21F.

I'm curious what type people get from photos looking at my expressions, posture, overall vibe. I usually enjoy meeting new people (Uni, parties, dance), but also need plenty of time to myself to recharge after being social. I tend to get excited by new ideas and hobbies, so I'm always trying something new. Don't wanna reveal my occupation (Uni field) because it might lead to certain types.

Close friends describe me as friendly and easy to talk to, but I can also be pretty reserved until I feel comfortable (then I can get a bit too edgy). My big thing with psychoanalysis is to figure out if I'm a natural leader or I just do it because other people are afraid or lazy and this happens a lot in groups.

Hello. First of all, in Enneagram and Tritype I'm a 6w5, 694. So, because of this, I often don't have "faith" in myself. For example, I mostly get INFJ in tests (in one I got ISFJ), although I have difficulties answering the questions in the tests because most of the time I'm something like this: "It depends on the context and situation how exactly I react." So, I have moments in which I'm confident that I'm an INFJ, and moments (like right now) in which I doubt myself that I'm an INFJ. This makes me a little stressed out because of how uncertain I feel (as I said, it's the 6w5 in myself acting up 🤣), so can someone help me better understand which type fits me best? I have basic knowledge of cognitive function.

I attached a photo with my own notes from math class. So a little (most likely a long one 😅) background of the photo:

In middle school and high school I was average at math, although most of the time I had difficulties understanding how exactly to do the exercises. At that time, my IQ was around 95, I think. I did an official IQ test two years ago (I'm 27) and I got 120. After I finished high school, I went to a polytechnic university (not a difficult one, it was something between management and electrical, electronic and energy field). I liked the laboratories and I was good at them, but I had a class named "linear algebra, analytic and differential geometry", in which I basically failed the exam 3 or 4 times in a row. My brother tried to help me understand, but I just couldn't. It's because I just couldn't understand how you got from point A to point B, how exactly is the formula applied in the exercise? Then I dropped out of that university and I went to business administration.

There I had math again and the course was almost identical. At the new university it was during COVID lockdown, so we had the classes online, on Teams. And guess what? At this university, learning online from the teacher, my final grade at math was 10 out of 10. I was able to understand math very well. The photo is from one of the math classes from this new university.

I like things that stimulate my thinking, although I don't like things too complex. I need alone time to recharge myself, although I can be pretty outspoken with the right people, although I never want good at coming up with subject to talk.

I attached the photo with my results from key2cognition. From the group photo I'm the shortest one.

P.S. The one in the rectangle is the formula and below is the exercise. I basically tried to point out each part of the exercise and its equivalent part in the formula for me to be better able to understand the formula later on, if I ever had to relearn. And just so you know, I'm pretty confident that I have Fe. And I also have HSP.

I have been trying to delve deeper into MBTI and the cognitive functions to figure out my type but keep running into the same issue that I wish to solve, that being how to apply what I’m researching to myself. I’ve always struggled with perceiving myself, so along with looking into different sites and video’s explanations, I’ve also sought out advice of those who I believe know me the most to gather their two cents on me. The issue is that they all have given me different answers and explanations that contradict what others have said along with my own thoughts about what the correct answer of my type could be. Granted not all of them know or understand MBTI or the cognitive functions well and just researched it to entertain myself/my inquiry, so their perception of me or their understanding of the theory could be flawed as well. I just want to pick a type and be correct so I don’t have to go back and forth, and I take stock in their answers since I know truth is different from subjective truth, and I want my objectively true type that cannot be challenged by others. If anyone has any advice on where else I can research or things about myself I could look deeper into I’d appreciate it.

Also the answers I’ve been given so far, at least most consistently, by those I’ve asked to research this, or know a little about it have given me (in no particular order) INFJ, INFP, ENTP, and ISTJ

Hello, I recently turned 17, I’m in 11th grade and live in a small German village. I like to play guitar, do philosophy, play video games, listen to music and put something interesting I’ve found into my collection of interesting things. Since I’m a student, I don’t work (and can’t find a student job) but I want to find things out as a job so I want to become a scientist in psychology because I think the human mind is very interesting. I also like to go on medieval markets because they are fun. I want to know a lot of things so I use google a lot to answer questions I have. I also really love animals and have two cute cats. I say I dislike horses and they’re sus but I don’t actually mean it. I like horses too. I am (obviously) goth so i appreciate the art surrounding it. I like gothic rock but also more obscure regional artists. I also play guitar in a goth band (can’t tell exactly what). I think about philosophy a lot and I also like to read philosophy. I dream of a fair and ethical world. I also like to see new things like when I saw tiny crabs and fossils or visit a museum. I like a lot of things. I like my friends, my school (especially german and chemistry), my teachers, my mom, my cats, music, anime, Reddit and museums. I often walk in a circle or spin myself. I don’t know more to say so that’s all. Of course I show you my cats. If you have any questions then ask them and I’ll do my best to answer. Bye bye!

my name is kenna, i enjoy studying the paranormal and deep diving into different ideas and perspectives. i enjoy learning new things, being creative, listening to music, and being my own authentic true self. i am an empath and a reliable resource for people. at first glance, i appear reserved and emotionally closed off, when i open up to people, my true personality is showed. others often describe me as sensitive, generous, curious, brutally honest, and emotionally intelligent. i have a passion for spirituality and i am not afraid to be my true self in front of others. i enjoy my alone time dearly; sometimes i take that privilege to my advantage and forget about my potential. i tend to be an anxious person in big groups, i strive to outgrow this day by day. i love all animals, i imagine owning many animals when i am older; i am not interested in children. some bands i enjoy are: pierce the veil, slipknot, nirvana, korn, green day, tv girl, the neighborhood, and deftones. i love expressing my inner self through my wardrobe and personality. i prefer to stand out from others, no matter the cost. i always am willing to stand up for what i believe in, for example: lgbtq+ rights, women healthcare, anti-ice, and anti-maga. i strive to understand things no matter how complicated they are; i sometimes over analyze things to better understand them. in relationships, i used to be a pushover; i believed it i stayed quiet, things would get better. i’ve been in a few relationships since then and have realized i need to put my needs above my comfort. i now stand up for myself as much as i can, and plan to more in the future.

I took the 90-question Sakinorva test for the first time as I got suggestions of trying Cognitive Functions baser MBTI tests as they're comparatively more accurate and the paid tests are pretty costly, and my results are very confusing to me. Earlier, I used to rely on 16 Personalities and figured out how superficial that website is. Let's jump back to my Sakinorva results.....

I heard cognitive-based tests are more accurate, but these mixed signals have left me lost. I would be truly grateful if you could help me decode these results in the comments!

I’ve always thought I was INFP/ISTJ, but sometimes I think I act like I have Fe:
When I was young I was always very sensitive to how people react to what I say, even now I care a lot about not offending the person I talk to. I used to try to change the way I talk so I could be viewed as nice/cool to all people. I wouldn’t say I go out of my way to help people/have the desire to help people, but I definitely feel really shitty when I feel like I was mean to someone.
But I also have the desire to act like myself, and I often struggle between the duality of wanting everyone to like me and also wanting to be my innate self.
I’m kinda new to mbti so I was wondering if it seems like this is Fe or Fi.

I am pushing 30, unemployed, I try to think logically and flex that muscle without letting go off my emotions because I'm not a robot. I get bored of games easily unless it has a compelling story. I am impulsive about food. And I like talking to people in person. When I play competitive games I don't care about winning and usually spice things up to make it more fun like break rules or intentionally lie. I am highly expressive around people I'm close to but it still seeps through in public when I joke around. I try to keep things lighthearted most of the time, but when something serious comes up I know how to switch gears. I am a multidisciplinary artist, I can draw, paint, compose music, write fiction, play guitar, piano, and drums. My grades were terrible in school but I ended up being a late bloomer and started having more intellectual curiosity later on in life. I like learning new things every day no matter what it is. I have a hard time keeping a routine by myself, but can follow routines people make for me (e.g. schedules in school and work) because I am accountable for other people's expectations. I am more lenient with myself.

Also here are some thoughts:

I am always going in circles, and it's a neverending cycle of identifying with one type and later on changing to another one. At this point, I have identified with every single mbti type throughout my 7 years since starting to get to know about this typology system.

People keep saying to read about the cognitive functions, but sometimes there are different interpretations depending on the site I'm reading. Some people say you don't usually know your dominant function because it's subconscious and comes naturally to you, some people say it's the function you notice the most, some people say it's a function you use ever since you were little, and it just goes on and on. Some people say the inferior function is what you use when you're stressed, some say it's something you're not good at using, or heck it can even be both depending who you talk to.

There are also people that say mbti is actually a preference and not exactly what cognitive function you actually use. I don't know what I should believe anymore.

There is no one way to act as an mbti type, because people say you could be one type and lean more towards another type depending on your state of mind etc. and it just introduces a whole new system again.

There is no strong source I can pinpoint to actually get to the bottom of this. What the system was initially by the mother and daughter duo sounded more like the big five but in different letters.

I don't know why I even take this pseudoscience so seriously. It can help with self reflection, sure but I feel like I get further and further away from my core self when I dive into mbti.

Personality can change but there's a core trait that makes you, you. I can't figure out what exactly that is for me... My energy? My optimism?

Anyway folks, that's all I have to say right now. Would love to discuss further in the comments.

(ive fixed a few errors in this but honestly I give up fixing the rest. Pretty sure my brain turned off while typing this)

To throw some "ideas" out there, I have been told and typed, whether that is by myself, friends, AI or tests as the following: INTP, ISTJ, INTJ, ENTJ, ISTP, INFJ, ISFP.

Clearly some Fi-functioning typings there aye?

I would describe myself as an antisocial person (not the psych reading) over introverted. I typically refrain from interacting with people unless necessary, whether that is from me wanting to gain something from or through them, or because they may be an interesting person that I may get along with. Whenever I am not engaging with another person, I am solely focused on my own activities, which I will briefly describe below:

Gaming - One if not my only major pass times. Until Elden Ring, I usually played games to completion so 100% and done, or to attain a certain rank within a game, such as Valorant, League, Overwatch and so forth. I tend to do this with the idea of creating content out of the videos while playing, but never do so. As I tend to think of "ideas" or things that may get me content "efficiently" so to speak, but never go through with it. So playing for ranks or completing games feels quite shallow as I did not go through with the plan or benefit from doing so. As for Elden Ring, it was the first game that has ever challenged my patience. Each death becomes a lesson, whether that may be learning a boss attack, how or when they do it or just ensuring I don't start throwing a tantrum at my own incompetence. However, I am still playing it to completion, which I may quit the game entirely, or enjoy it in a different playstyle.

Chess -- Not exactly a hobby of main, but similar to games I do it for Elo Rating over enjoyment. One thing that annoys me, is reaching a new high only to get put to a new low (losing 80-100 Elo right after). Usually I spend time certain openings, tend to sticking to aggressive or counter-aggressive openings the most. If my opponent wont attack, I will sort of mindset.

Working -- I enjoy working because of the idea of money, not for the work itself. However, due to recent circumstances, a new position has opened up to me which has allowed for development. Before, I was not fond of working because of how stale it felt and the lack of progress I was making. This lack of progress caused me to chase dopamine, such as completing games to 100%, which as previously mentioned, resorted to me feeling empty.

Now for how I think.

On a daily basis I tend to do what works, if I have time to relax, I do so. If I am required to plan I do so. However, if I feel like progress is not being made, I begin planning and executing on the double. I often enjoy planning ahead, it brings a sense of ease knowing where my life or goals are heading, and I usually find clarity in my plans whenever I actually start them, but often find myself hesitating due to missing a piece to the puzzle.

One of my plans are to ensure I am hired when finishing university, and to do that I am currently working towards achieving all the technical skills, such as programming, excel and so much more, though some are these arent entirely important but they can increase my odds. Whereas academic and practical skills are more likely to increase my odds, due to having the knowledge and experience of it. However, my current part-time job does not complement my future career, so my intention is to land a position of leadership or management, where I may be directly involved with customers and directing coworkers. This is a somewhat difficult task though, as finding that position in my current workplace is a waiting list, and finding a new job that will hire me as a student, is already a task in itself.

Due to that part of my plan not working out how I want it, it causes me to get annoyed and not feel relaxed even if there are not current issues at hand. Once I have a clear and not obscure pathway ahead of me, then I feel content. I usually do things for reason over enjoyment, but do not mistake that for never doing things for fun.

For friends, I often try to organise activities with them if I am able to do so. However, if the activity can be done alone, then I shall. An example of this is me planning to go to an asian country next year, and at first I was thinking of going alone, but then I thought "I probably wont find much to do alone" as I can be quite objective, so I then asked some friends to come and a few of them agreed. More the merrier. If there is chaos, there is enjoyment, but since I tend to do things linearly, chaos is not really apart of my daily life.

A more passive plan, is that the money gained is put into savings rather than spent. As I am ensuring I have as much money as possible for when I graduate. Already having a large portion of savings, now allows me to follow through with driving lessons, that I put off until necessary as I had no use for a car as public transport was convenient and cost-efficient.

I will answer every comment and tell you if you’re right or wrong. If you want to guess enneagram you can too!

Here’s a description to make this post a bit more serious and also fill the 400 words requirement to not get my post deleted:

I’m the kind of person who looks calm on the outside but has a brain that is constantly running in the background. I notice details, patterns, changes in people’s behavior, and the little things that others often ignore. Once something catches my attention, I tend to analyze it from every angle until I feel like I understand what’s really going on (or not).

I care a lot about competence and authenticity. I want to be good at what I do, and I get the most satisfaction from seeing that my efforts mattered. Compliments only really matter to me when they’re about something I’ve genuinely worked hard for. At the same time, I can be surprisingly hard on myself and sometimes avoid situations where I might discover that I’m not as capable as I hoped.

Autonomy is huge for me. I hate feeling trapped, useless, or too dependent on others. That’s probably why I’m drawn to activities that make me feel engaged land in control of myself like sports, competitive games, driving, learning new skills, anything that gives me a sense of agency and makes me feel good after.

Emotionally, I’m deeper than I first appear. I get attached strongly but selectively, and loyalty means a lot to me. Being misunderstood, especially having bad intentions attributed to me, hurts me a lot. When emotions become overwhelming, my reflex is often to step back and analyze them rather than express them immediately.

Overall, I’m a curious, driven, self-reflective person who wants to improve, stay capable, understand myself honestly, and be deeply loyal to the people I truly care about.

(I would put more pictures of me and my friends but to avoid invading their privacy...)

Hi all! I'm Selkie, 20 years old, a college sophomore. My free time is usually filled up with public service and activism (I lead some, participate in others), tutoring others, or some internship, but when I'm actually free I like to read classics, fantasy, political philosophy; write fiction and sketch; bike/walk around and explore nature. People-wise, I'm the type who would get really deep with people quickly, conversationally and emotionally, but I'm actually aromantic so have ended up breaking some hearts (sorry!)...we're still friends, though, I rarely break off with people. I have friends across friend groups and one central friend group. I don't like being excluded but otherwise enjoy people and activities, but don't like having unfinished tasks or sacrificing my academics, so I balance things and people, and end up being a pretty busy person. 

I have been described as 'giving big sibling energy', wise, trustworthy, hypercompetent, empathetic, 'yapper sometimes', 'a bit random', mission-oriented, and passionate; and on the negative side righteous, overconfident (expressing things without hesitation even when I'm uncertain), unfashionable, naive, and 'savior complex/caring more about 'people' in the abstract than your friends' (when I disappear on activism trips; true though that I have problems with intimacy). I'm sorta contradictory: at once pragmatic and idealistic, humanities and STEM person, serious and too young-seeming for my age. Metaphorically, sorta like a Swiss knife who's adapting my skills, intellectual or social or otherwise, to each situation (but I choose my situations)---and a pretty good one at that, objectively speaking.

Love to hear your thoughts on what personality type you think I am! 

Type me based solely on my most relatable female characters. I’m more interested in the recurring themes than in individual similarities, so focus on the overall pattern instead of one specific character. What do you think my MBTI, Enneagram, instinctual stack, psychosophy, temperament, Big Five, and core motivations are? Feel free to explain your reasoning in detail, point out recurring traits, contradictions, strengths, flaws, defense mechanisms, cognitive functions, values, fears, and anything else you think these characters reveal about me. I’m curious to see how others interpret the pattern.

These were my enneagram results.I keep getting confused between ENTP,INTP,ENFP or INFP. (All of this is in order about what I think I am the most and least likely of being)

Does the above enneagram tell anything about what I might be?

I think I am mostly confused because I havent been reading the actual functions properly which I will in a while but in general I think me being any other type wouldnt be accurate.

On tests I keep getting typed as either INTP or ENTP but I am very confused about being a ENFP aswell because I feel emotions like them.

Then I also think ENTP is the most likely aswell because I love to debate and being humbled and proven wrong.

As for INFP being the least,no offence but whenever I read about it it just gives me heebie jeebies that I might be this type and such a sensitive human and I am just pretending I am not.

ENTP and INTP are just two sides of the same coin but for some reason INTP feels too introverted for me.I am introverted in a way and specific types if people do drain me but if I get the right people I would prefer thinking ideas with them rather than processing alone.

What do you guys think?

My cognitive functions are

-sarkinova: Ne(41) > Ni(37) > Ti(36) > Fi(27) > Si(25) > Fe(21) = Te(21) > Se(9)
 

-keystocognition: Ne(43) > Fi(42) > Ti(34) > Fe(32) > Ni(31) > Si(29) > Te(20) > Se (9)

-averaged: Ne(42) > Fi(35) = Ti(35) > Ni(34) > Fe(27) = Si(27) > Te (21) > Se(9).

these were taken a few months apart.

I tend to test enneagram 5w6 consistently, with 5w4 always being a really close second.

I don’t know what to say for my behavior, as I know I will be naturally biased, but from what I can tell, I can be really talkative and chatty, or awkward and quiet. It’s the result of Social Anxiety vs ADHD on the daily. I spend most of my time outside of school alone. In middle school I used to be a bit of a therapist friend, and kept attracting friendships with people who would need support all the time. These friendships burnt me out, and now, around a year after the last one, I genuinely don’t act like an emotionally supportive friend now, more so someone to just play video games with and gossip. I talk to my mom, who I’m comfortable with, about things like my future plans as well as ideas on social networks at school and the current state of global fashion. I like to just yap in circles periodically and return to subjects every few days or weeks when a new tidbit of info is added. (Is this what they meant by paragraph about myself?)

Idk, I just like mbti for fun memes and finding relatable characters, but I’m also the type of person that agonizes over what type they are :p

Hello, I need to find my 3nneagram and MBTI. i just can’t decice if Im infp, intp or enfp… heres my personality and I used google translator for yall to understand me better

First of all, being ethical is a necessity for me. I feel compelled to do this because I want to be a good person. For instance, if I had knowingly cheated, I would intentionally leave blank the number of questions equivalent to the score I gained through cheating on the next exam. It might sound absurd, but it feels as though that is how I could pay the price for my mistake. I am certain that if I handled it any other way, it would weigh on my conscience. I am not particularly religious, but I also fear going to hell (after all, these exams are crucial for future university admissions or jobs, and cheating would mean infringing on others' rights...). And yes, if I cheated in a subject I was weak in, I would still do the same thing regardless. Being honest makes me feel good and at ease. In fact, even if there were a chance to win a reward based on the exam results, I still wouldn't answer those questions. I also wouldn't want to deceive myself. As for my friends, if they were cheating, I would warn them because it isn't right, and it feels as though I am participating in it too. Ultimately, yes, I like to handle things according to my own logic; even if I had done something good, I am sure it would still be on my mind, because doing something good doesn't completely erase our mistakes. Speaking of mistakes...
I’ve made mistakes, too—like acting toxic toward people... 

Yes, I was young back then and didn't understand a lot of things, but even so, I still think about it with sadness. It feels like I view myself as a bad person. Of course, I’m not that kind of person anymore. I am more respectful and understanding toward people. Even my psychologist says so; they view me as someone who is honest, self-aware, and able to articulate my feelings, yet also someone who wants to improve themselves (though they say I might be exaggerating things a bit). The truth is, I generally don't trust anyone... I constantly judge myself by my own standards. I feel a need for people's judgment, yet I can't bring myself to trust them—after all, if you don't trust yourself, you can't trust others. It’s not just the past that I get hung up on, though. I feel as if I didn't truly appreciate the value of time back then. Yes, I miss my old school days, but even back then, I was missing my *older* friends. It feels as if I’m never truly happy... as if I’m always wanting something better. Even when I was little, I used to constantly think about life and death. I was afraid of everything—of my loved ones dying or losing them... And yes, as you might guess, I’m a very anxious person! This stems from my lack of self-confidence. I’m indecisive about even the smallest choices, yet if I genuinely want something or want to prove a point, I don't give up; I look for a solution. I wouldn't say I'm fearless, but if I truly believe I deserve something, I go for it—even though I’m scared. 

Yes, I do care about what people think. I want to be seen as a good person in society; I feel I *need* to be a good person. Yet, in almost everything I do, I end up viewing myself as a bad person (for instance, regarding AI—even though I don't support it, I still use it. I know it sounds ironic but I can’t leave ai. Wherever I go, I keep seeing it. i feel dumb and need guidance. I use it because Im lazy and sometimes vent or explain stuff for reassurance or explaining my creative characters because i’m way too embarrassed to ask feedback from others… It just makes me sad because I love animals and I feel like I’m killing polar bears or other animals since AI does contribute to global warming!)

My goal here isn't to explain my problems and ask for pity🙏. I figured that if I explained my thoughts and feelings in detail, perhaps people could type me more accurately. Well... regarding energy levels, it varies—I can be both energetic and not! For starters, if I’m not keen on something, I won't put in the effort. For instance, when I first started high school, I missed my old school, so I deliberately acted cold toward everyone in the class. While everyone else was socializing, I tried to come across as stoic and mysterious. However, if I really want to—like when joining a new course—I’ll socialize if I share interests with someone. Of course, I feel afraid, but sometimes that fear fades because being with friends makes me happy. Whenever I’m with people I care about, I become loud, playful—a completely different person. When I first arrived in class, people saw me as quiet; I struggled to adapt. But then, gradually (even if I couldn't adjust at first), I met people who were somewhat like me and really started to be myself. People went from seeing me as quiet, calm, and odd to viewing me as loud, annoying, and a joker! Of course, hanging out with others isn't always for me. Sometimes I get genuinely bored and have absolutely no energy. Yet, being with others means being myself; even if people find me strange, hanging out with someone makes me feel less alone, and the fact that they might get odd looks too makes me feel good.
I get angry very quickly. Yes, whether I’m dealing with a sick person, a teacher, or anyone else, I usually get annoyed because sometimes I feel it’s truly necessary to shut people up. I tend to stand up against injustice. I can also be quite stubborn. But of course, I feel a bit bad about it later. Even if someone makes me angry, if they are in a helpless situation, I feel sad—or even scared—wondering, "What if I end up like them?" (helpless, sick, or unloved)? Yet, sometimes I genuinely feel I am in the right. It takes me a while to apologize because I feel embarrassed. But yes, I do apologize, of course (at least most of the time 👀).

I have other issues, too—for instance, I struggle to trust my friends or sometimes can't bring myself to stand up to them. If my feelings are hurt, I immediately give them the silent treatment or act cold on purpose. I can't really express my emotions openly, so I wait for others to reach out to me. The other day, I was a bit angry with a friend. I was tired of always being the one to suggest things or try to start a conversation. It felt like they sometimes forgot about me and valued their new friends more. So, when they didn't invite me to their birthday party, I deliberately didn't reply to their messages. I was dropping subtle hints—like intentionally not keeping up our TikTok streak. Eventually, I explained how I felt. Even though that wasn't their intention, I still feel like I’m not their first choice, and that makes me sad.

Yes, most of the time I feel like I’m no one’s number one. I want to be loved. I try to treat everyone well, but it feels like I’m not getting what I want in return. When I was little, I was always in the background. Even my friends would get mad at me without asking what was wrong, and it turned out that was usually because I was being toxic and rude. Of course, that was back when I was very young. But in middle school, for instance, I was constantly forgotten and left out.

That’s why I stand up to people every now and then now. If I don't like someone, I’ll make snide, subtle remarks. Maybe that’s why some people in my class don't like me; I push back against them, and I’m not like them... and please don't think I'm trying to be a "pick-me" or anything—they genuinely see me as a strange, different person sometimes. Last year, for example, the girls talked behind my back before I’d even really started talking to them. When I drew, some of the boys would make fun of me. It also often stems from the fact that I’m disorganized—yes, I’m just as scattered as my mind is 😓.

Sometimes I’m very quick to criticize. I mean, if I don't trust a situation, I always assume the worst; I imagine the most absurd scenarios. Speaking of drawing—yes, I used to constantly compare myself to others in secret. I did it more back then. A friend of mine was good at drawing too; the teachers always seemed to pay more attention to her, which made me sad, and I was constantly trying to show off. I’m sure the reason the teachers paid her a bit more attention regarding art was that she was somewhat quiet and didn't fully show off her talent. I was usually someone who craved attention, and almost everyone knew I drew. I still compare myself to others today.

Ultimately, these are just part of my personality! When I was little, I was often overlooked. For instance, my father would get angry too easily or take offense quickly—even if it was just in jest (though sometimes even his jokes would upset me). Of course, he isn't a bad person, and I had a happy childhood! Still, it seems one can develop an anxiety disorder or OCD without necessarily having childhood trauma... People say I’m empathetic and soft-hearted. Yes, I think I am. I can sense when someone is sad, and I listen to their problems or offer advice—even the kind of advice I wouldn't necessarily follow myself. I just don't want them to be alone (or to feel alone).

OK so these characters are in a novel I'm writing and have a LOT of context but I'll keep them each to a paragraph. I have an idea of what types they are but would love to hear your takes! And feel free to ask additional questions too!

• Nyx: your typical orphan in a magical boarding school except she was both top of her grade and deliberately failed the final exam so she could get expelled and join a vigilante organization. She got really confused there, though, hated a lot of it, and for a while was just following orders and biding her time until Ravi (more on him below) told her about an opportunity for this heist to kidnap the goddess of chaos so she could smash the magical boarding school and free the students, and they went on a side quest. Lesbian and in love with Axe but won't admit it, considers them her rival and too arrogant.
• Axe: born Aria, daughter of a diplomatic family who pretended to be their brother (persuaded him to become a fisherman since he didn't want to do politics anyway) to get into the diplomatic service at the capital, and then joined the spy team and got infamous for making their disguised roles too famous in themselves. Later was bullied then expelled for their gender, sailed to the neighboring country in their brother's boat, accidentally drowning their brother in a fight and then had to steer the boat themself. Changed their name to Axe and joined the vigilante group as a spy and weapons master, and on one mission somehow got elected triumvirate of this neighbouring country, where they secretly changed treaties in favor of their country until they were found out and executed (but in fact they disappeared) for their national identity. Polyamorous and in love with many people---including Nyx, but feels judged by her; and Ravi, who they're fwb with.
• Ravij: ex-prince and librarian, really good at fighting as well. Contracts for the vigilantes on missions but focuses on his main job, which is mostly reading and recovering the lost history of gods and goddesses, which is where the idea for the heist came from. Well-dressed and man of sparse words. Later in the story becomes obsessed with imbuing himself with the spirit of the heavens that he read about in some book and accidentally becomes a villain. Aromantic pansexual, fwb with Axe but doesn't particularly care for anything beyond their looks, and occasionally earns some money at the prostitute house to survive.
• Lidor: Leader of the vigilante organization, from a peasant family and a former antiquarian. Doesn't actually have many skills but good at planning trips and figuring out what various peasant groups need. Later reluctantly helps build the revolution Nyx wants after she and Ravi complete the heist. Secretly collects information on every member of the vigilante organization to avoid their betrayal, and for revenge if needed, so he's the only one who knows Axe's backstory. Doesn't really have friends but has LOTS of acquaintances. Married to Isadora.
• Isadora: Younger sister of the founder of the vigilante organization (who was killed a few years ago on a mission), and Lidor's wife. Used to have to clean the household for her parents, sort of Cinderella-like, until her sister, a general at the army, got her into the military with her permission. Then she became a general of the army and also invented the subterrene (like a submarine but under land). Now she's the vigilante group's driver. Likes to welcome new members and to tease them. Friends with almost everyone so compensates for Lidor's lack of friends.

Hi! I love figuring out myself so i loove these tests, but please help me interpret my results! I know nothing about this really so any insight is appreciated lol

16personalities consistently gives me enfp or infp, but i tried sakinorva and michael caloz just for fun. I don’t really get what the raw values are about

Anybody around who knows a little too much about these that could help?? You are much appreciated, even articles or useful links would be awesome. Tysm

21 year old fast food worker. currently trying to get my driver's license and saving up. my hobbies include art, music, sewing, writing, and reading. a pretty reclusive person but if i let you in my inner circle i can definitely be very talkative and warm. i DO like my alone time a lot though, so i have a tendency to ghost for a bit. especially when stressed

i want to either become a psychiatrist or a chemist. still have a pretty loose life plan in general though and am not deadset on any career at the moment. I've been in and out of college since high school (dual enrollment) and keep on changing my major since i cannot fathom deciding my ultimate career goal at 17 but here we are. i went from computer science, to chemistry, to mathematics, then back to chemistry before i dropped out completely at 19. i do plan to go back eventually though

also another thing is i wanna see what people guess my type to be based on my aesthetic. i identify as a whimsigoth. if you don't know what that is, think like a mix of a hippie and a goth. very dark colors along with imagery of stars, plants, flowers, tarot, ect.

Hey. I can't keep this inside, it's like I've formed a connection with the Universe. This is the most honest and vivid realization I've had about my personality, so I figured I'd share it. I know it might be a bit weird to post something like this in this subreddit, but I genuinely want to understand myself. I've been hiding and not understanding for too long, wanting to be understood by myself and by others. So here it is. I'm anxious about posting this, but I feel like I can't keep it inside anymore, like I don't know where to put this knowledge about myself. It's like I'm this envious creature. As a kid I didn't like that my best friend came from a cool country, had cool things, was so bright and awesome and compared to her, I felt lower, worse. So I'd unconsciously criticize even the place she was born in. But that faded quickly because I genuinely love her and don't want to hurt her. She's someone who doesn't try to harm me or outshine me. She's my anchor and the closest thing to an ideal person in my life, she's truly good and wonderful, deserving of the whole world. And yes, I kin Jinx/Powder from Arcane.

God, I just realized this now. It hit me. I'm in the withdrawn triad in enneagram I'm sure of it. I want closeness, but I'm terrified of being consumed, so I run from relationships, preferring solitude and self-flagellation, taking breaks from people. I've never had romance in my life. It's night right now and I'm here typing this out. I know this is probably stupid, but it's been eating at me, I want to hear outside perspectives. I really am this unpleasant person in life. I think I hide it or don't realize it, but it's there. It wakes up when I'm with someone. I pull attention toward myself I'm more interesting, more important, look at me. I'm jealous and envious. I take traits from other characters, wanting to seem and be cooler than I probably am. I want to seem unusual, interesting, unique, the kind of person people make edits of, with music playing when they walk. I genuinely want to be more interesting than all my friends, cutting off relationships if I don't like something. When a boy tagged along with us as kids, I wanted to be the center of attention. But I wasn't the key person, so I initiated the breakup of those three-way hangouts between me, my friend, and that boy. My best friend should be mine and only mine I should be the priority, treated specially, because I am special. I simultaneously hate myself and desire unique treatment and 100% loyalty from close people.

I'm the one who never initiates contact, sits quietly, all aloof, but when someone tries to interact with me, I'm both happy and unhappy, something's off. I'm quite closed off, need a long time to adjust and get comfortable. I love retreating into myself and constantly daydream. The characters in my head are more important than the real world they give me what the outside world doesn't. I remember in my teens, when my best friend had more likes on a post than me at one point, I acted toxically, criticizing her video, what she was doing, how she looked. Fuck, I'm so ashamed, it's so stupid. She didn't deserve that. But I really did that. I thought I might be in the heart triad. For a 2 I'm way too introverted and don't really do things for people to expect anything back I'm more of a "not like the others" type. For a 3 I don't really strive for anything or do much, I'm amorphous, without real ambitions. I spend my days imagining things, on my phone. I only recently got access to buying things and accessories without limits, my own cash and card. Looking beautiful and aesthetic is really important to me, I try to create harmonious looks. I had terrible complexes from childhood and my teens, I don't love myself. A couple of years ago I looked pretty rough, which upsets me and makes me trust myself even less. Now it's a thing, it's really important to look good. I searched for mental disorders in myself, took tons of tests, because it seemed cool like that way I'd discover more about myself, become unusual. I feel deeply defective, trying to fix it, but it's hard and it's still easy to make me doubt myself, feel like I'm wrong.

I probably come across as a complicated person. At least, here's an old message from my former friend — we talked for about seven years:

"Go to hell with your friendship. Friendship is when you text someone just because you want to know how they're doing and share about yourself. But you don't know how to care about anyone but yourself, and you conveniently hide behind a fear of socializing. You sit in your room, doing absolutely nothing in life. Wake up and grow up already. You know, there's a world outside your room, and other perspectives exist, imagine that.

You quickly forgot how we used to talk. And when I became inconvenient, you decided to disappear. You didn't even apologize for ignoring me for weeks. You destroyed our communication, and I tolerated it for too long. I was the parent in our relationship for too long. Yes, little child? "God, I'm so scared of everything. So I'll build a castle in my head and sit there, rather than face my fears. And then I'll look for disorders in myself — that's also better than facing my fears. And then I'll tell the person who stayed by my side all this time and supported me to go to hell, because again, I'm not going to face my fears. I'll just live in them".

Yes, I carry my flaws and what people reproach me for as part of myself, part of my identity, building my inner self around them. I felt like Billie Eilish's "Happier Than Ever" was about me like I'm exactly the person she's singing about, the one who made her suffer. And I also associated myself with "Spit in My Face" by ThxSoMch. I've put my entire identity into question again. And yeah, I think I'm most likely INFP IEI. I typed myself as sp9. And I wonder is it normal to have this kind of inner world with that type, maybe I'm an ISFP or something? How well does it even fit? Where am I lying to myself not choosing who I am, but who I want to be, because I don't love myself or my inner core and want to replace it? Did I get my type wrong, and my real inner life actually fits a 4? Sorry for such a chaotic and weird post, honestly. It just hit me in my brain that this is the person I don't understand though it feels more like I'm unconsciously hiding it. Maybe that's why typing myself has taken so long and been so hard.

Hello,

I don’t post on forums much but I think I have psychoanalyzed myself into a hole and I would just love some perspective from the audience.

I consistently loop around the same 4 types. Studying function stacks seems to help, but also I get worried I’m not actually being honest. Like sure I WANT this to be true for me.. but is it?

I have huge identity issues, so feeling like I can’t really pinpoint myself leaves me feeling empty or unsure and I DONT WANT TO BE A FRAUD.

Why does it matter if I’m a fraud?? Well I guess it genuinely doesn’t matter to anyone else but myself, but that will eat at my brain like larvae.

So here is a short, hopefully very truthful personality description of myself… once again PLEASE HELP ME.

Desc Start:

I know for starters that I’m definitely more of a feeler. I’m always checking with the group to see how everyone is feeling, I’ll even make decisions pretending they’re my own but I know it actually would make someone in the group super happy. I feel like I always immediately know when the mood goes sour or something is wrong, it hits me like a wave even if no one necessarily said anything. My goal 7/10 is to make sure the situation calms down or gets resolved… however I do have my moments of defiance. Like I’ll KNOW that the person wants me to roll over and let something go, but if it’s serious and personal to me I’ll make sure my point is at least understood.

Thats another thing: I over explain everything. I hate being misunderstood or someone believing something untrue about me (I feel like that’s pretty human though.) however I just really go out of my way to make sure there is no confusion.

I do use past experiences to mold current ones, or if I have an issue I will try and think if I’ve solved it before. I’m always pretty aware of new sounds, smells, textures etc in my environment, and even if I’m not I just know something feels off. I do really love physical sensations like good smells, soft blankets, recalling a memory and thinking of the sensory things happening in it. I often find myself going to physical stimulus when I’m stressed. Like if I have a headache I’ll put on my “headache hat” that squeezes my head just right and is perfectly soft. Or I’ll smell essential oils when I’m anxious or upset.

I really enjoy direct conversations for serious topics. I am fully capable of going off on tangents etc, however when it’s like.. discussing feelings or an issue in a romantic relationship, I really grab things from the root of the issue and really try and fix it, being as honest and open as possible so a true conclusion can be made.

Anyway. I’m unsure if anyone will actually respond to this aannnnnnddddd I’m kinda tired of writing now.. but if anyone feels generous.. I would appreciate it greatly.

Add: I also did not want to mention the 4 types I’m usually circling around just incase it created a bias or anything, but if someone asks I will be happy to let you know.

Okay thank you :) bye

Hello there. I took the test and it took a few hours because it really makes you think. The results surprised me. I've thought of myself as many different types, but I do lean closer to Ni base in socionics, although I used to strongly consider LII before. I decided to take this test to get a clearer picture of where I stand in MBTI. Some of it seems pretty clear, but at the same time the results feel mixed, not as sharp and unambiguous as I'd like them to be. Anyway, I'm curious what you guys think.

Also, I don't know myself very well which made it harder to answer confidently. A lot of questions depend on context, and I often felt like both options fit me in some way. The question about memory type especially threw me off a bit. I ended up writing an example of a random memory that came to mind while I was taking the test. If anyone's interested, here it is:

It was June 10, 2022. I had to go to school for a tutoring session, but I woke up around 9 AM feeling really unwell, a headache hit. I canceled. I threw up, felt dizzy, couldn't read without the words blurring like a bad camera that just won't focus. I sat there, took some meds, hoping to calm down and get myself back to a state of living rather than just surviving. By around 2 PM I felt a bit better, but still off I tried to zone out in front of the TV. My parents came home and brought a bucket of Bubble Gum ice cream, and I decided I was up for some even though I'd been sick to the point of vomiting that morning. I watched one blogger, I even remember the video, it was about Japanese horror games that I've watched before but I like to rewatch something, because of the emotions, I don't like to feel unpredictable emotions (I guess I have an inert ethics in socionics, constructivism). I looked outside, it was around 4-6 PM, a summer day. Evening was settling in, the sun looked especially beautiful. Everything felt different, more vivid. I had just read a fanfic about two characters from one series. I was inspired by the atmosphere and a scene came to mind: them lying naked in bed, a large room, curtains loosely drawn so sunlight filtered through, everything warm and golden. My writing itself felt like honey pouring from a spoon, dripping onto fabric, sunny, warm, intimate with a muted vibe while outside the curtains the characters had another world going on. The same atmosphere as the one outside my window. I wrote a very sensual piece well, I started it that day. I finished it a couple days later on a Sunday, I think. To this day it's still my best work.

I suspect I remember the dates because it was something significant and the publication date of the fanfic stuck with me because I saw it in the header though I don't remember exactly now if it was June 13.

I portray myself as a cool, calm and collected person on the internet, sometimes even friendly or aggressive depending on the type of person I’m interacting with, but mostly thats because I want to avoid any unnecessary conflict. Irl I’m very awkward when interacting with others, but I mostly cant control my emotions/bad at hiding my emotions and end up behaving very childishly when excited, or completely quiet and asocial the next.

Inside, I feel emotions very strongly, but it really depends on what type of emotions they are, and they can sometimes be for extremely petty reasons. I’m a person with a preference for a few close friends rather than many to sustain me, and I can get Very emotionally demanding or forthright in a relationship with a person I love (platonically) the most. This can be destructive towards both me and the person but I try my utmost best to hold myself back because I’m self aware, so it’s mainly exhausting/destructive for me only. I try to be as honest and open with the people I prioritize relationships with as possible (which is very few people), but sometimes this results in me sounding brash, awkward or insensitive.

I‘m a person who’s extremely focused on self-reflection and figuring myself out/finding my identity through the themes and medias I’m drawn to, sometimes to a frightening extent, and I need to pause and breathe because the emotions that that evokes can be too much for me sometimes, especially in relationships. I draw patterns between the characters I relate to or themes/media I’m drawn to and use that to draw conclusions or theories about myself and figure myself out more.

I can be selfish and awkward toward people I don't know well, I’m bad at expressing outward care without getting embarrassed into superhell, and I’m a person that’s extremely sensitive to criticism (or even outside input) and does not take it well (wow triple rhyme!). Because of this, even though I want to figure myself out as much as possible, I sometimes have trouble being honest with myself when stressed and block out the most undesirable implications about myself from my mind. Consequently, this leads to me being very subconsciously self-justifying until I cannot run from those bad implications anymore.

I personally thought I was I’m ISFP / 4w5 / Fi-Se-Ni-Te but I just wanted to check because I. Am completely lost on this stuff… thank you, I hope what I provided was adequate!

Hi. In general, these are questions that I found in a place while I was watching posts on socionics, but I thought it was very interesting and unusual and it could also show a way of thinking, some traits and be useful in MBTI too. So that's it. I will be grateful for the answers and help, but I am very curious to know what can be seen in my text. Fortunately, there are so few questions here.

1. A "selfish" person is someone who does not consider other people when making decisions, and instead focuses on their own goals. In what ways are you selfish? Is selfishness a natural human tendency? Is it good or bad? How does a single selfish person affect those around them? How does a group of selfish people affect other people? Are some cultures or systems (think religion, economic, or organizational) more or less likely to be selfish? Is the selfishness in these systems necessary, good, or bad?

I think I actually have a lot of selfish traits that I don't fully realize, they're not at the forefront of my consciousness. I'm generally not known for being good at self-analysis, so I might not fully see a lot in myself, but more and more often I catch myself thinking that my selfishness seems both hidden and quite obvious. I'm more withdrawn, closed off, showing strong traits of a schizoid personality type although I haven't been diagnosed with this disorder, so I have a tendency to retreat into myself and my solitude, into fantasies, prioritizing them over the real world. As you might have guessed not everyone likes this. My loved ones would like me to be closer, more emotionally open, to spend more time with them, but I don't give them that. I share my time, I might want to be with them, but not as often as, say, seven days a week more like two or three of them. Sometimes my closest friend might text me urgently and I want to be alone, so I swipe away her message and continue with my own things, later telling her I was asleep or didn't see it. I think this is my most obvious selfish trait. A former friend left partly for this reason.

I think selfishness is a trait that is initially in the middle for everyone at default settings when we're born. And over time, a person develops it or forgets it, it all depends on the environment and individual experience. I believe it's a natural human tendency that more than fifty percent of people are selfish, people who wouldn't risk themselves or do something for others. Selfishness is useful, otherwise others will tear you apart with their demands, which you if you were not selfish but its opposite an altruist, would be satisfying. Whether this is good or bad depends on how and who looks at it. For me it would be quite inconvenient if the person whose help or resources I need turned out to be selfish enough not to give them to me. But for that person it would be great and useful. Of course, humans are social creatures and we often find ourselves in groups even if forced. And when there are obvious selfish people in a group, it's harder to achieve idealized common goals, to be a team like from posters or cheap advertisements. And if the whole group consists of them I wouldn't say it's bad. Well, there are guys who put their interests above others, so what? Yes, it's not very convenient, but overall it can still work. Perhaps these people can create their own system in which benefits flow to them, in which they are comfortable and well. I'm not the most knowledgeable person in either religion or economics, but I dare say capitalism is quite selfish. Although I like it much more than socialism. Essentially it's like I said, there is a group of conditional egoists into whose hands resources and money flow, a minority. In this system, selfishness is necessary, it's quite tightly woven into its very essence.

2. Science has explained many things in the universe. We can "look" at electrons and manipulate atoms; we can accurately determine the mass of planets and stars; we can deduce historical events which occurred billions of years ago; and we can make accurate predictions of our world and universe. How do you react when people talk about aspects of science in a concrete and unchanging way? How do you react if people suggest that nothing is concrete?

It never seemed to me that science could do everything. I mean it clearly cannot confidently claim something it hasn't approached, hasn't seen, hasn't visited. I've always been surprised that scientists explain something in the universe so categorically that something may or may not be there. Where the hell did you get that from? I'm convinced that we know so little, we still have so much to discover and it's not a fact that humanity will ever be able to learn everything throughout history. So yes, science is very, very abstract much is built on guesses and hypotheses, but you can never assert anything for sure. Nothing is concrete. It's interesting to study, to observe, but we are such tiny grains in the Universe, yet we sit here, so important, fitting the entire Universe and space into our invented laws.

3. Think about someone you don't get along with. Why don't you get along with them? What aspects of their behavior or mannerisms bother you most? Are there many people you don't get along with, or do you get along with most people? Is it easy for you to ascertain this? Are there entire groups of people you do not get along with? Is there a culture or aspect of a culture that you don't get along well with? Why?

My mother. She has overprotected me all my life, suffocated me with it which made me an outcast because she didn't teach me many things, keeping me close to her although I did manage with the acquisition of a phone and entering my teenage years to strongly go against this and argue with her a lot. She is one of the reasons why my peers at school didn't accept me and laughed at me. I never needed protection, mom, I needed you to teach me to see myself, to defend myself. As a result, I have either no will or a strongly hidden one, poor understanding of myself and my personal qualities and desires which has affected my life already in my twenties. She's like a hen, overprotective, fussy, emotional, trying to be peaceful although it's clearly not needed in many situations, but she says it's family, you can't do that even if the person tells you to fuck off and sometimes with strangers she overdoes it and acts arrogantly, in my opinion. Which triggers me. I cannot and do not want to be her ideal daughter, let alone indulge her saccharine sweetness. She considers me rude, heartless. She can often and openly talk about her emotions and feelings, but I don't need that. I never comfortably say that I love someone. I can buy you food, help with writing a diploma, play with you on Discord, but never without grinding my teeth say that I love you. And especially her. She tries to get closer only to criticize your interests, examining them like a critic examining a dish, not listening when you tell her to stop interfering and advising when no one asked and then wondering why you're cold and don't love her.

I don't get along with those who are arrogant, put others below themselves as if they were servants without a voice, who are meticulous and picky, asserting themselves at the expense of others. I can't stand hysterical, histrionic people who demand my attention, drowning out my whisper with their outbursts. Overly sensitive, loud people will throw me off balance. Although I am neutral myself, I can get along with many people although I don't seek communication and making friends myself. Maybe it's childhood trauma or maybe it's just my nature. I can accept a lot if the person is loyal, values me and treats me well. If they are rude and angry with everyone but not with me, that will also be pleasant. So yes, you can be Tate Langdon or Albert Wesker, but I'll be there if you're okay with me, accepting, understanding, non-judgmental and would choose me among all people one hundred percent. Nevertheless I don't get along with adherents of stereotypes, mass hysteria, who don't think, don't want, don't change their minds, evolving and developing, but remain at what they were told. Homophobes, sexists, racists these are the groups of people I would clearly not want to be in the same room with. I know this might be a bit categorical that such people may have positive traits, potential for change, however, it's easier not to play with an alligator hoping it won't bite off your hand than to hope and come close? Exaggerated, but that's how it is. It will also be difficult to interact with ardent patriots who don't want to turn around and be a little more objective. It's important to be able to see and hear, not to go blindly.

4. What is a friend to you? What is a good person? Can a person be good but perform bad actions? Is there a model for frequency of bad actions for a person to become bad, and is intent involved? Do friendships have inherent obligations and expectations? What obligations and expectations exist within friendships? Are there levels of friendships? How are other people's interpretations of friendships different from your own? What are the flaws in yours or others, or do flaws necessarily exist?

A friend is a loyal and devoted person who will stand up for you and with you anywhere, who will always choose you and not judge, accept you as you are, understand. A good person is a vague concept, but it's someone who has positive characteristics, not harming others. The most important thing is not to intentionally harm others.

Yes, I think a good person can commit bad actions, just as a bad person can commit good ones. This adds or subtracts pluses to the karma, conditionally, but it doesn't make a person different. You can, under pressure of circumstances, not of your own free will, by mistake, do a bad thing. There are many options. I deeply believe that intention is key in a person's action. I want to understand it, analyze it, then talk about how bad it is. I can accept a lot if I understand. I don't think there are clear criteria for a bad person, there are always nuances. Even the law seems to me not to take into account many factors.

Each friendship has its own criteria, I won't speak for everyone directly. As I said above for me acceptance and loyalty are important in friendship, respect although this is not the ultimate truth. Honestly, I don't know how my understanding could fundamentally differ from someone else's, a survey would be needed here. I believe there is no clear division into flaws and pluses of my or anyone else's understanding, it's already very subjective, so I won't speak about it.
