    INTP, ENTP, or ENFP

    Thanks for your patience! :)

    How much of this seems INTP-ish?

    -When making a decision I tend to make that decision (either by imagination or literally) first to test how it works, and if I don't like it, then I change my mind. For example, I keep changing what my personality type appears as on PerC.

    -This is me in class...
    Teacher - Coffee beans are acidic
    Me - *thinks about it* Actually I think coffee is probably basic. Coffee is bitter, and bitter things are usually basic.
    Teacher - I think it's acidic. I say that because it causes acid reflux.
    Me - *thinks more about this but doesn't say any more. decides that coffee (or something in coffee) must be basic because the reaction between an acid (like stomach acid) and a base (like caffiene) would cause the sphyncter (sorry for spelling) between the stomach and the esophagus to not be able to stay closed and the stomach acid would leak into the esophagus and cause burning) doesn't know any of this for sure but thinks her theory makes sense enough. Makes a mental note to google the acidity of coffee later and perhaps google the causes of acid reflux too*
    Teacher - *has been talking the whole time when I finally snap out of my thoughts*

    -I can come up with many fresh ideas, but I can also take one and soar with it (in other words obsess over it until every detail is right)

    -People tell me that I over-analyze things to the point where it's no longer a strength of mine but a weakness

    -I can't decide wether I'm extroverted or introverted. I think I'm quite content with both.

    -I'm excentric/quirky. I would be the person to dress up all crazy and stuff.

    -I despise when people do things "by the book". I really do hate it. New ways of doing things are always good, even if they are more inefficient because I have more fun when things aren't the same all the time. I'm not into schedules, and tend to decide to do things very last minute and enjoy it more if it wasn't planned.

    -I'm very touched by stories, especially ones my friends tell me.

    -Brilliant ideas

    -I love to lead.

    -I've always been childish yet mature. I don't show my mature side to many people though. I frequently got frustrated when I was younger that kids wouldn't grow up as fast as I did.

    -I don't take well to critisism....at all...

    -People describe me as being authentic, not two-faced, ect...

    -I get annoyed when things aren't perfect. I like to do things myself to make sure they're done right the first time. I will spend the time to make a PowerPoint look just right because I think it's the little details that make the biggest difference on the overall picture.

    -I doubt things a lot. But I'm confident in myself

    -I'm a happy person. I have a bubbly side and a very non-bubbly side too. I would say it's about 50-50 between the two.

    -One of my favorite things to think about is the future. :)

    Feel free to ask me questions if you need to know more.

    Oh and one more thing. I think I might seem extroverted sometimes because I'm bold and I like to lead. But I don't think boldness has anything to do with E vs I

    Hey, have you filled out the questionnaire? You'll probably get more responses once that's filled out :)

    @KokuroNya

    I have ideas, but typing people online can be difficult without enough info.
    Please fill out Questionnaire in sticky thread section... I would be glad to take a look at it for you if/when posted.

    1) What aspect of your personality made you unsure of your type?
    I overanalyze stuff alot. My thinking is introverted (I think) and my feeling is extroverted (I think. I say this because I take critisism too personally)

    2) What do you yearn for in life? Why?
    I want to start a medical mission and help people and have lots of fun and learn lots of cool things about other people/cultures/lifestyles (just saying, I think any personality type could want that) I also want to be open to everything. I like to consider other beliefs before shutting them completely down. That way, I have a better idea of WHY I believe something.

    3) Think about a time where you felt like you were at your finest. Tell us what made you feel that way.
    I feel this way whenever I come up with a brilliant idea. I tend to shy away from recognition though. Like if I make a good poster/project for a class, I tend to avoid talking to the teacher for a few days so that they won't praise me for it.

    4) What makes you feel inferior?
    Being younger than everyone else. I've always been the youngest. =/
    I also hate when other people are smarter than I am, but that's only with some people.

    5) What tends to weigh on your decisions? (Do you think about people, pro-cons, how you feel about it, etc.)
    I like to make descisions based on what I want in my future. For example, I want to be a missionary-type person, therefore, I tend to make descisions now based on what I think a good person would do.
    Haha that's probably not very helpful...

    6) When working on a project what is normally your emphasis? Do you like to have control of the outcome?
    Everything must look good, make sense, and be perfect. I will take over if I think something isn't being done well.

    7) Describe us a time where you had a lot of fun. How is your memory of it?
    Whatchu talkin about? I have fun all dah time! :)
    ummm...I can't think of anything specific right now.

    8) When you want to learn something new, what feels more natural for you? (Are you more prone to be hands on, to theorize, to memorize, etc)
    theorize/memorize/imagine/overanalyze

    9) How organized do you to think of yourself as?
    Pretty well-organized I guess. But I'm not at all routine and my thoughts are kinda scattered usually

    10) How do you judge new ideas? You try to understand the principles behind it to see if they make sense or do you look for information that supports it?
    Both at the same time. I go back and forth until I understand the situation fully. I like exploring new ideas (even if I whole-heartedly don't agree with them) simply to understand why people believe what they believe.

    11) You find harmony by making sure everyone is doing fine and belonging to a given group or by making sure that you follow what you believe and being yourself?
    I follow what I believe. Sometimes I don't consider others as well as I should.

    12) Are you the kind that thinks before speaking or do you speak before thinking? Do you prefer one-on-one communication or group discussions?
    All

    13) Do you jump into action right away or do you like to know where are you jumping before leaping? Does action speaks more than words?
    I jump and then change my mind (after analyzing too much) and eventually I settle...jk...I only think I'm settled. I'm sure to change my mind again at some point.

    14) It's Saturday. You're at home, and your favorite show is about to start. Your friends call you for a night out. What will you do?
    DVR the show and chill with my peeps

    15) How do you act when you're stressed out?
    I rarely get stressed out, but when I do, I rampantly look for Harry Potter's invisibility cloak.

    16) What makes you dislike the personalities of some people?
    Introverted sensing. End of story.

    17) Is there anything you really like talking about with other people?
    anime, dreaming up stuff together, ideas, idk...anything I guess :)

    18) What kind of things do pay the least attention to in your life
    Sometimes the people around me. I lose sight of the little things and only see the big picture (in an overanalyzed way haha)

    19) How do your friends perceive you? What is wrong about their perception? ? What would your friends never say about your personality ?
    They all perceive me quite differently. The only one thing that I think all of my friends can agree on is that I'm a bit "blonde" sometimes. (I often fake being stupid so that I don't have to show off how smart I am. I like being the smartest in the room and having no one know that it's me)

    20) You got a whole day to do whatever you like. What kind of activities do you feel like doing?
    depends on when you ask me. This week it would be writing. Last week it would have been tubing or other fun things. Next week it will probably be something new.

    Oh one more thing.

    I think constantly wondering WHY is what makes me so overanalytical

    Ne, Fi, and Te are all accounted for... smells like an ENFP :P

    1) What aspect of your personality made you unsure of your type?
    I overanalyze stuff alot. My thinking is introverted (I think) and my feeling is extroverted (I think. I say this because I take critisism too personally)

    Fi can also analyze (but through rational ethics, not rational logic)... so not much here yet.
    Taking criticism personally... could be either Fe/Fi.


    2) What do you yearn for in life? Why?
    I want to start a medical mission and help people and have lots of fun and learn lots of cool things about other people/cultures/lifestyles (just saying, I think any personality type could want that) I also want to be open to everything. I like to consider other beliefs before shutting them completely down. That way, I have a better idea of WHY I believe something.

    Feelings. Caring for others. All over this one, lol. Still inconclusive for F or T, though.
    Considering other beliefs and not mentioning your own suggests an orientation to the object in some way (external environment) instead of the subject (self/ego).


    I'll include a link the bottom that explains this...



    3) Think about a time where you felt like you were at your finest. Tell us what made you feel that way.
    I feel this way whenever I come up with a brilliant idea. I tend to shy away from recognition though. Like if I make a good poster/project for a class, I tend to avoid talking to the teacher for a few days so that they won't praise me for it.

    Vague... I can think of a few possibilities.
    You don't want attention for fear of being in the spotlight?
    You don't want to be praised for fear of feeling selfish (for attracting attention/praise to the self)?
    Anything else? Mix? Etc.


    4) What makes you feel inferior?
    Being younger than everyone else. I've always been the youngest. =/
    I also hate when other people are smarter than I am, but that's only with some people.

    On not liking being Youngest: Based on social standards set by others? Suggests object orientation rather than subject orientation. But this could also be subjective Si. Idk.
    NT's tend to admire/hate those smarter than them in some ways... it's a possibility, I guess.

    5) What tends to weigh on your decisions? (Do you think about people, pro-cons, how you feel about it, etc.)
    I like to make descisions based on what I want in my future. For example, I want to be a missionary-type person, therefore, I tend to make descisions now based on what I think a good person would do.
    Haha that's probably not very helpful...

    You don't seem to have any problem thinking about long-term/future goals. You actually sound pretty comfortable and forward-looking.


    6) When working on a project what is normally your emphasis? Do you like to have control of the outcome?
    Everything must look good, make sense, and be perfect. I will take over if I think something isn't being done well.

    Sounds like a Pe/Ji or Ji/Pe type answer, since it's concerned with internal consistency and overall appearance ... rather than overall arrangement (type with Je as either 1st or 2nd)

    7) Describe us a time where you had a lot of fun. How is your memory of it?
    Whatchu talkin about? I have fun all dah time! :)
    ummm...I can't think of anything specific right now.

    Blah, lol

    8) When you want to learn something new, what feels more natural for you? (Are you more prone to be hands on, to theorize, to memorize, etc)
    theorize/memorize/imagine/overanalyze

    N?
    The way you picked these specific words and slashed them together implying equal weight makes me wanna think NP. Which would fit with (Pe/Ji) or (Ji/Pe). But idk.

    9) How organized do you to think of yourself as?
    Pretty well-organized I guess. But I'm not at all routine and my thoughts are kinda scattered usually

    Not enough here to generate any possibilities here...

    10) How do you judge new ideas? You try to understand the principles behind it to see if they make sense or do you look for information that supports it?
    Both at the same time. I go back and forth until I understand the situation fully. I like exploring new ideas (even if I whole-heartedly don't agree with them) simply to understand why people believe what they believe.

    Again, sounds like an exploring Pe function. Since this whole thing sounds like N answers... I'm leaning toward Ne-dom/Ne-aux.
    Se wouldn't be impossible, unless you decide to rule it out.

    11) You find harmony by making sure everyone is doing fine and belonging to a given group or by making sure that you follow what you believe and being yourself?
    I follow what I believe. Sometimes I don't consider others as well as I should.

    Suggests NP/SJ config.
    Obv, leaning to NP here, lol.
    There's a lot about this one I don't wanna type out at the moment, but I could explain upon request.


    12) Are you the kind that thinks before speaking or do you speak before thinking? Do you prefer one-on-one communication or group discussions?
    All

    Blah, lol.

    13) Do you jump into action right away or do you like to know where are you jumping before leaping? Does action speaks more than words?
    I jump and then change my mind (after analyzing too much) and eventually I settle...jk...I only think I'm settled. I'm sure to change my mind again at some point.

    NP/SP?

    14) It's Saturday. You're at home, and your favorite show is about to start. Your friends call you for a night out. What will you do?
    DVR the show and chill with my peeps

    Well-played!

    15) How do you act when you're stressed out?
    I rarely get stressed out, but when I do, I rampantly look for Harry Potter's invisibility cloak.

    Me, too!

    16) What makes you dislike the personalities of some people?
    Introverted sensing. End of story.

    BAM, so you're prolly not SJ. Lol

    17) Is there anything you really like talking about with other people?
    anime, dreaming up stuff together, ideas, idk...anything I guess :)

    N?

    18) What kind of things do pay the least attention to in your life
    Sometimes the people around me. I lose sight of the little things and only see the big picture (in an overanalyzed way haha)

    N?

    19) How do your friends perceive you? What is wrong about their perception? ? What would your friends never say about your personality ?
    They all perceive me quite differently. The only one thing that I think all of my friends can agree on is that I'm a bit "blonde" sometimes. (I often fake being stupid so that I don't have to show off how smart I am. I like being the smartest in the room and having no one know that it's me)

    One-upmanship (your description sounds like signature strategic Ne). I do that, too. Shh.
    Still unclear on T/F, but leaning toward T.


    20) You got a whole day to do whatever you like. What kind of activities do you feel like doing?
    depends on when you ask me. This week it would be writing. Last week it would have been tubing or other fun things. Next week it will probably be something new.
