What's Your Type? (1) Based on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator; this is eerily accurate. What type do you fit into? vive_la_revolution published on November 17, 201535 responses 20 « Previous Next » Questions in vertical order 1/9 In what ways are you particularly hard on yourself? My sense of purpose drives me to be doing more, and I hate when I waste my life. I feel like I should be doing MORE. However, beyond that, I'm generally hard on myself a lot. I want to accomplish all of my own goals while keeping everyone around me happy, and when I can't do that, I start to get mad at myself. I have a very strict set of inner morals that I try to follow to the letter; I'm always trying to be certain that I'm the very best that I can be and I'm hard on myself when I don't reach the standard that I want to. I want to always be able to overcome new obstacles without difficulty and I'm always pushing myself to be better; when I don't match up, I get really frustrated with myself. I'm often accused of judging others, but I don't judge them anywhere near as much as I judge myself. I'm always reaching for infinity and expecting myself to be smarter, tougher, and wiser than I already am. I have big goals, which I'm always pushing myself to achieve. I almost always think that I could be doing better. In the end, though, all of my hard work usually rewards me with a bunch of self-confidence. I'm very specific and precise, and I judge myself a lot. I have to make sure that everything about an idea is perfect before it comes out of my mouth, and I'll get upset wiht myself if it isn't. I'm always shoving and pushing myself to be harder, but it's not necessarily a bad thing. I do well under pressure and love to defeat challenges. I'm very duty driven and believe in always doing what's right. I believe in getting things done with no excuses and will shove myself beyond reason to meet my personal goals. I can be hard on myself, but this is never influenced by people around me but by my own self. When I accomplish what I'm after, I'll be extremely confident; failure seems to mock me. I always put a lot of pressure on myself to take care of those around me and tend to push myself more than is probably good for me in an effort to be a good, hardworking, responsible person. I want to look good to those around me, and I'm constantly piling pressure on myself -- and hiding it. I prefer to not let others know about my lack of self-confidence and tend to shove myself even harder if they seem to sense it. I'm more carefree and can let go of worries and expectations more easily than most. You only live once, right? So you might as well enjoy it. I'm always searching for new thrills; when I'm hard on myself, it's sometimes difficult for me to even realize it since it's subconscious. I try to be better even when I don't mean to. I'm a very sensitive person, so I definitely push myself very hard to make sure that I never hurt others the way that some hurt me. I can be extremely tough on myself if I think that I've hurt someone. I realize that no one's perfect, and I'm OK with that. Life goes on. It's better to enjoy life than to stress about everything. 2/9 How do you process your own emotions? It's sometimes hard for me to be in touch with my own self. I have lots of layers, and sometimes it's nearly impossible to know where my heart truly is. I don't exactly prioritize myself; I tend to care about the emotions of others more and spend more time on them. I often find myself avoiding thinking about how I really feel. Sometimes it takes time to sort it out thoroughly, but I see and know what's in my head very clearly. I can see everything from a unique point of view and can figure out what I'm feeling pretty easily. I feel things very deeply, and I know exactly what I want and how I feel about everything. It's not hard to sort through my own emotions because they're so clear. But, like glass, they're also sensitive. I'm not exactly a fan of my own emotions, but I'm not as disconnected from them as some people think. I just tend to sort through them in a more logical way, looking at motivations and reasoning behind everything. I feel things very deeply, but I prefer to push my own feelings aside and have trouble accepting them. I'm extremely loyal, but have a hard time expressing my feelings. I struggle with understanding my own emotions, mostly because I'm constantly looking for logic in them. I feel emotions very deeply, which is weird for me since I have such a tough time comprehending them or even liking them. I'm not exactly the most emotionally driven kind of person, and I prefer to ignore or avoid my own feelings through humor or playfulness. I hate being overly emotional, and may try to avoid emotions altogether. I'm extremely internal and private, and would very much rather keep my thoughts to myself than express them. Even so, I do feel them very deeply. I prefer to keep them hidden, and sort through them over long periods of time. I find my own emotions annoying and bothersome. I don't really understand them or why they're there. I really just want to be seen as the tough individual, so I tend to block out my emotions entirely sometimes, not wanting to deal with them. I prefer to keep my thoughts and feelings to myself; I don't want to be a bother to everyone else. I spend most of my time examining other people's emotions and trying to help them rather than looking at my own. I don't see my emotions as anywhere near as important as the feelings of others. I shut them out, wanting to be able to think through other people's emotions rather than my own. I tend to try to help others more than myself. I often look for logical reasoning and thought patterns behind my emotions, wanting to apply them in a way that actually makes sense. I usually try to ignore my own feelings and try to find things to distract myself with. I prefer to look at logic behind my emotions if I break them out at all, because I see emotions as stifling and strange. I feel my emotions very deeply and powerfully. I find it difficult -- if not impossible -- to ignore or avoid my feelings, and I get easily overwhelmed by the sheer number of them. I can be observant, but I am a very deep feeler. I prefer to express my thoughts and emotions as a way to understand them, and understanding them is crucial to me. 3/9 How do you process other people's emotions? I can sense other people's emotions almost before they can; I sometimes spend more time trying to help them sort it out then looking through my own self. I'm good at reading people, even when they try to hide their feelings. I always try to be supportive and helpful. I can tell what other people are going through often by my own personal experiences. I filter through what they say and look for deeper meaning that I connect to things that have happened to me. I'm very understanding and sensitive, and I'm a good listener. I like when people express the truth to me instead of hiding it. I'm good at figuring out the motives of others, often using my own experiences to figure it out. I don't really have that much of a connection to the emotions of others. I'm more logical and try to apply reasoning to other people's actions rather than searching for deeper meanings. It's hard for me to figure out other people's emotions; when they act upset or hurt, it's hard for me to know what to do and I start to feel sort of awkward. When people are constantly emotional around me, it can get very annoying. I'm logic based, but I look for deep meaning in everything. I can understand actions and motives, but it's hard for me to comprehend other people's emotions. I constantly try to apply logic to other people's feelings, which frustrates everyone. I'm usually open and fun, but it's difficult for me to accept other people's emotions. I don't always react well to overly emotional people, but I can understand it reasonably well. I'm very loyal and dutiful, but not very in touch with the emotions of others. I try to provide everything someone might logically need, but emotional support isn't exactly my strong suit. I'm very practical and driven, and I work hard to be responsible and reliable; however, I don't place much importance on the emotions of people or know how to react. People who outwardly express lots of emotions confuse and frustrate me. I'm very connected to the emotions of others, and I constantly strive to supply emotional support and comfort. I try to make everyone I love feel safe and appreciated. I'm always willing to hear people out and be understanding. I'm acutely aware of the emotions of other people, and have a sense for how my actions will make others feel. I want everyone around me to feel happy, so I find myself denying my own self a lot for the sake of others. I find it easy to control my own feelings, and it frustrates me when others can't do the same. I understand that they have feelings, but I can't comprehend the need to openly and constantly express them. I'm not very comfortable about emotionally open people and tend to get annoyed with people who are needy or demanding. Despite this, I'm pretty good at determining other people's feelings. I always try to be open and understanding; while I don't have an acute natural sense for other people's feelings, I do my best to develop one. I'm more capable of connecting to those similar to me than others in general. I'm very caring and affectionate, but I don't understand it when people are emotionally demanding or needy. I try to make others happy, and people that seem upset for no reason can frustrate me. 4/9 Which of these is something that you would absolutely NEVER say? (no sarcasm) I prefer quantity over quality when it comes to friends. I hate when people burden me with their emotional problems. I really love loud parties, where I can be bombarded with strange smells and obnoxious strangers. I never procrastinate; I finish all my work ahead of schedule. I can never do anything right. I give up trying to accomplish my goals. I really hate being in charge. It just bothers me when I have to tell people what to do. I just can’t figure out the answer to this problem. I’m not smart enough. We must follow the rules that authority has set out for us! It’s the only way! I really don’t feel comfortable following a daily schedule. It's OK; I’ll let you make all the decisions and just fade into the background. I am not worried about your well-being at all. Get your feels away from me! I feel really uncomfortable when people express their emotions to me. We should sit around all night and share our emotional sad stories. You go first! I hate taking risks and would prefer to live a safe, excitement-free life. I really love taking advantage of people who are in a worse situation than me. I hate being center of attention, it makes me uncomfortable. 5/9 Which of these high school types sounds most like you? The one who is bookish and keeps to themselves.
