**1. How do you work? Why do people go to work? Are there any parameters that determine whether you can do work or not? What are they?**

- Intermittently. Sometimes I'm really on. Sometimes really off. But I always have the energy to give anywhere between 1hr-2hrs a day at least. The rest is tough for me at times, because I guess, I lack willpower to do it or something? I get exhausted.

- People go to work because they have to. The world runs on sustained value creation, and we're all part of it, contributing to it together. Without a farmer getting something of equal value from somewhere else, there wouldn't be food distributed around. We're all just creating value for each other. Work is the way humanity contributes to each other's lives.

- The only real parameters IMO are physical/mental/emotional energy, how capable you are at something (which is also subject to improve) and desire. All else is vague conversation.

**2. How do you determine the quality of work? How do you determine the quality of a purchase? Do you pay any attention to it?**

- The quality of work must satisfy the basic criteria of being fit for the job. Since clearly, we need a defined purpose before we do something we call "work."

- The quality of a purchase to me is about it fitting what I need the purchase for, its long term use to me, its sustainability in how well it proves itself over time again and again, and whether it stands the test of time in being durable and excellent in its function. Copy paste that to everything.

**3. There is a professional next to you. How do you know they are a professional? How do you evaluate their skill?**

- Elements like passion, dedication, willingness to constantly educate.

- Skill comes down to many, many factors. Track records are important. But what I truly look at is an innate drive towards excellence. Does the other person have "the edge." The burning desire to excel, and become truly exceptional at something. Without that, you can have someone who works well but they'll never be a rockstar.

**4. If you struggle to do something, how do you fix that? Do you know if your performance is better or worse than others?**

- I break the problem down into its components.

- Am I capable? if so, is it an emotional problem? If not, is it something I need education for? If not, do I need to just give it time? There's no such thing as an unsolvable problem, only lack of competence and time.

- I can only tell if my performance is better or worse than others when I compare it. The second marker is public evaluation, however this is subject to the times we live in. Van Gogh died unrecognized.

- For my own personal satisfaction, I go for three markers: 1) Was I deliberate in doing my best and kept improving on my best? 2) Was I honing in ONLY on the main goal, without letting any other motivations side track me? 3) Did I study everything that came before and improve on it - or created something entirely new?

If these criteria are met, I know I've done an excellent job.

**5. How do you measure the success of a job? What standard do you use? Do you pay attention to it? When should you deviate from this standard?**

- You get what you want. Plain and simple.

- I've described the standards above.

**Meta-analysis:**

Seems fairly straight forward to me.

##Section 2

**1. What is a whole? Can you identify its parts? Are the parts equivalent to the whole?**

A whole is anything with a specific attribute that separates it from the rest.

You can identify its parts if it is divisible.

The parts are not equivalent to the whole, but there is often the fractal nature of things leaving their trace.

Technically, an ocean is a huge water body, but when all of those drops of water come together they create magnificent movements geographically.

A drop is a drop, but it can still teach you much about the nature of the ocean.

There's the fractal nature of life, you can spot the patterns everywhere.

**2. What does "logical" mean? What is your understanding? Do you think that it correlates with the common view? How do you know you are being logical?**

- To me logical is about standing on solid ground with what you've found as the truth for yourself.

- And then going a step further and arguing with your own perspective to find different ways you could be wrong.

- And then still keeping an open mind to possibly being wrong, having the meta-awareness to see that life is formed up of infinite varied factors, which if you don't factor into your calculations, you're already wrong by default.

- For this reason, I believe you can't find the truth. There is no such thing. At any given point of time, the access to information is the factor that keeps us from having a full picture of reality. Our job is to get the best information we have access to, make our best conclusions, and the possibility to being utterly and horribly wrong anyway.

I'm not sure if this correlates with the common view. Most people are dumb and terrible at thinking.

I'm being logical if I've taken in the MOST amount of information possible, created conclusions, proved them to myself as many times as possible, and still believe they're falsifiable.

**3. What is hierarchy? Give examples of hierarchies. Do you need to follow it? Why or why not? Explain how hierarchy is used in a system you are familiar with.**

A hierarchy is a system of power.

Military. Politics. Even Hollywood.

You don't necessarily have to follow it. A hierarchy is a system of values, therefore it's upto you to adhere to it or not.

Following it has advantages. You get to learn, and advance up it, and avail new advantages based on the value system of the said hierarchy.

I personally think hierarchies are for the unconscious. But I understand them, respect them, and follow them where they align with my goals.

Heck, being logical itself is hierarchical in nature. The best conclusion wins. All the other conclusions merely serve as a means to the end, for you to falsify against the strongest.

Evolution doesn't leave even the mind of man from participating in the survival of the fittest. We're merely living in the illusion that our minds are safe from hierarchy. It's everywhere.

**4. What is classification? How does classification work? Why is it needed and where is it applied? Give examples.**

Classification is the act of drawing boundaries around certain abstract or even physical entities so we can define them properly.

Classification helps you determine what you're dealing with, it's scope of definition and purpose, and where and how to use it.

A pen is a writing instrument. A paint brush is not.

But depending on where you use either, you can switch their purposes.

**5. Are your ideas consistent? How do you know they are consistent? How do you spot inconsistency in others' ideas?**

I don't deeply bother with other people's ideas being consistent.

Merely mine. And I try to make them as rock solid as possible.

I spot inconsistency in other's ideas via this indescribable hunch. It's simply that the conclusions they're coming to may have weak premises being disguised as solid ones.

Each person's understanding of the world is different, but some people let their logic be colored by that understanding to a fault.

**Meta-analysis:**

Seems straight forward. I did have to think through some parts. Especially the classification bit - mainly because I don't really know the definition of classification itself so well. So I had to google that. But otherwise, seems like questions that I could answer with some thinking involved.

---

##Section 3

**1. Can you press people? What methods do you use? How does it happen?**

I usually don't press people. Unless I have to or I get angry.

The methods I use can come off fairly crude or obnoxious. But if I do so, it's usually dependent on the more important question of "do I need to?"

**2. How do you get what you want? What do you do if you have to work to get what you want?**

- Analysis, plans, I get to work eventually. And I push myself, ridiculously hard to go towards what I want. I don't always get it, which is something I'm improving at. But my plans are impeccable.

- I think that's a straightforward question. If you have to work to get what you want, you work to get what you want.

- Unless again, I have issues in that department. For example, you can be hard working but believe you aren't worth the things you want.

- My biggest weakness in this area is around the ability to get things done - something I've been resolving for a while now and should succeed at because I've figured out mental and emotional models to replace my default ones.

**3. How do you deal with opposition? What methods do you use to defend your interests?**

- I usually like to logically reason.

- If the opposition resorts to force, then I the path is clear and it's time to take up arms. I'm not scared of people. Only scared of what I can do if I get angry.

- So, usually I try to logically and emotionally appeal to the other person's desires, interests and values. The value based manipulation of someone's psyche is something I've learned recently, thanks to realizing most people aren't good thinkers and you can't use that everywhere. It depends. I use the tool that gets the job done.

**4. When do you think it's ok to occupy someone's space? Do you recognize it?**

- I like to give other's space and have adequate space for myself.

- But again, I'm a tit for tat person, if I meet someone who's trying to occupy mine, I'll seek to crush them entirely and completely.

- This has led to confrontations before. But I don't back out once I've decided someone is being unreasonable and also giving others a hard time.

- But by my usual nature, I'm a very "I'm going to get what I want, just don't get in my way" kind of guy.

**5. Do others think you are a strong-willed person? Do you think you have a strong will?**

I think others do. I realize horribly the limits of my own will. And therefore, I'm constantly working to expand it.

Everything can be trained.

**Meta-analysis:**

I experienced feelings of anger/confrontation inside at some point. This isn't an area I feel deep ease in. It's something I'm getting better at, but in the meantime, I realize there's clearly emotional turbulence when I specifically come across people are trying to be bullies. I'm very much the kind of person who tries to bully or get inside the heads of people who bully others.

---

##Section 4

**1. How do you satisfy your physical senses? What examples can you give? What physical experiences are you drawn to?**

- Through hot showers. I love drinking. Alcohol makes me feel unhibited and loose, and I really enjoy that. I love sex.

- I'm deeply drawn to beautiful women. To beaches, mountains, to feeling the wind on my face when I ride a bike.

- I love the feeling of touching others. I find comfort in listening to different parts of a song, hidden instruments that aren't so obvious.

**2. How do you find harmony with your environment? How do you build a harmonious environment? What happens if this harmony is disturbed?**

- "Everything right where I need it" is the definition of harmony for me. If this is about physical things, my room, etc.

- When it comes to social situations, I define harmony as having a good time with others.

- Building a harmonious environment is about contributing good feelings, even stories to others that people can relate to. Giving others a good time while being true to myself is my way of creating harmony. If it's disturbed, I usually excuse myself from the company if I know for a fact that I do not like the other person, in case I do like them, I try to resolve the situation with them trying to understand their point of view, their feelings, and finding a common negotiation ground where both of us can be happy.

**3. What does comfort mean to you? How do you create it?**

- Sleep. Relaxing. Watching TV. Being away from people every once in a while.

- Comfort to me is about introspection. Journalling. Even lying down in bed doing nothing. Watching movies that make me understand more about this world. Or just watching movies that make me feel something deep.

**4. How do you express yourself in your hobbies? How do you engage yourself with those things?**

- I'm not sure how to answer this. I enjoy my hobbies. I try to be competitive and good at all that I do.

**5. Tell us how you'd design any room, house or an office. Do you do it yourself, or trust someone else to do it? Why?**

I prefer to do this myself. Lots of small lights. Good smells. Minimalistic room, with a big mirror, a very comfortable bed. Soothing lights, warm, higher temperature lights. Lots of books.

**Meta-analysis:**

Seemed like I'm answering what my preferences are. Easy enough.

---

##Section 5

**1. Is it acceptable to express emotions in public? Give examples of inappropriate expression of emotions.**

- I usually don't do this unless it creates a positive environment.

- I don't take up space talking about negative things from my life.

- To me inappropriate is when someone is childishly taking up too much space, killing the vibe of the group without realizing they're doing it.

- Another inappropriate use of emotions for me, is when a person does it solely to gratify their desire to be in the center. Such people, I usually fuck with.

**2. How do you express your emotions? Can you tell how your expressions affect others in a positive or negative way?**

- As honestly as possible. I'm not sure how my emotions affect others. I merely know that I try my best to say what's true to me. I do read other people's faces to determine what they feel and adjust what I should tell them accordingly, since I don't like to talk about myself with those who would rather not listen.

**3. Are you able to change your demeanor in order to interact with your environment in a more or less suitable way? How do you determine what is suitable?**

- I would say so.

- Suitable, in my opinion, is whatever adds to the enjoyment of the environment around me.

**4. In what situations do you feel others' feelings? Can you give examples of when you wanted to improve the mood of others?**

- When others are sad, it hits me rather easily. Or extremely joyful.

- When I want to improve the moods of others, I try to tell them what they wish to hear. Or sometimes I go into my own life stories. Sometimes, I'll just listen.

**5. How do others' emotions affect you? How does your internal emotional state correlate or contrast with what you express?**

- I'm usually deeply unaffected by what others feel. It's either that or I'm still unaware of it? It's possible.

- Usually, I express what I feel clearly. Though, I usually cut out the emotions I feel internally while I express them outwardly, because it's likely I'm ashamed internally of being found out as someone who is weak, or can't handle his own emotional stuff.

**Meta-analysis:**

Insightful. I learned things about myself.

---

##Section 6

**1. How can you tell how much emotional space there is between yourself and others? How can you affect this space?**

This depends deeply on what someone shares with me. It also depends on how clearly they're speaking their mind, and how controlled their expressions or their energy are.

- I think I can usually affect this by putting others at ease by being non-judgmental. However, I try not to since usually the people I like open right up, and those I don't, are the ones I have to "try" with and I'd rather not.

**2. How do you determine how much you like or dislike someone else? How does this affect your relationships?**

- How much I like someone is deeply affected by how much I feel safe about being myself around them. Speaking about things that I'm uncomfortable talking about.

- I also think it's very important to me for the other person to see me as emotional, but capable. I usually need encouragement more than I do solutions.

- I think this affects my relationships by making me usually emotionally muted. My emotions aren't up for discussion. And also, I think there's immaturity behind how I take the blows when directed towards my emotional "body." At least, that's what I think is true for now about this area.

**3. How do you move from a distant relationship to a close one? What are the distinguishing characteristics of a close relationship?**

- In close relationships, a sense of "togetherness" develops. It's rather easy for me to create, except, I don't like to do it artificially. Even though if I put my mind to it, I'd do it fairly well.

- The distinguishing characteristic of a close relationship for me are respect during vulnerability, belief in each other, understanding, and empathy while giving each other suggestions.

**4. How do you know that you are a moral person? Where do you draw your morality from? Do you believe others should share your beliefs on what's moral? Why?**

- I don't know that I'm moral. I merely try my best to be. I think morality is very, very subjective.

- There are cannibalistic tribes in the world. And if killing a human is considered murder, then so shall all the slaughter that happens for us to eat animals, or even plants that feel pain.

- I draw my sense of morality from a sense of rightness/goodness or bad/evil about the world. It seems primordial to me, this sense of being moral or amoral, but it works for me.

- I don't think others have to share my beliefs on being moral, as long as it doesn't hurt who I am or what I want from this world.

- And even in that last sentence, it shows how my morality is as subjective as any other person's. Morality in my opinion comes down to "what hurts me" vs "what doesn't hurt me."

- And many of us expand our consciousness to other objects, humans, even nations, therefore feel hurt by their pain.

- But I wouldn't necessarily call a person amoral for not choosing to do anything about the state of the world.

- Overall, morality is confusing for me. I don't completely understand it. It baffles me, I know it exists, yet I think it doesn't and it's all an imaginary construct.

**5. Someone you care about is acting distant to you. How do you know when this attitude is a reflection of your relationship?**

- I can only know if I ask. All else are my thoughts and beliefs about it.

- I prefer to ask. And I try to dig into the answers.

- I also watch for behavior, tone of voice, how the other person is speaking about other people in their life, many other such factors.

**Meta-analysis:**

Again, made me think and dig into aspects of myself I usually don't like to visit.

---

##Section 7

**1. How can you tell someone has the potential to be a successful person? What qualities make a successful person and why?**

- Their ability to gather information and act on it.

**2. Where would you start when looking for a new hobby? How do you find new opportunities and how do you choose which would be best?**

- I like to DO things. Something that gets my body moving. Something that gets me out of my mind is awesome. Bonus points if it's fun.

**3. How do you interpret the following statement: "Ideas don't need to be feasible in order to be worthwhile." Do you agree or disagree, and why?**

- This really depends.

- If your idea is to fly an airplane without wings, I'm not sure why entertain it at all.

- Yet, without us thinking about an airplane without wings, we might limit our conception of what's possible to only what we know.

- In this regard, I like to keep my mind as wide open as possible.

- I read astrology skeptically, and I learn science like it's magic. There's so much to this world that's undiscovered. It's our duty to keep our mind open, even in the face of wild inner skepticism.

**4. Describe your thought process when relating the following ideas: swimming, chicken, sciences. Do you think that others would draw the same or different connections?**

- A chicken swimming in science. How interesting, a nerdy chicken that's a harvard professor and perhaps likes to go for a swim in the afternoons, sips a couple of margeritas while learning about quantum physics.

- I don't know. I know I drew this one, lol.

**5. How would you summarize the qualities that are essential to who you are? What kind of potential in you has yet to be actualized and why?**

- I'm tremendous at understanding systems, at implementing systems and being a very thorough thinker who goes to the bottom of the barrel.

- My potential around being willful, action-oriented, and also my ability to let go of reason entirely, so I can dive into the world of emotions headfirst are qualities I'm working to develop.

**Meta-analysis:**

I liked this section. It felt like fun.

---

##Section 8

**1. How do people change? Can you describe how various events change people? Can others see those changes?**

- People change through direct work, emotional insight, philosophical insight, or through epiphanies.

- Eventually whatever changes a person is very personal, and what we know from the external circumstances are merely the precursors.

- There are way too many factors involved that change a person. Not to even describe the fleeting thought that might solidify into an intention. One day a person might be an artist, tomorrow, they may be a businessman, and it all starts with different intentions solidifying.

- Eventually, change happens in the world of intentions. In the invisible realm of the thin line between the unconscious and the conscious minds, where thoughts exist in a state of limbo until something, and I'm not sure what this something is, jolts them awake, causes that intention to become a dominant intention in someone's mind, and makes them want to act on it.

- Until this jolting happens, a 1000 events can happen that should've or could've caused a direct change but didn't.

- Eventually it's the solidifying of an unconscioius intention coupled with desire and capability that bring change into a person's life.

**2. How do you feel and experience time? Can time be wasted? How?**

Time is a flow of sense perceptions solidfying, disintegrating, assembling, becoming, falling apart. Time is for our mortal purposes linear, but it's right now, and it's forever.

From our mortal perspective, yes, time can be wasted. But time is never wasted. Because time is what gives birth to the self-identity that we call ourselves, and so all time does is merely convert our sentient consciousness into different identities, sections of which may awaken or go out at different times which we call life and death. Today I am this person, writing what I'm writing here.

Tomorrow, I'll be another person, forged with different memories to convince me I'm someone else. Time borrows its identity from the space it's currently in touch with, locally, but globally, time is eternity itself and free of all identity and sense perceptions.

**3. Is there anything that cannot be described with words? What is it? If so, how can we understand what it is if language does not work?**

There is. It's experience.

Experience is its own language. Words are meant to carry experiences, therefore, they're symbols. They're not the experience themselves. Words are packets of information that try to take another person's consciousness to the exact coordinates of your experience. But in doing so they're always doomed to fail and at best you can draw an intersection in two venn diagrams, but an overlap is extremely unlikely because each person's "idea" of what those words mean (experience) is going to be guided by their local identity (who I am right now in time) based on their past perceptions, and so, what they'll think about when you say something is entirely different from what you think about. It's beyond comparable.

We can understand it where language doesn't work by abandoning language.

I can tell you have a cup of coffee. Or I can give you a cup of coffee.

While the coffee I taste is going to still be dramatically different from the coffee you will taste, there will be massive overlaps because now we're looking at the source material (experience) to derive our symbols from.

Therefore, when two people drink coffee, they can both agree its nutty, or has a berry flavor, or other shit.

**4. How do you anticipate events unfolding? How can you observe such unfoldments in your environment?**

I'm usually good at predicting far ahead in time fairly easily. But I don't try to anymore.

The unfoldment of events is merely about connected intents, or predictable essences of different events.

With humans, the essence is their intentions, with nature, the essence can be the different constants like gravity, vibrations. There's an essence to everything in the universe, if you open up your mind and study things closely, you'll see they all follow a pattern. History repeats itself in reassembled different forms.

The universe in the most macro level - cosmic assemblies of stars, and at the micro level - the human mind, is cyclical in the way it operates. So are humans, and the collective events that are formed up of humans coalescing together into combined intentions that form patterns.

I can tell where something is going to go by looking at where it's been, and where its mind (intent and direction) is. The only difference between me and others is I'm looking at 100s of factors to come to that decision, since intentions collide and eat each other up in the mind, leaving the most dominant ones alive. But you can still spot them.

This where my earlier answer about "what solidifies an intent" comes in. I'm always questioning, but I'm uncannily sure too. It's weird to describe.

**5. In what situations is timing important? How do you know the time is right to act? How do you feel about waiting for the right moment?**

Timing is always important.

But experience has taught me so is the will to act.

By biding your time, you can act at the right moment.

And by force of will, you can cause time to show up before it is its turn.

They're inseparable. After all, time is just entropy measured. And the will to act can modify entropy.

Section 1:

1. How do you work? Why do people go to work? Are there any parameters that determine whether you can do work or not? What are they?

I think working is asserting action into a task which has the benefit of financial gain whether it be now or in the future. People go to work to earn a living to be able to survive and provide for those they love primarily, but there are other reasons like passion, fulfilment, wealth, freedom. The parameters that determine if you can work or not depend on the job. Some jobs require skillsets, degrees, competence, labor, and time, but some people may not work if they have physical limitations.

2. How do you determine the quality of work? How do you determine the quality of a purchase? Do you pay any attention to it?

The quality of work is determined by how well it met or exceeded the expectation for it set up by the company. It also is determined by its usefullness and benefit to the person it is being sold to. I determine the quality of a purchase by it’s benefit. However, i do not pay much attention to it.

3. There is a professional next to you. How do you know they are a professional? How do you evaluate their skill?

Mainly by their credentials, but also by their mannerisms, the way they present themselves, and the results of their work.

4. If you struggle to do something, how do you fix that? Do you know if your performance is better or worse than others?

I typically try to improve by searching up the correct method and decide which advice to use based on how helpful it seems to be to the majority of people. I know if my performance is worse or better by comparing my performance to the expectation and standard and check if it fits.

5. How do you measure the success of a job? What standard do you use? Do you pay attention to it? When should you deviate from this standard?

I measure the success of a job by how long it has lasted in society, how respectable it is, how much it improved the lives of others, and the amount of impact it has had on society. I mainly use the standard of it’s effect on society. I don’t pay much attention to it unless i am in a reflective mood, but for now I dont think this standard should be deviated from.

Section 2:

1. What is a whole? Can you identify its parts? Are the parts equivalent to the whole?

I think a whole is when there is an object or concept which is not missing any pieces or parts. The identity of its parts would depend on what the whole is. The parts are not equivalent themselves to the whole, as they can contain things that differ from one another. for example, say you have a pie with different flavors in each slice. the apple slice is not equivalent to the peach slice, since the apple slice does not contain peaches. the whole pie contains peaches since it contains the peach slice, therefore the apple slice is not equivalent to the whole pie.

2. What does "logical" mean? What is your understanding? Do you think that it correlates with the common view? How do you know you are being logical?

Logical is the ability to process information in a way that is detatched from emotion, and it is the ability to have detatched, unbiased understandings of concepts. I think it would correlate with the common view. I know if i am being logical if i can think about something and use practicality to guide my thoughts and look for any contradictions in my thoughts to correct and make sure it makes sense not just to me but is understandable to others as well and is unaffected by emotional opinions. (mine or others).

3. What is hierarchy? Give examples of hierarchies. Do you need to follow it? Why or why not? Explain how hierarchy is used in a system you are familiar with.

A hiearchy is a system with ranks and classes that range from superior to inferior. An example of a hiearchy is a social hierarchy with different classes. You have royalty at top and different working classes lowering down the hierarchy. Whether or whether not you need to follow a hierarchy would depend on the result you want as people have free will, certain actions just come with certain consequences. If the hierarchy has laws and expectations that apply to certain groups and you happen to be in one of those groups, you would have to follow the law if you don’t want to go to jail or be shunned but society. Something like the hierarchy of needs by Maslow is a less intense version of a hierachy, as it ranks emotional needs rather than people, and following that again would depend on what the person wants as a result.

4. What is classification? How does classification work? Why is it needed and where is it applied? Give examples.

Classification is identifying a certain thing and labeling it into a group in order to recognize it more easily, predict its traits and patterns, determine it’s effect on other things, and be able to differentiate it from orher things. It is needed in order to study certain groups and understand them better, and i can see it applied in biological studies, like different species.

5. Are your ideas consistent? How do you know they are consistent? How do you spot inconsistency in others' ideas?

I try to make my ideas consistent by constantly debating with my self and my ideas in my head to check if there are parts that can be debated or dont make sense and i search my thoughts and the opposing thoughts to check what people who are smarter than me say and usually there is some error in my thoughts so i try to correct it when i find it. I find inconsistency in others ideas if some parts contradict

Above all else I ask if you can uphold up your own ideals?

I try to do so with the things i can control, yes

Section 3:

1. Can you press people? What methods do you use? How does it happen?

I absolutely despise conflict and confrontation so i do not like to press people unless i am already close to them and comfortable around them which in that case i try to use a serious tone and try to appeal to the logical side using my reasoning explaining every part in detail but also already set principles, and statements said by knowledgeable people. if i were to have to press a person i am not close to i would be as passive, non threatening, and polite as i possibly can be to avoid a conflict.

2. How do you get what you want? What do you do if you have to work to get what you want?

I mostly want to feel loved and accepted, so i do so by analyzing the type of people i am around and apply the persona that i think would give me the role i was seeking in the person’s perspective. (to control whether they saw me as friend, mentor, family, student, etc) and how they saw me (whether they saw me as the dumb funny person, smart person, kind quiet and shy person, etc)

3. How do you deal with opposition? What methods do you use to defend your interests?

Whenever i am in a situation where i feel hostility from someone, i take on a passive persona, i make sure that my mannerisms, my tone, my body language, and the way i speak all represent a passive and polite person. I try my best to avoid any and all conflict with the person and avoid talking to them.

4. When do you think it's ok to occupy someone's space? Do you recognize it?

I think it is never okay to occupy someone’s physical space, i do not want to make people uncomfortable.

5. Do others think you are a strong-willed person? Do you think you have a strong will?

I do not think others think i am a strong willed person, and i too dont think i am.

Section 4:

1. How do you satisfy your physical senses? What examples can you give? What physical experiences are you drawn to?

I mostly satisfy my physical senses by dancing and singing when i am alone. I do this while imagining dancing and singing with others. I also like to eat yummy food and walk around while talking to myself about concepts and imagining im talking to people about those concepts like society and self improvement. I really love sitting in long drives in the night time and looking out the window into the sky as it gives a euphoric feeling and is the perfect environment for an idea creating generator for me.

2. What does comfort mean to you? How do you create it?

Comfort to me means living in inner peace. Feeling protected from any harm mental or physical (for me this is in my religion), feeling loved, not having any guilt or fear on your conscious, stability.

3. How do you express yourself in your hobbies? How do you engage yourself with those things?

I dont express myself in my hobbies much since i do not have many hobbies, but if i do it is through creating something, like making things out of clay or learning a song on an instrument and singing it while playing it

4. Tell us how you'd design any room, house or an office. Do you do it yourself, or trust someone else to do it? Why?

tbh my room is not very decorative at all haha, i am not a decorative person. I like to keep things more practical in any room. as long as i can find what i need in there quickly and its comfortable, its good to me. I would honestly prefer not for anyone to decorate it for me or for me to decorate since i dont see much importance in it.

Section 5:

1. Is it acceptable to express emotions in public? Give examples of inappropriate expression of emotions.

I think it is typically acceptable to express emotions to a certain extent when the situation calls for it. For example happiness is nearly always acceptable unless at a setting where something like sadness is more appropriate, or perhaps in a professional setting it is better to keep emotions out of the picture and stay neutral and a bit friendly. Anger is usually not socially appropriate.

2. How do you express your emotions? Can you tell how your expressions affect others in a positive or negative way?

I express my emotions by communicating them or journalling them. My emotions usually show up through my body language but i try to keep it to a low extent. I prefer to search up how others have dealt with the situation, or how people smarter than me think of it.

3. Are you able to change your demeanor in order to interact with your environment in a more or less suitable way? How do you determine what is suitable?

ABSOLUTELY 100%. I determine what is suitable by analyzing others’ behaviors, their body language, how they talk, their expressions, what they say, and just the situation in general.

4. In what situations do you feel others' feelings? Can you give examples of when you wanted to improve the mood of others?

I feel others’ feelings if i have been in the same or a similar situation that they’ve been in. I have wanted to improve the mood of others if i can see they have felt a way i have felt or if they are an innocent person being harmed mentally or physically, for example if i see someone being bullied or someone venting to me or someone who looks lonely.

5. How do others' emotions affect you? How does your internal emotional state correlate or contrast with what you express?

Others’ emotions affect me depending on how close i am to them, but usually it is quite a lot. I do not like the atmosphere of an angry environment as it stresses me out. My internal emotional state usually correlates with what i express as honesty is one of my biggest values

Section 6

1. How can you tell how much emotional space there is between yourself and others? How can you affect this space?

I can tell usually by how much they attempt to spend time with me or talk to me. Also by how much they are willing to share with me about their thoughts and pains and emotional issues or life matters. I usually try to affect this by giving them space if it seems they prefer that or offering advice/support if they need it. If i want to be closer to someone i will probably try to talk to them to learn their character, internal thought processes and motivations, and feelings. Also by being vulnerable to them.

2. How do you determine how much you like or dislike someone else? How does this affect your relationships?

How much i like or dislike somebody depends mostly on how much their actions and behaviors match with my moral values and also based on how they treat me. This affects my relationships because I will not make relations with people i dislike.

3. How do you move from a distant relationship to a close one? What are the distinguishing characteristics of a close relationship?

I think the key to this is having emotionally vulnerable and personal conversations. Some distinguishing features are knowing eachother very well, being able to be emotionally vulnerable with eachother, and having positive intentions for eachother and for the well being of eachother. Knowing none of you would ever intentionally hurt eachother.

4. How do you know that you are a moral person? Where do you draw your morality from? Do you believe others should share your beliefs on what's moral? Why?

I know by reflecting on if my actions have been for the greater good of another’s wellbeing even if it is at the expense of my convenience or my feelings. I mostly draw my morality from the effects of how my actions will affect others now and in the long term, from religion, and also from how i will feel about myself if i do or dont do a certain thing. if in my conscious i know that what i did was out of pure intentions and i feel glad that i did what i did. I believe there should be an objective morality since we would know definitively what is right and wrong and then it would be much easier to have justice and would leave people less likely to feel hurt by other’s actions but i do not want to force my opinions on other people.

5. Someone you care about is acting distant to you. How do you know when this attitude is a reflection of your relationship?

I would know if i have said or done something that may have potentially affected them. I would know if they were only acting this way towards me and not others as well, and so by seeing how they are in other situations and if anything has happened to them recently.

Section 7

1. How can you tell someone has the potential to be a successful person? What qualities make a successful person and why?

I think i could tell if they not only had the intense drive for it, but also the consistent everyday action towards their goals even if it is difficult and painful. I would also know if they had specific plans for their goals and was willing to assert themselves into oppurtunities for their goals. Qualities that make a successful person are ambition, determination, consistency, an openness to criticism, and commitment. The reasons for these traits is because typically big goals will come with a lot of challenges, pain, difficulties, and disappointments, but a successful person will not give up on their goals, and will constantly improve and challenge themselves to be better.

2. Where would you start when looking for a new hobby? How do you find new opportunities and how do you choose which would be best?

I would try to see what hobbies would benefit my character. I usually search for oppurtunities and choose what is best based on how costly it is, how much effort and time it takes to do, how much happiness i get from actually doing the hobby

3. How do you interpret the following statement: "Ideas don't need to be feasible in order to be worthwhile." Do you agree or disagree, and why?

I agree, because there are ideas that can make people connect and feel purpose and happiness from just by discussing or brainstorming. I actually do this as well. I am completely aware that some of my thoughrs arent realistic and im not going to actually apply them any time but it is still wonderfully energizing and makes me happy to play around with different ideas and thoughts and put concepts together. For example i have made many story plots in my head and even imagined how the characters would be and how the story would go but i would never actually make the book and post it. I simply reflect on it because it brings me enjoyment and helps me learn more about dynamics between humans.

4. Describe your thought process when relating the following ideas: swimming, chicken, sciences. Do you think that others would draw the same or different connections?

When i think of swimming i think of the motion made by the arms of swimming. we and other animals use a circular, wing like motion to propel ourselves through the water, similar to how a bird uses their wings in a back and forth motion in the air or a chicken having wings although they rarely fly and swim. I imagine this is a part of biology as all our features have a purpose and a function to help us do things to aid our survival and wellbeing based on our habitats and ways of life differred by species!! I think some people would think the same.

5. How would you summarize the qualities that are essential to who you are? What kind of potential in you has yet to be actualized and why?

I would say the qualities essential to who i am is mostly my strong imagination and love for ideas, but also my honesty, my kindness, my logic, and selflessness (i try to be), i think potential in me yet to be actualized is being smarter and more ambitious. I tend to back away from hard work and dont care much for having huge accomplishments, but it would be nice if i was more driven.

Section 8

1. How do people change? Can you describe how various events change people? Can others see those changes?

For large impactful changes, people change if they genuinely want to, and are willing to take action to change. I think they need to have a REASON that is stronger than just logic, but that truly benefits their life and their mind and heart. Different events can change people if they have a deep emotional impact, if the state of their life is so harmful it is impacting their life, even little things like the people they choose to hang around or the type of media they consume can change them. Others can usually see changes that are behavioral or physical, but some emotional changes may be harder to see by people who arent as close to them or depending on how well they hide it.

2. How do you feel and experience time? Can time be wasted? How?

I feel and experience time by the clock and by how light/dark it is out. that is for day by day, but things like seasonal changes, the date on a calendar, changes in social groups, personalities of people, insights, even music can also signify an amount of time has passed. I feel time goes to slow. most of my day is either daydreaming or waiting for an event to occur like eating or school or seeing a family member come home. I think time can be wasted by not taking action on certain goals an individual has, and not taking action to improve themself or act on what they know would make them feel purposeful, fulfilled, and happy in the long term.

3. Is there anything that cannot be described with words? What is it? If so, how can we understand what it is if language does not work?

Hmm, there might be and i think there should be, but if there truly was something, we wouldnt be able to describe it or write it out right? but to my knowledge, every single thing we as humans have known and discovered has been put into words.

4. How do you anticipate events unfolding? How can you observe such unfoldment's in your environment?

I anticipate events unfolding by connecting patterns of people’s behavior with what i have learned before and observed. I cannot really anticipate huge events since i dont pay much attention to them, but i usually anticipate what people will do or how they will react to something by collecting the information of their values, group dynamics, their behavior patterns, human nature, and things they could have previously told me.

5. In what situations is timing important? How do you know the time is right to act? How do you feel about waiting for the right moment?

Timing is important when there is a set deadline to something, when someone is physically, financially, and mentally prepared, when there is opportunity, when a person has truly thought through what they want, and when a person knows all of the risks, limitations, benefits, difficulties, and challenges that come with what they are thinking of doing and are sure they are ready for any of the complications and responsibilities that could come with it. I think the right time to act is if you are in need of something that will benefit your life or mental wellbeing in the long term and you have the means for it and all it’s responsibilities physically, mentally, and financially. I think waiting for the right moment depends on what someone considers the “right moment” to be, but if it is by my definition, i think that it is important to be sure you are completely aware of what you are about to do before doing it, so yes i think the right time before acting is important.

I’m not sure what my type is in Socionics. I engage both my I(Ne) and T(Ni) pretty often. I feel like both my R(Fi) and E(Fe) are relatively strong. My L(Ti), P(Te), and F(Se) seem to be relatively weak.

Here are some of my traits:

Usually warm and friendly. Can be somewhat anxious and inhibited at times around strangers. Expressive and relaxed around loved ones. Often contemplative and ruminative. Typically sensitive and sympathetic. Philosophical and inquisitive. Highly imaginative and somewhat artistic. Self-critical and self-conscious. A bit eccentric (according to others). Very introspective. Tolerant yet principled. Kind of disciplined yet procrastinates often. Insecure yet overconfident at times. Doubtful yet idealistic. Loyal but sometimes doesn’t trust others. Somewhat reserved yet highly energetic. Cautious yet impulsive. Accommodating but has boundaries. Can be very tense at times. Internalizes/represses negative emotions. Forgiving but quietly judgmental. Mostly lenient with others but hard on myself.

Sorry for the grammar! I have always identified as IEI, my answers are truly based on my own understanding of the world, but I wonder if my answers seem blatantly Beta NF. Like it def feels like that when I am rereading this questionnaire. I really did answer truthfully or at least tried my best without thinking of my type.

Section 1:

1. How do you work? Why do people go to work? Are there any parameters that determine whether you can do work or not? What are they?

Money a lot of the time. Some people need to do it because they liked to be occupied, and some people do it because they thoroughly enjoy the work. I like doing stuff I enjoy like most everyone; I also like somewhat structure or deadlines to work towards. I am quite the procrastinator so motivation comes from the fact that I can worry a lot about overworking myself in the future. (Even though I tend to put some stuff off and overwork anyways lol) Again I like guidelines and a clear goal to work towards while also having my own flexibility in the process towards that goal.

1. How do you determine the quality of work? How do you determine the quality of a purchase? Do you pay any attention to it?

Usually, other people determine that for me. Sometimes I pay too much attention and go on deep dives through ratings, if I need something fast or think something is pretty, I don’t really care about quality too much. So, I’d say I care about quality mainly for more shady purchases. If the purchase does what is expected I say its qualified.

1. There is a professional next to you. How do you know they are a professional? How do you evaluate their skill?

How much they talk and understand what subject they are talking about. Usually some credentials (i.e PhD) and if I am slightly intimidated or scared, they are judging me.

1. If you struggle to do something, how do you fix that? Do you know if your performance is better or worse than others?

I reread the instructions, if it is not too late, I ask someone more knowledgeable. If I feel like I missed the deadline to ask someone I try to figure it out myself which sometimes is a bad idea. People focus on different things so sometimes someone might outperform me in one category where I tend to outperform them in others. My performance is determined by the evaluator usually, and I can undersell/oversell myself sometimes if they don’t evaluate me.

1. How do you measure the success of a job? What standard do you use? Do you pay attention to it? When should you deviate from this standard?

Did it follow the instructions? Did I use the right tools? Did I get the correct information? Deviation from the standard is based on if I think the work needs to have less an impersonal feeling, instead should be subjective and based on one’s own understanding.

Section 2:

1. What is a whole? Can you identify its parts? Are the parts equivalent to the whole?

I think of a circle as a whole and the slices inside the parts. Each part makes up the whole and as such the whole is made up of the parts. One can’t work without the other, a part needs a place in the whole and whole needs its parts to be whole. I don’t know if that counts as equivalent but yes ig?

1. What does "logical" mean? What is your understanding? Do you think that it correlates with the common view? How do you know you are being logical?

Usually a rational, some people focus on empirical data to rationalize the world where others compare different ideas or systems. Like philosophy might not focus on empirical data as let’s say a hard science but it might still be considered logical, and a lot of scientific explanations comes from theories, so they probably work together. I know I am being logical when I am not being a hypocrite so consistency.

1. What is hierarchy? Give examples of hierarchies. Do you need to follow it? Why or why not? Explain how hierarchy is used in a system you are familiar with.

A hierarchy is a system of classifications that put individuals in a top-down structure. I use the American Democracy System in my example where government officials are technically on the top, managing policies, while American voters are more towards the bottom. Technically these two groups are supposed to monitor one another, but policy makers hold too many recourses above the average American. I'd also consider other companies who lobby to be higher up in the system because they too hold economic affluence over the American government. If anything, these companies have more of an influence over the American government then the people. Anyways, to me, you do not need to agree to a hierarchy rather just recognize you are still in it. Unless you actively change the system than I think it’s no use pretending you are above it. I see my generation scoff at the American democratic system and pretend they are above it, but that’s not going to change the fact you still are in the system. You are either choosing to participate or not participate in it, you aren’t changing the system if you aren’t actively doing anything about it to shift it. I also think people have very impractical assumptions about what to do to change the systems of a hierarchy, it usually takes a long time and people overthrowing just tend to just make a new version of a hierarchy. I don’t like to bring down people either and say you can’t fight for injustice in a hierarchy, rather wonder how they will do it?

1. What is classification? How does classification work? Why is it needed and where is it applied? Give examples.

Classification is given because the world around us likes to classify humans, it would be stupid to say that classification isn’t real and it’s just a construct, but it is real because it’s a construct. Race is a classification, we are humans, but people like to divide and classify us by ethnicity, skin color, nationalism etc. None of that really seems to exist outside human culture, but because culture emphasizes it, it therefor exists. I don’t know if it is needed, but it can be argued that culture and groups which create classifications are needed for survival and protecting/conserving recourses. I don’t know maybe we can move beyond classification one day… it’s just hard when there will always be people who are recourse hungry.

1. Are your ideas consistent? How do you know they are consistent? How do you spot inconsistency in others' ideas?

Again, being hypocritical. Sometimes people just misinterpret data or flat out lie. You also have to know what you are talking about. This is something I am super critical in myself but making sure I understand a concept and all its definitions are important to me when coming up with anything. I can be very critical of this in others especially if people are using a term they don't understand. I generally appreciate a lot of feedback in understanding terms.

Above all else I ask if you can uphold up your own ideals?

Section 3:

1. Can you press people? What methods do you use? How does it happen?

I don’t think I press people enough. I tend to avoid pressing people because sometimes it doesn’t go anywhere. If it does go somewhere I can be kind of hostile or very calm in my approach (again, based on context). I’d say I call them out as being a hypocrite or I’d just say I don’t think that’s appropriate and if they fix it, I just move on. If they don’t I either leave them be or wait until they address, it. I can press if I think that is the only way to address an issue.  

1. How do you get what you want? What do you do if you have to work to get what you want?

I ask nicely or I ask for an exchange of goods for something. I tend to show up and do the things that are asked of me or that I see others doing to get what I want. I try to do what is asked of me and then make requests based on the fact that I've shown I am competent.

1. How do you deal with opposition? What methods do you use to defend your interests?

Usually get other people I know I can depend upon to defend me. I also am quite sweet and sincere on the surface level, so people tend to trust me, I don’t know how true this is though. I sometimes wish people didn’t just trust me, it’s a big pressure to live up to lol.

1. When do you think it's ok to occupy someone's space? Do you recognize it?

Again, if the situation calls for it! For me its during hostile or argumentative situations. I usually must let people come to the conclusions themselves, so I back off once I do enough for someone to self-reflect on their own.

1. Do others think you are a strong-willed person? Do you think you have a strong will?

Sometimes I think people see me as weak and docile. I sometimes don't stand up for myself and can be really sensitive to disharmony, however, I think I secretly am a bit of a willful person! I just do it by my own means which means I can be quite stubborn. Only my close family or friends think I am stronger than I look, I have a lot of opinions after all and they are the only people I tend to share them with.

Section 4:

1. How do you satisfy your physical senses? What examples can you give? What physical experiences are you drawn to?

Eating and sleeping healthy. Sometimes a warm sensation when I am with friends. I can’t really say, but cozy exchanges with friends is something I enjoy. I think mental rumination can sometimes overlap in my need for physical experiences, I go on Pinterest excessively but never create anything physically from it.

1. How do you find harmony with your environment? How do you build a harmonious environment? What happens if this harmony is disturbed?

Lack of hostility, I don’t mind competition unless it goes too far and if you actually hurt someone. If there is no resolution beyond repair, it has gone too far. If harmony is disturbed, I try to calm it down. I can't say how successful I am, but sometimes I can mediate.

1. What does comfort mean to you? How do you create it?

A state of tranquility, no excessive worry, in a hedonistic approach the absence of pain. Sometimes I watch shows or read interesting articles to take my mind off of something that might be disturbing me. Sleep can do that for me too (if I don't have weird disturbing dreams).

4. How do you express yourself in your hobbies? How do you engage yourself with those things?

I like to do my hobbies privately or with an intimate person or by myself. Play ukulele and learn a song I enjoy. I just engage when I feel bored and need to get out of my head.         

1. Tell us how you'd design any room, house or an office. Do you do it yourself, or trust someone else to do it? Why?

I like my room to make me feel very cute and homey, I don’t mind clutter if it is my clutter. I think my room is my individual space and sometimes I don't like people intruding. I know some people who see their room as their safe space, but for me I don't know. I spend time in my room a lot but mostly doing stuff on my computer, so I don't pay too much attention to the space around me. Sometimes lighting makes me sensitive so I tend to change my room lighting a lot, like closing my window blinds, turning the overhead lights off, turning on warm lighting etc.

Section 5:

1. Is it acceptable to express emotions in public? Give examples of inappropriate expression of emotions.

I mean I guess if you are disturbing other people excessively but other than that I think people should mind their own business if they see someone being mopey or overly excited. That is their state if they aren’t pushing that on you well then what’s the point of getting mad about it. I guess an example I could think of is when someone is getting overly stressed out and then bosses other people around because they feel like they need to be in control to counter the stress that seems inappropriate. Maybe also the tone of the situation sometimes people can be too light or too dark, but I understand that these nuances are hard to grasp unless fairly obvious.

1. How do you express your emotions? Can you tell how your expressions affect others in a positive or negative way?

I sound forever bubbly. I get overstimulated and look tired so that might be a negative to some. I've been asked if I was okay concerningly quite a few times because I blank out. Usually, I politely leave before I can become full on distant and in my head. I can also cry randomly and then go back to being happy and bubbly. Yes, I am really good at telling how my emotions affect others, maybe I am not always aware of it, but I can defiantly tell based on someone's reaction. I don’t know emotions are weird.

1. Are you able to change your demeanor in order to interact with your environment in a more or less suitable way? How do you determine what is suitable?

Yes, I hold in tears all the time and try to keep a positive environment, I only go crazy with people I am comfortable with. Sometimes I don’t like being vulnerable or feel as though someone will use my emotions against me, so I don’t think it’s comfortable to express my emotions at least intensely. It can be subtle, like my emotional opinion on something.

1. In what situations do you feel others' feelings? Can you give examples of when you wanted to improve the mood of others?

I feel and worry for other feelings all the time, the only time I don’t is when they are projecting on other people. I just match other people's states so idk I guess I just continue to shift on what other people want. I can’t really give a specific example, when people don’t want to talk about something sad, I won’t bring it up, I usually tend to bring up personal things that will bring them joy instead.

1. How do others' emotions affect you? How does your internal emotional state correlate or contrast with what you express?

I just get overwhelmed if I can tell someone will overwhelm others. I tend to ruminate on the fact that my actions could lead to a certain emotional state. Sometimes I tend to just want to forget what is on my mind and focus on others and what to do together. If something is brought up that I can relate to a situation or emotional state, I was or still am thinking about I will defiantly bring it up and share it. Only with close friends I open big time, but usually feel bad for talking over about the same thing.

Section 6

1. How can you tell how much emotional space there is between yourself and others? How can you affect this space?

If we reach out ig. I can tell if someone is confused about the distance but is hard to really clarify this without you know being unnatural.

1. How do you determine how much you like or dislike someone else? How does this affect your relationships?

If they won’t admit to doing something wrong or everything is constantly a negative cycle than I just don’t bother. For me to consider a person as a close friend, I need to see if they care about something beyond themselves, but even that seems so subjective and less restrictive. I just have to feel they somewhat care or paying attention. I can't really say how much I like or dislike someone, to me there are people who I think I like more for certain situations. It is really depended on my mood, but I have my closer circle and then my acquaintances but even that is hard to classify because sometimes my acquaintances are fairly entertaining. Maybe how much I like someone is how much are values align ig. I don’t think I hate anyone intensely rather I hate their motivations. I don’t know if that makes sense. My close friendships are pretty supportive, so I think I am doing well for myself. It is hard for me to enter a romantic relationship truthfully because I am constantly entertaining thoughts about breaking up which is where I come off more indecisive in the romantic aspects, usually this is because I don't want to end up hurting myself or the other person which is strange because being indecisive makes me confuse people but I think I can hurt someone even more down the line so IDK the romantic aspect is complicated.

1. How do you move from a distant relationship to a close one? What are the distinguishing characteristics of a close relationship?

I usually feel comfortable reaching out. Feeling like I am not annoying someone or talking about how I see the world. Also, humor must match. A close one is being comfortable about how I see the world and people being okay I am a little bit delusional or more so a daydreamer.

1. How do you know that you are a moral person? Where do you draw your morality from? Do you believe others should share your beliefs on what's moral? Why?

If my actions are consistent with my values. I forgive myself and others for mistakes, but of course you still need to hold yourself accountable for that to work. Sometimes inconsistencies are okay if accountability is taken. I can forgive if someone just straight up says sorry, maybe too easily. Morals can be different across the line, but as long as they have morals, I am usually okay. There are only certain "social" human right things that I can't negotiate with.

1. Someone you care about is acting distant to you. How do you know when this attitude is a reflection of your relationship?

How long they are doing it for. If they don’t go back in like a week or so I get worried.

Section 7

1. How can you tell someone has the potential to be a successful person? What qualities make a successful person and why?

Ambition at least a sense of determination towards something, that they feel somewhat like they need to be okay with being dependable.

2.       Where would you start when looking for a new hobby? How do you find new opportunities and how do you choose which would be best?

I start with what I am good at or how I learn. For example, I like to cook because I like to follow instructions, and I can learn by the format of what instructions are given to me. I choose what option works out and aligns roughly with my goals.

1. How do you interpret the following statement: "Ideas don't need to be feasible in order to be worthwhile." Do you agree or disagree, and why?

I agree I think in order to have innovation there needs to be something that is novel and usually that comes from an idea that isn't necessarily feasible, however you can’t preach them if they aren’t practical, you can only appreciate them as ideas and that’s not a bad thing. I also think ideas can become practical so there is always hope.

1. Describe your thought process when relating the following ideas: swimming, chicken, sciences. Do you think that others would draw the same or different connections?

Fried chicken!!!! Chicken is swimming in the oil and the oil is frying it due to science. Someone else can have different personal experiences with those words which leads to different conclusions. My experience isn’t that personal, so it isn’t that creative lol

1. How would you summarize the qualities that are essential to who you are? What kind of potential in you has yet to be actualized and why?

I asked people this, but I am self-reflective rather for my own good or not. I like to reflect on the world and what is around me, I like to reflect on people and what kind of actions they do that can be selfless. To me those actions hold potential at least to a determined goal. I focus my efforts on delivering change, maybe focusing my efforts on my more diplomatic nature and my love for categorizing other people's thoughts and ideas. I need to push myself more, but it’s hard because I just don’t feel at place a lot of time with the world, like I don't truly understand it which kind of makes me worried about doing anything. I just got to get over that and see that I can do something, and I do usually understand what is asked of me.

Section 8

1. How do people change? Can you describe how various events change people? Can others see those changes?

People have a certain type of philosophy they use in the world, and you can’t really put that into words, it’s just kind of there and you just start to wonder when they follow their philosophies and when they don't. AI guess in those philosophies there is a set kind of pattern they follow, also followed by their personality. It’s a strange mix between temperance, world view, and beliefs. How those beliefs are formed are dependent on environment and their cognitive by what kind of things they took away from the world. You have to look at how they interact with the world to really see what they see, but even that is hard to fully grasp. They change for what they believe is important and usually that sense of importance is always engrained in them it's just certain contexts brings it out. Maybe they don't change their beliefs but sometimes can change their attitude or behavior on life. Some people don’t see those underlining beliefs which like that’s fine because it's too abstract and nonsensical but like I don’t know how it can be explained it if they don’t really see it for themselves. Use examples ig and explain said examples on how they relate to one another. I think how certain people build up the world or what they focus on in the world doesn't change, but I do think sometimes people mature and let go of superficial things as they grow specifically focusing on what is important to them, maybe it's also an age thing as you grow older you tend to hold onto the things that matter because soon it won't be there. IDK I think I just went on a silly little rant and got off the question.

1. How do you feel and experience time? Can time be wasted? How?

Yes, again if something leads nowhere than why do it? Time is purpose to me. What are you putting your purpose in when you are living life?  I don’t know, if the things you are doing have purpose to you than I guess you aren’t wasting your life.

1. Is there anything that cannot be described with words? What is it? If so, how can we understand what it is if language does not work?

Yes and no? I don't think I can ever grasp the complexity of my own thoughts or other thoughts, but I can somewhat explain them. Language in itself is not just words, but also tone, embellishments, non verbal cues. I think if people focus on the meaning behind language not just words themselves, you can learn a lot about peoples opinions and how they feel about certain situations. I also feel as though a certain situation can make me feel as though their will be a set outcome it’s hard to explain knowing the outcome but it’s easy to understand where those feelings are coming from.

Sometimes people explain by categorizing a set of patterns and then creating a series of theories based on said patterns, maybe using empirical testing to determine if the theory holds up in the real world.

4.       How do you anticipate events unfolding? How can you observe such unfoldment's in your environment?

It’s hard to understand, but I usually just feel unease or unsure. Sometimes it’s a repeat of small gestures that can lead to bigger problems. I also tend to go with it, but I guess it's just a compilation of other things I remember and how that can apply to the future, so a lot of things are just projected on to the situation at hand and I can't really tell how many of those things will actually unfold in the future.

1. In what situations is timing important? How do you know the time is right to act? How do you feel about waiting for the right moment?

When pressure makes you crumble, and your only answer is to act. Right timing might also just mean doing what is right. I did however start to worry about this one looming threat (it's more of a personal problem I don't want to share), so I made sure to share my story and ask to be precautious before the other person could do something that could jeopardize me. Sometimes I know people will exchange and spread information to other people, so I choose my words wisely, like the other person is hearing me speak too.

I also wait a lot and sometimes I miss opportunities which sucks but if I am moving forward towards something else, I don’t really care.

Fairly new to socionics, so i did a 40q questionnaire.

Feel free to ask follow up questions if any!
I am thinking Te/Fi and Ni/Se

Section Te :

1. How do you work? Why do people go to work? Are there any parameters that determine whether you can do work or not? What are they?

I either work or I do not. I have proclivity towards work which is stimulating and interesting. It happens in bursts of energy - Periods of 11 hours a day every week followed by a month of cricket, not much (unless I have a deadline, this is how I approach it if there was no deadline/athaurity etcetera). ADHD makes it a pain in the Ass.When I do work there is not a lot of structure to it and I do not think much. I just have general plan and general vision of what it should look like.Most people work to survive, though to me it seems like a meaningless existence. Just working like a zombie and waiting to get it over with it sounds like a nightmare that one lives everyday - I am inspired by people who love what they do.

2. How do you determine the quality of work? How do you determine the quality of a purchase? Do you pay any attention to it?

Set expectation, if you have to submit it, you have to know what is expected from you. If it is a personal project you have to know what you expect from yourself. with that expectation you set an outline and fulfil the basic, this is just basic though ..base level.I assume that everyone is doing basic -  it is the extra that stands out. if I am confident in the extra value I am adding I do not hesitate to bend the basic rules.To determine the quality of a purchase -If online I look into reviews, preferably the one with pictures and then I order. But if I am physically in a shop.. I have my eyes and hands and I ask if there is a warranty card etcetera.

3. There is a professional next to you. How do you know they are a professional? How do you evaluate their skill?

Watch them do the skill + Portfolio of work plus I evaluate how they talk about it (they do not even have to be  jumpy/nerdy about it).Though..if someone has a good portfolio yet they have a bit of nonchalant don’t care attitude about what they are doing then I may not trust them because that shows lack of dedication. Professionals respect what they do. You do not have to light up like a lightbulb over your work either….but there has to be an energy to it.

4. If you struggle to do something, how do you fix that? Do you know if your performance is better or worse than others?

find overwhelm or an emotional imbalance…try to heal it. performance is better or worse than others? . Ok so since there is keyword “other” here …we look at others and grade ourselves relative to others with our metrics of what is good and bad of course. I judge it based on the extras..because usually people have base bare minimum figured out.

5. How do you measure the success of a job? What standard do you use? Do you pay attention to it? When should you deviate from this standard?

If it meets the goal I wanted, the job is success, if it does not then it is technically a failure. 

Though with time I have developed a cope for it…. *It is not a failure but it is not a success either.if that supposed “failure” helps you do better for the next job. .then it was the part of another job all along.*Still a failure though.

—--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Section Ti :

1. What is a whole? Can you identify its parts? Are the parts equivalent to the whole?

Wholeness of an object is the consideration of all its elements as a single unit. Inside the whole there may be many parts that work individually… but something as a whole is unified manifestation of individual working and interaction between its parts.As for the partsI can have two groups of orchestras. Each group can have same number of instruments yet they may not give the same “whole”Here I am assuming my parts are tangible physical objects (musicians, instruments)But while writing this I am thinking….what if I consider the intangible (timing, cooperation, harmony) as a part too?in that case parts can be equivalent to the whole - provide you KNOW all the parts, which you probably do not.

2. What does “logical” mean? What is your understanding? Do you think that it correlates with the common view? How do you know you are being logical?

If it makes sense and if it is consistent…and if I agree with its base assumption. Because every logic has a base assumption/postulate. It should be backed by proof OR reliable facts. Logic is not a one way street. The arrow has to go both ways. You cannot build some bullshit logic which does not match with reality - if It does not then the onus of proof lies on you and every part will be scrutinized by feedback.I think I derive logic from facts and proofs and from things I see around myself and it usually a very general logic like..”power corrupts people because——” and now this nugget is in repository… like a block..I may use it somewhere else.

3)What is hierarchy? Give examples of hierarchies. Do you need to follow it? Why or why not? Explain how hierarchy is used in a system you are familiar with.

Hierarchy is natural importance/respect/power of one element above the other.So if your manager has enough power to fire you.. he is above you in power hierarchy.Biggest example of hierarchy - Asian society - it is self explanatory, does not even have to be explained.

“Do not talk back to elders” is a form of hierarchy

“Women should be subservient” is a form of hierarchy“

This skin color is more superior” is a form of hierarchy

Hierarchies that breed major injustice are evil and should be abolished. I respect normal hierarchies but that does not mean that they are infallible. As long as they are fallible and can be questioned then it is fine.

4. What is classification? How does classification work? Why is it needed and where is it applied? Give examples.

Classification works by grouping elements that share an attribute in one group/category and that is how it works.Classification is needed so that I can know about this element by just knowing the categorySo I know whale is classified mammal so I know that whale has no gills and gives birth.It is so natural that I am struggling to verbalize why it is important…it is everywhere..it is like trying to describe color.

5. Are your ideas consistent? How do you know they are consistent? How do you spot inconsistency in others’ ideas?

Though I try to be consistent, I am aware that I am full of contradictions. I twist my ideas to adjust them to my own agenda like everyone else.

How I spot inconsistency is through -contradictions and  looking into the base postulate or sometimes even base “emotion” of that logic. For example base emotion of many conspiracy theories is fear and distrust ..If logic comes from a place of superiority/fear/neediness then…….I do not resepect it.

if it is concrete like say - events of a war, conspiracy theories, science..then it should be backed by evidence or  a lot of supporting information that strongly points towards your conclusion. When I have to go into “definition” of every terms and turn the argument into linguistic fest, I get aggravated because that is just splitting hair.

—-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Section Se :

1. Can you press people? What methods do you use? How does it happen?

Yes, by repeating my points, pestering them, or convincing them that it is the best course of action, negotiating etcetera. Too much aggression can hurt people's ego and that creates more road blocks and makes them MORE stubborn. It is easier to press a reasonable person than an egotistical person.Though often times people complain that I raise my voice or is too stubborn.

2. How do you get what you want? What do you do if you have to work to get what you want?

I look into ways and options to get it and then chose the best course.

3. How do you deal with opposition? What methods do you use to defend your interests?

I have one on one argument with each opposition(in case they gang up on me). In that I can be emotional/manipulative/harsh depending on what will work. 

4. When do you think it’s ok to occupy someone’s space? Do you recognize it

I don’t think it is wrong to occupy space but I understand that people may not like it, so I expect them to tell me and i will respect it and be mindful. People are responsible for their own boundaries.

5. Do others think you are a strong-willed person? Do you think you have a strong will?

Yes most people think I can do anything..which sometimes gives me imposter syndrome. I am a bit protective of my will because I see people around me losing their will to the society and I fear that “what if” I get infected too and unknowingly get manipulated.

—--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Section Si :

1. How do you satisfy your physical senses? What examples can you give? What physical experiences are you drawn to?

eh……? I mean…lot of time I feel what I need but I still don’t do it because it does not seem that important to me. Physical sensations are like background noise to me.I am drawn to camping .. sitting in a nice chair, feeling the wind and eating cup noodles.

2. How do you find harmony with your environment? How do you build a harmonious environment? What happens if this harmony is disturbed?

I do not understand the question? What is harmony?

3. What does comfort mean to you? How do you create it?

Comfort Is blanket and fire place…. And drinking soup while reading a book. Sometimes I create those environments for myself but when i do …i realise I was hyping it too much in my head and it is not that big of a deal. True comfort comes from peace of mind, having a good balance of everything and you create it by growing as a human being

4. How do you express yourself in your hobbies? How do you engage yourself with those things?

I express according to what I feel that day.

5. Tell us how you’d design any room, house or an office. Do you do it yourself, or trust someone else to do it? Why?

If I have an aesthetic In mind ..maybe a victorian bedroom so I will find all the pieces that give a cohesive victorian look...it is a fun process to look at all the pieces and think of a design.. Sound like a good creative project.

—--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. Section Fe :

1. Is it acceptable to express emotions in public? Give examples of inappropriate expression of emotions.

people should be able to express their emotions in public as long as it is not inappropriate or too dramatic.one can state their emotion in a more toned down and calm manner..Like you can look sad and shed 2-3 tears.. but outright crying like a madman is stupid.

2. How do you express your emotions? Can you tell how your expressions affect others in a positive or negative way?

I have no business laughing at a funeral or crying hysterically at someone birthday. Other than the extreme I do not care.

Can you tell how your expressions affect others in a positive or negative way?

I can usually tell how.. I just want to live..but I feel bad if others feel bad and they do not deserve it, if they deserve it, then it is fine.

3. . In what situations do you feel others’ feelings? Can you give examples of when you wanted to improve the mood of others?

If they describe it and I see it in their face then I can feel extreme empathy and I try to talk them out of it. If I want to improve someone mood I just try to make them laugh or take them out on a walk and drink tea together.

4. How do others’ emotions affect you? How does your internal emotional state correlate or contrast with what you express?

they do affect me more if those people hold some weight to me. What I feel is what I express. If I feel annoyance…it will show on my face….and I try to hide it. I have low control over my facial expressions..so if I feel something intensely even though I would not want to show it…it will show somehow and people will catch up on it fast.and subconsciously I THINK I want to show it…because I want people to know, especially if they have disappointed me because it is easier for me to hide sadness than hide other emotions.

—--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. Section Fi :

1. How can you tell how much emotional space there is between yourself and others? How can you affect this space?

huh…???? Well they telling me emotional things so they probably trust me and I just act on the moment..idk how do I effect it..i effect it by being a listening ear and nodding.

2. How do you determine how much you like or dislike someone else? How does this affect your relationships?

dislike many things in people so I can tell what I like in people - Honesty/drive to be better/funny/wise/strongI hate copey and spineless people.

3. How do you move from a distant relationship to a close one? What are the distinguishing characteristics of a close relationship?

you just get close with time and talk.. in a close relationship they listen to you and you listen to them and they stay long. Oh yeah both feel understood. Feeling understood is very key…and willingness to communicate

4. How do you know that you are a moral person? where do you draw your morality from? Do you believe others should share your beliefs on what’s moral? Why?

I score low in morals in big 5, yet I think I am very moral because most of my morals come from high sympathy for other people, respect for peoples volition/choices and basic society standard. I think I am very moral, Everyone should be moral on basic ..very basic things.. because those morals may help the society function in a just manner.so base morals of - be kind, be honest, be unbiased, be justice oriented should be followed.. these are base… everyone should have these basis or this world will become law less. I detest people who do not follow “obvious” morals ( especially if it harms someone else for no reason).

To me, the purpose of morality is to reduce suffering, run a society and harbour a safe environment.

5. Someone you care about is acting distant to you. How do you know when this attitude is a reflection of your relationship?At first

Usually I do not realise they are being distant..until they become too distant that anyone can see it, I was not sure if I was distant with my friend until other people hinted that..
then I felt neurotic that maybe I was insensitive AGAIN..but honestly..just ask them why, what happened. People can have tough phases.. and If i realise that the problem is ME yet they don't tell me that it is me..then I kill the relationship. fuck it.

People should be vocal rather than just being distant out of nowhere. what am I? A mind reader?

—--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7. Section Ne :

1. How can you tell someone has the potential to be a successful person? What qualities make a successful person and why?

they have drive and resources to do so. Maybe their parents are rich and they are driven.inner strength makes a successful person

2. Where would you start when looking for a new hobby? How do you find new opportunities and how do you choose which would be best?

if something looks beautiful and captivating to the point I think..damn I wanna do this.

3. How do you interpret the following statement: “Ideas don’t need to be feasible in order to be worthwhile.” Do you agree or disagree, and why?

feasibility should be one of the metrics to measure an Idea but lack of feasibility does not make it completely useless - just less likely to succeed. Maybe with adjustments or time it will be feasible some day.

4. Describe your thought process when relating the following ideas: swimming, chicken, sciences. Do you think that others would draw the same or different connections?

huh…. Ok....  What? Swimming.. chicken .. bird…a birth that swims …. Duck.....duck has webbed feet so it floats because SCIENCE. I think people would think the same because it is pretty straight forward.

5. How would you summarize the qualities that are essential to who you are? What kind of potential in you has yet to be actualized and why?

Humane, Just, honest, driven, sharp..  potential yet to be actualized?? - Freedom.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8. Section Ni :

1. How do people change? Can you describe how various events change people? Can others see those changes?

People usually do not change at base level, only their toppings change but pizza base remains the same.People change with time, experience and feedback… but only at surface level MOST of the time.those who change and undergo serious metamorphosis are rare.

2.  How do you feel and experience time? Can time be wasted? How?

Time passes slowly when you are kissing someone.. time passes slowly when you are doing a plank..yet it passes very fast when I see my small sibling grow to my height.we cannot control how time passes around us…the most we can do is to just do it justice and live it to the fullest.Time can be wasted definitely.. but it depends on what you consider valuable - productivity? Time with family? Eating good food?  But it can be a waste..to me…mindless puppet actions are a waste of life..not even time.. but life is more than time.

3. Is there anything that cannot be described with words? What is it? If so, how can we understand what it is if language does not work?

of course..a lot of time, different words from other languages can describe something your language could not describe and that itself is a proof…. When you don’t have words for it…you make it a poetry.. that is what art is.because when you have no singular word..you have to be creative with how you express it..art is war waged against ineffable beauty…

4. How do you anticipate events unfolding? How can you observe such unfoldments in your environment?

It needs a fundamental understanding of causality and that comes from observation and patterns, .you have to notice first and let the pattern develop.. ultimately you would know what will lead to what in what situation… and sometimes you just know

5. In what situations is timing important? How do you know the time is right to act? How do you feel about waiting for the right moment?

In every situation…a time to act is right when it will give the most optimum result.  though I am not good at it but I know that it is important.but…I do not like to wait to0o much…..I am the type to watch videos in 2x speed.  I think I “know” when the time is right..yet I struggle to implement it. I am either too lazy to strike when the iron is hot OR i strike before the iron is hot.. But while striking I DO know about the iron..yet i take the wrong action.

•In general, I am a very relaxed person and do not like to take the lead in group projects. I am happy to follow someone else’s orders. However, when I notice that my team members are too passive or that no one is going to make things work, I easily take the lead and organize and distribute tasks to complete the project.

•I am a very lazy person, but from time to time I get motivated to do something and I don’t give up until I achieve it. It’s hard for me to get into this state and it usually ends quickly.

•I start many projects and have difficulty genuinely getting interested in them to the end. Why? Because I really want to experience various things, I want to experience almost everything life has to offer. This makes me have a superficial interest/knowledge in many things but little depth.

•I am extremely curious. I want to know about everything that interests me, I want to know people’s reasons, their ways of thinking, I want to know how things work, etc. This makes me a person who asks many questions. “But why?” is something I ask a lot.

•I really like to acquire knowledge, especially scientific knowledge, in various areas. However, if the subject does not interest me, I am terrible at having the discipline to learn about it. Subjects that DO NOT interest me are: very practical things, such as house construction, laws, documentation, etc. Subjects that DO interest me are: philosophy, astronomy, psychology, typology, subcultures, history, religion, mythology, physics, etc.

•In my free time, I like to study these things that interest me, it is something that gives me purpose to live and makes my human life seem less mediocre and more purposeful. My life purpose is to learn as much as I can, travel the world, and experience many different things.

•I also like videogames, movies, animes and music in general, and I have a HUGE list of all of those to try one day, but at the end of the day, I'm listening to the same songs and playing the same games ngl 

•I am extremely quiet (sometimes) with people I don’t know. I don’t like small talk, I can do it, but it takes a lot of energy because it’s not natural for me and I need to force it. However, if the person I don't know is shy, or kinda strange and unusual I feel deeply relaxed to talking and become very communicative. 

•On the other hand, with familiar people, close friends, or just people I feel comfortable with, I am very talkative. I like to start debates out of nowhere or ask about people’s opinions out of pure curiosity and as a way to break the silence. I can do small talk more comfortably with closer people.

•I like and feel more comfortable with emotional people and those with more passive communication because it makes me feel freer to speak, and I like to talk.

•When I am in a group of people and I notice that I am very quiet (or if someone points it out), I feel very bad and see it as a flaw that needs to be corrected. In group conversation situations (like a large family gathering), I can be very quiet, but I am aware of this and beat myself up for talking too little.

•I have a lot of difficulty being myself, and this is probably one of the main negative points about my personality/experience. I simply think A LOT about how I should act in public, and this has been happening for many years. I always wonder if what I am about to say is ethical (and sometimes I ask friends this, for example: do you think doing such a thing would be unethical? But i ask those as a joke). I am working on improving this though.

•I really like to stay comfortable. I don’t like to sleep outside, drink, or use drugs, or wear uncomfortable clothes, I’m not very open to trying new foods. I am too lazy to cook good things (although I loooove good food) and I try to eat “rationally,” I never allow myself to eat too much junk or overeat.

•Despite the comfort described above, I HATE routines, and there were periods when doing the same thing every day was bringing me down a lot, but I think I am learning to like this predictability.

•I have difficulty truly opening up to people, but I am very expressive about “frivolous” emotions. I make a lot of jokes about my dissatisfaction with something and make many self-deprecating jokes, but truly opening up emotionally to someone is extremely difficult and I think I have only done it with one person.

•I am not good with schedules and I am often late, I am very lazy about doing daily things.

•I have difficulty knowing what I want. So many times, I just listen to my head and do what I “should do.” What I should do most of the time is not something productive or useful, but something that aligns with some goal of mine. For example, if I am going through a phase where I am trying to learn more about a certain band, and I have free time, I will think about what I should do and conclude that I should listen to that band’s music, even if I am not enjoying it or even if I do not genuinely feel like doing it. In summary: realizing what I feel like doing is difficult, so I just follow my own “reason” about what I should do at that moment.

•I feel much more comfortable writing than speaking (whether face to face or by voice call). I feel I have more time to think about the answer and there are fewer external influences.

•I've been very conscious of the idea of ​​dying since I was a child and my biggest fear is definitely getting old.

There is more I could write, but I think it would be too long. Please give me your opinions and ask me anything if you want. The main types I consider for myself are the irrationals (both extraverted and introverted) of the Alpha and Delta quadras, but idk. I got this result on the test tho: https://www.sociotype.com/tests/result/tst/110724

Section 1

1. How do you work? Why do people go to work? Are there any parameters that determine whether you can do work or not? What are they?

I don't work, I'm in uni. So in terms of studies, I study what needs to be studied, watch lectures on YouTube so that I can get a deeper intuition and try to be comprehensive so that I can get full marks and understand the material deeply in general. I'm studying what I like so sometimes I study ahead of what I'm being currently taught. I study mostly based on mood but I've kind of developed a habit of studying semi-consistently, I don't like it when I don't fully understand a concept for a long time, I they to fix the knots as soon as possible. Sometimes I don't study because I don't feel like it and delay it.

2. How do you determine the quality of work? How do you determine the quality of a purchase? Do you pay any attention to it? I mostly pay attention to the quality of my work. I want to make sure it satisfies its requirements and if possible, it has to feel "cool" to me, ie, my aesthetic standards, fits the fundamental characteristics of a similar high quality work I've seen, if possible, it's good if it has original and useful thought put into it so that it's something new. And hopefully not waste too much time in that process. Sometimes if it's being too impractical, I'd do just enough instead of making it fully satisfactory to me. When buying things, if it's high quality enough, I don't want to pay too much money for marginal improvements without much long term benefits, I'm ok with things that are low quality if it serves the purpose I need it for which is the case most of the time. Sometimes I buy/want to buy a good quality fountain pen for example, I like the aesthetic. It's good quality, you use a pen often and is long term. Why wouldn't I want to have a good quality experience for a long time with a one time purchase. To maintain it, I can buy ink and in some cases after a point, it breaks even and is cheaper than a regular pen. But these aren't things I crave, it just sounds cool, feels aesthetic and classy and doesn't feel that much like a waste of money if I buy that compared to other things. I don't think much if I'm using a regular ballpoint pen or whatever.

3. There is a professional next to you. How do you know they are a professional? How do you evaluate their skill?

They're probably good if they have good qualifications and they've done good quality work in the past. Also they shouldn't be acting too clueless about what they're doing, it's ok for some minor hiccups here and there but I keep an eye on them if they frequently act clueless, I check if that matches the work they do. If they've done good work for me, and seems to have a deeper understanding same notice things I didn't even think of or understands something more deeply, knows where things apply and how it connects with each other, etc , then I'd be more trusting

4. If you struggle to do something, how do you fix that? Do you know if your performance is better or worse than others?

I used to mostly trust my innate understanding of how things work. But nowadays, I've been looking more into internet and books to get a deeper understanding of the problem in general. It has often given me a better idea but in some cases I already know 90% what they're saying. It feels like my focus has shifted it being a closed system with me understanding things and fixing the problem to the energy being spilled a bit to the fun of researching itself from outside sources, the energy which used to be more focused interacting with the outside world and fixing that inner cognitive dissonance. I'm aware of that thought, sometimes it just started and runs in the background but it's not like I get nothing done. It's a bit unhealthy if I'm not being mindful of where my energy is going and being self aware. I I think it's especially pronounced because I've been feeling a bit depressive. Usually, this inner voice fixes things eventually and I become mostly decent at things. At least from what I can see with the results of other people. For example, I know I'm not being as social because it doesn't feel right inside and I see other people laughing and being so free and close in class same being able to express what they want, their inner feelings and states, be fine, etc and I want to do that too. I know that I can. As a deeper question of knowing whether something is right or wrong. I also have an inner standard of how things should be, it must have been something that had developed in my early life which gives me an idea of how things work and what things are. Even when I am in my supposed thoughts, there's this feeling of fakeness. There's that constant, unchanging, wise side of my mind deep in there. No matter how much of a state of mind I put myself in or act like something else. Even if I myself think like I'm truly that for a bit. I can take a glimpse at it if I stop the distractions and allow myself in a type of silence or if it's serious circumstance, it will come back as I go down to that level and meet myself. And I realise that no, I didn't permanently change and detach myself what's deep in there even if I had been flying in the clouds and was worrying about if I've changed, even if I've acted stupid, and I was in a completely different "macro mental state" for years and thought that everything has changed and I may have forgotten a lot, this mental state is surface level, it was a shallow but murky water, so it just appeared deep. I don't have to worry, I haven't forgotten anything, it has always been there underneath no matter what sort of silly acts or games I subconsciously play. I want to fully be in touch with that. It often feels like I'm in an act nowadays, I am not in touch with my inner wisdom and fully feeling myself as much as I could be. Even the socionics stuff makes me feel like I might act like something else, reading these. It may subconsciously influence my self perception and how I see people. But better understanding of it is that it's a description of how so I'm being mindful of that and trying to understand socionics, whatever people say about it. Because I feel like there's some deeper understanding which I don't know yet, that particular mindset of viewing things of the people who made socionics. And this inner side is somewhat like an onion, I think of where each layer came from and why it's there, what the alternate would be, in what situation the alternate would work, etc. Sometimes these things are because of religion but even if I try to remove the religious aspect and the subsequent bias, I can still see a reflection of a fundamental truth, after all, these are influenced by interactions with the world by other people that came before me, whatever environment that was.

5. How do you measure the success of a job? What standard do you use? Do you pay attention to it? When should you deviate from this standard?

Whether I'm having some good influence, whether the thing I'm making is good according to the requirements and if it's an actual job, if I'm making enough money. How much money? I don't know but I don't want to make less money, enough to have a stable life and not worry about, be able to spend more if I want to. I also care if I'm passionate and intellectually curious about a job, at least if it's stimulating. It's not too difficult for me to be curious and passionate about something. I wouldn't mind making ok money if it is having a lot of good influence.

Meta-analysis:

I think in 4 I answered a little more than what the question asked and was writing too many words and making it a bit too complicated, whenever I'm in that writing spree mode, my mind somewhat goes blank and detached. It didn't feel like I was thinking as deeply and sincerely as I could've. I feel like in the latter part is a bit nebulous or it comes of as something else than I intended or obvious. I don't want to write down something inaccurate or lie. I'm spending quite some time to write this and someone is taking their time to read this. I don't want it to come out inaccurate, I'm being mindful but it doesn't feel fully right, I don't want to spend too much time, editing, maybe there are some subtle things I remove when I rewrite it on a second thought. I don't want to act like someone else or type according to some image in my mind rather than it sincerely coming from my self. I feel like it's a bit difficult to do that in general because nowadays my brain feels a bit foggy and I feel somewhat depressive so I'm deviating from my healthy self. It's probably not that serious of a mistake though, just felt like mentioning it since this is a kind of a psychological thing.

Section 2

1. What is a whole? Can you identify its parts? Are the parts equivalent to the whole?

A whole is an interrelated system that does a specific function enough to be abstracted according to the specific human needs. A part is defined as an abstraction within a whole according. Some abstractions can have an independent function, some can not. Some parts can be versatile and can be reused in other things, some can only have a specific use. So depending on what types of abstractions are within a whole, it can or cannot be the sum of its parts. But in general it's not a sum of its parts.

2. What does "logical" mean? What is your understanding? Do you think that it correlates with the common view? How do you know you are being logical?

I don't know either, I feel like I don't understand it fully when I read descriptions of TIMs. Logical for me is someone who has the ability or cares for something to be reasonable and doesn't tip too far into non reasonable category for the sake of pleasing someone or some other subjective reason. Some people can think well about the repercussions or at least how things generally go. Some people can think well but doesn't because they don't want to, it takes too much energy, they don't enough knowledge, they're scared, they haven't had enough life eperiences. They could also trust something that's more manipulatable by other more subjective things like how charismatic someone is, how authoritative someone looks, what the crowd thinks or the feelings you get when you think a certain way, sometimes contradicting the conclusion based on a more objective understanding of reality learned from different sources in life, thinking through consequences and what's more likely to happen. I think this is the generally accepted view. I know I'm being illogical when it doesn't feel right and then I ask why and I see that doing this is not reasonable according to my own understanding of the world. I think that it causes harm in the future.

3. What is hierarchy? Give examples of hierarchies. Do you need to follow it? Why or why not? Explain how hierarchy is used in a system you are familiar with.

You have hierarchies in companies, universities. Hierarchies are useful constructs to make decisions effectively and organise power and resources. It's an approximation, not every good idea gets executed but it's good enough. It's impractical and gets too chaotic otherwise in most large systems. It's possible for order to emerge from chaos but it's not as useful for most practical purposes. It's useful to follow it as long as it hasn't degraded to something unhealthy. For example, In a household parents have a more authoritative power and usually means well. So it's good enough.

4. What is classification? How does classification work? Why is it needed and where is it applied? Give examples.

Just like how hierarchy is useful for organizing power. Classifications are useful for organizing informations according to patterns. It becomes easier to understand the pattern, hence, the data once a person understands the classification. But sometimes, holding on to a classification too much can hinder the natural understanding of a data by your own mind if you had never seen the classification. It's useful to simplify influx of data and thus make it easier to work with. I think effectively simplifying data is at its essence intelligence itself. It's also intelligence to have a general background understanding so that you know to not rely on your previous classifications. A classification is dependent on the information that came before it and assumes similar characteristics for information that will come after. In biology we categorize creatures into boxes so that it's easier to study them and once you know that a particular animal is in a particular box, you can gain a lot of information if you already know the properties of the box. It wouldn't always be correct, but depending on the subject of interest and the complexity, it's more or less accurate.

5. Are your ideas consistent? How do you know they are consistent? How do you spot inconsistency in others' ideas?

I used to encounter arguments contrary to my deep beliefs so I learned a lot about it, watched a lot of YouTube videos about arguments for and against that stance and once I felt like I've researched enough and I had the answer to every counterargument I could come up with or whatever I've seen, I slowly eased into the other stance or at least closer to it. After I research about an argument and see all the arguments for and against it, I see if what they're saying really makes sense according to my understanding about the subject or if it's really another misconception.

Meta-analysis:

Easier than previous questions. I wrote somewhat redundantly here and there though.

Section 3

1. Can you press people? What methods do you use? How does it happen?

I could be better at it and I can improve given enough exposure to it. I can tell people to do something but I don't usually shout at people. In group projects in university of someone isn't properly doing their work, I tell them many times, try to make them understand it properly on what they need to do. If it's too much, I'd probably tell the professor or whoever is in charge. I admit, in some cases I didn't do that and I have just gave them some light work and done the rest on my own at least that will make things less complicated and at least I know what will happen and it won't get more complicated than this if I just took it upon myself, and whenever I've done that it hasn't been that much of work anyway.

2. How do you get what you want? What do you do if you have to work to get what you want?

If it's serious, I usually work hard to get what I want. Sometimes I internally don't recognise what I want, or ignore it. But I don't really do some things that I want, I want to be more social and charming, I want to do what I actually think is correct instead of pretending to be stupid, I do things another way even though I know how to correctly do it if I properly think. It's like I'm not in tune with my proper understanding and I'm being someone else. I don't think others can tell that my internal thoughts are different from what they see me as. I think this disparity is because of not feeling comfortable in that social environment so I detach my genuine self from it.

3. How do you deal with opposition? What methods do you use to defend your interests?

I've never really had that strong of an opposition. When someone disagrees, I try to explain why that's not right and also try to give a little bit of leeway or a compromise to any good parts of their idea that I see. And suggest that. Hopefully they understand what I'm saying. When I'm having an argument, I can be bold and properly give appropriate replies but it doesn't feel like I'm being myself and in this state of mind, my mind goes a bit blank, I don't properly talk by using my full mind (this also happens when I'm generally talking to people in class), sometimes I can properly reply and I think that's how I really am when I be my self but it's not as common as I want it to be. Sometimes I try to be angry but since feel inside I'm not really feeling it, it's half assed, which in an attempt at trying to look genuine looks like an overreaction. I wasn't genuinely angry anyone and now I look stupid. Whenever my little brother is being lazy and not properly keeping things in their place instead of leaving it around, I tell him to do it, and he says yes but he wouldn't listen. He sometimes ask me to do his things if I care so much about it. It's difficult if someone just doesn't listen. I feel like maybe if I worked on being more authoritative or charming enough to let him properly understand, it would be easier and what I want would be respected.

4. When do you think it's ok to occupy someone's space? Do you recognize it?

If there violating mine or being unreasonable. Sometimes I'm too willing to let someone have their space and keeps distance from them physically.

5. Do others think you are a strong-willed person? Do you think you have a strong will?

I think I come across as shy to others. But I'm terms of doing something I really want to, I can be really focused and get things done at a rapid pace. The harder something is, the more I get attracted to it.

Meta-analysis:

I haven't had that much experience to fully think through. I think I can be assertive if I work on it properly. I want to be assertive whenever I feel the need. I could be quite assertive when I used to be more socially comfortable when I was younger. But I haven't been so in so long so it's a bit weak right now.

Section 4

1. How do you satisfy your physical senses? What examples can you give? What physical experiences are you drawn to?

I like aesthetic art, music. Mostly relaxing ones. I used to be very interested in art and I have won some prizes for it in school. I used to watch a lot of art videos on YouTube. I still am interested to a lesser extent, I have started doing some urban sketching nowadays. Different periods of my life has had different "vibes" according to the music I listened to and the hobbies I did during those times. I don't listen to as much music and can go without listening to it much but I feel like listening to it as a "I haven't listened to music much in some time. Let me check. Oh, this music is cool" way but not "Oh I crave some music, life's so boring without it." way. I also like hours long atmospheric, vaporwave music. 2418's music for example. I like relaxing music, some pop music. I don't really watch movies, I stopped watching them for religious reasons I guess but I haven't really continued it even though circumstances have changed. Partly, I don't want to be too influenced by external media, there's this vibe about them that they are trying to do that sometimes. I also felt kinda disappointed by most movies and it felt like a waste of time. There are good movies, it's also due to habit, I guess. I haven't truly felt emotionally moved by media in a long time, it could also be depressive feeling I think. Not necessarily a personality I think. In terms of dressing, I think I can dress quite well, I get a lot of information on it through Pinterest and youtube.

2. How do you find harmony with your environment? How do you build a harmonious environment? What happens if this harmony is disturbed?

Not sure what this means. I try to keep my things organized but it's not perfect, but at least it's not a hassle, things are usually cleaned on time, I have enough space to work with on my table, the books are properly arranged, some things are consciously kept in a messy way because of convenience and ease of reach, if I placed it somewhere else it would look nicer but I have to open different doors.

3. What does comfort mean to you? How do you create it?

Being cozy on my bed. Being in a comfortable social environment with people I'm comfortable with. Feeling comfortable to joke around, laugh, be able to properly use my mind and say things in a flow without thinking too much on why I'm not behaving the way I want to, because I feel so comfortable it comes out naturally. I don't really create the social aspect of it that much. I'd like to, though.

4. How do you express yourself in your hobbies? How do you engage yourself with those things?

Not sure if I do that. But I've been thinking of making a conlang where the semantics and script are completely personal and specific to me and write diary in it. No one can read it either anyway because I made the language. It feels cool. And conlanging is an art.

5. Tell us how you'd design any room, house or an office. Do you do it yourself, or trust someone else to do it? Why?

I don't mind letting someone else do it if it's good enough. If I can do better then I'd do it but it's usually the former, most of the time it's arranged by someone else and I don't care that much.

Meta-analysis:

I didn't fully understand some questions or I didn't really know how to answer, I don't know if I've answered the things that the question is asking.

Section 5

1. Is it acceptable to express emotions in public? Give examples of inappropriate expression of emotions.

I think it looks a bit stupid to overdo it, like, not being serious enough when it's a serious matter. Being too loud is also another one. But having moderation and also being expressive makes you charming

2. How do you express your emotions? Can you tell how your expressions affect others in a positive or negative way?

Sometimes I overthink my own emotional expressions, I oftentimes don't do it enough and in a competent and charming way even though I want to. I sometimes act stupid trying to be more expressive and somewhat force myself, it's like I stop using my brain and not really be myself. I can be more expressive and be just like everyone else when I'm comfortable. I can tell jokes make some people laugh. I can't remember a time when I made someone seriously sad.

3. Are you able to change your demeanor in order to interact with your environment in a more or less suitable way? How do you determine what is suitable?

I can mostly do it, sometimes it's difficult to sustain it for weeks if I feel less comfortable. I sometimes end up feeling a bit frozen inside especially when I'm not fully feeling that comfortable. But I can work on it and continue being like that, it's difficult. This can make me withdraw from everyone else and seem very silent or awkward, it's like I've lost myself in my expressiveness in being frozen again and I do things that I don't really think is right in terms of what would be perceived well, I say stupid things that I already know is stupid before saying it.

4. In what situations do you feel others' feelings? Can you give examples of when you wanted to improve the mood of others?

I try to be nice and try to tell something to distract them from it. While my friend was talking about some of her problems and it was getting a little too intense, I just felt like randomly telling her "did you know that cows can swim?" And it seems like that suddenly lightened her mood. I wouldn't consider myself that much able to change others emotions, at least I don't try to do that that often so I don't have a particular memory of it.

5. How do others' emotions affect you? How does your internal emotional state correlate or contrast with what you express?

I don't know. I don't think it affects me that much. Yes when they're happy I reflect that. But I don't think my inner state is that affected. I think it's not that correlating with my inner emotional state. I sometimes force it to change it but in terms of my natural state, I don't think I reflect it that much.

Meta-analysis:

I think I could've answered better and I could be a bit more self aware but I can't think of much experiences to properly answer.

Section 6

1. How can you tell how much emotional space there is between yourself and others? How can you affect this space?

How close and comfortable I feel and how they interact with me, I think? And them inviting me to stuff and being more personal, how long they've been with me. I can get closer by talking to them more often, doing things with them, being on the same wavelength, etc and they also have to be reciprocating. I kinda have difficulties making friends with feeling close and comfortable with them, being on the same wavelength and feeling connected or I don't feel comfortable with them when I be go into depressive mode after feeling a bit detached from everyone. It's like my mind freezes and I forget how to socialize. A lot of this may be worse due to mental health but I still remember feeling more shy as I got older and I kept asking myself why that is.

2. How do you determine how much you like or dislike someone else? How does this affect your relationships?

How they behave towards me, whether they seem to behave ethically according to me, whether they are charming and nice, whether they have admirable talents, whether we feel like we're on the same wavelength, whether I feel comfortable with them. I try to be more charming to someone I like but still it's difficult to get close to people.

3. How do you move from a distant relationship to a close one? What are the distinguishing characteristics of a close relationship?

Similar to what I've said in the first one. I've played games with them, making a clan together in clash of clans for example, talking about my hobbies and getting them into it, doing things with them. Feeling comfortable with them and having a story of exclusivity in doing things with them, feeling comfortable to get them up anytime and it being reciprocated. If it feels like I don't belong and it's not reciprocated, I don't feel comfortable going behind their back.

4. How do you know that you are a moral person? Where do you draw your morality from? Do you believe others should share your beliefs on what's moral? Why?

I know I'm a moral person when I think what I do will be beneficial as a whole. How do I filter out my option from many others out there? My judgement. Partly from religion, partly cultural, partly what I think makes sense. Relgious and cultural aspects affect the creation of feeling of digust/motivation, my understanding of how it's harmful gives the necessary justification. It's not as effective as it could when only having one. You might have cognitive dissonance or procrastination and whatnot. I think the minor aspects of morality are primarily influenced by religion - minor aspects can be specific preferences and culturally influenced one, I can see myself being like that to if I had been born to their circumstances, things like the modesty in dressing, drinking alcohol or smoking (a mix between minor and major morality), eating pork, etc. The major aspects of morality are what I think of as basic and logical things like being kind and not being malicious, of course not killing ,etc, these are also influenced by religion but it's mostly common among people anyway. With different major morality I'll be keeping a distance from that person. I think it's somewhat difficult for me to be fully close to someone with different minor morality, but I'm not too pressed on it in terms of making friends, I'll just keep track of it in my mind. But for deeper relations, I might get influenced by them so I try to keep a distance until I'm not feeling too uncomfortable fully easing in. I also think of how it'll integrate with my parents and religion if someone really significant like my wife is differring a lot on my morality, even if I'm not very religious, I still keep a bit of the moral aspects I learned which I still think are useful and good. In that case, I'm a bit more strict, at least I think of how to integrate these two together.

5. Someone you care about is acting distant to you. How do you know when this attitude is a reflection of your relationship?

Because I may have done something, I may haven't been talking to him that often so he doesn't feel comfortable. If he already has something going on maybe it isn't the relationship, I think it would be better to check in on him and see how it is, just talk to him for a bit and see how he replies and if he making any initiative.

Meta-analysis:

It sort of felt like I could've given better and shorter answers.

Section 7

1. How can you tell someone has the potential to be a successful person? What qualities make a successful person and why?

If they have the ability to have unusual insights, if they can work hard, if they have a vision/principles, if they are intelligent, if they are social and can use it to a productive end.

2. Where would you start when looking for a new hobby? How do you find new opportunities and how do you choose which would be best?

I usually find my hobbies when I see them on the internet and find it cool. Pen spinning, pure math, programming, drawing, 3d modelling, physics, Rubik's cubes, linguistics, psychology, meditation, philosophy. I don't want it to completely be unproductive/mind numbing though, I don't really want to brain numb and binge watch lots of Netflix. I already have enough brain numbing things on my phone and I'm trying to reduce it. I don't want more.

3. How do you interpret the following statement: "Ideas don't need to be feasible in order to be worthwhile." Do you agree or disagree, and why?

Agree. Yeah the way you think about ideas can be applied, the process of making new ideas hones your ability to make other useful ideas in the future and some ideas can be worthwhile in the future, you never know when their use pops up so its nice to explore, at least for the sake of understanding if you're not sacrificing too much energy or time.

4. Describe your thought process when relating the following ideas: swimming, chicken, sciences. Do you think that others would draw the same or different connections?

My first thought was to throw chicken into a river and do scientific studies on how they react, how well they swim, variance in results between chicken species and age, etc.

5. How would you summarize the qualities that are essential to who you are? What kind of potential in you has yet to be actualized and why?

Nice (at least tries to be), intellectually curious, trying to work on mysel,lf, my religious and cultural influences from my childhood. I can be a lot more social, witty, charismatic, use my mind a lot more deeply instead of feeling brain fog, feel life a bit more deeply and have confidence in my true inner thoughts and my actions and how I deal with adversity. Feel more in touch with myself and my surroundings by meditating more and removing my bad habits. Feel more in touch with friends, family, my culture, do what I think would be cool to do.

Meta-analysis:

Not much to say.

Section 8

1. How do people change? Can you describe how various events change people? Can others see those changes?

People change usually when something affects them so deep that it stays with them in their mind, giving them a consistent force in the right direction, and makes them willing to sacrifice and do something consistently. It's easier when they are primed to change due to their principles. Life circumstances and self preservation instincts of a person is also a manifestation of this. When you do something consistently, you get used to it and you change deeply, sometimes it doesn't have to be because of a life circumstance and you don't have to understand it. Sometimes an authority(/religion/culture) can train you for the life experience you haven't had yet. Others don't always see the changes but some deep changes are impossible to hide, there will be some subtle signs that you can notice in a peson, especially if you're close to them.

2. How do you feel and experience time? Can time be wasted? How?

I don't understand how to explain how I experience time. I don't think there is much special about it. Time goes in a more satisfying way when I've done something fulfilling. It feels like I'm detached from time, just letting it pass by. It's weird to think about, my thoughts about it don't feel clear. Time can be wasted by doing this that are not useful and fulfilling. Like using your phone in a mind numbing way or not doing the work that you have to do, that time just goes by wasted.

3. Is there anything that cannot be described with words? What is it? If so, how can we understand what it is if language does not work?

A lot of things related to consciousness can't be explained in words, you have to feel it, possibly through meditating. Language comes up bundled with society and other connotations, words are socially agreed upon bundles of meaning, it's not personal. And understanding requires relating it with something that you've already experienced in some way.

5. In what situations is timing important? How do you know the time is right to act? How do you feel about waiting for the right moment?

Depends on if it feels like the opportunity will only get worse if I keep waiting, I guess. Sometimes it doesn't matter that much in that case I have to do it as soon as possible so that I can do other things. Sometimes the opportunity comes up on it's own and you have to be aware and sieze it. I guess sometimes you predict what's going to happen and you prepare for that and when that happens you act. Sometimes you predict when the situation has changed in a way that your decision is more favourable than most times.

Meta-analysis:

A bit difficult to answer. also there are typos here and there in general I hope they weren't too confusing.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WAZg_anOdRSa8aZs1wKgIp7xqps8_CsVroonQFbJYGU/edit?usp=sharing

I'm torn between SEI, SLI and maybe even ILI so i needed some help aaa

Please type from the questions about each function answered by my friend.

Please note that my friend is not an English speaker and may have difficulty reading some parts.

Thank you for your cooperation!

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HVyPiKU0kvDogPGgNkAC8DqO9oGIOb2f6ax1LbnHg2M/edit?usp=sharing

Could anyone help type me?? I did this questionnaire and if anyone would just like to give their input I'd be grateful to hear it!! I tried to answer the questions as if I was talking to someone because it felt more genuine.

Section 1

• How do you work? Why do people go to work? Are there any parameters that determine whether you can do work or not? What are they? I would say depending on the job I have a tendency to push myself way too hard to the point of tiring myself, ESPECIALLY if it's doing work I feel like I really need to get done. Whenever i work at a job though i usually (very noticeably in my experience HEJWFWJW) hate it like i dont necessarily complain a whole lot but usually i end up joking around with people there who also hate it. I think the reason for people working varies from person to person but for the most part I think it's in large part forced by the society we live in, like a sort of be a slave or be homeless and die sort of vibe :/. I refuse to be treated with no respect by a job, I recently left a job on the spot because I felt like they were completely disrespecting my time and honestly I'm not dealing with it they can go to hell LMAO.

• How do you determine the quality of work? How do you determine the quality of a purchase? Do you pay any attention to it? Ummmm, I suppose I would say the work is quality if it consistently works for what I need it to?? It's not really something I think about a whole lot. Like I'm not really picky with most details so like if something is good I don't think about it much beyond that.

• There is a professional next to you. How do you know they are a professional? How do you evaluate their skill? If they tell me they're a professional I'd probably just believe it I don't really have a reason not to ig?? But like ig if they're consistently not able to do w/e work they're trying to do then that's probably a good sign XD. I don't really make a habit of "evaluating" others performance unless it's something I know how to do myself and even then i only do it if I feel like it'll actually be helpful to the person.

• If you struggle to do something, how do you fix that? Do you know if your performance is better or worse than others? If I struggle I kinda see what might have went wrong with what I did and then I try to fix it for next time!! Practice makes perfect after all and I can't really be good at something if I don't try to improve (unless it's just something someone is a natural but even they can still improve HENEGWJW). As for comparing my performance to others I suppose I would probably have a harder time doing that?? Sometimes games/other areas will have metrics shown and you can use those ig as an indicator but even then those only show so much and it seems like too much to care about anyways.

• How do you measure the success of a job? What standard do you use? Do you pay attention to it? When should you deviate from this standard? Uhhhh I'm just gonna say no to this question because what even DHENEGWK. Ig you can kinda use my answers from above to answer this to but who has a standard for their job that feels so over the top RHKEEGWKWGW.

Section 2

• What is a whole? Can you identify its parts? Are the parts equivalent to the whole? A whole can mean a lot of things depending on the situation so I'm not really sure how to answer this?? Honestly a lot of this question feels very very dependent on a situation to me. Like sometimes the parts are equivalent to the whole, sometimes they arent?? I can't really answer this too well in general

• What does "logical" mean? What is your understanding? Do you think that it correlates with the common view? How do you know you are being logical? Technically everybody has their own internal logic, tho not everybody's logic is really sound or consistent since we're all human and biases play a pretty major role in how we see the world. I do think calling someone "logical" tends to refer to how sound and consistent that logic is tho. I'm not really sure what the common view of logic is, like it feels like people will throw it around and mean different things so I'm not sure how well mine lines up?? Ik I'm not being logical because most of the time I'm not :3 (I like to think sometimes I am actually but honestly I'm just coming up with explanations that make the most sense to me, others have called me smart and logical before I suppose but I often feel like I'm grasping at straws)

• What is hierarchy? Give examples of hierarchies. Do you need to follow it? Why or why not? Explain how hierarchy is used in a system you are familiar with. Hierarchy is any structure where there are defined differences in the status of people/things within the structure. I think in people this typically shows as an exploiter and exploited but it doesn't necessarily have to be ig. I would argue hierarchy usually needs to be avoided rather than followed, I don't think it tends to do anything but use the people at the bottom for the benefit of the people at the top.

• What is classification? How does classification work? Why is it needed and where is it applied? Give examples. Classification is basically like categorizing different things to be able to give some sort of easy reference to it when describing it. Like you put something "in a box" that kind of roughly explains some things about it even if it's not always perfectly accurate. Without classification I feel like it'd probably be really hard to explain anything, or at least maybe it would just take way longer?? Basically it helps us understand things and explain them!! One example that seems pretty easy is socionics itself tho, given we categorize different traits into different functions and types

• Are your ideas consistent? How do you know they are consistent? How do you spot inconsistency in others' ideas? I like to think they are?? I don't know if I have a good way of knowing if they are or aren't as I said earlier I really do feel like im just grasping at straws a lot of the time EHEJEHW. I'm not sure how well I do spot inconsistency?? I'm honestly super forgetful so it can be hard to really do that sort of thing.

Section 3

• Can you press people? What methods do you use? How does it happen? I definitely can press people, but it's not really something I often do. I tend to be pretty laid back but I've had more than a few instances where someone was making a friend feel bad/uncomfortable and when it comes to others I can be very very protective/aggressive in those situations. I'm not sure if I have like concrete "methods" for how I do it?? It feels a bit too rigid but ig if I were to describe it I mostly just am stubbornly aggressive (and usually pretty angry in these situations XD) until they just kinda give up?? Probably doesn't answer much but yea HEJWWGWJW

• How do you get what you want? What do you do if you have to work to get what you want? I mean if I want something I just work to get what I want?? Like ik that seems like such a simple answer but like I don't really know how to answer it otherwise DHENEVWJ. I can be pretty persistent if it's something I really really want and having to work towards it isn't usually an issue I think.

• How do you deal with opposition? What methods do you use to defend your interests? I think I tend to have a lot more bark than bite, but I think generally that's been enough for me in the past when it comes to these situations?? I don't have a lot I feel like I need to defend often.

• When do you think it's ok to occupy someone's space? Do you recognize it? It's ok to occupy someone's space if they say it's ok to EHEJEGW, although it can also be ok if a person is trying to harm themselves cause obvs I'm not just gonna let them do that I'd feel horrible.

• Do others think you are a strong-willed person? Do you think you have a strong will? I'm not really sure if others think I am?? Like people who know me well proooooobably would but I'm not really sure tbh. As for myself I would say I sometimes am and sometimes am not, mostly just because I'm a pretty vibey kinda gal and most things tend to be ok with me.

Section 4

• How do you satisfy your physical senses? What examples can you give? What physical experiences are you drawn to? I mean ig I satisfy my senses in lots of ways like food and drink or like comfy clothes or like music or etc. Like there's 5 senses and a lot of things that affect each of them so yea there's obvs a lot XD. Tho for me I really like curling up into some videos and watching comfort videos (and probably falling asleep LMAO) and also I really love to cook and trying new foods (I'm a hella foodie fr)

• How do you find harmony with your environment? How do you build a harmonious environment? What happens if this harmony is disturbed? Ummmmm I'm not 100% sure ik what this means but I think if I understand correctly then I think most of the time I tend to just be able to find harmony with an environment?? Nature and more down to earth settings are definitely wayyyyy better for this tho, like cities and industry doesn't really do too well for it IMO. Basically just like somewhere where there's good vibes all around and nothing too crazy or over the top. If something is disturbing the harmony ig I'd just try to fix it or if I can't then work around it as best I can?? Like what I'd do does seem kinda situational so yea

• What does comfort mean to you? How do you create it? Comfort to me means a lot of things!! It can be a cozy bed or a nice meal or a piece of media I'm really attached to and like sm more like yea there's so many ways to be comfortable!! Comfortable can be kinda a fickle thing tho, but it's usually not too hard to fix when it is I think. Ig I create it by making sure everyone's needs are met and that everyone is having a good time?? Like idk how much more in depth I can really get with a thing like that XD

• How do you express yourself in your hobbies? How do you engage yourself with those things? My main hobby is definitely gaming in which I definitely express my more curious and stubborn sides. I love games that challenge me a lot (like soulsborne games are some of my favs), although I also love games where I can get really attached to the characters. When I engage in my hobbies I have a pretty "all or nothing" mentality where I kinda just go all in on in for maybe a little way too long LMAO

• Tell us how you'd design any room, house or an office. Do you do it yourself, or trust someone else to do it? Why? For designing a room I usually just find a bunch of cute things I really like and place them wherever vibes right to me in the moment. I'm not too concerned with ideas of like needing a general aesthetic, so long as the room is nice I'm not gonna go overboard with it. I mayyyybe would trust someone else in designing it but tbh I'd probably end up annoyed with how they did it so I usually just like to do it myself for that reason

Section 5

• Is it acceptable to express emotions in public? Give examples of inappropriate expression of emotions. Obviously?? Like we're not robots, let people have their feelings frfr. Like so long as someone isn't using their emotions to try to hurt or manipulate someone else then just let them be!! The world shouldn't be all hush hush surrounding the people we are on the inside, and so many people get stifled by stupid ideas of etiquette and fake politeness and I hate it. As for an inappropriate expression you could say unchecked anger is often pretty not good, given its usually pretty hurtful and usually for no good reason (although this doesn't apply to directed anger, anger is a very valid emotion and does have a point too!!)

• How do you express your emotions? Can you tell how your expressions affect others in a positive or negative way? I mean I wouldn't call myself boisterous or anything, but I'm definitely a noticeably expressive person. People used to look at me whenever someone was lying and they thought I knew about it which is like really funny asf but also frustrating asf XD. Like I've learned pretty early on in life that I have to be like one of the easiest people to read in all of existence XD. I can definitely tell how I'm affecting others too, at least to a degree?? Like I'm not gonna say I know every single little nuance to what someone is feeling, but I like to think I'm pretty good at reading how others are feeling.

• Are you able to change your demeanor in order to interact with your environment in a more or less suitable way? How do you determine what is suitable? Yea I definitely can, tho I don't like to. I prefer being my honest self but if I feel like it's unsafe to be that way then I can absolutely present in a different way which isn't often but it's usually at jobs.

• In what situations do you feel others' feelings? Can you give examples of when you wanted to improve the mood of others? I feel like im hella empathetic and feel others' feelings most if not all of the time, even if I can't 100% place exactly what the emotion is 100% of the time, often I'll feel like someone's mood is "off" and I'm pretty direct in asking about it (which I feel like maybe annoys people but I worry too much sometimes HRJEGWJW). I've never been good with examples, especially with a thing like this cause I feel like I want to do this often and do end up doing this often. I'm very often there for my friends (and strangers occasionally, but thats a bit rarer) when they need me.

• How do others' emotions affect you? How does your internal emotional state correlate or contrast with what you express? Others emotions can affect me a LOT. It's pretty normal for me to cry when other people cry or laugh whenever other people laugh and like even in fictional stories I can feel very connected to the emotions of characters especially in big moments. I think unless I'm sad my expression is pretty much a 1 to 1 of how I'm feeling. I don't really like to express my sadness because it just makes them worry and I don't want that for them (although if I'm too sad it still comes thru in my expressions for sure)

Section 6

• How can you tell how much emotional space there is between yourself and others? How can you affect this space? Maybe?? Like I'm not 100% sure if I can or can't. Like ik how close I consider someone to be but I'm not sure if I can judge it well from their end??

• How do you determine how much you like or dislike someone else? How does this affect your relationships? I think it's mostly just vibes, like if someone is fun and interesting to be around then I like them, also so long as they're not toxic or hold really gross beliefs that hurt others. I think most of the time I'm pretty easy to get along with, like I dont really think I'm particularly judgemental or anything although as I've mentioned a few times I really don't like when people hurt others.

• How do you move from a distant relationship to a close one? What are the distinguishing characteristics of a close relationship? Hmm, ig I sometimes feel a little helpless in this way cause like I kinda just feel like I interact with most people in mostly the same way?? I can have a hard time with being comfortable with people at first because trust issues but like it can go away pretty quickly if the vibes are good but I don't necessarily feel like this is a reflection of how close or far a relationship is it's just kinda me feeling comfy being myself and then w/e happens with a relationship happens ig. One of my exes phrased it in such a way that "I annoyed him until he started liking me" and I feel like maybe that's the case with most people??

• How do you know that you are a moral person? Where do you draw your morality from? Do you believe others should share your beliefs on what's moral? Why? So long as I'm not hurting people I'd say that's pretty moral. Some people have this weird obsession with policing peoples personal lives under some nonsense morality but honestly so long as you're being kind to others that's really enough for me. There can be a lot that goes into being kind ofc and unlearning a lot of toxic beliefs we're raised in is important to that but at the end of the day everyone has their own life and struggles and we should strive to make it better not worse.

• Someone you care about is acting distant to you. How do you know when this attitude is a reflection of your relationship? I'm not sure how often I do know this actually?? I think if I feel someone being distant or closed off I'll usually just be direct and ask them.

Section 7

• How can you tell someone has the potential to be a successful person? What qualities make a successful person and why? Success is such a broad term, what I might consider successful to my own life might not be what success looks like to someone else!! I think so long as people are happy with the life they're living then that's success enough.

• Where would you start when looking for a new hobby? How do you find new opportunities and how do you choose which would be best? I just kinda do whatever interests me and if it sticks it sticks. My friends will often recommend new things to do and that always pretty exciting!! But if no one else is involved I kinda just wander and try new things and idk if I'm particularly discerning of things I should or shouldn't be looking for.

• How do you interpret the following statement: "Ideas don't need to be feasible in order to be worthwhile." Do you agree or disagree, and why? I generally agree with this!! An idea can tell us a lot of things, maybe about ourselves or about how a thing might work or about so many things and IMO why should we be stifling ideas just because they arent ""worthwhile""!! Even if an idea isn't necessarily worthwhile, it could still be fun to talk about too.

• Describe your thought process when relating the following ideas: swimming, chicken, sciences. Do you think that others would draw the same or different connections? Umm, ig I would say maybe there's scientists who are testing a chickens ability to swim?? I have no idea what others might comes up with tbh DHENEGW

• How would you summarize the qualities that are essential to who you are? What kind of potential in you has yet to be actualized and why? Ummmmm ig I just go off of what others typically describe me as?? Like people typically say I'm compassionate and affectionate and also smart (tho I don't agree with that one HDNWGW). As for the 2nd question I'm drawing pure blanks like what does this even mean?? XD

Section 8

• How do people change? Can you describe how various events change people? Can others see those changes? Ummmmm like ig major events can change people?? Like if someone is traumatized they might change because of that?? And like in a case like that it'd be pretty easy to see the change?? But ig people change all the time, and those are maybe seeable by others.

• How do you feel and experience time? Can time be wasted? How? I have like absolutely 0 sense of time perception and sometimes that stresses me out to no end although i have ADHD so this makes sense. I'm always early to pretty much anything scheduled cause the idea of being late stresses me out sm that I just kinda wanna get everywhere early XD. I don't really believe tike can be wasted, like we're all living our own lives and it doesn't really matter all that much how we spend it.

• Is there anything that cannot be described with words? What is it? If so, how can we understand what it is if language does not work? I feel like most things can be described in words with enough time, tho maybe not always perfectly. Like feelings can often be really hard to put words to and it just comes down to vibes and trying our best.

• How do you anticipate events unfolding? How can you observe such unfoldments in your environment? I don't LMAO

• In what situations is timing important? How do you know the time is right to act? How do you feel about waiting for the right moment? Timing is probably pretty important in a lot of situations?? I'm not really good at that tho, it's always been something that's kinda rough for me (probably cause of the terrible sense of time XD). I hate waiting, like a lot. It genuinely fills me with sm dread and annoyance when I have to wait especially if I'm in a situation where I don't really know where what's happening like I get so stressed

Hii guys I'll just answer any question you ask cuz I don't have time to answer the long questionnaires.

At the end of each section, give a meta-analysis of your experience answering it. Consider: Did some questions make you feel strained or at ease? Were the questions straightforward or did your mind go blank at any point? Were you confused at any point? Did any questions make you lose interest and want to stop? Were there any questions you had to edit down because you wrote too much?

##Section 1

1. How do you work? Why do people go to work? Are there any parameters that determine whether you can do work or not? What are they?

People work because they want to gain money and survive in this world. My workstyle is often procrastinating until I feel like it is the right time to start working; to which then I tend to go in a ‘rhythm’ that keeps me going. It's like a landslide; it starts little, and then it becomes more. I do take short breaks, but they’re very short (unless I need to nap due to lack of sleep, which is only twenty minutes, or that I’ve completed the majority of the work). For parameters, the main thing that determines whether I can do work or not is basically if I feel ready to work (‘ready’ as in; “It’s time to work” and not “I’m ready to work now”).

2. How do you determine the quality of work? How do you determine the quality of a purchase? Do you pay any attention to it?

The quality of work is determined by how much effort is put onto that specific work. This is because effort often leads to quality. As for the quality of a purchase, I always think that, if it’s something you use often, then the quality of your purchase is high because you are often using it (even though the product is expensive). Otherwise, it’s not worth it.

3. There is a professional next to you. How do you know they are a professional? How do you evaluate their skill?

To identify a professional, you need to see how they carry themselves. Most professionals from what I’ve seen are people who are confident in their area of expertise; nevermind their behavior, but sometimes cheerfulness is a good indicator because cheerfulness means confidence at times.

4. If you struggle to do something, how do you fix that? Do you know if your performance is better or worse than others?

If I were to struggle with something, I tend to look into Google or ask my acquaintances for help (those that know better on what to do with a certain task in our assignments). And yes, I tend to know if my performance is better or worse than others by the quality of it, but I don't really care much of it as long it gets me good marks to pass (unless it's terribly ass).

5. How do you measure the success of a job? What standard do you use? Do you pay attention to it? When should you deviate from this standard?

It’s simple; the more salary you have, the more successful the job would be. However, this standard is only deviated when the working conditions are too awful (such as being mistreated, toxic co-workers for example). Still, if you gain a lot of money from it, then it’s still a successful job. A perfect job is when you feel happy doing it while getting lots of money — though I don't believe that anyone could be truly happy with their job due to pressure and such, and I feel like people would be happier if everyone desired work for money and not for happiness (just my opinion).

Meta-analysis:

Most of these answers are written based on what I’m going through in college right now; and some thinking about the future of what I would act. Although I’m not 100% certain, I’m pretty sure that these answers are what I would do when I actually work.

##Section 2

1. What is a whole? Can you identify its parts? Are the parts equivalent to the whole?

A whole contains parts, and the parts are equivalent to the whole. There is nothing else; no such thing as “the whole is more than the sum of its parts”; I find that statement pretty eye-rolling.

2. What does "logical" mean? What is your understanding? Do you think that it correlates with the common view? How do you know you are being logical?

“Logical” means to act accordingly that is within reason; something that is like, if X happens, then you should do Y. Though I’m not sure if my understanding of logic correlates the common view, but I’d say it would since logic and reason go together (the basis of reason stems from logic, if I’m not mistaken).

3. What is hierarchy? Give examples of hierarchies. Do you need to follow it? Why or why not? Explain how hierarchy is used in a system you are familiar with.

When I think of hierarchy, I often think of people with an amount of power; from the most powerful man to the least powerful. Sometimes I don’t like following hierarchies because it is sometimes rather stupid.

4. What is classification? How does classification work? Why is it needed and where is it applied? Give examples.

Classification works when you need to sort out documents and the abilities of other people. Such classification is needed when you need to know where to go to someone. But I also classify people based on how close to me.

5. Are your ideas consistent? How do you know they are consistent? How do you spot inconsistency in others' ideas?

I don’t think my ideas are too consistent; unless it is something that needs to be applied in work or assignments. Inconsistency is often spotted when it doesn’t line up with what we are required to do for our assignments; other than that, if it’s within the requirements, then it’s acceptable (with further discussion).

Meta-analysis:

Writing this section is pretty painful; not that I hate it, but I find myself exhausted having to explain these things in the questions. These are things that don’t need to be mentioned in a descriptive manner.

##Section 3

1. Can you press people? What methods do you use? How does it happen?

I think I can press people somewhat; I tend to go up to them to ask for help when the time is right. But to my little brother, I tend to use a more forceful manner (Me: “Go do the dishes.” Him: “Ok.” doesn’t do it Me: “I said do the damn dishes.”) But to others who are acquaintances, such pressing is subtler, and convincing them with reasons that would impact them in a bad way (“If you don’t do this, this would happen), but ONLY when I need to do that.

2. How do you get what you want? What do you do if you have to work to get what you want?

I get what I want by working for it, or when I need to manage my finances or such; such as saving or setting money aside for this thing. Most of the time I tend to wait until it feels right to go get what I want.

3. How do you deal with opposition? What methods do you use to defend your interests?

I deal with opposition with reason and cause-and-effect reasons. I tend to not panic or whatnot because I find opposition to be natural; there’s going to be someone who disagrees with you. If my interests are being attacked, I tend to be dismissive of it (“Well, we’re all human, and I have my own shit and you have yours.”) Most of the time they tend to back off or sometimes laugh at it (or sometimes mockingly, but even then I laugh along).

4. When do you think it's ok to occupy someone's space? Do you recognize it?

I think it’s okay to occupy someone’s space when you ask permission from them. Something like; “Can I sit here?” If they allow me to, I will do that. If not, I’ll just sit somewhere else. I don’t really like to occupy someone’s space; I find it rather rude (unless it’s someone I hold close to, because I know they won’t mind).

5. Do others think you are a strong-willed person? Do you think you have a strong will?

Basing on the opinions of my close friends about me being a workaholic sometimes, I think they would consider me as someone strong-willed when the situation calls for it. And I think I do agree with this; most of the time I tend to go with the flow of things, rarely opposing anyone unless when no one is doing that.

Meta-analysis:

I like this section; I’m not sure why, but I found that I had fun writing this down compared to Section 2.

##Section 4

1. How do you satisfy your physical senses? What examples can you give? What physical experiences are you drawn to?

I satisfy them by simply going to bed and turning on the air-conditioner. A bed with a chilly room is something I really like; anything else is quite secondary to me. Usually when I go to bed to stay up with the air-conditioner on, it is to me the most beautiful time for me to simply go into my headspace and imagine all sorts of things (my characters, the future, etc.)

2. How do you find harmony with your environment? How do you build a harmonious environment? What happens if this harmony is disturbed?

When the harmony of the environment is disturbed, I don’t mind as much. Harmony is not always going to last, like many things. Harmony and disharmony tend to shift sometimes, and that is honestly okay, really. Nothing is permanent.

3. What does comfort mean to you? How do you create it?

Comfort is, to me, going into your bed with the air-conditioner on; where the air is cold (I live in a country where it’s rather hot). When these basic needs are satisfied, I am very happy. Other than that, everything else is not that important to me.

4. How do you express yourself in your hobbies? How do you engage yourself with those things?

I express myself in my hobbies by talking about it to people that I hold closely to. As for engaging myself, I tend to just sit and dwell in my headspace; that is considered a hobby to me. Anything physical and whatnot (like crafting, tinkering, etc.) I don’t find interest to.

5. Tell us how you'd design any room, house or an office. Do you do it yourself, or trust someone else to do it? Why?

When I design my house or room, I tend to just keep things the way it is; the only time I would actively design it is when it poses a problem. Otherwise, I think it’s alright.

Meta-analysis:

Like Section 2, this section is rather tiring to write; it feels as though I have to elaborate what I do, and I personally don’t feel like elaborating much — hence why these answers are shorter.

##Section 5

1. Is it acceptable to express emotions in public? Give examples of inappropriate expression of emotions.

Expressing emotions, to me, is fine. It’s what makes us human, after all. I don't mind if people laugh or cry or get angry, but I tend to prefer to let them be (though I laugh with them; I tend to react better when the atmosphere is positive).

2. How do you express your emotions? Can you tell how your expressions affect others in a positive or negative way?

I tend to remain calm and unexpressive most of the time, though sometimes I tend to react unconsciously towards happy things (laughter to jokes, for example). But towards anger or sadness, I keep it in; I don’t like showing weakness in public. I’m not sure if my expressions affect others, but I often hear them tell me that I am cold, judgemental, The Straight Man, etc. when they meet me as a first impression.

3. Are you able to change your demeanor in order to interact with your environment in a more or less suitable way? How do you determine what is suitable?

Sometimes, yes. It depends on who you're talking to, and I can adapt myself well (if I feel like it, if not then I don't care).

4. In what situations do you feel others' feelings? Can you give examples of when you wanted to improve the mood of others?

I feel others’ feelings when they are outright expressed to me (laughing, crying, being angry), but I don’t make changes to improve their mood or whatnot sometimes. I would say I am more reactive rather than proactive in terms of the emotional atmosphere, but most of the time I'm calm.

5. How do others' emotions affect you? How does your internal emotional state correlate or contrast with what you express?

Like I said, I tend to react to other people’s emotions, but I don’t react to fake expressions. If the emotions are genuine, then I would react. But after that, I return to a neutral state.

Meta-analysis:

The questions in this section are kinda ass, I’d say. On a footnote, although I tend to say I react to these emotions, I don’t really see the value of searching for light-hearted environments. And plus, the reactions I feel are internal and I prefer not to express them so vividly; even though I do express them, my natural state is just apathy or nonchalance.

##Section 6

1. How can you tell how much emotional space there is between yourself and others? How can you affect this space?

Based on how close I feel towards this person; whether this person is trustworthy and accepting of my inner self (my so-called ‘brainrot’ aka sharing my headspace and ideas) or not. If they are trustworthy, I’ll keep them in my ‘second-tier’ of friends. If they are both, I’ll keep them in my ‘first-tier’. The titles of these tiers are self-explanatory, I think.

2. How do you determine how much you like or dislike someone else? How does this affect your relationships?

I generally go with the vibes and sometimes the opinions of my first-tier friends (these opinions must be true). Because of this, I tend to feel if I like this person or not; but if I’m given any facts that this person is this or that, I tend to change the level accordingly – contempt if the person is not trustworthy, or admiration to people who I find are sincere.

3. How do you move from a distant relationship to a close one? What are the distinguishing characteristics of a close relationship?

As I’ve said earlier, the person needs to be someone loyal and trustworthy, and be fine with me expressing myself completely to them; that is, my inner headspace and such. Only then I would feel at ease with someone (though oftentimes most people don’t qualify for these since I tend to be way too attached with my current closest friends, or the first-tier of friends I have).

4. How do you know that you are a moral person? Where do you draw your morality from? Do you believe others should share your beliefs on what's moral? Why?

I honestly don’t think I’m a moral person; my morality is rather gray, and I stick to the facts to judge whether or not this action is correct or not. But that doesn’t mean I’m always ‘neutral’; I find it pointless if someone were to murder someone else, even though I understand why they did that.

5. Someone you care about is acting distant to you. How do you know when this attitude is a reflection of your relationship?

I honestly have no clue, so I tend to ask them what’s wrong, and to tell me what I did wrong. This is true for my closest friends; for others, I don’t honestly care that much.

Meta-analysis:

I find myself neutral writing these questions; no exhaustion, but not too ecstatic. Still, it’s actually pretty enjoyable compared to some of the sections before this.

##Section 7

1. How can you tell someone has the potential to be a successful person? What qualities make a successful person and why?

It would be obvious that someone has the potential to be a successful person if they have the ambition and willpower to get what they want. For me, people like these are admirable; even despite the danger or uncertainty they face, they still steamroll through it. Whether or not they fail or succeed doesn’t really matter; it’s the fact they are courageous enough to go forward with it.

2. Where would you start when looking for a new hobby? How do you find new opportunities and how do you choose which would be best?

If I feel like it. That’s all.

3. How do you interpret the following statement: "Ideas don't need to be feasible in order to be worthwhile." Do you agree or disagree, and why?

Yes and no; on one hand, it’s good to accumulate ideas and play with them in your head, and it doesn’t need to be feasible to be worthwhile. But on the other hand, seeing other people do that I just kind of feel bored; what’s the point when you don’t gain anything in return?

4. Describe your thought process when relating the following ideas: swimming, chicken, sciences. Do you think that others would draw the same or different connections?

Are you kidding me?

5. How would you summarize the qualities that are essential to who you are? What kind of potential in you has yet to be actualized and why?

I don’t really pay much attention to my own qualities; I know that I am good with said qualities, but I don’t need to actively summarize it all the time. If anything, if a close friend of mine tell me that I’m good with this, I often go; “I know right?” because I never really thought that I could do that.

Meta-analysis:

I’m aware some of the questions may not correlate to expected answers (since this seems to lean toward Ne), but I’m alright with answering these questions with my own answers.

##Section 8

1. How do people change? Can you describe how various events change people? Can others see those changes?

Yes, people change all the time (whether quickly or slowly). My dad always told me that life goes on, and things will change; and honestly I agree with it because I’ve seen it with my own eyes about it. There are various events that can change people; like going to a new workplace, making new friends, getting into a break-up, trauma, and so forth. The possible events are endless, but they all lead to the same thing; it will slowly change someone’s behavior. I think such a thing is natural because nothing is truly permanent. All things will end eventually.

2. How do you feel and experience time? Can time be wasted? How?

I experience time in a way that feels like it’s passing by? I’m not sure how to put it concretely, but it feels like it’s passing by continuously, if that makes sense (though I don’t panic, it’s only natural). As for me, time can’t exactly be wasted; especially when waiting for the right moment. That’s why I don’t exactly disagree with the quote “Time is money”, because it only happens when you’re excessively wasting your time, like doing nothing to change your situation. But at the same time I am not always working my ass off; when there's nothing to do, I just relax.

3. Is there anything that cannot be described with words? What is it? If so, how can we understand what it is if language does not work?

Yes, though to me it is often things that I understand but I’m not sure how to put it in words. How I tend to say it out is by using metaphors – I think for a long time to put it in a way that makes complete sense to others.

4. How do you anticipate events unfolding? How can you observe such unfoldments in your environment?

I tend to just ‘know’ sometimes, and sometimes to me it’s quite obvious that X would lead to Y. Most of the time, my ‘predictions’ are correct, and although I tend to downplay it when people praise me for this ability, to me it’s just obvious that it’s going to turn out that way.

5. In what situations is timing important? How do you know the time is right to act? How do you feel about waiting for the right moment?

It’s hard to explain, but for me the time is right to act when I ‘feel’ that it is time to act. As for the exact feelings, I honestly don’t know; I just think, “Ok, now is the time” and that’s pretty much it. Though I would like to add that sometimes it depends on the outside circumstances too, but overall I just know when to act and when to not; it’s hard to say. Many circumstances can affect on when to know what's the right time to act or not, but generally speaking I mostly act when I feel like it's time.

Meta-analysis:

I feel like I could write paragraphs in this section, but I decided not to because I don’t want anyone reading this to feel overwhelmed by how much I wrote. But overall this makes me feel “hum! interesting!”, if that makes any sense.

Alright. I think I am an ile, but I'm still questioning it, and I could use an outside perspective. The other alternative would probably be lii.

I would like to think I am a very philosophical person. I am a fiction writer, writing mostly sci fi with some fantasy. I will say this, I absolutely value Fe. That said, that isn't impossible for an lii.

So far it sounds like I'm absolutely a ile, so let's get into it. I love questioning the definitions of things and defining them. I care deeply about reason behind action, consistency in position, and making decisions based off that reason instead of from a personal viewpoint.

I think people should present their opinions in a kind way, but I can sometimes be rude unintentionally. I have also found that I do often try to narrow down the possibilities to find an answer, though I narrow down the possibilities through brainstorming reasons why something may or may not be true.

I can be super extroverted on occasion, but am on average pretty reserved.

What do you think? Honestly, what is your first impression, and why do you think I fit the conclusion you came to?

I found this questionnaire in SocionicsTypeMe. Any help appreciated. (Some extra information, I am 23, law student, 6w5 so/sp.) English not my first language, so please excuse me if there are errors or if things hard to understand.

Section 1

**1. How do you work? Why do people go to work? Are there any parameters that determine whether you can do work or not? What are they?**

I will divide the question of work style into three sub-questions for clarity : Attention pattern during work (am I focused or distractable?), social preference (Cooperation or independent?), and structural preference (clearly defined goals and deadlines or flexible flows). 1. I can be both depending on the type of work. For intellectually/skill-wise engaging work (writing, math proofs, drawing etc.), I am very focused. However, for more menial work I am somewhat distractible but will nonetheless finish it on time. 2. I am an independent worker. 3. I usually have clearly defined goals and deadlines except for apparently unimportant tasks (A goal to read more books, would be an example of goals that I wouldn’t be too strict about.) Humans work to survive, essentially. With the development of increasingly complex society, there are plenty of types of work that seem to only have a weak relationship with survival (arts is a commonly noticed one). However, it can still be argued that they serve a significant function to the working of the society, and therefore can be said to support our survival. I am able to work most of the times. I would say that the only parameter that determines it is my mental and physical state (Illness, mental illness etc.) However, for specific types of work there are more parameters. For physically or mentally strenuous work, time and impact would be a parameter (Examples would include things like no heavy workout before driving test to make sure that I have enough energy.) Note: Slightly unsure what the last part is asking about.

**2. How do you determine the quality of work? How do you determine the quality of a purchase? Do you pay any attention to it?**

Yes I do pay attention to both. For work, there are mainly two factors. 1. Is it reaching the goal in a satisfying way? (Ex. Writing an article for an academic journal. Is my article good enough in the sense that it is appropriate for the journal, provides unique insights, is logically coherent, and etc?) 2. Is the process efficient (am I spending too much time on it?)? Quality of purchase is similar. Is it achieving the goal? (Ex. I am buying a vacuum, can it vacuum well?) Is the price/quality ratio good? (This vacuum may be top-notch but if it is too overpriced I wouldn’t consider the purchase to be of high quality.)

**3. There is a professional next to you. How do you know they are a professional? How do you evaluate their skill?**

Is this something that I am familiar with or not? If familiar, I will be able to tell just from conversing with them about their expertise. They are actual professionals if they know their facts related to their expertise and methodology, and just overall seem to have gone through a thorough process of education (informal or formal). Apparent evidence that they have actual hands on experience is a plus, but I wouldn’t consider it always necessary. (Certain fields are mainly theory based.) If unfamiliar, I will be able to tell that they are not a professional by logical inconsistency, things that they say that contradict common sense, and words that are likely exaggeration/lies. 
Generally speaking, I am not overly skeptical of people who claim to be a professional in most real life situations that I can encounter. (Ex. I go to car repair, I would mainly assume that the technicians know their things. I study at university, I would assume that my professors know their things.) While anomalies occur, it is rational to believe that the system (employer interview, peer reviews, customer reviews) keeps people competent enough for the job. (Many people want to argue otherwise, but both rationally and through my experience I would say that the system can be trusted in this way.) I would question when they are worth questioning. I would be much more skeptical when it is online due to the anonymity. 

**4. If you struggle to do something, how do you fix that? Do you know if your performance is better or worse than others?**

I first determine what makes me struggle in the first place. Is it a mentality issue, health, social problems, skills, etc.? After determining it, I try to problem-solve them. Example: If it lack necessary skills, I would train more. Mentality issues and social issues are tricky, with the former I tend to (over) intellectualize my problems and try to snap out of it (with varying degrees of success), with the latter I sometimes try and sometimes give up, depending on whether I am busy with other things. The best ways that I can tell include analyzing as objectively as possible through the lens of completing goals, going through formal assessments like exams, I also give enough credits to the opinion of people who perform the task well (Ex. Do I sing better than others? If all of us sing a song, do I have better techniques than others? Do I win competitions? Do professional singers say that I sing well?)

**5. How do you measure the success of a job? What standard do you use? Do you pay attention to it? When should you deviate from this standard?**

I would interpret this question as asking what I think makes a good job (instead of a good employee.) My personal measurement of the success of a job is financial success (have room for advancement), being able to develop my expertise (so likely something that I am good at), justice, enough independence/solitude, and enough work life balance (9-5 is really decent for me). I would deviate from this standard if I cannot find anything like it.

**Meta-analysis:** Generally speaking, my style of working and job seeking is very goal-directed and steady.

Section 2

**1. What is a whole? Can you identify its parts? Are the parts equivalent to the whole?**

A whole is the entirety of the (concrete abstract) object at hand. Sometimes you can, when there are parts to it. (Ex of when you cannot: the whole of the concept of a point, not a drawn on point btw.). Non they are not. I am inclined to say yes if you characterize things like relationships between static parts “parts” instead of something else (which is what I believe).

**2. What does "logical" mean? What is your understanding? Do you think that it correlates with the common view? How do you know you are being logical?**

Logical as a adjective to describe people means being able to draw logically sound conclusions and then act accordingly. I do think that it correlate with many views popular in philosophy, but is not the same as the most popular view (which I find to include anything from “emotionless”, smart, rude, and being able to achieve an objective or the combination of these.) I find the common view to be mainly false, although a logical person may appear smart to people, be interpreted as rude, and be able to achieve objective easier due to seeing the situation more clearly. I know that I am logical when I am consistently competent at doing what I described as being logical. Easy when it comes to theories and cases where facts are presented, that is why I am very confident about me being logical when it is a discussion (written or oral). However, when it comes to decision making it is much fuzzier than what people think, and even logical conclusions can lead to failed decisions (due to facts not being clear or chances that is hard to be taken into account.) I would admit that I am prone to doubt myself and reanalyze when that happens.

**3. What is hierarchy? Give examples of hierarchies. Do you need to follow it? Why or why not? Explain how hierarchy is used in a system you are familiar with.**

Hierarchy is a system where there are the components are organized by levels. Examples: Biology is often organized through hierarchical structures, and big human organizations (ex. company) usually do that too. The question of whether I need to follow hierarchy is somewhat loaded. Pragmatically, theoretically, methodically, or ethically? Pragmatically, most of the times. Theoretically, I find it a good way to organize things. Methodically, yes. Ethically, difficult to say, but most likely yes according to a consequentialist perspective. (I find that following it tended to yield better outcomes.) Follow in what way?
Perform impersonal activity according to the structure? Yes. Being entirely trusting of the hierarchy to the point of being unable to question the fundamental theory behind it? Absolutely not. Being brainwashed and having your superior overstep your boundary? No.

**4. What is classification? How does classification work? Why is it needed and where is it applied? Give examples.**

Classification is to sort things into broader categories. It works by considering the characteristics of things and then put them into different categories based on similarities and differences. It is fundamental to our understanding of (concrete and abstract) objects. (All of these things are red, these are mammals.) It is everywhere, actually. What I am laying on is a bed which is a furniture—classification. The font of my letter is Arial—classification.

**5. Are your ideas consistent? How do you know they are consistent? How do you spot inconsistency in others' ideas?**

More than other people I find, but I can be occasionally inconsistent as well. It is human to err, after all (the idea behind cognitive dissonance). I know that they are consistent because there isn’t any contradictio, in myself or in others.

**Meta-analysis:** Interesting section (about Ti), not sure what people can tell from my answers. Overall, I find myself to be logical and consistent, and I enjoy spotting inconsistency in people as well. In fact, most people and tests type me LSI. However, I can have a bit of imposter syndrome about logic and judgement here and there, leading me to question whether I am indeed Ti base.

Section 3

**1. Can you press people? What methods do you use? How does it happen?**

Does this question mean aggravating people or pushing/pressuring people? Based on other questions I would go with the second interpretations. I am certainly able to, but I am not the most comfortable doing so (not the most uncomfortable either, especially if it is a closer relationship). When I do need to press people, I would usually do it impersonally, resort to rational arguments (talk about evidence and consequence). (Example, If I want to pressure my partner to workout more and do better with skincare, I will tell them the consequences of not doing it and how to do them correctly.)

**2. How do you get what you want? What do you do if you have to work to get what you want?**

I actually plan and work to get what I want most of the times. (Ex. I hope to become financially comfortable and socially secure, therefore I planned ahead several years to go to the right school to study the right things, and then take on the right job.) I am skeptical of my ability to be cunning with opportunities, and am risk-adverse as to the consequence of things going wrong in these cases.(Ex. Therefore I am hesitant with starting businesses.)

**3. How do you deal with opposition? What methods do you use to defend your interests?**

What kind of opposition? Intellectually I am extremely adamant if I see my argument as better (logically and factually) but can quickly agree with the other if the opposite is true. I use simply logical argument and evidence. Physically/fights I am very cautious. My method is avoiding them 90% of the times. (Main reason is probably like if fights are involved, your opponent is probably not rational and will make the consequence difficult for both of you.)

**4. When do you think it's ok to occupy someone's space? Do you recognize it?** What does space mean here?

I will take it to mean actual physical space (being too close to people etc.). I don’t occupy people's space much. I don’t think that it is okay to occupy someone’s space in most cases. The exceptions that I can think of is when it is unclear how much space each person has, but then that would violate the question which specifies that the space belongs to someone else. However, I may do it out of jest with 1-2 closest to me.

**5. Do others think you are a strong-willed person? Do you think you have a strong will?**

Growing up, people have consistently told me that I am like this. I am inclined to agree, as I can be adamant about things (mainly arguments and unfair settlements). However, I would also think that I am cautious and at times reserved/shy enough to not be considered “aggressively strong willed”.

**Meta-analysis:** Question 4 can be quite difficult to answer to me, as I am unsure exactly count as occupying people’s space. I also had to go with interpretation of what the question means a lot in this section. Overall, I can be aggressive and strong-willed in certain ways, but not very much in other ways. (One way I can think of where I am not aggressive and strong-willed is actually sexual dynamics. I can be quite compliant, more so than my (EII/IEI?) partner.

Section 4

**1. How do you satisfy your physical senses? What examples can you give? What physical experiences are you drawn to?**

I listen to music, eat food that I like, and stay in a pleasant environment. Sight, sound, and smell: There is a general theme of sleekness and clearness that I have always gravitated towards. I really enjoy seeing clean, modern architecture and interior designs. I enjoy clean smelling fragrance like lemon. I enjoy upbeat music with clean beat pattern (think clean electronic pop), and I always like to have them on the background. Taste: I like spicy food and soda/iced tea, but I doubt that this is really type-related. Touch: This one isn’t that important to me, but I do like fluffy and soft things (like many people).

**2. How do you find harmony with your environment? How do you build a harmonious environment? What happens if this harmony is disturbed?**

I don’t think about the concept harmony much when it comes to the environment. But I would say that I usually just prefer limited and controlled stimulus in a clean and sleek environment. If I cannot achieve this type of environment, I am rather irritable at first, but will get used to it eventually.

**3. What does comfort mean to you? How do you create it?**

Same as the above question, limited and controlled stimulus in a clean and sleek environment.

**4. How do you express yourself in your hobbies? How do you engage yourself with those things?**

Express myself is also not how I think about when it comes to hobbies. I usually just got interested for different reasons (natural gift, pragmatic reasons, being impressed by someone else’s competence etc.) and decided to get into them. I would do my hobbies quite consistently but also occasionally when I do have time. I also grew out (usually takes a few years) quite a lot of my hobbies in my life. (I used to enjoy art and music theatre way more as a child.)

**5. Tell us how you'd design any room, house or an office. Do you do it yourself, or trust someone else to do it? Why?**

I do it myself if I have the time. I enjoy minimalist clean designs, and it would be too financially absurd to hire people for picking out a set of simple furniture. I used to be more interested in designing (interior and fashion), but I don’t think that I have any particular talent (I would rate myself 6/10) in the sense that I don’t think that my design would sell either.

**Meta-analysis:** This section seems straightforward, but I also don’t relate to many words used in questions. Overall, my preference in physical sensation and environment is very clear: I do not need extra or unique, but I am very nitpicky about my environment being clean and sleek (think generic minimalist design/apple store-esque).

Section 5

**1. Is it acceptable to express emotions in public? Give examples of inappropriate expression of emotions.**

I would say that emotions consistent with social atmosphere is the most appropriate and definitely allowed. Inappropriate of emotion will be things like crying in your little brother’s birthday party or strong anger at a restaurant. At times emotions are hard to control, and this is understandable. I have certainly had a couple of (unfortunate) public breakdowns due to stress. However, they are still impactful (or public environment and even your social status), therefore it is always a good idea to be more controlled.

**2. How do you express your emotions? Can you tell how your expressions affect others in a positive or negative way?**

I am generally speaking polite (I usually have on a neutral face or a very slight smile). The reason for this is that I am not extremely well-adjusted to making my emotional expressive well-received. (In other words, I am not the most charismatic.) I can also be consistently slightly annoyed, so affecting people negatively. Occasionally I am unable to control my emotions and will burst out with anger or even tears. This certainly isn’t wouldn’t affect people positively. For the good parts, I am quite humorous, amused, and “mockingly expressive” with close friends, and they seem to like it.

**3. Are you able to change your demeanor in order to interact with your environment in a more or less suitable way? How do you determine what is suitable?**

I would say yes, but only to a certain extent. The safest way is to act more emotionally neutral, even if you aren’t. I would also tone down my jesting mockery when I am with more “sensitive” people. Very occasionally I would appear more angry to intimidate. (However, I wouldn’t be able to act like a completely different person for validation, for example.) To determine what is suitable, I would consider social norms. When unsure, be more neutral.

**4. In what situations do you feel others' feelings? Can you give examples of when you wanted to improve the mood of others?**

I simply don't feel other people's feelings. I almost don’t have any emotional empathy (but have pretty decent cognitive one). I do want to cheer people up when they need it. I usually either make the situation more humorous or try to analyze and intellectualize with the person.

**5. How do others' emotions affect you? How does your internal emotional state correlate or contrast with what you express?**

I am not affected mostly, but occasionally I am annoyed when they try to make it my responsibility. (My mother is a big example of that, she has the tendency to be overly anxious and asks others to solve it.) I would say that I generally speaking cannot hide my emotions too well. I can hide it behind the much milder version of my emotions or lack of emotions. But generally speaking my internal emotions are more intense, except for mental breakdowns.

**Meta-analysis:** Don’t have too much comment about it, as I am slightly unsure. I would say that I am definitely not inexpressive (I can still show a range of emotions like a normal person), but not expressive with great skills, or overly expressive.

Section 6

**1. How can you tell how much emotional space there is between yourself and others? How can you affect this space?**

It is slightly hard for me, but not impossible. I am quite unsure (and skeptical) whether someone likes me or dislikes me at the beginning. However, after a while, I will be able to tell from the frequency and depth of our conversations. To affect this space, I also just increase/reduce the frequency/depth.

**2. How do you determine how much you like or dislike someone else? How does this affect your relationships?**

The biggest factor for me to like someone is whether we can have meaningful conversations. If we are able to talk about things in depth and have interesting analysis, I usually like you. Another thing is whether they like me or not, as I am inclined to like people who like me. Lastly, at least a little bit of easygoingness, and the more the better. (I am not easygoing at all, but I would pass my own test.) My criteria for disliking people is not the opposites of my criteria for liking people. (I tended to be neutral about them.) I dislike several traits: self-centeredness and self-absorption, manipulation, erraticness, and stubborn illogicality.

**3. How do you move from a distant relationship to a close one? What are the distinguishing characteristics of a close relationship?**

The biggest indicator is effort to me. I am a believer that if two people are close to each other, they will make an effort to sustain this relationship. Mutual understanding is another big thing for me.

**4. How do you know that you are a moral person? Where do you draw your morality from? Do you believe others should share your beliefs on what's moral? Why?**

Theoretically if you can follow closely the correct conducts of a reasonable moral theory, you are a moral person in my eyes. Granted reasonableness is difficult to determine in this case, but I use it rather loosely to mean a theory that can be intuitively and logically argued. (That is, excluding arbitrary theories like “whatever I do is moral”.) Firstly I do not consider myself a moral person: I consider myself neutral, and I am content with it. The reason is that I do not consider following moral conduct to be of highest priority for me. However, I do consider myself a naturally fair and just person (which can be about morality, but I never really directly correlate these two). I would believe that my definition on what is moral is indeed meant to be applicable to most people. However, there are plenty of people more well-versed in moral theories, and therefore contradicting beliefs are very welcomed.

**5. Someone you care about is acting distant to you. How do you know when this attitude is a reflection of your relationship?**

I actually do not know immediately by instinct, therefore I usually ask (if it is romantic) or temporarily let it slide and see what happens (if it is platonic). (Ex. I had two friends who probably did not value our friendship much. One took me around half a year of observation and talking to find out, another one took me several years, with both ones I had a mutual friends helping me analyze.)

**Meta-analysis:** Generally speaking, I am not exactly pro at figuring out closeness (I may look very nonchalant with platonic and overly anxious with budding romantic relationship). However, I am consistent, so with time I have a couple of really close friends and a partner.

Section 7

**1. How can you tell someone has the potential to be a successful person? What qualities make a successful person and why?**

Enough intelligence, drive and discipline, and frankly a good record. I I find it to mainly be the combinations of (doesn’t necessarily need to have all) goal-orientedness, discipline, intelligence (including social intelligence), risk-tolerance, resources, and some good old luck.

**2. Where would you start when looking for a new hobby? How do you find new opportunities and how do you choose which would be best?**

I start with looking at the list of all hobbies, and then I narrow down further and further.
For opportunities, I do my research and decide based on different factors. (Ex. Suppose that I suddenly want to change career. I would do my research, likely online. I would research different jobs descriptions, salary, people’s comments, potential downsides, potential upsides, social environment etc. And the best would be the best combo, depending on my specific needs)

**3. How do you interpret the following statement: "Ideas don't need to be feasible in order to be worthwhile." Do you agree or disagree, and why?**

Kinda, but also depends on what the specific idea is about (and how we define feasibility). Some ideas are worthwhile but they may not be oriented towards practice (certain philosophical ideas are this way, for example) but instead are oriented towards understanding. I find all ideas aiding our understanding to be worthwhile. (As I said, depending on the definition of feasibility, this can be interpreted as feasible/infeasible). But I do not find nonsensical ideas worthwhile, especially if it is targeted at goals where you can easily find a more feasible idea.

**4. Describe your thought process when relating the following ideas: swimming, chicken, sciences. Do you think that others would draw the same or different connections?**

I thought of a chicken that can swim when I saw the first two words, and then paused a second and thought: swimming chicken and science, well I guess that is a topic in science. I have no idea what others will think.

**5. How would you summarize the qualities that are essential to who you are?

What kind of potential in you has yet to be actualized and why?** Analytical, goal-oriented, and a critical thinker. These are the traits that has always been present in me. When it comes to potential, I will say that I am probably going to make a decent scholar in the future (even though I am not in this track rn), and it is based on my existing traits.

**Meta-analysis:** I didn't know there were so many sections! I think for question four I had an intense imagery response, like I could feel the sensations while recalling them.

Section 8

**1. How do people change? Can you describe how various events change people? Can others see those changes?**

Frankly I am of the view that people rarely change in essence after adulthood. However, outside behaviours can change because of events influencing and changing in environment, for good and bad. (Example: A person who is essentially a

**2. How do you feel and experience time? Can time be wasted? How?** (Note: this is not a philosophical view on time, but merely a subjective pov)

I see time as resources, and like other resources it can be wasted. Spending more time on a task than optimal is wasting time to me. I actually am mindful of when milestones are happening, and I do not like to be late to do things that I will need to do. (Ex. I do not like to join the workforce late, for example. )

**3. Is there anything that cannot be described with words? What is it? If so, how can we understand what it is if language does not work?**

We can try to describe everything in words, as words are inventions themselves and we can always invent more to fit the object. However, there are certain things that are much more difficult than others. (Cannot recall any great examples) I believe that we should strive to have a standardised way of describing things in words to be honest, and I am generally good at putting things into words.

**4. How do you anticipate events unfolding? How can you observe such unfoldments in your environment?**

I would think yes, and it is usually based on my pattern recognition (having known similar events or just any data that I can work with.)

**5. In what situations is timing important? How do you know the time is right to act? How do you feel about waiting for the right moment?**

Timing is important when you are doing something that requires good timing (lol). (Ex. If you want to invest in real estate, you need to be mindful of market trends.) I guess you should think about similar situations in the past, look at what is going on now, and try to predict the future to tell. I think that there may be an optimal moment, but I am too skeptical of my ability to know exactly when it is, so I usually think about it and go for a good enough moment (as soon as possible too to avoid overthinking too much). After all, not acting is worse than suboptimal acting in this case.

**Meta-analysis:** A bit hesitant with this section, not sure how to describe succinctly.

Hello! I need your help to find my socionics type and I answered these questions so you can have a clearer impression of me. Thank you and have a great day/night!

##Section 1

1. How do you work? Why do people go to work? Are there any parameters that determine whether you can do work or not? What are they?

I work while thinking about my goal and the possible outcome, it is my motivation to do something (and I enjoy having something to do). I usually do my work according to priority. I follow the general rules and deadlines, but I don't mind changing the procedure if it's not working. When determining whether I can work or not, I think about my skills and capability (or if I can learn it or not). It's useless to force yourself to work if you have no skills to do it, there will be no result.

Most people work because of money and survival. But personally, I do work because of money and I want to achieve something.

2. How do you determine the quality of work? How do you determine the quality of a purchase? Do you pay any attention to it?

I determine the quality of work by it's correctness and if it's relevant to the target. A good and proper presentation is a plus point. It is roughly the same when I judge the quality of a purchase, it has to be useful and durable (while considering the price too). I pay attention to it, but not much. As long as it's good enough and yield results I want, I'm fine with it.

3. There is a professional next to you. How do you know they are a professional? How do you evaluate their skill?

Someone is a professional because they truly know about a topic. Not only in theory, but they also know how to apply that theory in practice. They also knew how to use their skills to solve a new problem, not only implementing it in a 'safe bubble'.

4. If you struggle to do something, how do you fix that? Do you know if your performance is better or worse than others?

I learned and studied harder. Possibly find some tricks or shortcuts that I can use to make it easier. I usually measure my performance based on scores/ratings, feedbacks, and the amount of output I'm able to produce. So I know when I'm ahead or fall behind.

5. How do you measure the success of a job? What standard do you use? Do you pay attention to it? When should you deviate from this standard?

A job is successful if it's able to solve the problem or reach the target. In my case, I'm actually a university student, so I use scores as an indicator of my performance. I only deviate from this standard when the scoring system is illogical (for example, the longer you write, the higher your score is). If that's the case, the 'objective' standard (score) is no longer applicable.

Meta-analysis:

This is the first section, so I have a good time answering it and the question itself didn't pose significant difficulties for me.

##Section 2

1. What is a whole? Can you identify its parts? Are the parts equivalent to the whole?

A whole is something that is complete and not lacking any necessary parts. So that means that a part isn't equivalent to a whole. Depending on the subject, I can identify the parts.

2. What does "logical" mean? What is your understanding? Do you think that it correlates with the common view? How do you know you are being logical?

Logical means objectivity. Being logical means that you are doing something based on tangible proof (reliable source and data), and that you have a straight line of reasoning. I know that I'm being logical when I can explain my reasoning with proof and existing theories.

3. What is hierarchy? Give examples of hierarchies. Do you need to follow it? Why or why not? Explain how hierarchy is used in a system you are familiar with.

Hierarchy is an order of rank. Examples of hierarchy include organizational structure. It is better to follow it to ensure order because a system can't operate optimally without knowing each person's position and responsibilities. A hierarchy would also ensure there will be a more controlled way of decision-making.

4. What is classification? How does classification work? Why is it needed and where is it applied? Give examples.

Classification is a way to organize something according to their characteristics. It is needed to ensure ease in studying each item, solving related problems, etc. One example is animal classification, without it, it will be overwhelming to remember characteristics of each animal or conduct research for each one of them.

5. Are your ideas consistent? How do you know they are consistent? How do you spot inconsistency in others' ideas?

Maybe. I don't mind changing my idea if there's a big mistake, but generally, I tried to keep the theme consistent. I spot inconsistency in others' ideas by looking for contradictions based on what I have seen in real life.

Meta-analysis:

This section is quite difficult for me to answer, I mean, I don't put my full attention in this topic in my real life so I find it hard.

##Section 3

1. Can you press people? What methods do you use? How does it happen?

In some situations, yes. I usually persuade people by using shared experience or tangible proof. One example is when there was an assignment where my team had to create an app. I push my idea by making them see and relate to the problem which my idea can solve.

2. How do you get what you want? What do you do if you have to work to get what you want?

I get what I want by accomplishing tasks and goals related to it. Of course I have to work for it, but what matters is if there's a shortcut I can use or not.

3. How do you deal with opposition? What methods do you use to defend your interests?

I deal with opposition by understanding their viewpoints and see if there's a fault I can utilize. I will defend my point by providing them with my reasoning and proof.

4. When do you think it's ok to occupy someone's space? Do you recognize it?

If it means personal space, as long as it's harmless and the other person isn't disturbed. But if it means physical space like seats, etc, there are some situations that permit you to do it.

5. Do others think you are a strong-willed person? Do you think you have a strong will?

Yes, almost everyone who knows me will probably say that I'm a strong-willed person. I think so too, but I'm willing to step down if a task/work won't yield me any benefit.

Meta-analysis:

The questions are quite interesting. I was confused by the fourth question, because it is too general.

##Section 4

1. How do you satisfy your physical senses? What examples can you give? What physical experiences are you drawn to?

I eat, exercise, listen to music, dance, and wear cool clothes that suit my aesthetic. I like my body to feel full of energy, and I don't mind extra dopamine from exercising.

2. How do you find harmony with your environment? How do you build a harmonious environment? What happens if this harmony is disturbed?

I will clean and organize things when necessary. Talking with my close ones also feels good. If the harmony is disturbed I'll feel quite uncomfortable because my life feels unbalanced.

3. What does comfort mean to you? How do you create it?

Comfort means that my environment is clean and organized, my body feels great, and I don't have to worry about resources (money, food, etc). I create comfort by trying not to make too much mess, eat in moderation, exercise, and find a way to gain more money.

4. How do you express yourself in your hobbies? How do you engage yourself with those things?

Depends on the activity. When I exercise, I'm focused. When I dance, I generally follow the beat and didn't think about techniques, I just move the way I want to. When I do other things, I'm usually serious (can be playful at times).

5. Tell us how you'd design any room, house or an office. Do you do it yourself, or trust someone else to do it? Why?

I have a general idea about my dream room. I know what style I like and how I will use the room. But I won't design it myself, I'd let people design it for me according to my taste.

##Section 5

1. Is it acceptable to express emotions in public? Give examples of inappropriate expressions of emotions.

Yes, if it's joy and excitement. In some cases, anger needs to be expressed. Other than that, express it in private. Example of inappropriate expressions of emotions is crying in public because you can't get something you want. Another example is laughing in an emergency situation (it is okay to think it is funny, but laughing at it will make you look bad in front of others).

2. How do you express your emotions? Can you tell how your expressions affect others in a positive or negative way?

I didn't express my emotions except for joy and irritation. I laugh loudly, and I won't hesitate to argue if I'm angered. For sadness, some people might be able to see if I'm sad, but I won't tell them how I feel. There are positive and negative effects. The positive is I'm more level headed than others. The negative, I have an emotional constipation (I joked about this with my friends) and my close people complain that I never trust them with these kinds of things.

3. Are you able to change your demeanor in order to interact with your environment in a more or less suitable way? How do you determine what is suitable?

In some way, yes. I tried to alter my body language to suit the atmosphere and change my way of talking to suit the audience. I determine what is suitable by seeing how others act and the reactions. I won't change my opinion or personality though.

4. In what situations do you feel others' feelings? Can you give examples of when you wanted to improve the mood of others?

I can feel others' feelings if they are close to me. But I don't know how to handle it sometimes, so I just let them be. Instead, I'll show my support by helping them with their activities, give them a word of encouragement, or patting their shoulder. Don't expect me to be a good listener though, I'm not the best person to do that (not very empathetic I guess). Come to me if you are ready to solve your problem.

5. How do others' emotions affect you? How does your internal emotional state correlate or contrast with what you express?

If they aren't my family, it didn't affect me inside, and it isn't my business (although I'm happy to help them solve their problems). It only affects me if they' choose to use me as their punching bag, and I will state my boundary. But if it's related to my family, I'd feel it inside (although I won't admit it). Sometimes I'd feel guilty because I'm unable to help them, especially if I unknowingly hurt them.

My internal state doesn't differ much with what I express. Sure, I had to hold back sometimes because emotional expression isn't always good, but the gap isn't large. When I'm happy, I laugh loudly. When I'm angry, I will express it if necessary. But I try not to express too much sadness or stress.

##Section 6

1. How can you tell how much emotional space there is between yourself and others? How can you affect this space?

I know it by assessing how much a person is willing to share things with me. Are they willing to share their secrets or their deepest fear with me, etc. I can affect this space by my reactions to their stories and how I remember their triggers.

2. How do you determine how much you like or dislike someone else? How does this affect your relationships?

I never fall in love, so I assume that this is about friendships. I determine how much I like or dislike someone else by seeing if they respect my boundaries and if I can trust them enough to tell them certain things about me. Additionally, I like someone who is willing to improve themselves instead of getting jealous of others. I want a person who can achieve things together with me.

3. How do you move from a distant relationship to a close one? What are the distinguishing characteristics of a close relationship?

I consider someone is close to me when I can talk to them about my problems and my struggles. When someone's close to me, I also feel like I'm not wasting time interacting with them.

4. How do you know that you are a moral person? Where do you draw your morality from? Do you believe others should share your beliefs on what's moral? Why?

I know that I'm a moral person when I don't have a legal problem, I never do something that can tarnish my reputation. I draw my morality from external standards like the Bible, my country's law, and what my parents teach me (to some extent). I think people should share my beliefs about what's moral, they don't have to follow everything, but as my standard is based on external sources, I think they have to follow it somehow.

5. Someone you care about is acting distant to you. How do you know when this attitude is a reflection of your relationship?

They have to tell me about their problem, and we will solve it together. If they choose to be distant without telling me, well, don't expect me to understand. Of course, if I know that I did something wrong, I will apologize to them first. Otherwise, I can't do anything. I mostly don't have time for it anyway, I'm attached to my projects.

##Section 7

1. How can you tell someone has the potential to be a successful person? What qualities make a successful person and why?

I know someone is going to be successful when they exhibit creativity, critical thinking, good public speaking, have wide (and relevant) connections, achieved a lot, willing to work hard, and is self-motivated. These qualities make a successful person because creativity and critical thinking can generate great ideas, and public speaking ensures that you can showcase your ideas. If you have the connection, you will have an easier time making your idea come true. A lot of achievements will make you seem more credible. Willingness to work hard and being self-motivated is important to make sure you can develop your idea without giving up.

2. Where would you start when looking for a new hobby? How do you find new opportunities and how do you choose which would be best?

I would look at the benefits. Actually, I'm looking to learn martial arts, so I have to find out the pros and cons of each style. Then I will decide based on my capabilities.

I find new opportunities by searching from various sources. For example, social media. I choose the best one based on what I will gain in the end and how it can help me to achieve my goal. For example, my goal is to work as a data analyst, data scientist, or machine learning engineer. I will find courses, competitions, projects, etc that can improve my skills and enhance my resume.

3. How do you interpret the following statement: "Ideas don't need to be feasible in order to be worthwhile." Do you agree or disagree, and why?

No, I disagree. If an idea isn't feasible in some way then it's worthless. No matter how good my ideas are, it'll be unknown if I don't take action and make it useful, hence it needs to be feasible.

4. Describe your thought process when relating the following ideas: swimming, chicken, sciences. Do you think that others would draw the same or different connections?

Chicken can't swim for long although they are similar to ducks that live in water. They are from the same class, but they have different characteristics. I think some people would draw the same connection.

5. How would you summarize the qualities that are essential to who you are? What kind of potential in you has yet to be actualized and why?

I'm strong-willed, ambitious, disciplined, firm, and can learn something quite fast. Based on my experience, I think I have a potential to be good at public speaking if I let go my fear of mistakes. I said this because my teachers and lecturers said that my public speaking isn't bad compared to my peers, but internally, I'm still nervous so I can't bring out my full potential. If I can master it, it'll be beneficial for me in the long run.

Meta-analysis:

This section is easier compared to previous sections. Finally I don't have to fight a headache answering the questions hahaha

##Section 8

1. How do people change? Can you describe how various events change people? Can others see those changes?

People change by going through difficult times or a certain experience that opens up another perspective. They change in terms of personality, physically, and even their way of thinking might change. Not everyone can see those changes though.

2. How do you feel and experience time? Can time be wasted? How?

I experience time as a limited commodity, and it can be wasted. For me, wasting my time means that I'm doing something that is useless and has no benefit for me. I want to use my time as best as I can so I don't regret it later.

3. Is there anything that cannot be described with words? What is it? If so, how can we understand what it is if language does not work?

Intuition, vibes, anomalies.

4. How do you anticipate events unfolding? How can you observe such unfoldments in your environment?

I anticipate events from past experiences and patterns I have seen. I generally see if there's something similar to what I experienced in the past and what I have heard from other people.

5. In what situations is timing important? How do you know the time is right to act? How do you feel about waiting for the right moment?

Timing is important when there's an opportunity. A good opportunity can be wasted when not acted upon fast. I can handle waiting for the right moment, but sometimes the right moment is when you start, so I generally don't want to wait too long.

Meta-analysis:

Question 3 and 4 had me thinking for a second, it is quite hard to answer at first.

Section 1:

1.     I work because, quite frankly, what else is there to do on this hunk of
rock in space? Obviously, one could choose not to work, but at that point you
would be depriving others of whatever value you bring to the table. I would say
that there are people who go to work because of money, and maybe even because
they think they must. Or they may be genuinely interested in what they are
doing. Work, as defined by Meriam Webster, is the ability “to perform or carry
through a task requiring sustained effort or continuous repeated operations”.
This has connotations related to cyclical processes and volition so those who
are low on Se and Te and Si may have a difficult time sustaining cyclical,
undifferentiating work patterns.

2.     They quality of someone’s work, in my opinion, can be judged by how
well it met the criteria for completion, or by the quality of the craftsmanship
evident in the materials that comprise the object. I do pay attention to the
quality of an idea, or a given output of work by how well it suits my need and
if it does so in the most optimal fashion.

3.     Honestly, I don’t count many people as “true” professionals. If it is
merely an amount of time that someone has spent in a particular field that
indicates the extent of their knowledge and skill, then obviously striking up a
conversation and gauging their knowledge on the subject at hand would be the
most straight forward approach. If they are dressed very well and put together,
then they could at least be perceived as caring for the work they are doing.
But I must stress that appearances alone do not make a professional. There must
be merited knowledge, and an excellent value proposition to boot.

4.     If I struggle to do something, I way the pros and cons of whether I
should develop the skills necessary to complete the task or outsource it to
someone else. I almost always keep tabs on my performance for the things that
matter to me the most. Typically, I wish to be at the top of my class in all my
areas of study (I am currently in college studying international business) and
I use the metrics derived from my peers to evaluate my performance. I also go
to my peers when their methods are working better than my own and I “pick their
brain” for best practices.

5.     Meta Analysis: Overall, these questions are quite close to what I am thinking
about most of the time. I wish to develop myself and become the best I can be
in the areas of performance optimization and applied knowledge/systems thinking.

Section 2:

1.     This is a very pertinent question that I have been working on answering and one
that I have been learning quite a bit about. Currently, I am reading through a
book called “Systems Thinking” by H. William Dettmer and he describes a hole as
the summation of interactions between the parts that make up the whole.
Typically, I can identify and analyze the parts of a whole. However, just
because a whole is made up of parts does not mean that the whole can be defined
by the parts alone.

2.     Logical reasoning is basically making judgments based off correct premises and
making sure that the conclusions that are reached do not contradict the
premises that they were initially founded upon. I know I am being logical when
I can make judgements based off reasoning that does not involve immediate
impressions that may taint my judgment. Taking a step back to think about the
situation, maybe consult a few trusted people, and returning to make a decision
is a good description of my process.

3.     A hierarchy is a linkage of people or things that indicate either importance or
authority. Typically, I have no issue with hierarchies because no matter which
one I am operating in I always seem to get handed responsibility (even if I
don’t want it) because I am just typically very capable and I always set myself
towards growth and development.

4.     Classification is the grouping of similar things for easier identification. It
can be used to streamline pattern recognition or in the very least organize
data/ideas. The taxonomic tree is a good example of a classification system.

5.     I have been debating about the efficacy of “the ends justify the means” and I
honestly think that people who are needlessly pushy use it as a statement to
justify the inconsistency of their actions with principle. You can absolutely
tailor your methods and be pushy. But by no means should you change the
foundational principles that you are working from. I typically see my coworkers
doing this the most and it bugs me sometimes. I sometimes must meta think my
way around them to get them to do what I want without them going ape-brain ADHD
mode and wreaking unnecessary havoc when they go 2 seconds without some
external stimuli.

6.     Meta Analysis: I know this paragraph is probably about Ti and I’d say it wasn’t
challenging to write about. But I did legitimately go downstairs and wonder if
this article was necessary for me to write or if there was a more productive
thing for me to do today. Alas, I find it pertinent to get my typing situation
out of the way, so I’ll do some chores/reading and come back to the next
section rejuvenated.

Section 3:

1.     I currently have a summertime job as a salesperson at a fragrance store. I
somehow managed to get into it before all the 12-year-olds on TikTok started
foaming at the mouth for a chance to smell Versace Eros only to leave in a
dejected fashion after I showed them the price of a bottle. My sales numbers
are good for only working two days a week (just need some pocket change for
various sundries between semesters) and pushing people is not something I am
extremely versed in. I close deals absolutely, but it’s a very fine-tuned
process. I do my best to show force, and it’s there, but often I appeal to
logos and a chunk-o-charisma to get my sales more than saying “Shut up, this
smells awesome, I love it, by it know OR ELSE.”

2.     Typically, I get what I want through services such as Amazon or Facebook
Marketplace. Jk though I will simply walk up to what/whomever and ask or get
the ball rolling through direct contact. I don’t mind having to work to get
what I want. If it is valuable enough to me, I will put in the hours for
studying or work to acquire that which I desire.

3.     I deal with opposition through taking a detached emotional approach. I deal
with several customers during my shift that “want a deal” and it takes a good
amount of energy to set my pent-up rage aside and deal with them in a polite
manner. I stand firm on policy more often than not and I’ll reiterate the
discounts/promotions as necessary. I’ve never really been bullied, though most
of my friends and those who I seek out could be labeled as conventional
“turbo-nerds”. I say that with the upmost endearment because they are worth
their salt in competence and uniqueness.

4.     I occupy other people’s space in a joking way, like where I’ll be looking over
one of my friend’s shoulders in such a way as to make them feel a presence but
mean absolutely nothing by it. Or I’ll sometimes stare at them in a manic sort
of way and say “muahahahaha” lurking backwards through a door leaving them
quite befuddled.

5.     I think people would deem me as a “strong-willed” person, but I do know how to
have fun. I know people who can be more bull-headed in a pure Se sort of way.
But I would not consider myself to be engaged in that function in as proficient
a manner.

6.     Meta-Analysis: I took a break between sections 3 and 4 and got some chores and
other activities done during the intermission. Feeling a bit more at ease with
the activities out of the way.

Section 4:

1.     I drink lots of caffeine. Typically, I am drawn to leisure activities such as
weightlifting and volleyball.

2.     If I am building a harmonious environment, such as designing my room’s
aesthetic, I’ll look at the elements in my environment, colors, tones, etc. and
move/acquire furniture so that all of it is in accordance with the projected
and desired outcome.

3.     Comfort to me means that when I’m on my death bed I have no regrets nor any
unfulfilled potential. Or from a more day-to-day perspective a good night’s
rest and a cup of coffee. Comfort can also be described as when I am in the
flow of completing my tasks and making my plans for future success. I'm always
working on getting better at these things and I still have lots to learn!

4.     I honestly have no idea. I mean, I like fashion and fragrance, but those are
more utilitarian and expressly for projecting an image. Kind of like a
necessary pleasurable evil. Most of my “hobbies” are means to an end. I don’t
mean to sound uber-rational here, but I don’t really engage in things that
won’t get me anywhere.

5.     In addition to my response for question 2, I would prefer to outsource the
endeavor, but it’s a good challenge for me to take up and helps me grow as a
person and be more self-sufficient.

6.     Meta-Analysis: The "death bed" comment seems a little extreme at
first. But honestly, it's the main finishing point of my life's story, and I
want to make sure that my truest potential is reached and that I can say that I
lived optimally, according to my principles, dictates, and conscious.

Section 5:

1.     I think that emotional displays in public are attention grabbing. I certainly
understand an appeal to pathos, but the only time I would do it is when
something is seriously wrong internally.

2.     Not very well. The only time I express my emotions is to work through a problem
(which can be draining for others) so I do my best to work out things for
myself. On the other hand, sometimes all I need to do to alleviate the problem
is to solve what it is that is bothering me. Typically, the emotion disappears
after that and I don’t have to worry about it.

3.     I am sometimes very worried that my true feelings eek through my put together
demeanor. Like when dealing with unsavory individuals my face might twitch a
bit as I’m trying to maintain a genial disposition.

4.     Rarely if ever. I will see and know when something is off, but I typically
won’t feel anything. I’ll ask because I know that typically helps and I’ll do
my best to sit with someone and help them work through their struggles. But I
won’t necessarily connect with them emotionally.

5.     If someone is hurting, I will feel sympathy but not empathy. I will be sad that
they are hurting but I’ll do my best to take action to help solve the problem.
Or again, sit with them and help them talk through the issues they are facing.

6.     Meta Analysis: The greatest euphoria of emotions that I typically feel is when
I see a hero or someone, I look up to going through a personally correlative
experience. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it really does.

Section 6:

1.     I don’t really know how to answer this question because it’s very rare for me
to feel truly connected to someone else. I yearn for it, but I guess it just
hasn’t ever come about. Typically, I’ve gotten “close” to people through
providing material assets to them, but again that is pretty shallow. I’m still
figuring this out because it is truly one of the main things I need to work on

2.     Now, this is an easier question to answer. My preferences just organically
emanate from my psyche. If the person has correlative beliefs and values to me
then we typically get along well. The main thing is just to make sure we agree
on the baseline stuff, after that, the unique differences are interesting and
make a relationship special.

3.     My last relationship was 4 years ago, still figuring that out tbh.

4.     Well, I base the context for my morality on objective standards (the Bible),
and I would unknowingly derive how “moral” I am from how well I maintain the
law. My morality has been (in the past) a very contractual arrangement. Yet I
know consciously that isn’t the truest form of morality and it’s something I’m
working on.

5.     Well, I would ask clarifying questions to the other party, but I’ve had to
learn context clues over the years to full gauge someone’s distaste of my
presence. Sometimes the other person simply likes their space, and I’ve had
that before with no issue. But other times it’s just weird and I’m not entirely
sure.

6.     Meta-Analysis: It’s honestly difficult to get in touch with myself and it’s
something that is really my responsibility. Most of the time my friends and
family see I’m doing well at school or work, but they don’t see that I’m really
torn up inside. I’ve worked on getting to know myself these past six or so
years but I still have a ways to go.

Section 7:

1.     Success means many different things to many different people. But if someone
were to strike me as odd in a way that could be monopolized upon, I would seek
them out and start a discussion. Most of the successful people that I have met
have been in some way ostracized from their respective communities. So
typically, if I find someone who has leveraged their interests in unique ways
to benefit themselves and others, I would be quick to label them as someone who
can be successful. Whether or not they have the gumption to go out and make a
name for themselves is another matter, however.

2.     Most of the time I find out about things through online resources. I’ll maybe
see a quick flash of an advertisement or a video and bookmark it for later
review. If I have some time to kill, I’ll investigate it and see if the juice
is worth the squeeze.

3.     I agree to the extent of every idea is a thing. Likewise, every image seen in
the mind’s eye is likewise a potential reality. Not every idea can be achieved,
but a lot of them can be. It just depends on the means and the ends as to
whether the idea can be brought about.

4.     Swimming in an ocean and there are animals that reside around water. Birds are
animals that are around water. Ducks are birds and chickens are like land ducks
who don’t like water (probably). All birds have a taxonomical relationship to
one another. I wonder how similar ducks and chickens are? Etc.

5.     Humanitarianism needs to be developed for sure. I can do pretty much anything I
set my mind to, but not everything is for the benefit of all. If I had to give
key words to describe myself, the would be organizational, odd, put together,
seeking development continually, ambitious, and absurd somewhat.

6.     Meta-Analysis: Typically, I really enjoy new ideas and seeing the potential of
doing things differently. I’m always hunting for the latest piece of info that
can give me an edge scholastically or just in my everyday life. I love absurd
humor and things that are esoteric in general.

Section 8:

1.     I ascribe to the notion that Jung proposed where most people are the same
“blueprint” throughout their life but the finer details of their contextual
experience change. Of course, I have not been around very many people who have
been through traumatic experiences so I may revise my view in the future.

2.     I experience time as a sequence of general operations. Depending on what you
are prioritizing time can be wasted. If you prioritize optimum efficiency, then
anything that does not fall within the parameters of your responsibilities and
goals would be a waste. Conversely, if you prioritize comfort, then actively
engaging in needlessly stressful activities would be likewise a waste.

3.     Probably Faith, as per Paul’s words it is the “Belief in things yet unseen”.
Imagery is one thing that can help communicate the more non-dialectic aspects
of life. However, the content of what you are hoping for and the receiver of
your faith needs to be established before anything useful can come about.

4.     It kind of just occurs in my mind. I see something “off in the distance” so to
speak. Sometimes it’s overwhelming, but often it’s a continual impression. The
way that my ex broke up with me was “unknown” to me. But I had the impression
from the slight tonal shift in her texts that she would. Sure enough, I had a
week to prep for the inevitable phone call and it happened. Again, that was
four years ago but those things happen on a macro and micro scale occasionally.

5.     I do sometimes yearn and get impatient for things. But I know that if I wait
for the right time it will be better than rushing in full force. Typically,
humans operate on a long-ish timescale so leveraging small things for better
impact over the long run means less energy is expended and a greater result achieved.

6.     Meta-Analysis: Man, that was a lot of writing lol. Thank you for reading and any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

This questionnaire was quite long and time consuming to answer; so with that being said it will be time consuming to read through it. So any input is greatly appreciated and I look forward to hearing your insights. 

##Section 1

**1. How do you work? **Why do people go to work? 

I would describe my working style as diligent, industrious, with an emphasis on efficiency. I am a team player for productivity’s sake.

Applying the idea of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is a model that explains why we work in good detail. At the lower tiers, many people work to meet their basic physiological and safety needs. As you move up the hierarchies, you’ll also find that there are people who pursue work in search of love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization. It all depends where the person lies within the hierarchy. 

**Are there any parameters that determine whether you can do work or not? What are they?**

Interesting question.. I’d say that answer would vary given the individual. I personally feel that anyone is capable of work unless they have a severe disability, illness, or certain condition that makes them unable to (example: Having to caretake for an ill or disabled family member). 

**2. How do you determine the quality of work? 

Typically through how efficiently the work is completed alongside the level of quality of the output of the work (Little to no errors and executed well).

How do you determine the quality of a purchase? 

You’d have to examine the materials and composition, and how well those materials are able to withstand the purpose of the product. Also the level of craftsmanship. (Example: Buying a purse. How’s the stitching? Is it even? Are there loose threads?). 

Do you pay any attention to it?**

I’ve only started paying attention to it more recently now that I’ve realized I’ve wasted a lot of money on subpar items. It feels like money down the drain; so I’m pushing myself to be more vigilant about it. 

**3. There is a professional next to you. How do you know they are a professional? How do you evaluate their skill?**

I would identify that they are a professional based on their confidence and knowledge level in their field. If they are able to educate others in a meaningful and impactful way and provide a quality service. Also length of experience in their field would be a useful indicator as well. 

**4. If you struggle to do something, how do you fix that? Do you know if your performance is better or worse than others?**

If I struggle to do something, the best thing to do is to do some research on the topic and consult someone who is successful and excelling in the certain thing I’m struggling in. Listen to their advice and try to apply it and actively keep trying until I get it right. 

**5. How do you measure the success of a job? What standard do you use? Do you pay attention to it? When should you deviate from this standard?**

I measure the success of a job based on its salary and the prestige attached to the role. This is just my honest answer and I know it’s not as sweet as I I were to say “What fulfills you and makes you happy etc.” Personally my approach to work is that it’s not always going to be fun, enjoyable, and passionate. You have to work hard, perform and give results. But I will say if you are becoming so burnt out to the point of depression; then it is worth sacrificing some salary and prestige for one’s well-being. 

**Meta-analysis:**

I had a lot of input to add to this section.

##Section 2

**1. What is a whole? 

Entirety and completeness. 

Can you identify its parts? Are the parts equivalent to the whole?**

Yes, it depends on the subject. I would not say parts are equivalent to the whole. Parts make up the whole but they are not equivalent. 

**2. What does "logical" mean? What is your understanding? 

Logic equates to an absolute truth that does not depend on personal feelings, opinions, or beliefs. 

Do you think that it correlates with the common view? How do you know you are being logical?**

No, being logical does not correlate with the common view. You know you are being logical when you are pursuing facts over feelings and emotions.

A good example of this in the sphere of parenthood is “Breast is best” vs “Fed is best” argument. Logically, Breastmilk has been scientifically proven as the best source of nutrition for infants. This is a fact; but it is a statement that many others will disagree with based on personal opinions, feelings, and beliefs.  

**3. What is hierarchy?  

A hierarchy is a system of rankings and levels of people or groups.

Give examples of hierarchies. Do you need to follow it? Why or why not?

An example would be at work, there are hierarchies of employees. You have the employees, supervisors, managers, directors, presidents, etc. Yes you do need to follow it since there needs to be some sort of order in order for things to operate smoothly. 

Explain how hierarchy is used in a system you are familiar with.**

In the Confucian family model, hierarchies are heavily pronounced. It simply goes by age. Elders rank at the top whilst the youngest are at the lower levels and are expected to be subservient and submit to the older ages (higher ranks). 

**4. What is classification? 

Classification is arranging or sorting objects into groups on the basis of common characteristics that they have.

How does classification work? Why is it needed and where is it applied? Give examples.**

Classifications are important to highlight the differences and similarities between objects to better understand them. I guess a relevant example of classification would be Socionic Functions. Informational elements such as Ti, Ni, Fe, etc. 

**5. Are your ideas consistent? How do you know they are consistent? How do you spot inconsistency in others' ideas?**

No they are not. My ideas are not consistent because they are flexible to change if I am proven wrong or I encounter a new situation that could challenge my ideas. 

**Meta-analysis:**

Interesting section of questions. I didn’t care for the questions regarding classifications and ideas. 

##Section 3

**1. Can you press people? What methods do you use? How does it happen?**

Yes I can press people. You just have to poke them with your finger. Jokes aside, in my experience I have pressed people using real life experiences and proven facts to persuade them. 

**2. How do you get what you want? What do you do if you have to work to get what you want?**

I just get up, spring to action and do what I have to do to get what I want. I just make it happen. If I have to work to get what I want; then that’s what I’ll do. Work to get it. 

**3. How do you deal with opposition? What methods do you use to defend your interests?**

I prefer to stick to proven facts and truths to defend my interests; up to a certain extent. If the opposition is too obstinate after many attempts I just write it off as a lost cause and agree to disagree. 

**4. When do you think it's ok to occupy someone's space? Do you recognize it?**

I don’t think it’s ok to occupy someone’s space; unless it’s a closed loved one.

**5. Do others think you are a strong-willed person? Do you think you have a strong will?**

Yes I am a strong willed person and others would think so too. I am a very diligent person and have been commended for my strong sense of commitment and self control; especially when it comes to achieving my goals. Fitness is an example for myself personally. I can stick to a strict diet and exercise and workout regime with more dedication compared to those in my personal circle. 

**Meta-analysis:**

Was a pleasant and straightforward section to answer. 

##Section 4

**1. How do you satisfy your physical senses? What examples can you give? What physical experiences are you drawn to?**

To be quite honest I don’t really know if this is something I really pay that close attention to. 

**2. How do you find harmony with your environment? How do you build a harmonious environment? What happens if this harmony is disturbed?**

I feel like I am mostly oblivious to “harmony” in an environment. I’m more self-absorbed in that way. For example, I attend church with my husband and there are many times there are potlucks. I prefer to leave and don’t care for the group lunches and I’m sure this may disturb the harmony of the group. But I don’t really care tbh or think about it as much as I should?

**3. What does comfort mean to you? How do you create it?**

For me, comfort comes with a nicely organized and clean environment. If there’s one thing that bothers me, it’s physical messes. So I create comfort by ensuring my surroundings are as organized as I can get them. 

**4. How do you express yourself in your hobbies? How do you engage yourself with those things?**

A hobby of mine I enjoy is exercising and hiking. Anything that can challenge my physical fitness and improve my overall health is valued. 

**5. Tell us how you'd design any room, house or an office. Do you do it yourself, or trust someone else to do it? Why?**

Honestly, my house right now looks ok. I have a hard time creating beautiful spaces on my own, I need a lot of inspiration photos and will just imitate it. So there’s not much creativity there for me, it’s something I would definitely trust someone else to do. If I had all the money in the world I would spend it on a personal stylist and interior designer. 

**Meta-analysis:**

I found this section a little more difficult to answer than I expected. 

##Section 5

**1. Is it acceptable to express emotions in public? Give examples of inappropriate expression of emotions.**

Yes it is acceptable to express emotions in public to a certain degree. Examples of inappropriate expressions of overt emotions would be in a professional environment such as at work when you are working alongside colleagues and providing services. Got to keep it professional. 

**2. How do you express your emotions? Can you tell how your expressions affect others in a positive or negative way?**

I feel like I definitely experience emotions internally, but watching some video footage of myself it doesn’t translate as much in my facial expressions or communication as much as I thought it did. For the most part yes I am able to tell how my emotions affect others. 

**3. Are you able to change your demeanor in order to interact with your environment in a more or less suitable way? How do you determine what is suitable?**

Yes I am. I just try to remain reserved and polite. Give others respect and to be well mannered. 

**4. In what situations do you feel others' feelings? Can you give examples of when you wanted to improve the mood of others?**

I mostly can feel what others are feeling when it’s something I’ve been through personally as well. For example, a friend of mine have given birth recently; and without her telling me or saying anything; I could sense that she had postpartum depression. So I messaged her and tried to support her through that. 

**5. How do others' emotions affect you? How does your internal emotional state correlate or contrast with what you express?**

I generally find I am indifferent to other’s emotions unless they are someone I deem close to me. If it’s a close loved one then I can be affected quite intensely. Sometimes I feel like my emotions can feel like they’re exploding inside of me but I don’t really show it as much on the external. 

**Meta-analysis:**

I’m not sure why but some of these questions made me feel uncomfortable. 

##Section 6

**1. How can you tell how much emotional space there is between yourself and others? How can you affect this space?**

Yes, I feel a large emotional space mainly with those I am not close to. But nowadays I do try to challenge myself to become more outgoing and to try to narrow the emotional space of others I meet (for example, a service worker or stranger). 

**2. How do you determine how much you like or dislike someone else? How does this affect your relationships?**

I usually determine this based on how close I feel with a person. When I feel a deep, close and intense connection with someone, I really like them. But, if I feel I don’t have a close emotional connection with someone I am not as inclined to like them as much. I also am repulsed by those who lack a decent sense of basic politeness and mannerisms.

**3. How do you move from a distant relationship to a close one? What are the distinguishing characteristics of a close relationship?**

I personally feel it’s spending time together, having deep, intense, personal conversations with one another where you can be quite vulnerable. 

**4. How do you know that you are a moral person? Where do you draw your morality from? Do you believe others should share your beliefs on what's moral? Why?**

I personally draw my morality from my religion. I am a moral person but also an imperfect person. I do believe others should share my beliefs on what I find moral since under my religion we believe that God’s standard is the best standard. But we as imperfect humans can never reach that perfect standard; which is why we need God’s instruction in our life. My religion calls for us to evangelize others but personally it’s something I am really not comfortable with. 

**5. Someone you care about is acting distant to you. How do you know when this attitude is a reflection of your relationship?**

I know that this is a reflection of the relationship when the distance is completely out of the ordinary of what the regular flow was. If the conversations are waning and the connection doesn’t feel as close and meaningful.

**Meta-analysis:**

I quite liked answering this section. 

##Section 7

**1. How can you tell someone has the potential to be a successful person? What qualities make a successful person and why?**

Yes, the qualities that make a successful person are having a growth mindset, diligence, consistency, showing up and a dedication to keep trying even after failing. Failure is the mother of success and successful people aren’t afraid of failure. 

**2. Where would you start when looking for a new hobby? How do you find new opportunities and how do you choose which would be best?**

Personally when I find the time I have actually been thinking about getting myself into pickleball. It’d be a nice way to get out, be active whilst pursuing a hobby. 

**3. How do you interpret the following statement: "Ideas don't need to be feasible in order to be worthwhile." Do you agree or disagree, and why?**

I tend to disagree with this comment. There needs to be some sort of feasibility if you ask me. 

**4. Describe your thought process when relating the following ideas: swimming, chicken, sciences. Do you think that others would draw the same or different connections?**

I don’t see any connection between the three of them. I guess chicken and sciences? 

**5. How would you summarize the qualities that are essential to who you are? What kind of potential in you has yet to be actualized and why?**

I’m diligent, hard-working, time efficient, industrious, friendly, introverted, and loving. I guess there is potential in me that hasn’t been actualized because of how risk averse I am. But my loving husband is helping me in this area of weakness. 

**Meta-analysis:**

I didn’t mind answering this section that much. 

##Section 8

**1. How do people change? Can you describe how various events change people? Can others see those changes?**

People are evolving and growing every day. Going through struggles and hard times in my personal experience trains people to grow and to become stronger. Sort of like a muscle. You train it regularly and eventually the muscle becomes bigger. It’s a metaphor for how we grow and evolve as people. 

**2. How do you feel and experience time? Can time be wasted? How?**

Yes time can be wasted. To be honest, time has been flying by quite quickly. I am sometimes stuck in the past or the future but recently have been trying to enjoy the present. I like to plan ahead so much that I forget about the present moment. 

**3. Is there anything that cannot be described with words? What is it? If so, how can we understand what it is if language does not work?**

Yes, intuition. It cannot be described with words, it is a deep feeling. Based on the patterns that you have seen and experienced it can stored into your subconscious. Then when certain situations arise all that stored information can tigger your intuition. 

**4. How do you anticipate events unfolding? How can you observe such unfoldments in your environment?**

I guess I have a real world example for this. My husband likes to bite off than he can chew. So the other night he said he was going to go rock climbing with his friend; when I know for a fact that he wasn’t going to be able to make it. I knew how It was going to play out and the next day he thanked me for encouraging him not to take on that extra commitment. 

**5. In what situations is timing important? How do you know the time is right to act? How do you feel about waiting for the right moment?**

Hm I find this question interesting. A real world example would be in real estate where they tell you “You cannot time the market.” But I don’t necessarily agree with that statement entirely. For example, in the city I am living in, I predict that the real estate market will grow quite significantly in the next few years based on the current trends, so I would advise a close loved one to get into the market now before it’s too late and they’re priced out. 

**Meta-analysis:**

Happy to finally be done answering this questionnaire 

Section 1

1. How do you work?

I'm still a student. I study; I don't work.

**Why do people go to work?**

Some people like to work, others want to be rich, but most people don't want to starve to death. Some are forced to work.

**Are there any parameters that determine whether you can do work or not? What are they?**

No, I need to survive school no matter what happens.

**2. How do you determine the quality of work? How do you determine the quality of a purchase?**

I could say with my grades, but I can study hard and still get a bad grade, so I will say with the amount of pages I did.

**Do you pay any attention to it?**

I pay more attention to my grades than the amount of pages I did.

**3. There is a professional next to you. How do you know they are a professional? How do you evaluate their skill?**

This person is a teacher or someone with very good grades.

**4. If you struggle to do something, how do you fix that?**

If it's important, I find a way or another to fix whatever the problem is. I can use different methods or ways to fix it. If it's not important, I won't put any energy into it.

**Do you know if your performance is better or worse than others?**

I know my weak spots and my strong ones, but I don't really pay attention to others.

**5. How do you measure the success of a job? What standard do you use?**

My grades: high grades = success, and low grades = failure.

**Do you pay attention to it?**

I want to succeed in my school year.

**When should you deviate from this standard?**

When there will be no need for good grades to pass my classes, which sadly never will happen.

Section 2

**1. What is a whole?**

Everything without the details.

**Can you identify its parts?**

Yes.

**Are the parts equivalent to the whole?**

No, by looking into one part you miss the rest and don't get to the solution which is equal to the whole.

**2. What does "logical" mean? What is your understanding?**

Something I can understand with not too much effort and that makes sense.

**Do you think that it correlates with the common view?**

Sometimes logic can correlate with the common view but sometimes not.

**How do you know you are being logical?**

When I'm doing math or when I'm thinking.

**3. What is hierarchy?**

A schema of what is prioritized.

**Give examples of hierarchies.**

The chores you will do before doing other chores.

**Do you need to follow it?**

Yes, you should always follow it because you should always do what is most important, but your hierarchies should be adaptable in every situation because in some situations other things become more important and some things less important.

**Why or why not? Explain how hierarchy is used in a system you are familiar with.**

If I prioritize the schoolwork that's not important over the schoolwork that is important, I get bad results.

**4. What is classification?**

It's the same as categorizing.

**How does classification work?**

The amount of work I have, what is more urgent, and what is harder.

**Why is it needed and where is it applied? Give examples.**

When organizing the work I need to do for school.

**5. Are your ideas consistent? How do you know they are consistent?**

It depends on how strongly I believe in the idea. If I don't believe in it, it's not consistent, but if I do, it will be consistent. I see it when comparing the ideas I believe in with those I don't.

**How do you spot inconsistency in others' ideas?**

With the amount of time it stays in their head. Some people stay with the same idea for years and others forget it the next day.

**1. Can you press people?**

I don't press people.

**What methods do you use? How does it happen?**

It doesn't happen. I use no methods.

**2. How do you get what you want? What do you do if you have to work to get what you want?**

I work the amount of work I think is worth it, not more or less.

**3. How do you deal with opposition? What methods do you use to defend your interests?**

I'm most of the time too tired to deal with it, but if I have my own interests I will try to win.

**4. When do you think it's okay to occupy someone's space?**

Whenever the person consents to it.

**Do you recognize it?**

I don't get this question. If this info is important to know, just ask me about it in the comments in a different way, please. I'd be more than happy to answer it.

**5. Do others think you are a strong-willed person? Do you think you have a strong will?**

Yes, I'm lazy but unwilling to back down on my positions. I'm truly ambitious and determined to achieve them.

Section 4

**1. How do you satisfy your physical senses? What examples can you give? What physical experiences are you drawn to?**

To satisfy my senses, I use materials, food, music, and certain styles/aesthetics. The experience goes much deeper than only my senses; it's about how my whole body feels, the hormones, and the excitement I get from it. I'm drawn to everything that will give me a enjoyable feeling or give dopamine or energy.

**2. How do you find harmony with your environment?**

I don't care about my environment.

**How do you build a harmonious environment?**

i'm not focust on building harmony outside of myself

**What happens if this harmony is disturbed?**

It rarely gets any reaction from me, but if it does, it's me being annoyed by loud sounds or being annoyed. (I can enjoy the silence and balance of harmony as much as I can be bored of it.)

**3. What does comfort mean to you? How do you create it?**

As long as I have no problems on my mind I can be comfortable in any kind of situation. Of course, it is a bonus if my senses are stimulated by pleasant things.

**4. How do you express yourself in your hobbies? How do you engage yourself with those things?**

It's not about me expressing something or myself but more about my body expressing itself. I like doing sports and when I'm doing it I let my body, impulses, and instinct take control. I also like to use my physical energy as school uses a lot of my mental energy. I'm balancing it with physical energy. I don't know how it works, balancing the waste of one energy by wasting more of another energy. I think it's weird but it makes me feel good, so I like it.

**5. Tell us how you'd design any room, house, or office.**

In a way that pleases me aesthetically and styled based on my tastes with materials that are soft but also resistant because I often break things accidentally. I also try not to fill the places too much because I like space and try to design in a way I won't have to clean it that often because I hate cleaning. If we are talking about a workspace, I will make sure it's not too aesthetically pleasing so that I can focus on work. I will make sure that the materials used make work easier. I will probably accidentally go over the budget that I have for the design of the rooms because I can have pretty expensive tastes.

**Do you do it yourself,**

Yes.

**or trust someone else to do it? Why?**

Hell no, I don't have the same style as other people and I like thinking of what I like aesthetically for me and decorating things based on my style. I know nobody will do a greater job at it than me, but I will not refuse assistance for measurement or installation, especially with measurement. I don't like to do it so I prefer other people doing it.

Section 5

**1. Is it acceptable to express emotions in public? Give examples of inappropriate expressions of emotions.**

People should be free to express emotions when or where they want without being judged and in the way they want. But they should know their limits. Not everyone is interested in their emotions and for some people, it's annoying. They shouldn't expect people to react the way they wanted; everyone is free to react the way they want too.

**2. How do you express your emotions? Can you tell how your expressions affect others in a positive or negative way?**

With the way I talk and in my jokes, with my body movement and facial expressions.

**3. Are you able to change your demeanor in order to interact with your environment in a more or less suitable way? How do you determine what is suitable?**

No, I'm too blunt and unaware of my environment.

**4. In what situations do you feel others' feelings?**

People often feel things with an intensity different from mine that I don't have. I can feel bad or happy for people but I can't feel exactly what they feel.

**Can you give examples of when you wanted to improve the mood of others?**

When my friends or family members felt sad I wanted to make them happy.

**5. How do others' emotions affect you?**

Not at all.

**How does your internal emotional state correlate or contrast with what you express?**

No idea. I don't focus that much on my internal emotions but just on those surface ones. I don't think I have emotions that go that deep.

Section 6

**1. How can you tell how much emotional space there is between yourself and others? How can you affect this space?**

I don't focus on that much. People sometimes feel closer to me than I feel to them.

**2. How do you determine how much you like or dislike someone else? How does this affect your relationships?**

I don't really determine how much I like or dislike someone. I just like them or not. I don't question my relationships with people; I just enjoy them or not.

**3. How do you move from a distant relationship to a close one? What are the distinguishing characteristics of a close relationship?**

It's the hard work and patience of the other person that really makes the relationship work.

**4. How do you know that you are a moral person?**

When my intentions are for the best (wanting to help people or do what is just).

**Where do you draw your morality from?**

Religion, family, and what I believe is right and wrong and just.

**Do you believe others should share your beliefs on what's moral? Why?**

No, but we should find a common base to have a society for everyone that is healthy to live in.

**5. Someone you care about is acting distant to you. How do you know when this attitude is a reflection of your relationship?**

I would not notice it and if I do, I will just believe that person needs more time.

Section 7

**1. How can you tell someone has the potential to be a successful person? What qualities make a successful person and why?**

I don't notice people's potential or talents.

**2. Where would you start when looking for a new hobby?**

A new sport.

**How do you find new opportunities and how do you choose which would be best?**

I don't know, probably take whatever I would want to take before me.

**3. How do you interpret the following statement: "Ideas don't need to be feasible in order to be worthwhile." Do you agree or disagree, and why?**

You can just enjoy the idea in your head without the need of it becoming real or realistic.

**4. Describe your thought process when relating the following ideas: swimming, chicken, sciences.**

Swimming: Imagine swimming in an indoor pool.

Chicken: Think of chickens in a farm with their little chicken houses where they eat and lay eggs.

Sciences: Scientists experimenting with chemical substances in a laboratory.

**Do you think that others would draw the same or different connections?**

I don't know.

**5. How would you summarize the qualities that are essential to who you are?**

The ones I have and will help me become successful.

**What kind of potential in you has yet to be actualized and why?**

I don't know yet my full potential, but I'm planning on discovering it.

Section 8

**1. How do people change?**

I don't often notice it.

**Can you describe how various events change people?**

No.

**Can others see those changes?**

I don't know.

**2. How do you feel and experience time? Can time be wasted? How?**

I don't notice time that much but as long as you made progress, I don't believe your time is wasted. In case of no progress, yes, time has been wasted but you can win it back with more progress. Sometimes rest is needed to make that extra progress.

**3. Is there anything that cannot be described with words? What is it?**

Everything that contradicts itself but somewhat still makes sense or works.

**If so, how can we understand what it is if language does not work?**

I'm sure some people understand it but I don't know how.

**4. How do you anticipate events unfolding?**

I don't.

**How can you observe such unfoldments in your environment?**

I don't observe my environment.

**5. In what situations is timing important?**

Yes, but I never have the right timing.

**How do you know the time is right to act?**

I don't know.

**How do you feel about waiting for the right moment?**

I don't like it and I often get distracted doing that. I'm too impatient and have the need for immediate gratification.

I spent a few hours off and on for this questionnaire. I didn't expect it to be so long, haha. Let me know if I need to add any more things, I know other posters have a lot more than I do.

At the end of each section, give a meta-analysis of your experience answering it. Consider: Did some questions make you feel strained or at ease? Were the questions straightforward or did your mind go blank at any point? Were you confused at any point? Did any questions make you lose interest and want to stop? Were there any questions you had to edit down because you wrote _too_ much?

Section 1

**1. How do you work? Why do people go to work? Are there any parameters that determine whether you can do work or not? What are they?**

I usually just... do it. If something needs to be done just get it out of the way. People go to work for money, which they use to get basic needs. Parameters depend on the type of work. Like, you'd need training to be a doctor (at least a certified, proper one).

**2. How do you determine the quality of work? How do you determine the quality of a purchase? Do you pay any attention to it?**

Work is if it solves the goal for what it was intended for. I'd take word of mouth for something I'm purchasing. Prices are scams so the lower the cost the better.

**3. There is a professional next to you. How do you know they are a professional? How do you evaluate their skill?**

They show me through their actions. Even idiots get degrees. It reminds me of that saying "the lowest of their graduating class in med school is still a doctor". If we are just sitting, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt while talking (I wouldn't be mean) but I'll take everything they say with a grain of salt- I'm quite skeptical.

**4. If you struggle to do something, how do you fix that? Do you know if your performance is better or worse than others?**

I have ADHD, so I have worked on this a lot. I typically go for a walk or something stimulating, and it clears my head. Or I set a time I must finish by, and "race" to the end. My performance cannot be compared to others, because we are different people. But in the case of a test, grades would tell the differences.

**5. How do you measure the success of a job? What standard do you use? Do you pay attention to it? When should you deviate from this standard?**

Money, prestige, and most of all power. I want to control things. I'd climb to the top of an organization, and if I can't I will leave and build my own. I would deviate from this standard if it is in something I don't like, or if my job was boring me to death.

**Meta-analysis:**

Question 1 was confusing. But then it made sense after I finished the others.

Section 2

**1. What is a whole? Can you identify its parts? Are the parts equivalent to the whole?**

A whole is a whole. There are many parts in a whole, and yes they are equivalent.

**2. What does "logical" mean? What is your understanding? Do you think that it correlates with the common view? How do you know you are being logical?**

Logical is just using your head and making common sense. It might not correlate with the common view at times, due to different interpretations. I know I am being logical when I am not engaging my emotions.

**3. What is hierarchy? Give examples of hierarchies. Do you need to follow it? Why or why not? Explain how hierarchy is used in a system you are familiar with.**

Hierarchy is when someone is above you and someone is below. The military is a good one. It is important for society, yes. But I don't like being at the bottom. I work a part time job (in high school currently) and I am in customer service. I hate it very much, but the money is worth more.

**4. What is classification? How does classification work? Why is it needed and where is it applied? Give examples.**

This right now is classification. It is like personality theory, and putting things into boxes. People like doing that, it is human nature. It is needed because without labels and boxes it is hard to make sense of the chaos we see in everyday life. Absorb the information and sort it into its categories later.

**5. Are your ideas consistent? How do you know they are consistent? How do you spot inconsistency in others' ideas?**

They are not. I know this from writing things down. I do not really spot inconsistency in other people's ideas, as my memory is poor. However, I don't trust them anyway.

**Meta-analysis:**

One is a strange question- I thought this wasn't English class. Answering these proves very tiresome.

Section 3

**1. Can you press people? What methods do you use? How does it happen?**

If someone has angered me, yes. I don't like doing so usually. I am not physically strong compared to the people who irritate me, so I must use words (vicious mockery). If I am stronger I will use my fists in that scenario. I do not hold grudges usually, it is more of a burst then I forget about it.

**2. How do you get what you want? What do you do if you have to work to get what you want?**

I look for chances to pounce on the opportunity to do it, and I will. If I have to work, if I am passionate I will continue, but if it is too far away I will drop it. I like immediate results more.

**3. How do you deal with opposition? What methods do you use to defend your interests?**

I shut them down if I don't like the other person. But I like arguments, and will listen to the other person, granted that they aren't annoying (like my brother). I use research from sources and reason from there in my methods.

**4. When do you think it's ok to occupy someone's space? Do you recognize it?**

Why would I occupy someone's space if I had my own? If I didn't have my own, I'd ask. Although if they don't serve my interests, and ruin their space, I can surely do it better. Only then I would take their space.

**5. Do others think you are a strong-willed person? Do you think you have a strong will?**

Yes. That is what I am told. I have a strong will, and I know that because I simply do.

**Meta-analysis:**

The wording of questions like four are slowly getting on my nerves. I'm going to take a snack break. It is difficult trying to type more for these questions.

Section 4

**1. How do you satisfy your physical senses? What examples can you give? What physical experiences are you drawn to?**

I eat food I like, and sleep well. I like looking at pleasurable things. I have a Pinterest account and enjoy sculpting when I am bored. I skateboard. CPTSD and depression have changed how often I do things, but on good days I am outside, usually looking at plants.

**2. How do you find harmony with your environment? How do you build a harmonious environment? What happens if this harmony is disturbed?**

I make it simple. Complex things frustrate me at times, so I've learned to make things easier. No one is giving any extra marks for suffering, after all. If it is disturbed, I just go with the flow. Environments change. Nothing is set into stone.

**3. What does comfort mean to you? How do you create it?**

Where my physical needs are met. I create it by using weighted blankets. I am touch starved fairly easily, so a few companions work as well. For me, it is not necessarily talking to them. I just want to exist nearby in the same room.

**4. How do you express yourself in your hobbies? How do you engage yourself with those things?**

I have fun with them. Life is meant to be lived. YOLO, right? I just laugh it off if I make mistakes.

**5. Tell us how you'd design any room, house or an office. Do you do it yourself, or trust someone else to do it? Why?**

That is too tiresome. I'd let someone qualified do it. As long as it looks pleasing, I do not mind.

**Meta-analysis:**

Gosh, it is hot outside. It is strange how I can feel the answers in my mind, but when I read it the thoughts come to a blank. Apologies if these are too short- I don't usually write too much.

Section 5

**1. Is it acceptable to express emotions in public? Give examples of inappropriate expression of emotions.**

Yes, if you are in danger. Don't like PDA very much. Don't do something just to piss people off. You can cry if you're sad, but don't laugh at funerals, etc.

**2. How do you express your emotions? Can you tell how your expressions affect others in a positive or negative way?**

I express them to myself. I compartmentalize a lot of things, and don't really "feel" my emotions. Rather, I use my head to process it. Sometimes I think of how I "should" feel, rather than what I'm actually feeling. Anger is the largest emotion for me. When I lash out, it bothers people negatively. I usually don't think it is that bad, but I am told it is.

**3. Are you able to change your demeanor in order to interact with your environment in a more or less suitable way? How do you determine what is suitable?**

I can't change my core identity, but I will tone down according to who I'm with, and what is going on.

**4. In what situations do you feel others' feelings? Can you give examples of when you wanted to improve the mood of others?**

I don't feel other people's feelings. I can read the room, however. I usually cheer my mother up after she fights with my father. I've been doing so for years. She is very emotionally unstable, and I wish she were feeling better.

**5. How do others' emotions affect you? How does your internal emotional state correlate or contrast with what you express?**

I feel unaffected. It just doesn't affect my state of mind. I'd say my inside emotions are more intense and brooding than what I show on the outside.

**Meta-analysis:**

I am new to socionics, so I hope I am saying enough. I come from a difficult household. As I mentioned earlier, my CPTSD make me feel like I am not staying true to myself, and I don't really know what I want in life, and what I'm living for... kinda like I lack a purpose and what to know what I should fight for. My brother is schizophrenic, and I am one of his caregivers, so it's affected my family dynamic a lot. It is a bit stressful that I balance high school, my job, and my brother, but it will soon pass :)

Section 6

**1. How can you tell how much emotional space there is between yourself and others? How can you affect this space?**

Very big space. I don't like revealing my true emotions to people. I can talk about it using words and things, but actually feeling said emotions are not for anyone's eyes but my own.

**2. How do you determine how much you like or dislike someone else? How does this affect your relationships?**

Are they going to get in my way? Are they *honest*? (Honesty is very important. A liar is an immediate cut off). Are they trustworthy? Do they have my back, like I do for them? Are they not hypocrites? Do they gossip? (No gossiping, please. If they do they will for me).

**3. How do you move from a distant relationship to a close one? What are the distinguishing characteristics of a close relationship?**

Trust. That's a big one. For me, not having to talk silly things and just do things together. Having each other's back. I'm very ride or die.

**4. How do you know that you are a moral person? Where do you draw your morality from? Do you believe others should share your beliefs on what's moral? Why?**

I've experienced a falling out of my religion after discovering I was a lesbian, but I have recently been reading into humanist theory. I don't exactly like it too much. I think, if a God exists, it is like the force from Star Wars and less a person. Morality for me is just don't hurt other people and try to help others out- we're all going to die at some point.

**5. Someone you care about is acting distant to you. How do you know when this attitude is a reflection of your relationship?**

It would not be me that would be the problem. If someone is distant, they need to tell me what is wrong. I will always lend an ear to listen. If they don't want the help, there is no point in asking.

**Meta-analysis:**

I can't tell how much of this is me versus my trauma responses. Sorry about that, lol.

Section 7

**1. How can you tell someone has the potential to be a successful person? What qualities make a successful person and why?**

They don't give up. Always keep pushing. Never let life cave in on you. Push outwards. A successful person does not have a big ego. Everyone has something they can teach. Networking, and taking the chance when they can do so. Stop thinking, start moving.

**2. Where would you start when looking for a new hobby? How do you find new opportunities and how do you choose which would be best?**

I'd try something thrilling and dangerous. Anything that gets me an adrenaline rush.

**3. How do you interpret the following statement: "Ideas don't need to be feasible in order to be worthwhile." Do you agree or disagree, and why?**

Disagree. What is the point of an idea if you can't put it into an action?

**4. Describe your thought process when relating the following ideas: swimming, chicken, sciences. Do you think that others would draw the same or different connections?**

Swimming pool. I'd feel quite cold at first. Smells like chlorine. Chicken is greasy, and I keep thinking of fried chicken. Science reminds me of my chemistry class from last year. I got a B. Others would draw something according to their experiences in life.

**5. How would you summarize the qualities that are essential to who you are? What kind of potential in you has yet to be actualized and why?**

I'd say I am truthful. And I am resilient. Even if life kicks me down, I will always get up and walk forward.

**Meta-analysis:**

I didn't know there were so many sections! I think for question four I had an intense imagery response, like I could feel the sensations while recalling them.

Section 8

**1. How do people change? Can you describe how various events change people? Can others see those changes?**

People are not linear in change. They can get worse before better, and vice versa. Speaking from my view, trauma can mess you up if not treated. It continues cycles. And yes, others close to you can see those changes. Therapy is important for everyone. Although it is hard to access in the US- that is a topic for another time.

**2. How do you feel and experience time? Can time be wasted? How?**

Time is relative. No time relaxing is wasted, or at least that is what I've been trying to learn. I have workaholic tendencies and typically push myself until I can no more.

**3. Is there anything that cannot be described with words? What is it? If so, how can we understand what it is if language does not work?**

Music, I think. Language really depends on what you're using. Different languages can express different emotions. The biggest one for me is realizing that everyone has their own story, and I can't experience it all.

**4. How do you anticipate events unfolding? How can you observe such unfoldments in your environment?**

Depends on the presidential election, ha. Just kidding, they will be very well. I trust that whatever I land in, I can get myself out just as easily.

**5. In what situations is timing important? How do you know the time is right to act? How do you feel about waiting for the right moment?**

This question reminded me of a line Violet (?) spoke in a Series of Unfortunate Events- "If we wait until we're ready, we'll be waiting for the rest of our lives."

There is no right moment. Do things now, before you never can again.

**Meta-analysis:**

That's it, I guess. Let me know if I need to clarify things, I hope everything made sense :)

Here' the link! I'm new to the socionic typology system. I spent about 2 hours and a half answering, I hope it's accurate enough!

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FwBAtaHihQjWpltC6XD15gFB6pk0dGrKEBP0NWwcgCU/edit?usp=sharing

I did a huge questionnaire answering questions in a different sub reddit and a girl replied that my type is probably Eii, but I'll explain the problem I have with that type. I don't want to go into too much detail because this isn't something I'm proud of, but I do have fits of rage (Fortunately, they don't happen that often) where I throw objects or break things. People paint the picture of an Eii as an angel incapable of harming anyone and who hates violence, I want to know the opinion of someone who knows about this type, Eii are they capable of being aggressive in this way? Can preople use their Polr in a toxic way? I can post here the quiz I did on another sub reddit if necessary.

Section 1:

1. How do you work? Why do people go to work? Are there any parameters that determine whether you can do work or not? What are they?

Unfortunately, I'm an endemic procrastinator. However, from time to time, I am struck by "rays of inspiration" and can research the same subject for hours or days at a time. So I think it's fair to say that I work in spurts.

People have been going to back-breaking work since Adam's sin, or so the religious tradition tells us: people go to work to survive and provide for their families; to create a great feat, realize a great dream, perhaps become worthy of being remembered by history.

Yes, there are parameters. My mental and physical condition, especially my mental condition. The quality of my work is lower when I'm particularly "foggy" or "airy" during the day. In short, I have to pick up the pieces of what little volitional energy I have.

2. How do you determine the quality of work? How do you determine the quality of a purchase? Do you pay any attention to it?

It is determined by whether the work fulfills the function it was initially assigned; whether it was done and finished quickly enough and whether a reasonable amount of energy was spent on it.

The quality of a purchase depends on the balance between the level of need and urgency of the product and the money I have. I like to buy beautiful things, like everyone else, but I would hardly buy a sofa, fridge or a suit of clothes that are way overpriced.

In general, I don't pay much attention to it, because I don't think I really need to. I think I have a pretty good idea of what are good deals and what aren't.

3. There is a professional next to you. How do you know they are a professional? How do you evaluate their skill?

First of all, I'd look at how he carries himself, whether he's a good speaker and speaks confidently on the subject he's supposed to be an expert on. I think this method is flawed and vulnerable to charming charlatans, so I would ask questions about the subject in question. Let's say this professional is a geologist specializing in oil, so I would ask factual questions about oil. For example: How do you identify areas with oil potential in the pre-salt? What is the average depth of the wells drilled to extract oil in this layer? etc.

4. If you struggle to do something, how do you fix that? Do you know if your performance is better or worse than others?

I'd try to read something about it, either in books or on the internet, in obscure forums or on reddit. If that doesn't work, I'll probably just give up and go for some leisure time (which is most of my time).

I think so, but I don't usually pay much attention to it.

5. How do you measure the success of a job? What standard do you use? Do you pay attention to it? When should you deviate from this standard?

The success of a job depends on whether it achieves its predetermined objectives efficiently.

I'm not sure, I'm an improviser in that respect. Usually, it works well.

Not much.

I'm not sure, it would depend enormously on the situation in question.

Meta-analysis: Chill section. Only the last questions gave me kind of a blank. In the third question I had to erase some text, it was a little bit too long.

Section 2:

1. What is a whole? Can you identify its parts? Are the parts equivalent to the whole?

It's internal articulation, it's constitutive order, it's the principle of unity and functioning, it's what gives coherence to its parts.

Yes, I probably can.

No, they can't be. Hamlet and a telephone directory are both shaped like books. What differentiates them is their form, the order and internal connection of the words that make them up. An object cannot be reduced to its parts without immediately ceasing to exist as such. A statue of a human being has the shape, but not the intrinsic form of a human being, i.e. the ability to grow and function as a human being.

2. What does “logical” mean? What is your understanding? Do you think that it correlates with the common view? How do you know you are being logical?

It means drawing the necessary from the necessary; drawing the correct (or valid) conclusion from prior premises and being consistent with them.

My understanding may be that the word "logical" can be used in the sense elucidated above or to mean the inner workings of a given object or collection of objects and their proper place in the world. Or it can be used in the more dynamic and "real" sense of the word: being concerned with the natural processes of objects and their uses.

I usually know when I'm being logical. In short, as I said before: taking the necessary from the necessary.

3. What is hierarchy? Give examples of hierarchies. Do you need to follow it? Why or why not? Explain how hierarchy is used in a system you are familiar with.

It's a system of ranking from least to greatest, from most important to least important. We have scientific hierarchies like taxonomy; socio-cultural and religious hierarchies like the Indian caste system; and professional hierarchies like organizational structures such as we see in companies like Walmart or Twitter.

Fortunately or unfortunately, this is how the world works. Without a proper chain of command little work or action would ever be done. So I "follow" it.

Why? Because, in principle, I am not impervious to hierarchies, I believe. Let the powerful be powerful.

4. What is classification? How does classification work? Why is it needed and where is it applied? Give examples.

It is a "system of recognition" that separates things according to their differentiating and shared characteristics.

Classifications work by separating classes of objects according to their essence or nature (the so-called universals).

It is applied almost everywhere. I think it is necessary, although not sufficient, for a correct understanding of the real world. It is applied in virtually all scientific fields, in the professional realm, and of course also in philosophy, in the field we might call metaphysics.

5. Are your ideas consistent? How do you know they are consistent? How do you spot inconsistency in others’ ideas?

I think so.

By examining them closely.

The Socratic method never fails.

Meta-analysis: Mostly chill and cool section. The questions about classifications and hierarchies bored me a little bit. I get that these questions are pretty straightforward and simple, anyone should know that. About the last question, I question myself why would anyone admit having inconsistent ideas, but certainly there are some people.

Section 3:

1. Can you press people? What methods do you use? How does it happen?

I can certainly try. It’s generally sloppy (unless I’m pretty angry, but then it will just be overly aggressive). Generally, I overwhelm them verbally. I’m a professional curser, I'd say. Sometimes maybe too mean. I know where to hit emotionally.

2. How do you get what you want? What do you do if you have to work to get what you want?

Actually, I have no freaking idea.

I don't know.

3. How do you deal with opposition? What methods do you use to defend your interests?

If someone opposes me I’ll fight back and try to stand my ground, it's only natural. It's hard for me to give in, unless I'm way outnumbered. I can't say the same when I was a child, I had a harder time standing for myself. More often than not I'm on the defense, so I have the perfect excuse to be harsh.

4. When do you think it’s ok to occupy someone’s space? Do you recognize it?

When one’s incompetent and can't muster enough strength to hold one’s own position.

5. Do others think you are a strong-willed person? Do you think you have a strong will?

No, although some people say I have a "strong personality" (rather in the negative sense). That's probably because I can be pretty firm in my convictions and adamant against opposing discourses that I deem senseless.

I can feel multiple ways inside, the truth is I can’t impose my will onto the world, therefore it’s weak.

Meta-analysis: This section had me thinking significantly more, and even then I couldn't answer too much. Apart from that, nothing too distressing.

Section 4:

1. How do you satisfy your physical senses? What examples can you give? What physical experiences are you drawn to?

Well, I’m not sure. I think I satisfy my needs as they come, but I can't regulate it very well. I have an endemic problem with sleep.

2. How do you find harmony with your environment? How do you build a harmonious environment? What happens if this harmony is disturbed?

Nothing that displeases or disturbs the good function of the mind is more or less sufficient to be harmonious. I’m not too demanding regarding this.

I’m not very sure. The buildup of a nice environment is kind of natural to me; in new places, for example, I quickly find my neat little haven where I won't be disturbed.

3. What does comfort mean to you? How do you create it?

Comfort is the sense of ease and serenity.

I’m not particularly focused on my immediate environment (not to say I was mostly oblivious to it in my childhood and early teenage years). I create comfort by taking care of my body with long baths and more or less constant beauty routines. I have a certain "feeling of disgust" of having a body and more or less "obsessively" cleaning it reduces this feeling. But this is exclusive to my body, I don't really care about my environment.

4. How do you express yourself in your hobbies? How do you engage yourself with those things?

I’m not sure. Apart from reading and video games, I don't have any hobbies. And thinking about this, I really should have some.

5. Tell us how you’d design any room, house or an office. Do you do it yourself, or trust someone else to do it? Why?

If I had plenty of money, I would try to beautify with paintings and art; try to create a particular meaning to that room.

But I'd probably leave that task to someone else, as I've done every other time.

Meta-analysis: In general, a boring section. Some questions gave me a few "blank moments", but probably because I wasn't that eager to answer them. I think I can handle these topics successfully enough without feeling overwhelmed by them.

Section 5:

1. Is it acceptable to express emotions in public? Give examples of inappropriate expression of emotions.

I think so. I can emote: smile or laugh out loud if I'm not between complete strangers, but not much above that.

Crying of sadness or happiness. Complaining about personal and intimate problems, such as family issues or disease issues etc. Don't get me wrong, I don't necessarily despise people who do this, it's just that these situations make me feel weird and I would never do them myself in public.

2. How do you express your emotions? Can you tell how your expressions affect others in a positive or negative way?

I generally emote spontaneously, and that’s it. I don’t open myself emotionally to everyone (in fact, almost no one), you won’t ever see me talking about my “deep emotions” and “inner fantasies”. And 95% of this problem is because I don’t know how to open up, and, as a general rule, I don't want to. It would be funny if my consultations with my neuropsychologist were recorded and came out. She needed to “fight” me to make me emotionally open up.

I think it’s fairly neutral. I keep to myself, so I don’t have many examples. I did many presentations in High School and College and discovered myself to be an excellent communicator and have been recognized for it. It felt good.

3. Are you able to change your demeanor in order to interact with your environment in a more or less suitable way? How do you determine what is suitable?

Not my baseline behavior, but I know for a fact I can do it. In High School, during a Culture Fair (or whatever is called in English), I took part in a theatre piece playing a more or less emotional role. Nobody cried or anything, but by the look of their faces, they were kind of surprised. I got “elected” as the best actor. It felt good.

4. In what situations do you feel others’ feelings? Can you give examples of when you wanted to improve the mood of others?

I’m not sure. Tragic situations, certainly. In a soccer game, I could almost find myself chanting with the crowd. On birthdays, I don’t sing “happy birthday”. I find it cringe.

I tried once to cheer up a crying girl. These situations make me uncomfortable because I’m helpless and don’t know what to do. It worked.

5. How do others’ emotions affect you? How does your internal emotional state correlate or contrast with what you express?

I’m not sure how, but they do somehow.

Usually contrasts. As I've said, I keep it to myself.

Meta-analysis: A little more difficult section to answer. The last two questions gave me some blanks, but with a little effort something came out.

Section 6:

1. How can you tell how much emotional space there is between yourself and others? How can you affect this space?

I’m not sure. I determine this distance as one is or could be my “confidant”. I don’t really know.

2. How do you determine how much you like or dislike someone else? How does this affect your relationships?

I’m not very aware of that nor ask myself much about that, but I can have more or less strong feelings towards people apparently without any reason at all.

3. How do you move from a distant relationship to a close one? What are the distinguishing characteristics of a close relationship?

I don’t know, I think it's pretty natural. If two persons match, a lot goes unsaid. I'm enthusiastic about that: how to see the heart of a person.

4. How do you know that you are a moral person? Where do you draw your morality from? Do you believe others should share your beliefs on what’s moral? Why?

By acting according to justice. Justice is achieved when individuals are given what they deserve, as rewards or punishments.

I’m not particularly moralistic, I don’t have strong opinions about the “taboo” (I’m not easily baffled at substance abuse or rather sexual lifestyles etc). If they want to live this way, let them be. Let them have their own Requiem for a Dream. Ultimately, I draw my morality from gut “feeling” that can’t really be justified only logically (maybe it can), as all humans do (except psychopaths).

I don’t think so. I’m very “pluralistic” regarding morality.

5. Someone you care about is acting distant to you. How do you know when this attitude is a reflection of your relationship?

I’ll just directly ask them about this. But I probably already know if I screwed up.

Meta-analysis: Most of this section had me stranded for a time. The longest section to answer so far.

Section 7:

1. How can you tell someone has the potential to be a successful person? What qualities make a successful person and why?

I don’t give much attention to this, unfortunately. I am hermetically closed and lack curiosity for others. Intelligence, Industriousness, Novelty, Adaptability etc; how one can make an impact on one's environment and push one's agenda.

2. Where would you start when looking for a new hobby? How do you find new opportunities and how do you choose which would be best?

I would start by engaging more with the external world.

3. How do you interpret the following statement: “Ideas don’t need to be feasible in order to be worthwhile.” Do you agree or disagree, and why?

I agree. There’s no lack of examples in history of intellectuals obsessing over a particular subject that some decades or centuries later would bear useful, practical results. Even when that’s not a possibility, like with the hard problem of consciousness, free will, God etc, that’s still important for understanding the overarching structure of reality.

4. Describe your thought process when relating the following ideas: swimming, chicken, sciences. Do you think that others would draw the same or different connections?

First, I got pissed because I couldn't reduce any of the 3 to anything that made plausible logical sense. But then the theory of evolution occured to me: this theory could connect the three and reduce them to a common analogue.

Some would, probably.

5. How would you summarize the qualities that are essential to who you are? What kind of potential in you has yet to be actualized and why?

I prefer not to talk about it. Too intimate.

Meta-analysis: Most of the section bored me. I didn't get stuck or anything but I was not very eager to answer.

Section 8:

1. How do people change? Can you describe how various events change people? Can others see those changes?

People can change a lot of ways through time. It’s a radically multidimensional phenomenon, and no science can totally explain it.

Events have a profound impact on individuals, shaping their perspectives, behaviors, personalities. These changes often are gradual and so minor most people can not readily notice them.

2. How do you feel and experience time? Can time be wasted? How?

I experience time all the time, as with all people. Time is the central problem of philosophy, the one that gives rise to all the others and that, so to speak, makes them exist. It is easy to see that our life is only a problem for us because it unfolds over time: the mystery of life is the mystery of its origin and its outcome.

It depends how you view time. If for one "time is money" then time can definitely be wasted. Otherwise, with a more proper understanding of time, it is time that wastes us. The Great Devourer is the creator, the preserver and the destroyer of everything that exists. At every moment it takes and gives us being, it suspends us between being and nothingness; until our period, our cycle is fulfilled. Time separates us, time devours us.

3. Is there anything that cannot be described with words? What is it? If so, how can we understand what it is if language does not work?

Most of what we know cannot be transmitted with words. Most of our knowledge is non-verbal and is the very foundation of all verbal knowledge.

Try teaching someone how to ride a bike only with words, see if you’re successful. What cannot be exactly verbalized by us ranges from the insignificant act of riding a bicycle to understanding who God is and His essence. Theologians have admitted: God is unknowable, we can only see him from behind.

As the senses cannot provide us with the reality of anything and only give us discontinuous sensory pieces of external objects, it is up to the intellect and imagination to reconstruct/recognize the entire picture and give us the unity of the Real.

4. How do you anticipate events unfolding? How can you observe such unfoldments in your environment?

I’m not sure. I would stay informed about current events, trends, and relevant data related to the situation. I would look for patterns and trends in the information I gather. Past events can often provide clues about how similar situations may unfold in the future. I would pay attention to historical precedents and recurring themes etc.

5. In what situations is timing important? How do you know the time is right to act? How do you feel about waiting for the right moment?

Since we live in space-time, pretty much all of them. We have limited time and can’t do everything. Of course, there are radically higher and lower temporal preferences for different things.

Lately, I’ve really been questioning my capacity to know how to act at the right moment. So many opportunities were lost because I waited too much.

Meta-analysis: Chill and interesting section. Answers came naturally and with ease. The second and third questions I wrote too much and had to reduce the text.

Hello, everyone! I wanted to get your input on what my type would be based on my answers to the questions below. I couldn't figure it out myself, so I leave it up to yall lmao. Thanks!

Profile: 22 year old male in college, studying economics

At the end of each section, give a meta-analysis of your experience answering it. Consider: Did some questions make you feel strained or at ease? Were the questions straightforward or did your mind go blank at any point? Were you confused at any point? Did any questions make you lose interest and want to stop? Were there any questions you had to edit down because you wrote _too_ much?

---

##Section 1

**1. How do you work? Why do people go to work? Are there any parameters that determine whether you can do work or not? What are they?**

I work very sporadically. There are days where I don't work at all and there are days where I work to the extreme, typically when deadlines or fears linger around my head. I feel very ambitious of goals generally, but I find myself putting off work frequently. I later found out that it wasn't necessarily because I was doing work to satisfy my deep, inner desires, but to satisfy what other people find impressive or what will get me the most opportunities, money, or social status. People go to work generally to feed their families and to sustain a home and a comfortable lifestyle, but what I noticed was that they sort of lose themselves in the process (meaning: they go to work for security reasons, but don't really go because it's fulfilling or because it's fun).

**2. How do you determine the quality of work? How do you determine the quality of a purchase? Do you pay any attention to it?**

I have a tendency to determine the quality of work based on results, whether it is the amount it can pay or the grade level one achieves. I don't really care that much about the quality of a purchase, just something that's cheap, but can offer me the value it is meant to give at the right price.

**3. There is a professional next to you. How do you know they are a professional? How do you evaluate their skill?**

I would know they are a professional based on how they talk and how they present themselves and how they wear. I evaluate their skill based on how much they can talk in depth about their field and how much confidence they show in what they are talking about in the process.

**4. If you struggle to do something, how do you fix that? Do you know if your performance is better or worse than others?**

It depends on what it is, but if it is something I care about, I fix it by first overthinking it excessively, then researching it on Google (usually this) or from someone trustworthy and then following a general template or steps as a plan to confront it. If it fails, I keep trying and looking for more feedback around the related issue online. If it continues, then I just get anxious and eventually forget about it overtime.

**5. How do you measure the success of a job? What standard do you use? Do you pay attention to it? When should you deviate from this standard?**

Like I said before, I had the tendency to measure the success of a job based on how much recognition (mostly because of celebrity or social power it contained in the media) and monetary value it brings to the world and I tended to adhere to this unhealthily in the past by choosing careers that I didn't truly have my heart set in, but still did for the reasons outlined above. I started deviating from this standard by realizing my true hidden passions I've suppressed in the past to chase after the ideal and not really thinking about what I was really getting myself into. I tended to romanticize and fantasize what it would bring, but not how I would've felt as I was doing it.

**Meta-analysis:**

Thinking of multiple things I wanted to talk about in each question, which is just sort of who I am, especially when it comes to open-ended, personal questions like these. It's either that or blank for some reason, as was the case with q3. I also sort of feel this need to lecture about certain questions on certain topics, as was the case with q1. I also noticed for q4, I tended to just answer it straight away, but stopped myself in the process to consider more deeply how I actually solve a problem, because my way of solving it doesn't seem set in stone or seems ambiguous. For q5, I sort of just stopped in the middle of explaining how I deviated from the standard, thinking about how I did in the past because the memories were sort of fuzzy.

---

##Section 2

**1. What is a whole? Can you identify its parts? Are the parts equivalent to the whole?**

A whole is dependent on who looks at it, but generally it can be used to describe someone or something that is complicated, but can be understood by the general layman. (When I thought of a whole, my mind jumped from a giant donut to the universe for some reason). I can identify its parts and become enthused and focused by the details, but this can result in me not seeing the big picture as a whole. But when I identify the whole, it's also just as hard for me to remember the parts in their correct positions properly.

**2. What does "logical" mean? What is your understanding? Do you think that it correlates with the common view? How do you know you are being logical?**

"Logical" means something that is understood and makes sense in the context of other things working together to form a concept or a mechanism that illustrates something about how a part of the world or society works. My understanding of it is to connect it within my pretty chaotic inner mental world, but if it doesn't make sense, I tend to overthink it for long periods of time. Usually, I find a certain concept more understandable through repetition and well-made illustration instead that looks at it in the context of other relatable concepts and ideas. Yes, actually in the field of academia and other fields I get my ideas from, I don't necessarily filter it out because it's not logically valid from all points, but only when it doesn't make sense in the context of other things in my mind. Thus, my view tends to be "contrarian" to the general populace, but it doesn't come from within, but from circles that "debate against" common views. I don't necessarily know if I am being logical, I just state it out when I feel like it doesn't make sense from my perspective, but also sometimes because I'm curious sometimes of how other people would take it and respond back.

**3. What is hierarchy? Give examples of hierarchies. Do you need to follow it? Why or why not? Explain how hierarchy is used in a system you are familiar with.**

While I know that there are a lot of definitions of hierarchies, when I think of hierarchy, I think the first inkling of an idea I get is a social structure of people who have a certain "value" (usually thinking of it in a pyramid style). I have a conscious need to either follow it or not be aware of it, but I get the feeling I want to "rebel" against it subconsciously too, because of how wrong it sounds from a certain perspective. What I mean by this is it sounds really unfair for certain people who had a multitude of reasons for not advancing while others advance mostly due to privilege and "cheating". Hierarchy is used in a system I am familiar with in terms of social standing (think value portrayed by the media in the form of what you can do and how people will admire it), which was borrowed from my parents, who (especially my mother) expected me to become a disciplined, rule-abiding professional in a respected industry, which I had issues with when talking about with her by pointing out whether it's worth becoming one.

**4. What is classification? How does classification work? Why is it needed and where is it applied? Give examples.**

Classifications are arbitrary systems of relating ideals, thoughts, events, etc. based on externally imposed categories based on similarities (thought about frogs and biological species classification). However, in my head, I can almost always find some "stretched" connection between 2 different "topics" (for example, seeing human faces on ceilings or wooden surfaces sometimes) so it shatters how I think of classifications internally. It is needed to make sense of the world we live in and it is usually applied in a multitude of ways, from work to even shopping in the mall. It's a little undescribable, because I don't think you can live life without some sense of order or reason.

**5. Are your ideas consistent? How do you know they are consistent? How do you spot inconsistency in others' ideas?**

My ideas are the opposite of consistent. I feel like my ideas change time from time again, because I am very impressionable of outside sources and can get lost in the world of information and not necessarily doing enough justice to really reason it all out, even when I "overthink" concepts to make sure they make sense. This was why I found it hard to debate, because I tended to think the others had a point and either agreed to disagree or continue with whatever I had. I spot inconsistency in others' ideas based on what I've heard or felt in the past that doesn't make sense in retrospect of their other points or because of certain details I remembered and asking them if they've accounted for that.

**Meta-analysis:**

For q1, I thought about a word that came into my mind "enamored" as I was writing it, because it "felt" right. But I didn't know what the definition was so I looked it up and changed to "enthused" and "focused" because it fit how I looked at it better. For q2, I thought about "government", "manipulation", "gears", "industry power plants" as I was defining what "logical" meant in my definition. While I was working on the rest of q2, I noticed I struggled to define how I frame my thinking skills and what my true motivations are, even though I tend to actually like talking about topics in a "logical" style with other people. I started finding myself thinking a lot deeper about q4 and perfecting it, because some descriptions of how I thought about it didn't seem or feel right. For q5, I felt like it was a bit of a personal attack, where I talked about my own personal experience with my own ideas.

---

##Section 3

**1. Can you press people? What methods do you use? How does it happen?**

I can press people when it is either in a field I feel either sub-expert or expert level at or just simply sometimes joke around by challenging them subtly with quick remarks or even sometimes because I feel like it to see how far I'll go. I usually also ask questions to their positions or arguments they make, usually in the form of "Why?" or asking them their thoughts on certain topics related to it or challenges it.

**2. How do you get what you want? What do you do if you have to work to get what you want?**

I get what I want by working towards them through socially acceptable means (school, showing up to social events when I feel like I need to or because I feel like it sometimes, etc.). I first sort of put it off until I face real consequences and then strap myself down to the extreme to get what I want in an unhealthy way in the past. When I do succeed, generally, I feel enough pride and hope to do even more than what was expected by taking on more, but only eventually burning out in the process. Nowadays, I am trying to do it in a balanced and less ambitious (less projects) manner without neglecting my health or relationships.

**3. How do you deal with opposition? What methods do you use to defend your interests?**

I deal with opposition generally based on whether I care about it or if I feel like it. Other than that, I just accept the opposition and try to find another way to circumvent it by myself later on. If it's something I care about and I feel good enough to deal with, I tend to counteract by offering scenarios or facts that go against the force of opposition. If it's people, I can tend to bring up their past and the fact that what they are doing does not make sense with their past. If it's not enough and I feel deeply hurt about it, I can burst in anger or my voice becomes a bit shakey, but in a controlled way before I try to settle things down or just simply ignore it as if it didn't happen.

**4. When do you think it's ok to occupy someone's space? Do you recognize it?**

I think it's ok to occupy someone's space usually when they give off a general "quiet" or "tolerant" vibe by first trying to get to know them by asking personal questions. I don't recognize the fact that I am occupying someone's space when a scenario like that happens, but I do recognize that I feel this need to make moves to ask them questions to "get along" with them.

**5. Do others think you are a strong-willed person? Do you think you have a strong will?**

Others do tend to think of me as a strong-willed person, but not in a socially acceptable way eventually, since I am strong-willed about how I present myself sometimes or when I introduce myself in an interesting or "cool" way, while hoping that I can get away with it (plot twist: usually I don't and the "mask" slips off at times). Generally, not really, because when I am by myself I don't really feel high energy levels, which my mind tends to associate with the words "strong will", but when it comes to things, events, and people I am passionate about, I can go to extremes at times.

**Meta-analysis:**

For q2, I thought about including what things I avoid even though I feel like I'll get what I want, believing that it's gonna be relevant in the future (It's the fact that I generally get what I want by either subtly going against what other people expect by not showing up or secretly talking about them with friends about how much I disagree with it and desiring feedback. The one thing I usually don't expect is to get what I want by directly arguing or coercing people, because that generally did not work in the past and I "freeze" up when I do that.

---

##Section 4

**1. How do you satisfy your physical senses? What examples can you give? What physical experiences are you drawn to?**

I satisfy my physical senses mostly by going out into nature every once in a while and eating tasty food (especially junk food, which became a problem in the past). Recently, I was introduced to the gym and that has started to lead to other ventures in my life where I hope to seek out other forms of sports, mostly solo, like skydiving, parkour, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, etc. I wouldn't call myself "sensual" though given that I bump into things frequently or really care that much about experiencing "new sensations".

**2. How do you find harmony with your environment? How do you build a harmonious environment? What happens if this harmony is disturbed?**

I find harmony with the environment by doing to organize it, whether it is cleaning up the room, trying to get people to talk with interesting and fun conversations, and having a sense of "routine" to my daily life. If this harmony is disturbed, it's usually because I went AWOL and decided to try out something completely different with my lifestyle or my hobbies or just simply falling behind because I got bored or mentally moved on. This usually ensues until I start developing a "self awareness" crisis and try to remediate the situation by organizing. Kinda rinse and repeat.

**3. What does comfort mean to you? How do you create it?**

Comfort means to me feeling like nature has invaded my mind, where at least the "peaceful part" of it did where I can see the good in me and it reflects in my actions and the home I desire to create with that mindset. I try to strive for this by thinking about earning enough money or creating plans that routinize and bring order to my life to invest in a lifestyle to fund my travels and go lounge in spas or something.

**4. How do you express yourself in your hobbies? How do you engage yourself with those things?**

I express myself in my hobbies by displaying consistent and strong-but-calm expression, whether it's through lifting weights or meditating to try to resist against the noise of the world.

**5. Tell us how you'd design any room, house or an office. Do you do it yourself, or trust someone else to do it? Why?**

I would design first with the help of someone else, because I don't really feel confident in myself in expressing myself artistically in this department. I would try to strive for a simple, but something "catchy", "flashy", or "bright" about it.

**Meta-analysis:**

I could tell I struggled in here, because while I really like comfort, it's hard to do that when someone is shouting inside your head constantly to push yourself out of your comfort zone.

---

##Section 5

**1. Is it acceptable to express emotions in public? Give examples of inappropriate expression of emotions.**

It is acceptable depending on what emotions and to whom I express my emotions. Usually, I try to portray an interested, "quirky" person on the outside to the public, with positive emotions, like laughing (even fake laughing), smiling, excited, etc. However, sometimes if I am stressed or not in the mood, I can become really anxious, which I try to suppress, but usually comes out to others in the form of overthinking or overapologizing, as examples. Generally, I try to suppress mostly anger and sadness from the public, while I can tend to let loose of my anger around my loved ones. This anger can manifest in frustration with certain facets of how they behave or talk. Sadness, especially in the form of crying, seems to be locked in a "no-no" department in my mind, because even when I want to cry by myself, it's hard to express that.

**2. How do you express your emotions? Can you tell how your expressions affect others in a positive or negative way?**

I express my emotions like as mentioned above, actually lmao. I cannot necessarily tell how my expressions affect others, but I try to keep it positive or engaged so that it doesn't cause any uncomfortableness or awkward silences between me and other people.

**3. Are you able to change your demeanor in order to interact with your environment in a more or less suitable way? How do you determine what is suitable?**

I am, to a degree, able to change my demeanor, but it is more dependent on my mood, like I said. I can put up a smile and try talking to others, but the only problem is it can tend to feel forced because I overdo it. I determine what is suitable based on what the emotional atmosphere of the environment is like. If it is lively, I try to absorb it and pour out my own emotions that suits it, while if it is down or surprised, I would usually just try to cope, but secretly want to exit out when I can.

**4. In what situations do you feel others' feelings? Can you give examples of when you wanted to improve the mood of others?**

I feel others' feelings when something unjust usually happens to them and they express what they have lost or feel about the situation in a hopeless way. One example of this includes when a person was feeling down because he was socially excluded where I tried to encourage him that there are more people out there who can be your friend.

**5. How do others' emotions affect you? How does your internal emotional state correlate or contrast with what you express?**

I honestly feel easily moved by others' emotions around me, causing me a lot of anxiety if it's too extreme, but try to embrace it (and have succeeded over time to try to absorb and reflect that). My internal emotional state is oftentimes at odds with what I express to others, but if it's tilted to one direction too far, I don't hesitate to bring it out gradually, causing my "mask" to fall off.

**Meta-analysis:**

I have only recently started to acknowledge my own emotions as I've repressed it for so long to try to be "acceptable" and "weak" on the outside, and it has honestly begun to lead to greater states of contentness that I didn't imagine existed before.

---

##Section 6

**1. How can you tell how much emotional space there is between yourself and others? How can you affect this space?**

I can tell by how they are behaving in retrospect to how I behave and act around them, usually through body language and tone. I can affect this space by trying to appeal to their conversational topics, although I still try to insert my own personal stories when it can be related to theirs.

**2. How do you determine how much you like or dislike someone else? How does this affect your relationships?**

I determine how much I like or dislike someone else with how they behave, usually the humble and chill ones tend to pass my definition of someone likable, while those who seem to be "selling" you something or are overtly prideful in themselves don't. This affects my relationships, because although I tolerate their presence, usually they'll eventually tell by how I act around them and be dismissive to those who I dislike. I usually got stuck in uneasy relationships with friend groups, where such people existed to the point where either I stopped meeting them through splintering or simply moved on myself to find other friends or people to be around with.

**3. How do you move from a distant relationship to a close one? What are the distinguishing characteristics of a close relationship?**

I move from a distant relationship to a close one by trying to invite them out to fun getaways (think bars, bowling, etc.) to try to reconnect with them and to catch up with their lives. Usually, I try to insert memories we shared to recherish the emotions we may have felt. To me, the distinguishing characteristics of a close relationship are trust and tolerance of others' opinions, although these are traits I don't always see in myself, which I desire to work on.

**4. How do you know that you are a moral person? Where do you draw your morality from? Do you believe others should share your beliefs on what's moral? Why?**

I know that I am a moral person by always trying to be honest when I can and to consider whether people's values and perspectives are taken into account when making decisions. I draw my morality from within myself. I believe others should share my beliefs on what's moral to an extent, because too much cruelty and deception is happening around the world, so it doesn't hurt to try to work on being honest and think about the consequences of your actions on other people.

**5. Someone you care about is acting distant to you. How do you know when this attitude is a reflection of your relationship?**

I know it when I tell them what is wrong and they start judging me of my character and my actions.

**Meta-analysis:**

I had a lot of blank spaces here and there here. Friends come and go a lot for me, so I never really felt the value of a long-term friendship enough to write about something related to this.

---

##Section 7

**1. How can you tell someone has the potential to be a successful person? What qualities make a successful person and why?**

When someone has conviction enough to go after what they think they deserve and without external feedback in getting it. Additional traits include never giving up despite failing over and over again, because I believe that most of success comes from learning experience, to which they are aware of and are not afraid to endure to succeed.

**2. Where would you start when looking for a new hobby? How do you find new opportunities and how do you choose which would be best?**

I wouldn't know where to start, because my new hobbies start without reason and without reason, necessarily, but getting me started loosely with a bunch of people who are either experts or are very interesting in their fields could get me started. I find new opportunities usually from other people and especially from other friends and family, but also possibly from the Internet after surfing around randomly. I choose which one is the best initially because of the value it can offer to improve some sort of personality facet or skill. However, later down the road of my life, I am more likely choosing ones that I feel personally drawn to more, like passion and excitement, especially when it can offer much novelty.

**3. How do you interpret the following statement: "Ideas don't need to be feasible in order to be worthwhile." Do you agree or disagree, and why?**

I actually agree, because while ideas are interesting to think of, at the end of the day they are no different from any other sort of entertainment, and they can hold water if they can be the beginning of something worthwhile and applicable to fit what you want to achieve and pursue your dreams.

**4. Describe your thought process when relating the following ideas: swimming, chicken, sciences. Do you think that others would draw the same or different connections?**

Firstly, when I think of the following words each by each as they came, I literally imagined them as they are in my mind: swimming (thinks swimming pool), chicken (thinks raw chicken meat), sciences (thinks labs and atoms). Then as I tried to consciously put them together, I think of, "huh, if the scientific field tests labs on a bunch of mice, can they do it with chicken, and if so were there any situations where they made them swim. Oh, now I'm thinking about how chicken in Minecraft swim by flapping their wings and making splashing sounds."

**5. How would you summarize the qualities that are essential to who you are? What kind of potential in you has yet to be actualized and why?**

I would summarize the qualities in me to a few words: persevering, flexible, fantastical, and impressionable. The kind of potential in me that has yet to be achieved is to be decisive, brave (although I have become more brave by taking on bolder activities, like studying abroad), outgoing and giving, & even focused, because I know that when I am at my best state, these are the traits I tend to embody (except for decisive though).

**Meta-analysis:**

For a majority of the questions, I took a while to think of my answers carefully, based on past experience, because I never really felt they were definite in my life, whether they're personal definitions of something or even simply a hobby. I struggled a bit answering q5, because I never really particularly focused on my key character traits and I also don't necessarily think of good ones, since I tend to be impatient, stuck in paralysis analysis (where I then get impulsive at times because of waiting around too long), and quite naive, which has brought my self esteem down in the past.

---

##Section 8

**1. How do people change? Can you describe how various events change people? Can others see those changes?**

People change as they encounter ideals or situations that challenge something deeper inside they've kept to heart & this is also dependent on how they took it and reframed it relative to how they want to live their lives. The coronavirus pandemic, for example, has caused a lot of people around me to be either outright desperate for friends, making some "sheltered" (not introverted necessarily) people more outgoing, because of waking up from their habits, or when people who used to be more daring and outgoing have lost some sort of trust in interacting with others. I don't think most others can see those changes, but I may be wrong because of how easily they can keep their true views to themselves and only express them online, as was the case for me as I've noticed it also through how people described what changed over the pandemic.

**2. How do you feel and experience time? Can time be wasted? How?**

I either experience time as going either too fast (usually when I am in the zone about something exciting, like at a water park, or getting used to the mundaneness of everyday life, ironically) or too slow (usually when I am waiting for someone or something or when I just came out of something exciting and feeling dread over everyday life as I go back and do in my daily routine). Time can definitely be wasted, even if I believe that everything we do has some sort of influence on who we become, because there could be better things to spend the time on to either become better at something or finish something I have to do.

**3. Is there anything that cannot be described with words? What is it? If so, how can we understand what it is if language does not work?**

There can be, as is the case with different experiences we can feel when we do something (very good examples are the mental states we feel when dreaming, on psychedelic drugs, or meditating) that I don't think English or any language has any particular language for. I mean if you think about it, there are some words, like schadenfreude, that describe very specific concepts that English doesn't have a word for yet. If this is the case, then it is possible that there are very specific concepts or objects that cannot be described just yet. Good analogies that can potentially describe such concepts that can lie even in familiarity are examples like the fact that chair can be described in many ways, either of utility, scenarios that it can be used, etc. or the fact that there are many ways of making a chess move, even if chess seems very simple on the surface. I hope that made sense lol.

**4. How do you anticipate events unfolding? How can you observe such unfoldments in your environment?**

I anticipate events unfolding based on familiar patterns and reactions (both emotions and event-based or something else quite nondescribable sometimes) that are leading up to it that I have observed in the past. It's hard to describe how I observe them, but the best I can say is that I look at and am aware of the patterns as they play out in forms or structures I can't really describe.

**5. In what situations is timing important? How do you know the time is right to act? How do you feel about waiting for the right moment?**

Situations that demand for timing right in the moment are important and I know this based on how others time themselves to act and the type of act that I have to do in the context of other things happening at the same time. However, I am not really comfortable or familiar with timing in the long horizon of events. Same can be said about waiting for the right moment.

**Meta-analysis:**

Oh yeah, I definitely think q3 was something I thought long and hard on, because I feel like there was nothing and everything I wanted to say, but I had to stop for a bit to pick out something in my mind. I also noticed that when I typed out the words, "undescribable", it doesn't exist, compared to "nondescribable", because of the red underline below it, which was pretty interesting. I seem to sometimes use words that don't really exist, but still say them because they make sense in the context of the things I talk about.

FYI, I also got bored so many times writing this, because it was so long and scrolled constantly to the end to see how much I was making progress, and even took breaks to recollect my thoughts or just because my energy and mood was not up for it lmao.

Thanks though for taking the time to learn all of this, I will stick around for feedback!
