I've recently done official Aushra questionnaire and I feel disappointed in questions. They're not very personal. They seem to be focused more on dimensionality despite her not being pro dimensionality.
Te
Te-A. What would you consider to be productive work? How would you measure this? What are some factors that may affect someone or something’s efficiency? Provide some examples.
Something that builds towards something and contributes to a positive or wanted result.
You would analyze the timeline’s cause and effect in order to see if it’s effective, efficient, resourceful and impactful.
Something is effective if it results in positive or expected result but somethings is efficient if it reduces amount of resources and time being wasted aka collateral damage to achieve something.
If I organize my environment, I will waste a little time now and save a lot of time in the future for when I need to find the item instead of trying to find it in chaos. You can buy in bulk in order to save money and invest into things that you will actually need instead of buying it at full price each time. You can use NixOS instead of MintOS if you’re the person who likes to reinstall your OS often because it allows to be preorganized library that automatically installs all your preferred apps instead of manually installing them each time.
Te-B. Think of a time where you needed to complete a difficult task. How did you approach managing the workflow? Why? How can you tell apart logical and illogical workflows or methods of action?
I usually don’t care about being efficient but I do care that I’m effective and accurate. I make research online and try to analyze it and go through possibilities in order to eliminate inferior ones and find the one that will have most precise and correct result.
I enjoy working alone because I don’t have to deal with anarchy nor chaos.
Illogical workflows are the ones that waste more time and resources. They can also sabotage result and create inferior result or quality of the end result.
Te-C. How can someone make a set of rules or instructions easy to follow? When people aren’t properly following directions or procedures, how do you correct them? When should you?
They should translate them in a way that they won’t require preknown references that only a person in the field or with previous experience will understand. This is what many teachers get it wrong because they talk to them with knowledge and frustration as if they’d already know about those things but they don’t.
Te-D. What would you consider a normal level of activity? Is it always necessary to maintain this? Why or why not? How can you tell if someone is overexerting or underexerting themselves?
It’s mostly to do with collateral damage, resources wasted, energy wasted and time wasted. You should reserve energy instead of wasting it for nothing. Sometimes you should waste energy if the purpose is to exercise.
Te-E. Think of an activity you’re interested in which requires certain physical or mechanical skills. How would you differentiate a good and bad technique? What makes these techniques effective or ineffective? How aware of you of your own performance?
I enjoy gaming and playing guitar. When it comes to guitar, I want to have balanced tension strings since they create most efficient vibrations and tensions which allow me to pick in most effective and accurate way. I also need to get right material and thickness of a pick. When it comes to video games, I like to have mouse and keyboard that I feel comfortable with. They need to be properly adjusted in sensitivity which is most comfortable for me. I can test it in practice mode to see which one offers best results in 10 out of 10 tries in 1 minute each. I compare my tries as separate events to previous events and measure precision, efficiency, time and impact that it left.
Fe
Fe-A. To what extent does someone’s emotional state affect a person’s being? How does your emotional state affect your everyday life? When does your true emotional state differ from what you express?
Everyone is emotionally affected on subconscious level and people don’t even realize it. When people think that they are logical, they’re usually just biased and confident in their belief. Emotions usually support logic. This is why religious people appear so logically persuasive but they’re just confident and sometimes even delusional. You see very smart people who are extremely indecisive because of lack of gut reasurrance, high anxiety and ability to see possibilities.
I often feel uncomfortable expressing my own emotions because I fear being judged and appearing cringe in the environment or to people. This is what makes people mask, you can mask out of multiple reasons, whether to get a result or just please people out of your kindness.
Fe-B. How important is it for someone to be inspired and excited about what they’re doing? Why? How can people actively inspire others?
You can use discipline and volition but without motivation, they will only work for so long until you crash down. People are usually very easily persuaded. You can notice this in media and politics. People care more about impressions and “ad hominem” than they do about impersonal truth.
People usually gaslight and crowd control through cheap shots that and charisma which can leave positive or negative impact on people.
Fe-C. What role do negative emotions, including anger, play in people’s lives? What causes them? Are they intrinsically valuable? Why or why not? What can be learned from negative emotions?
Negative emotions are literally defense mechanism through evolution. It helped people survive. Today, people rely a lot on their emotions. They shape their worldview. You can see many fearful and counterphobic people. You can fix that through exposure therapy and mindful thinking but emotions drastically impact your life. Most people think that they are moral and correct but it’s usually just following their emotions. You can have 2 different experiences if first time your emotional reaction is different than second time.
You should learn that those are automatic thoughts and you shouldn’t automatically believe them as a fact. You can easily get scared, doesn’t mean you’re in immediate danger.
Negative thoughts helps you be aware, anxiety protects you from potentially going into unsafe environment but you can also use rationale to see when they’re being rational and when they’re being irrational.
Fe-D. In your view, what does it mean to be calm? How can someone reduce the amount of emotionality happening in others around them? When would it be appropriate to adjust this?
Calmness is perfect balance of emotions and hormones in your body.
You can avoid people, you can try to persuade them, you can try to adapt, you can try to find common ground and so on.
Being appropriate is subjective but it’s usually when emotions reactions are irrational and do more bad than good.
Fe-E. How can you tell how someone is feeling? Describe some signs to look for. What are some giveaways that someone’s internal state is different from what they’re expressing on the outside?
Se
Se-A. To what extent does an individual’s appearance and external presentation affect them? How aware are you of the way you come off? Should people always consider how they look? Why or why not?
I care a lot about how I look because I think that your presentation of your looks is tied to your inner world which means that you’re able to stand out and show your inner world on first impression and external appearance.
I don’t understand why some people don’t care about aesthetics because I think they bring aesthetics and meaning to the world and offer you ability to be different and stand out which shapes your identity and uniqueness.
I don’t care about appearing reach nor capable. I don’t dress to impress people. I enjoy standing out but I primarily dress in order to construct my identity and have pleasant sensations when I look at art.
Se-B. Describe your view on money. What can it do for someone, and how does access to it affect people? What are your thoughts on riskier approaches to attaining it, such as risky investments or criminal activity?
Money is made up concept which is used as leverage and resource in our world. This can be very useful and can offer you freedom, leverage, power and control.
I don’t care a lot about money, I only care that I have enough to live unburdened life.
You can argue whether crime is moral or not but it is what it is. There are multiple ways to obtain money. Work smart not hard.
Gambling is stupid because it’s low probability of winning and it’s mostly about stimulation rather than believing that you’ll win, although false hope is also present.
Se-C. What would you consider your short and long term material goals? How do they compare to the goals of others? How can you tell if someone is striving for the right goals?
I want to live isolated life with my possessions and safety that people can’t touch nor impact.
I don’t care about goals of others.
I’m also not very ambitious.
Se-D. What makes a person or organization look “put-together”? Are these people and groups more able to exert their will over others? Why or why not? What makes a person good at organizing and directing the will of themselves and others?
It’s mostly about impression, lever and competency they radiate around people.
They need to know how to impact thje world in a way that will result to positive or extected outcome.
It seems to do with ability to radiate pressure to people.
Se-E. One famous English adage is that “If there is a will, there is a way.” Do you agree? Why or why not? To what extent an individual’s will affect their ability to accomplish their goals?
You can do what you will but you can’t will what you will.
You can use volition as driving force but you can’t go through laws of universe.
You can use discipline and volition but only for so long until lack of passion and motivation cripples you into a hollow abyss.
Ne
Ne-A. What would you consider to be the essence – or meaning – of existence? Should life’s meaning be personal or collectively shared by humanity? Why?
There’s no objective meaning in the universe, only cause and effect based on laws of universe and relative frameworks but meaning is purely made and relative to human mind which is separate framework which constructs relative perception filled with meaning, bias and emotions that exist due to its hardware or body.
Your meaning should be purely yours and disconnected from society’s desires but that’s just my subjective opinion and value, although I can acknowledge that some may consider common shared interests and needs as common good.
I believe in Adam Smith’s Invisible Hand which says that selfish goals contribute to common good.
Ne-B. What makes someone have potential? What makes an individual more capable at something than others? When is it important to consider these capabilities? Can a person be truly hopeless? Why or why not?
Potential is when you take human body and you’re able to put it in any kind of simulated environment which may have different impacts and influences onto someone.
You may not be an artist but still have a ton of aritistic potential that you’re capable off even if you’re curently stuck in environment which didn’t make you pursue something out of external reasons.
This is why I value potential more because you still can do something but if you don’t have potential, you’re incapable of doing it.
Someone who is disabled and in wheelchair, doesn’t have potential to walk but in scenario of genetic engineering, they do. It’s always relative to the scope.
You can be hopeless because potential may seem out of reach and out of your idealized verison of something’s probability of becoming reality.
Ne-C. What must an individual understand to physically and spiritually develop themselves? Is it more important to recognize the flaws or the strengths that people are given? Why?
We need to see that our strenghts and flaws primarily exist out of combination of our bodies and environments. We shouldn’t punish based on actions but rather help people and recognize that their minds were affected by negative environment which can lead them to maximizing their inner potential which could have had been if they were in different environment.
Ne-D. How would you determine how good an idea is? Do these ideas need to be realistic to be worthwhile? How would you differentiate a promising opportunity from a dead end?
Depends on what you mean by good? Whether something is probable? I would try to simulate in and consider things based on how plausible and probable each scenario is and whether it contradicts itself or not.
You could also value how useful it is or how meaningful it is but that has nothing to do with idea but rather personal utilization and importance.
Promising is anything that’s still probable if you simulate it in realistic and probable environment.
Ne-E. What does it mean for someone to understand the “essence” of something? When should someone prioritize understanding the core characteristics of a phenomenon? Think of a topic or field of interest you are knowledgeable in. What do you think lies at the essence of it? What does this suggest about the way people should approach it?
Understanding essence is a combination of impersonal logic, gut intuition and emotional understanding. You may understand something on surface level but you may not understand emotional nuance. You may also understand something on logical level but you may not have intuitive grasp of familiarity and essence that appears like an atmosphere connecting when you intuitively know where it leads and where it came from as gut reassurance.
People usually focus too much on biased impression of something and or lack of nuance when it comes to depth of specific field which makes them ignore a lot of details and alternatives that may be connected to certain aspect or concept.
Ti
Ti-A. What would you understand as an individual’s basic needs? Are these the same for everyone? To what extent do people rely on others to get their needs met? At what points does this become overreliance or underreliance?
Depends. Since we share DNA, we have similar needs that fit across the spectrum but there are also many aspects that cause us to make us very different.
Some people follow various systems, like law, religion, culture, philosophy and so on. These systems give them guidance and stability in life.
I don’t think that anyone should rely on anyone in life but it’s appreciated if people choose to help others in need.
Ti-B. How do people gain leverage, power, and respect from others? Is it sometimes necessary to use threats, fear, and punishment to accomplish this? Why or why not?
You can achieve leverage and control in multiple ways. You can use money, persuasion, crowd control or manipulation to control people’s behavior.
You can use charisma or fear in order to control people. Both are valid metrics but come with different factors.
People will differ based on their subjective interpretation of what kind of approach they value and prefer to use towards other people.
Ti-C. One commonly used idiom is that “Everything has its place.” What does this mean to you? How do things being “in their place” contribute to orderliness? Do you agree with the idiom? Why or why not?
I’m not really sure because not everything fits into everything completely but whole world does make sense based on source code of the universe which puts everything in its own place since it’s capable of being processed.
Ti-D. What makes hierarchies work? When are they appropriate to use, and what do they provide to people? Should they always strive for equality and justice? Why or why not?
Hierarchies and rules work because there is always someone above that has more power and leverage over you. Countries don’t exist in objective truth but only exist relatively as long as country has a power to support its own existance. Law only works as long as it has police and army enforcing it. It’s not like computer’s source code which exists on its own just because it’s created and is fundemental for existances of operating system.
Ti-E. What does it mean for something to be logical? Is this the norm? Provide an example of something logical and illogical, and compare what makes the first logical and the second not.
For me, logic is human ability to reason cause and effect in simulated environment or relative framework which has its own parameters and laws. Those things need to be coherent and follow laws in order to not contradict each other. If it’s logical, then it must be possible, not necessarily plasubile nor probable. It’s illogical if it contradicts itself and created paradox or fallacy.
Fi
Fi-A. What does it mean to be emotionally close to or distant from someone? In what ways can you adjust your “emotional distance” to someone else? For what reasons would you decide to do this?
That’s hard to say because it doesn’t clarify whether it’s from your end or theirs? Two people can have very different relations to each other. One may feel closer while another may experience emotional distance.
I personally know who I feel connected to, feel comfortable around and like or dislike but I definitely can’t know for sure how they feel towards me except for imagining and noticing their cues.
Emotional distance can be increased when you lower your connection, dependance and emotional affect that other person can have on you.
Fi-B. Share some thoughts on how you view love and desire. What makes a person desirable? Is this the norm? Are some people more deserving of these than others? Why or why not?
Love is something that you experience as emotionally pleasant experience which makes you feel worthy of sacrifice for, offers you familiarity and stability in life but desire is something that you have drive towards getting or obtaining which is like a string pulling you towards something. Something that you feel like you “need” rather than “care” about in terms of its full range with positive and negatives.
Person or object is desireable when you feel a need to obtain it because you experience strong desire or motivation to have, possess or get stimulated by.
People desire different things based on their emotional relation to the world which was influenced by their past experiences that have built their inner world of desires and fears.
Deserving is very subjective and relatiave concept because it has to do with your own mental world and its own value based system. You could argue that some aspects are more valuable and profitable but won’t offer same amount of stimulation for someone. Someone may chase someone who will be unhealthy towards them but due to their past experiences and current desire, they will get more stimulation out of them for those reasons, this can also have as much of negative affects on someone’s psyche.
Fi-C. Describe what morality means to you. What does it mean for something or someone to be good or bad? What does it take for something bad to become good? Are some things truly irredeemable? Why or why not?
To me, morality is very relative concept to humans and society. People do share similar morals because we share similar experiences, environments and DNA which results in similar cognitions and preferences.
I think that morality is completely subjective but we can extract what may be useful for general population but may still have a high margin error of positive for various demographics and different individuals.
Whether you are irredeemable isn’t a static. It’s entirely based on your environment, people and their experiences. Some people are more forgiving then others, some value different things. Some tribes think cannibalism is moral, some countries thing weed is moral, some support age of consent at 13 and some at 18. These things all change based on who is in control, who inspires and how these things integrate through time and space. Medieval Europe was different than current Europe. It will continue to change.
Fi-D. How are people shaped by their relationships with their friends and family? How do these differ from romantic ones? Are non-romantic relationships more important than romantic ones? Why or why not?
People have subconscious which is strongly affected based on how humans interact with them. This is useful evolutionary in order to shape your survivability. Childhood trauma is very strong impact on how you develop and process emotions and relationships throughout your life. People grow depending on their experience and relationships much more than they do with age. Their bodies may adapt to age but their experiences shape their mind in much greater way. Some people develop at 16 what others don’t develop until 18. This can be due to relationship trauma, lack of experience of emotional validation and safety from caregivers or even society.
All relationships leave subtle cues and impressions in your mind which strongly relate to your emotions, identity and safety around people.
Fi-E. What can establishing new relationships with people do for someone? Is making new contacts with others as important as deepening the ones people already have? Why or why not?
Depends on people. It may include positive potential, responsibilities and even potential vulnerabilities.
I personally value loyalty and finding right people over expanding networking but it can have positive and negative impacts on your and your potential or your experience.
Si
Si-A. One of the key themes in the bestselling book Atomic Habits is that what people have in their surrounding environment is the greatest subconscious driver of how they live their life. Do you agree? Why or why not? How can changing the environment around someone impact the way they live their life?
It depends. Environment does definitely have overwhelming affect on people. It doesn’t mean that you will automatically be your environment, it can also manifest in your rejection of environment.
What you think, you get by senses through experience and environment. It’s information that you process and you also get associations.
If you’re in negative environment, your daily thinking will automatically have negative association, neurotic stimuli and even negative momentum which can make you stuck in your comfort zone.
You are primarily controlled by environment since reality is cause and effect of material matter.
Going to gym can help you improve appreciation, energy levels, blood flow and other stuff in life life. Same with other stuff. Every aspect of your environment has a different effect on you.
Si-B. How should people approach managing their health and well-being? How does this compare to the way you approach your own? When should people be taking their health and well-being into account? Why?
People often fixate too much on things. It’s most important to have perfect balance. Extremes are unhealthy too and will exhaust you. People should primarily use reason of science and just listen to their bodies for what they were made through evolution and what your body is telling you that you lack.
Si-C. Think about the way sensations, both good and bad, shape the way people live and experience their lives. How important are experiencing good sensations in one’s life? Is there a limit to how much one should chase these? What role do negative sensations play in our lives?
Positive sensations can give you motivation and comfort but can also give you escapism which will create cope and comfort zone that will keep you from progressing and external environment.
Negative experience can push you into action but can also have negative trauma associated with it.
Si-D. Choose one of the following: art, clothing, photography, graphic design. What makes something well-designed in that area? How do the individual components work together to generate the experience?
You could argue that something is well made in quality or that it serves a purpose but I think that those things are very subjective. I like art because it’s pleasant to me, shows my inner world and has ability to stimulate me. I like food that I like, other people like food that they like, I have my own experience and association connected to sensory elements.
You have your favorite color because throughout your life, the color was associated with pleasant stimuli and experiences, this led you to associate it with positivity.
Si-E. Describe what your living & working environments are like. How do they affect you? Would other people be similarly affected in the same environment? Why or why not? What changes could you make to improve it? How would these be beneficial?
I enjoy having things aesthetically pleasant, well organized which offers me spatial awareness without confusion or disorientation. I care about cleanliness and peace. Environment is predictable and makes me feel cozy. I can’t sleep in someone else’s bed. I need a little experience with something before it makes me feel familiar and comfortable. I care a lot about novelty within familiarity. I enjoy that environment and systems work smoothly.
Ni
Ni-A. How do people’s relationship to the past, present, and future influence the way they currently live their lives? To what extent does this affect them? How does this influence your own life?
People always progress through time and space but I personally have my timeline, that’s in my head and very visual. I see my life as a protagonist in someone’s book. I feel that I’m Tolkien writing Aragorn and want to construct perfect identity by connecting past to future and creating ideal timeline.
Some people can overly obsess about their past and future which can be unhealthy.
I definitely struggle with living in the moment because I regret past and I’m indecisive about future since ideal way is unlikely which makes me struggle to settle for second best.
Ni-B. What does it mean for a person to be at a certain “phase” of their life? What puts people into the phases they’re currently in? How does this affect the way people navigate their lives?
It’s a dynamic chapter in someone’s life that have a static interval for its own reference and zone. It means that you have different experience, body and future at that time than at different time. At that time, you have different things in your short term memory which makes you behave differently. You also have different experiences and preferences.
I personally hate this because I want to have consistent identity throughout my life.
Ni-C. How do you anticipate events unfolding? How can you observe them unfolding in your environment? How do you adjust yourself towards the way things are developing? Provide some examples.
I visualize things in cause and effect. In empty 3 dimensional space. I take picture of environment. Reconstruct it in my head. Envision how it could unfold.
Before I take action, I take in account what I did in the past and what I will most likely do in future, this makes action more in momentum of timeline. I don’t want to do something that isn’t consistend with past nor ideal with future that I want. I adapt my choice to idealized future and one that is actually probable which makes me weigh pros and cons in real time.
I can just do something without taking in account my past choices nor my future choices of my identity and movie.
Ni-D. Think about the way you experience the pace and rhythm of your life. What dictates the speed in which time flies? Why do you think people experience time passing at different rates?
I constantly move in and out of momentum. I’m quick to zone out of things because I usually live internally, it’s like an atmosphere. This is why I enjoy music, it allows me to separate myself from environment and get into flow of life through introspection.
Time feels relative to my enjoyment and focus or self awareness. People experience life differently, appreciate things differently and adapt to things differently.
Ni-E. Consider each of the following feelings people have about time: hurriedness, anxiety, optimism/pessimism. What causes people to experience these feelings? What role do they play in our lives? To what extent are these feelings beneficial?
They’re good instincts in order to adapt properly to momentum of time in your life but people can usually feel a lot of regret or similar negative feelings which will result in them become anxious from unpredictable future, too many choices or even stuck in traumatic past.
People should be able to recognize them and learn from them. What they mean and how to fix them.
Expeiences and causations may have various effects on your mind and perception of your life’s potential which can have positive effect that you can properly fix your momentum or they can have negative effect which will result you being paranoid and stuck in past.
