psychology and religions. I like to drive very much. I love the rush that comes with driving at a high speed. Also driving at night with music playing. I feel like I get in a meditative state in these moments. Ni/Se, maybe. Also reading books, watching either pure action movies like Mad Max, or intellectual movies like Cloud Atlas. I would like to try sky-diving. I like both to the same degree, as both provide something of equal value to me. One stimulates my need for rush, the other my intellectual needs.

    Describe your relations with family and friends. What do you like and dislike about them?

    My relations with my family and friends are a bit distant. I like that fact that I can always rely on their support. I kinda dislike that we are somewhat distant, to be frank.

    What do you look for in friends? In romantic relationships?

    In friends I look for loyalty, intelligence, a bit of a wild side, the ability to have fun when the situation arises. I find that regarding my intellectual needs I can satisfy myself for the most part, so in friends I am mostly looking for someone that is able to have a good time with me. In romantic relations there can't be a compromise between the intellectual and the physical. I need a balance, so my partner needs to be both someone with who I can have an intellectual conversation, and someone with who I can have fun. Physical attraction is a must.

    What conflicts have you encountered recently with other people? Why did they happen? Which kinds seem to happen on a regular basis?

    Recently with a friend. I didn't think of him when I smoked somewhere in the house. These kind of conflicts, about not thinking about others needs, seem to arise on a regular basis. Not calling my family enough, not complimenting my girl enough.

    How would your friends describe you?

    Calm, reliable, logical, strong. My friends don't know my empathetic side. For better or worse, I hide that for fear of looking weak. I hate losing emotional control. Sometimes though my emotions get so high that I can't hold back.

    What do people generally see as your strengths? What do you like about yourself?

    The qualities that I described abouve. The fact that I am able to strive for self-actualization, for the image that I hold of myself in my mind.

    What are your weaknesses? What criticism do you often face from others? What do you dislike about yourself?

    I can be extremely stubborn. Indecisive if I don't have objective facts on which to make a decision. The tendency to get annoyed when people work on a task too slow. Kinda shy, but people don't see that as I hide it. Criticism related to the fact that I don't think about them, even though that is not necessarly true. I dislike about myself my shyness and occasional indecisiveness.

    In what areas of life can you manage well on your own? In what areas of your life would you like help?

    Studying, intellectual pursuits. Help in taking initiative more often in relations and building those in the long term. Also in household tasks. I procrastinate on cleaning.

    What things do you find to be a chore? What things do you enjoy more than others?

    Household tasks, paying bills. I enjoy more than others the feeling of adrenaline rushing through my body in risky situations. Also I enjoy intellectual pursuits more that most people. Though most people don't always see this side of myself because I keep relations with them on a mostly superficial level.

    What goals, aspirations, or plans do you have for the future? How did you come to have them?

    Finish law school in the top 5%. Find a high level job at a law firm. Take more initiative in relations. I came to have them based on the future that I envision for myself as a person.

    If you had enough money to live comfortably for the rest of your life without working, what would you do with your time?

    Try to experience as many things as possible that life has to offer. Hardships and bliss.

    What traits do you find endearing that others might dislike? What traits are considered positive/neutral by others but tend to annoy you?

    Well, in the opposite sex, the capacity to seduce. Same sex, being frank. Excessive and superficial smiling.

    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?

    Avoid clutter, harmonize colours. Hate them for the most part.

    How do you behave around strangers?

    Some would see me as kind of hostile, distant. Until someone enters my circle, I don't show much affection.

    How do you react to conflict? What do you do if somebody insults or attacks you?

    Rationally. I try to find if there is a valid reason for the conflict. If there is, resolve that. If there isn't, make it clear. If necessary, react the same.

    What is one common misconception that people have? Explain why it is wrong.

    About me? That I lack feelings. The level of sentiment that I can reach is deeper than most people could ever imagine me reaching. But I hide it to not appear weak.

    What did you do last Friday?

    Went to the mall with a friend.

    What is your biggest accomplishment?

    Finishing first in my class last semester.

    What is something you regret?

    Hesitating in owning some of my decisions.

    Who do you admire, and why?

    Real example, or qualities in a person? David Lynch. He's a genius, seems very deep.

    What's been on your mind? Has anything been worrying or concerning you? What problems have you encountered lately?

    Lack of motivation. Always needing a purpose to do something. Procrastination.

    What are your religious or spiritual beliefs and why do you hold them?

    My beliefs are in flux. I find it hard to believe in something without a bulletproof reasoning. Which is why I am not really religious or spiritual. Despite this, I try to bipass my intellect and just do things that would be considered spiritual to lead me to that path, even though my mind might find it absurd.

    What are your political beliefs, and why? To what extent do you care about politics?

    I hold mostly conservative beliefs. I used to have more liberal beliefs, but I think that some limits to certain freedoms must exist. More involved in politics than the average person.

    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?

    Yes. In order to develop myself and for the financiary gain. CEO. Law related.

    What kind of work environment do you prefer? What do you look for in a job?

    Clear delimitation of tasks. Friendly colleagues. I look for the prospect of advancement.

    What is or was your favorite school subject and why?

    Civil law. It is not black and white.

    How do you approach responsibility? What do you tend to expect of others?

    I hold it in high regard. I keep my promises. I expect the same.

    Where did you go on your most recent vacation? What did you do there? How did you like it and why?

    Italy. Visiting and partying. Loved the atmosphere, especially at night. It felt...mysterious, passionate, meditative.

    What were you like as a kid? How have you changed since you were a child?

    Very active in sports. Talented at all kinds of sports. Intellectual, less control of my emotional response. Very deep emotions. More shy, more introverted, less confident. Changed by becoming substantially more confident. Still talented at all kinds of sports, but less involved in them.

    What was your high school experience like?

    Boring for the most part. Much better in college. I was too reclusive and shy in high school.

    Talk about a significant event from your life.

    Recent break-up. Had to face my naked self and answer some unpleasant questions regarding myself.

    Do you like kids? Why or why not?

    Yes. Because they naive and sincere. Kinda like small animals. For the most part.

    If you were to raise a child, what would be your main concerns, what measures would you take, and why?

    Assure the respect of my kid. That he got involved in intelligent hobbies, like chess. Also that he got involved in sports, team sports especially. Guide him to those. In order for him to become a well-rounded individual.

    Ever feel stuck in a rut? If yes, describe the causes and your reaction to it.

    Yes, regarding socionics actually. Going back and forth between INxp, ENxj, considering ESTp, even ENFp. The causes revolve around the fact that I can entertain in my mind every posibility, to some extent. My reaction to it is to research the crap out of it and to become frustrated.

    How do you see other people as a whole? What do you consider a prevalent social problem? Name one.

    I see people as a whole as interesting. Well...I think that uniformity in people, the need to conform to superficial common interests, would be a problem.

    What do you do if you're not getting what you want? What approach do you use?

    Try to get what I want. Insist.

    Are you comfortable taking leadership roles? In what areas? Why or why not?

    Yes. In competitions regarding law school, for example. I love getting the whole team around a common purpose, organizing the weak spots and maximizing the strong spots of the team.

    How often do you get angry? What kinds of things make you angry?

    Funny. I get angry at the fact that I get anxious. Probably enneagram 6 related. Besides my anxiety: a condescending tone. I hate this. Also people that convey themselves as pitiful, as victims. Hate them also.

    What is the best thing that happened to you during the past week?

    Got accepted for an internship that I wanted badly.

    What is the worst thing that happened to you during the past week?

    Can't think of anything significant.

    What is the purpose of life? What do you find personally meaningful in life?

    I believe there are numerous paths on which one can walk in life. However, what I find to be meaningful, and what I think every individual wants, is to find self-actualisation. To become the best version of you that you can become.

    What is the most interesting place you have been, and why?

    A hotel in France. Had the opportunity to meet some very interesting people. The atmosphere was almost spiritual.

    How do you dress or manage your appearance?

    I dress very well. I have an innate ability to sort out aesthetics. This includes clothes and general looks.

    Do you like surprises?

    I would tend towards saying no.

    Is there anything else important about you that we should know?

    I believe this covers it.

    Well, those were a lot of questions. I would be very grateful for your help. Seeing as I seem unable to find a type and settle on it for long, I would appreciate a discussion as it would help me clarify my thoughts. I find that by speaking some things become more clear to me.

    Cheers!

    Ahhhhh so much to read. I saw ni valuing and unable to self type, so im going ILI from a standpoint of knowing little about you.
    Projection is ordinary. Person A projects at person B, hoping tovalidate something about person A by the response of person B. However, person B, not wanting to be an obejct of someone elses ego and guarding against existential terror constructs a personality which protects his ego and maintain a certain sense of a robust and real self that is different and separate from person A. Sadly, this robust and real self, cut off by defenses of character from the rest of the world, is quite vulnerable and fragile given that it is imaginary and propped up through external feed back. Person B is dimly aware of this and defends against it all the more, even desperately projecting his anxieties back onto person A, with the hope of shoring up his ego with salubrious validation. All of this happens without A or B acknowledging it, of course. Because to face up to it consciously is shocking, in that this is all anybody is doing or can do and it seems absurd when you realize how pathetic it is.

    Sorry about that, man. Many questions, tried to keep it as short as possible while also providing the neccesary information. Another thing: I care a bit too much about what people think about me.

    Add LSI to your list to consider.

    It's funny, I was just re-reading Reinin's description to send to someone as it's one I relate to, and reading your description of yourself just now, I saw you in it too. I don't know if that's because I was just reading it, and so started drawing connections that I wouldn't have otherwise, but here take a look and see what you think:

    http://www.wikisocion.net/en/index.p...Maxim_Gorky.29


    (Unfortunately as is the case with all descriptions, I hesitate to recommend them as a first-line in typing as they're not meant to be taken as absolute fact that must match 100% nor as some sort of hunt and find kind of thing, but if you've been looking for 3 years, you've probably already researched the elements and functions to their breaking point)

    I like LSI for you also. My impression is: clear, no bullshit, logical, competent, IJ temperament.

    Yeah, problem is that while I may be percieved as such, in my mind there can be many uncertainties. Going back and forth on questions, ideas, doing the right thing, fear of being incompetent. Find it hard to create and maintain routines(XXXp?). I also care for people more than they would imagine, and that is because I hide it in order not to seen as sentimental. This is my problem. Between the image that I have grown accustomed to emulate and that which I really am.

    An addition would be that I percieve realtionship dynamics better than most people. What people think of each other, different attitudes, repulsions, insecurities. However, that does not seem to apply as much to the relationships that other people have with me. In that I have some difficulties.

    Woooow people, we have another enneagram 3 among us. All the signs are there. Finally, my call was heard.

    Will go through the questionnaire in detail later *praise praise* You are very interesting. I'll stick around here. So far, first impression-wise, I think you're a Gamma type. If we can rely on Se/Ni being your values already, I got right away at the start and above is some .

    My first impression tells me LIE.
    Possibly 1Te subtype, or no subtype.

    Chae is right about the 3 fix, but I don't think it's necessarily the core type.

    How often do you get angry? What kinds of things make you angry?
    "Funny. I get angry at the fact that I get anxious. Probably enneagram 6 related. Besides my anxiety: (...)"
    This does sound more like 6(w7?) core.

    The tritype could be 631.
    So/Sp is a good possibility.

    Everyone, I think we've got an Elon Musk doppelgänger here.

    For those of you who think he could be Ne PoLR, consider the following.

    "The causes revolve around the fact that I can entertain in my mind every posibility, to some extent. My reaction to it is to research the crap out of it and to become frustrated."
    This is pretty much a strong (4D) Ne "problem", especially characteristic of LIE.

    Wouldn't a LIE be more decisive about this sort of thing, though? After all, I've spent 3 years trying to figure out my place in this system.

    Could be a matter of weak Fi. At least that is what it looks like to me, in the context of all your answers and background information.

    I've found that some people with weak Fi really have a weak(er) "sense of self" also.

    And then it could also be a matter of Ti Ignoring/Te valuing.

    Would you get different test results over the years?

    (And... a lot of 6s have troubles with settling on one type, because of constant doubts.)

    Yes. The only thing that truly remained constant was high Ni. Besides that, it would be a toss-up between Te/Fe, with Te mostly being higher than Fe(enneagram 3?). Always scored low on Fi and Ti. Regarding high Ni, I don't really know where to place my need for an adrenaline rush and the fact that I am naturally talented at sports, since high Ni would imply lower sensing functions(that I relate to this). Though the high Ni is sustained by the fact that I get insights, on a regular basis, that come out of nowhere about people, ideas, problems, and then I work backwards from there towards the answer.

    What I put in bold is the interplay or back and forth between Se HA and Ni Creative/Ne Demonstrative.

    Your results pattern and what you described there just reinforces my impression of you being actually LIE.

    Btw, how did you come across typology? Because of your psychology studies? That's how I discovered it.

    Same way, yes. I find its potential to be pretty big. It could be a good system to figure out some relations. But for that to be accurate I have to find out what I am first. This is why I haven't abandoned my search for my type for three years. That coupled with the fact that I won't rest until I have something figured out. It is 4:43 AM here

    In regards to looking at a typology system and trying to find where one might fit, and being able to see various aspects that could fit or not within a type in relation to yourself, then no, it doesn't have really anything to do with Ne. What it has to do with, is realizing that yes, there are aspects of almost all the types that could fit in some way. The issue is to find the best fit of course.

    I would like to point out something else, which kept me from asserting with certainty that I was a Logical type. I can get into a very strong emotional state when watching artistic performances. The beauty, the emotion, the meaning evoke strong feelings in me. For example, I was at a ballet performance and I had to hold back tears because of the emotional response that the scene evoked in me. I am like this in regards to certain movies, also. Scenes that combine beauty with deep significance evoke that response in me, to the point of tears. Then again, I hold that back and try to suppress it, for the aforementioned fear of looking too sensitive. Also, when someone laughs, if it is authentic, even if I don't know the reason very well, I can't help but begin to smile myself. I feel it as contagious. Wouldn't this be considered Fe?

    Damn, feels awkward talking about these things.

    Ego
    Sees the world as a world of meaning, ideas, puzzles and the solutions finding for the answers to his questions. In each situation he penetrate well into the essence of an object or phenomenon, its positive possibilities, proves and describes them in terms of global, abstract logical laws.
    To present his vision he builds an abstract system, a scheme, a generalized concept, which broadly justifies concrete idea, a guess or an opportunity.

    Super-ego
    is perceptions of willful resistance, pressure and protection are based on the generally accepted patterns and stereotypes. Understanding of human relationships and the ways to avoid tension in them are based only on his personal understanding.

Scenes that combine beauty with deep significance evoke that response in me, to the point of tears. Then again, I hold that back and try to suppress it, for the aforementioned fear of looking too sensitive. Also, when someone laughs, if it is authentic, even if I don't know the reason very well, I can't help but begin to smile myself. I feel it as contagious. Wouldn't this be considered Fe?

    Damn, feels awkward talking about these things.
    So do I. It can be embarrassing because I can't help it. But that also still fits LSI. Fe can affect them quite a lot.

Especially so if their colleague's relatives are ill, or a dog suddenly died, or a wife being unfaithful.

    I find it odd how people arrive at LSI.
    Compare him to @Number 9 large and his questionnaire.
    Entirely different.

    Disliking "excessive smiling" speaks rather against Fe valuing, btw.

    And this is classic -Fi (valuing):

    Some would see me as kind of hostile, distant. Until someone enters my circle, I don't show much affection.
    ^ That is basically how many ESIs act, being -Fi lead. LIEs are kind of like ESIs flipped over. LSIs are not like that.

    And this sounds like Fi seeking + 8 fix:

    What is one common misconception that people have? Explain why it is wrong.

    "About me? That I lack feelings. The level of sentiment that I can reach is deeper than most people could ever imagine me reaching. But I hide it to not appear weak."
    All in all, the questionnaire gives me no signs of "Beta values", it is pretty much Te+Se+Ni+Fi.

    Both LSI and LIE are "Feeling seeking" so to speak, so there will be some overlaps in that regard. But the nature of those "feelings" they are after is different. Fi vs Fe.

    While this superficially could sound like Fi, I don't think it is. Fi is more internal, about what a person themself feels and their judgements on that, as in: I like, I dislike, I feel repulsed/drawn/resonate with, this is good, this is evil. Fi lead makes decisions and judgements based on these things, Fi creative uses their feelings in support of their base. Everything tends to relate back to oneself with Fi, as in the judgements are based on how they would or do feel in a given situation. Just picking up on external cues through observation and drawing conclusions can be through a combination of different elements, though Fe polr would be naturally the worst at this as would other Fe devaluing logical types. (Because they wouldn't be picking up on the emotional cues (Fe) as well)

    And this is classic -Fi (valuing):



    ^ That is basically how many ESIs act, being -Fi lead. LIEs are kind of like ESIs flipped over. LSIs are not like that.

    And this sounds like Fi seeking + 8 fix:

    Both LSI and LIE are "Feeling seeking" so to speak, so there will be some overlaps in that regard. But the nature of those "feelings" they are after is different. Fi vs Fe.
    Disliking excessive, insincere smiling certainly is true for Fe valuers as well. You think they like insincerity? As for looking cold and standoffish - yeah, all the IxTx types can come across that way, though yes, LSIs tend to try to be polite and smile and try to look friendly. But you don't see yourself from the outside, so a person's assessment of how they come across to others isn't the strongest argument.

    Went through, YES: ENTj.

    Uses way too many extroverted elements to be an introverted type: what's rational and factual (Te), what's strong (Se), what's emotional (Fe), what's interesting and promising (Ne, very prominent and used all the time but unvalued, see surprise question).

    Essential weaknesses are all in the daily life - dressing excluded - or sentiment control realm. I mean, getting in a fight over cigarette smoke!

    Note the hallmark of ego: goals and future are set, but there's hesitation, procrastination, lack of forceful initiation. ego dual is needed. That has to be ESI to back up for the values part as well, and closing the distance in the relationship. Appreciated were: Friendly colleagues, dogmatic beliefs, conservativism, tact, and self-respect: all ESI.



    Won't change my Enneagram assessment, E3 all the way. Achievement focus, aspirations, wants to portray a certain image, can be hostile, monitors the way of coming across, wanting to be the best or first. Problems with getting in touch with one's true feeling, coldness. Can-do, almost robotic "get what I want", efficiency... it goes on and on. Phobic 6 anxiety is only mentioned shortly, the rest is all "ultimate 3 competitor".

    That even transfers to parenting:

    Assure the respect of my kid. That he got involved in intelligent hobbies, like chess. Also that he got involved in sports, team sports especially. Guide him to those. In order for him to become a well-rounded individual.
    A 6 would primarily want their kid to be safe and protected, not to be self-realized, busy, and successful right and left like oneself. Respect is also a 3 topic due to their self-worth premises. Also, note the kid's gender. You can't make a top dog out of a girl in this society, he knows that.

    I do try to be polite and smile, but I still seem to come across as distant. I know this perception may be biased, which is why I say this based on what my ex used to say to me. That nobody knows how warm and affectionate I am, that I should be warmer to people. Again, I can be warmer to people in general, but it does not come naturally. Basically with her I was almost the opposite of the cold shell that I emulate in public, acting silly and loving and such(here it came naturally). Read somewhere that results oriented types tend to do this.

    Also, people seem to trust me. Despite me being a bit cold, when 1 on 1, they open up to me(as in telling me some secrets, attitudes towards other members of the group). Guess they feel like they can trust me, and for this they are right. I don't ever make something that was meant to be private, public. I reciprocate by opening up a little, but I still mistrust them to some degree.

    I am quiet for the most part. But I am always checking where the group is going, how they are thinking, feeling and behaving. I intervene if something important comes up, but I am not good so with small talk. Again, 1 on 1, this changes. I know how to keep a conversation going and how to charm a person.

    Regarding the phobic 6 part, I think that I have become this way because some time ago I decided that whatever scares me, I plunge into it in order to overcome the fear. This led to my confidence growing over time. Still does, I have the same mentality(CP 6?).

    So.... Does this just continue until someone guesses the right personality type that you want to be?

    Wait, are you a girl or a boy? Cuz you talk about being warm and open with a girl.

    Lol. I just read your questionnaire. Not only does it read easily to me, but your answers to most of the questions are very, very similar to what I would have answered. My own typing is LIE-Te, 8w7, 3w2, 6w7, FWIW.

    Why law school? The prestige, or do you really have an interest in law, including the nuts and bolts of daily legal service?

    I hate typing this way, so I'll try not to be influenced by it, but you're the only person I've seen yet on this forum that I've read things of and actually really identified with, and could say "yeah me too" to almost all of it. Though, I don't think I'm all that charming 1 on 1 or in a group either one. Some people have told me otherwise but I'm unconvinced.

    Ok, so I'll put that aside and try to look at just the type factors that stand out.

    Adam, regarding law school, for the possibilities that open up for me. Also, since starting I have discovered that I am very interested in certain fields of law(as in like studying about in depth). As for the daily legal service, I have had the opportunity to get into an internship a few months ago for month and I still feel that this is right for me.

    Well, this is interesting. both LIE and LSI seem to relate to me.

    Oh lmao I thought you were a girl lol

    I'd skip typology and get some counseling for what you're talking about. Coping mechanisms and whatnot.

    Also, guys aren't supposed to open up and be warm, cuz that's a... Yeah...

    Sound Alpha though.

    LSI is out of the game. Look how you use literally ALL OVER EVERYTHING (red above, the irony). Never heard of an LSI who talks about taking chances and possibilities and whatnot in their career.
