Ahhhhh help?
Hello!! I've been Typed by my friends INFJ, but honestly it doesnt fit me that well especially when I looked into it. So for the last 2 years i typed myself as ISTJ but i want confirmation because people keep giving me multiple types that they think I am. My partner thinks I am ESTJ so i guess its closer to ISTJ than INFJ? But i'd rather be told by people who know since im starting to think my Type is me making a bias decision :]
(Ill answer the question template)
What do you do as a job or as a career (if you have one)? Do you like it? Why or why not? If you are not working, what kind of job do you want to do or what are you studying?
- Not currently working. However I'm studying a B.Medical Science then from there get into medical school with the intention of becoming a GP and maybe specialise in somethint (unsure as of now)
Describe your childhood/upbringing. Did it have any kind of ideological or structured influence? How did you respond to it? Did you have any significant negative experiences that may have affected how you think or behave?
- I was nonverbal until i was 4 years old. From 4-9 yos i didnt make close friends or bothered to make friends. My parents would usually force me to be 'normal' because at that age i wouldnt make eye contact with my family or strangers. The most significant thing at that age must be moving countries. But when i moved at the age 9-10 i was much more outgoing, opinionated and expressive. This confuses me because I'm not like that right now. My parents also werent strict so i was prone to slacking off academically and my marks proved so (D-Cs). When i started scondary school i did significantly better because people in primary school would make fun of me as a result of my marks. I started getting high Bs to As in highschool because i hated being worse than others.
Do you have any mental or physical health issues that might affect how think or choose to live? Provide a brief description.

If you had to spend an entire weekend by yourself, how would you feel? Would you feel lonely or refreshed?

I also tend to be very curious about peoples beliefs like religions or philosophy. I enjoy the fact that people are different than me.

In all honesty Im curious about anything that doesnt fit my ideologies as i am interested in peoples perspectives. And yes it is both environmental and conceptual.
Would you enjoy taking on a leadership position? Do you think you would be good at it? What would your leadership style be?

What's your opinion about the past, present, and future? How do you deal with them?
- I discussed this with my friend recently, i personally think the past and the present is much more important than the future. I do not make long term goals but def short term but thats besides the point. Anyway, i believe this because the past helps me reevaluate things in the present, almost like a guide for the future in my perspective

Do you need logical consistency in your life?
- yes
How important is efficiency and productivity to you?
Do you control others, even if indirectly? How and why do you do that?
- very important i hateeeee wasting time. I wouldnt call it controlling others, but giving advice so their valuable time also isnt wasted because they complain about not having time and never change their habits and that bothers me
What are your hobbies? Why do you like them?
- I love reading, writing, doing logic puzzles like suduko (multiple a day), chess and I dont know how much of this counts but commentary videos
What is your learning style? What kind of learning environments do you struggle with most? Why do you like/struggle with these learning styles? Do you prefer classes involving memorization, logic, creativity, or your physical senses?

How attached are you to reality? Do you daydream often, or do you pay attention to what's around you? If you do daydream, are you aware of your surroundings while you do so?
- I dont day dream as often as i like, mostly because i love observing things rather than imagining things
Imagine you are alone in a blank, empty room. There is nothing for you to do and no one to talk to. What do you think about?
- that sounds horrible, i guess id think about why im there?

Do you break rules often? Do you think authority should be challenged, or that they know better? If you do break rules, why would you?
- i dont break rules, i never did, and even if everyone around me did i wouldnt. Even something as stupid as walking into the exist door makes me frustrated. I even remind others about rules (annoying i know). I would even say i hate cheating on tests and if someone did i wouldnt take it lightly
What is the ideal life, in your opinion?
- maybe stablitity? Being perfect for sure but to myself not others because I bring myself down when i do mistakes but that also doesnt mean i hate criticism ( I love it)
If were talking more straight forward, i love the city life becaude there is noise but youre not forced to open up conversations so it doesnt feel lonely but doesnt feel tiring either.
Thats all! Im more than happy to answer other questions thank you!
