• How old are you? What's your gender? Give us a general description of yourself.I am a 19 year old girl and if this means anything, even this question overwhelmed me. It’s hard to know where to start. I often times feel like I project different parts of my personality depending on who I’m with or how I’m trying to come off in a certain situation. I guess I’ll say that I am a pretty creative person and I like reading and writing - mostly fiction. I am definitely obsessive and will research something I love or am interested in to death - like a TV show or subject I’m learning about or even just a new medication I’m taking. This also mean I am constantly looking ways I can improve myself and be more productive towards my goals and I think sometimes I can come off as selfish to others because of this.• Is there a medical diagnosis that may impact your mental stability somehow?I have ADHD (which makes it hard to differentiate what cognitive functions I truly use and what is just my ADHD brain needing stimuli) and a smidge of anxiety.• Describe your upbringing. Did it have any kind of religious or structured influence? How did you respond to it?I was never raised religious. I was a pretty serious baby and child, according to my mom. I’ve been reading for as long as I could remember. I was brought up my mainly my mom because my parents got divorced when I was around three. As a child, I was pretty imaginative and funnily enough liked to steal my mom’s glasses and imitate her mannerisms. I was very fond of wearing princess costumes out in public and waving like a queen on a parade float - no clue where I got that from. I’m only child so I guess learned to entertain myself in my own mind.• What do you do as a job or as a career (if you have one)? Do you like it? Why or why not?I don’t have a job, I’m currently a student but I want to be a TV writer and have been pretty much been planning on doing something with writing since I was a kid.• If you had to spend an entire weekend by yourself, how would you feel? Would you feel lonely or refreshed?I would feel refreshed, I’m definitely an introvert and one of my favorite things is to have the house to myself and just do my homework and organize my room without anyone bothering me. After a certain point though, I want to talk to people and see my friends and sometimes can even be more extroverted than my ENFP mom - it usually just ends in me having to stay in my room and do my own thing for a few days because I’ve inevitably overextended myself.• What kinds of activities do you prefer? Do you like, and are you good at sports? Do you enjoy any other outdoor or indoor activities?I don’t like sports. I am not really a physical person at all. Nature isn’t super my thing, but I do like to go on hikes with my friend now because I like our discussions about the future and do tend to feel better afterwards despite my aversion to it. As I said before, I love writing and especially bullet journaling, because it brings me a certain peace to catalog my thoughts and keep track of what I’ve accomplished.• How curious are you? Do you have more ideas then you can execute? What are your curiosities about? What are your ideas about - is it environmental or conceptual, and can you please elaborate?I would say I’m a pretty curious person, and I love learning about other people and often form narratives in my head about them because I’m not the best at communication. For example, if I am close friends with someone, I’ll sort of subconsciously examine their behavior or take something they’ve said or told me about in the past and relate it to why they act a certain way or think certain things in my own mind. Later, they’ll tell me something I already sort of figured out about them but I’ll keep quiet so I don’t seem like a complete psycho. No one would suspect this of me because across a lot more loosey-goosey than I actually am and I sometimes startle people with my intensity.• Would you enjoy taking on a leadership position? Do you think you would be good at it? What would your leadership style be?I’m alright with taking on a leadership position, but it’s really not my thing, especially if it’s something I can’t really prepare for. In high school, I ran for secretary for my drama club’s student board and made this whole elaborate speech with a bunch of flashcards that I ended up not really needing because I was the only one who wrote a speech speech word-for-word - but I got the position. It was nice because I didn’t have the pressure of being the president, but I still could sort of bring my ideas to the table and gently herd people to do tasks that I think they’d be most efficient with - but I mostly talked to people individually and casually if I wanted them to do something so it wouldn’t seem like a whole thing. Generally, I’m more comfortable with following as long as the person is competent because it drives me nuts if I have to follow someone who doesn’t know how to plan things out where people are left hanging because they don’t know what to do.• Are you coordinated? Why do you feel as if you are or are not? Do you enjoy working with your hands in some form? Describe your activity?I am not at all coordinated. I struggle with being in touch with my own body and it’s hard for me to do a choreographed dance or something because I’m always really in my head and don’t even really think about my body or movement or anything like that. I do like working with my hands thought with a sort of mindless-but-not-mindless task like knitting because it helps me think. I also like yoga because it makes me feel more focused but I like to find a practice that’s not super woo-woo and more helps me clear the ADHD cobwebs out of my brain for awhile.• Are you artistic? If yes, describe your art? If you are not particular artistic but can appreciate art please likewise describe what forums of art you enjoy. Please explain your answer.I’m sort of artistic, I guess? If writing is considered an art, then yeah. I really like to go to museums and look at all the paintings with one of those audio headsets so you can hear more about it as you look at it. I love music and am always making playlists to go with a certain concept or vibe of whatever media I’m obsessed with. I don’t really see myself as a person who absolutely HAS to make art to express themselves because I like to write as a way to explore someone’s else’s mindset up. I really take my time detailing the character’s background that leads to the perceptions they have now and a lot of the time my “main plot” IS the character’s internal struggles and ways they change rather than only a facet of it.• What's your opinion about the past, present, and future? How do you deal with them?Despite the fact that I love learning about other people’s pasts, I don’t really think a lot about my own. I usually just tend to think about it in how certain things in my life have made me have the knowledge or lack of knowledge that I have. I think I’m more concerned with the future than I am with the present, and it’s hard to be in the moment when I’m always thinking about how what I’m doing now is going to affect me today, tomorrow, next week, years from now, etc. Sometimes, when something is happening to me in the present, I’ll imagine my future self on a talk show giving an interview about how that affected me.• How do you act when others request your help to do something (anything)? If you would decide to help them, why would you do so?It depends. I will usually help someone if they ask, but mostly because it’ll be a bigger inconvenience than if I say no and have a separate conversation about why I said no and then I’ll probably overthink it later and feel bad. I do like helping people when it comes to something I’m knowledgeable in, like revising someone’s essay or helping my S/O research his blood disease so he doesn’t get too overwhelmed by the information. I like cut-and-dry ways to help where there’s no manual labor involved (because that’s just miserable) or super heavy heart-to-heart conversations happening (because I just know that’s not my strong suit and really just is not that way I show my care.)• Do you need logical consistency in your life?Yes. I like things to make sense and I am easily thrown off-balance when I don’t understand why the things around me are happening. I drive myself crazy when I make a mistake I know I’ve made before and immediately want to have a do-over and correct it somehow. I’ve been having a hard time in one of my classes because one of my professors has so many jumps in his explanation of things that is missing how it relates to the whole of what we are learning. When I’m faced with people like that I tend to “correct” their ways in my head by envisioning how I would communicate and get my point across.• How important is efficiency and productivity to you? I feel terrible when I’m not productive. When I get off track and don’t set goals for myself for the day, after a few days somehow my room is a disaster, I haven’t eaten in 10 hours, and have managed to impulsively buy everything on my amazon wishlist. I’m a little all-or-nothing in that my productive days are really good and my nonproductive days are really BAD.• How good are you at strategizing? Do you easily break up projects into manageable tasks? Or do you have a tendency to wing projects and improvise as you go?I love making plans and like to physically write down what I want to accomplish, how it will get done, what steps, etc. It takes a lot of pressure off when I break things down and figure out exactly what I have to do to get something done.• How attached are you to reality? Do you daydream often, or do you pay attention to what's around you? If you do daydream, are you aware of your surroundings while you do so?I don’t daydream all the time, but I am always in my head, going down some kind of rabbit hole. I am wildly unaware of my surroundings when this happens, which is maybe 75% of the time. I’ve almost been hit by cars and have walked directly into people because I’ve been so in my own head. I’ve been told it’s hard to pull me out too and I get a blank, dead to the world face.• How long do you take to make an important decision? And do you change your mind once you've made it?When I’m trying to make a decision, I think about what will end up being better in the long run and how it will affect my future plans. I rarely have to make a pros and cons list because most of the time, I will always know the right decision for me. I recently decided to go to community college this year instead of the university I was planning on attending, and even though it sucks right now and my classes are miserable, I know it was the right decision to make because I’m saving so much money and having some college experience under my belt will give me a better chance to get into some reach schools that have amazing liberal arts programs. via /r/MbtiTypeMe https://ift.tt/3dr15fw
