Type Me!

[DEFUNCT]

Hi there!
Can you lovely peoples type me?

Here is a questionnaire:

What do you study or do for a living? How did you come to do that? What do you like or dislike about it?

Psychology and people. I went to undergrad for a psychology degree, and my friend asked me to help him write inspirational, motivational blogs. I don’t like the monotony of it, but I like helping reshape peoples’ perspectives. I don’t like the narrow scope of it.

What are your values, and why?

I value competency and consistency. I value consistency in values. A person does not have to live with the same values, but they have to be consistent in how they present themselves. I do not like hypocrisy at all. I also value curiosity because I want people to be open to different ideas and things in the world, and not just be stuck in their own bullshit.

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


I hate that question. I don’t really pay attention to any particular routine, because I don’t pay attention to the details, so everything is kind of a blur. I like reading and learning about psychology, technology, different cultures, dogs. And I also like eating out and doing some entertainment things. So, I’m halfway in between a homebody and somebody who likes to go out. I enjoy learning and exploration and I like exploration and having different experiences. I don’t like doing things on a weekly basis.

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


I usually have a lot of internal conflict between myself and others. On the surface, I can get along really well, and I know how to connect with them to get along, but ultimately, I don’t feel like they understand the underlying meaning of things that are important to me.

What do you look for in friends? In romantic relationships? For friends, I look for consistency and intensity. I also like it when something sticks out about them, good or bad, that I want to figure out. For romantic relationships, I look for consistency, kindness, intellectual stimulation, passion, curiosity, and reciprocity.

What conflicts have you encountered recently with other people? Why did they happen? Which kinds seem to happen on a regular basis?
I have conflicts with other people for reasons that stem from incompetency and lack of consideration. On a more regular basis, conflict comes from mistakes, stemming from incompetency. Miscommunications also cause conflicts.

How would your friends describe you?
Words that come to mind are: firecracker, demur, behind-the-scenes, “You don’t know what’s coming”, very easy-going, hard-to-read, empathetic, intelligent, analytical, calm, understanding of people, and emotionally fickle. I’ve had people say that I’m basically their translator for interpersonal dynamics.

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


People generally see me as tenacious and persistent. I’m a skilled writer, and I’m able to put complex ideas into simple terms. I’m easy to get along with. People generally say that I’m courteous and kind.

What are your weaknesses? What criticism do you often face from others? What do you dislike about yourself?
I’m overly analytical. I can be very stubborn and kind of emotionally intense and dismissive. I’m also too hard on myself. I’m kind of resistant to change.

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


I’m good at figuring out my emotional life. I’m good at putting together conceptual ideas and I’m a quick learner of ideas. I’m good at synthesizing ideas, which is useful for work. However, I’m not very good with practical details, such as those relating to keeping a calendar and doing admin types of things.

What things do you dislike doing? What things do you enjoy more than others?


I hate doing things that I have to maintain details with. I hate maintaining a schedule and I hate making sure that people don’t screw up on details. I’d rather focus on ideas and concepts and coming up with a plan or solution.

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


I want to be financially stable and I want to be successful and not be mediocre. Basically, I don’t want to be stuck in my life and I want to move upwards and strive for improvements. I just don’t want to be in the same spot a few years from now. That’s constantly what I’m doing – I always want to strive for change.

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


I would still try to live frugally and then use my money and then use my money for whatever I felt like doing. Some money would be spent having fun and other money would be for charity. And some of it would go toward extra degrees because I would want to learn and learn from other people, too.

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


I don’t mind people that are moderately non-PC or have controversial beliefs. The trait that tends to irritate me are those who are too passive in life. I want to be around people who want to strive for more beyond themselves.

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 try to keep it minimal. Too many things and clutter overwhelm me. Daily chores are necessary, but I drag my feet on doing them.

How do you behave around strangers? I observe them. I have a formal friendliness. I come off as very formal – other than that, I disengage

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


I just kind of disengage – for the most part. But, if it’s bad enough, I will. If someone’s yelling at me, I will detach because I don’t want to fuel it. However, if it’s a calmer situation, I will engage directly. I don’t actively get into conflict, but I don’t appease people in that I don’t give in to people.

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


It’s a common misconception that morality is binary, and that what is natural is good, and what is good is natural.

Had quality time with my SO

I liked research methods, logic, and statistics because I like how you could apply data to practical applications.

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

Yes, because I can’t figure out something about myself, deep down. Basically, if I’m trying to figure out an answer to something that I just can’t put my finger on, I get obsessive and fixated until I come to a resolution.
