What personality type are you?

[Kathyxbts]

I’m an INFP-T, a Mediator.

I would say I’m very much living in my head. And base a lot of what I do off my emotions. I cannot stand mistreatment of any sort.
I’m an introvert but I know how to socialise, I like to have just a couple friends that I can feel comfortable with.
I used to get bullied at school for day dreaming all day every day. I got called the lost girl. Which wasn’t very nice.
I’m too empathetic and I literally can’t sleep at night sometimes knowing what some people have had to go through.
I guess you can say that l have an obsession with story writing. I love creativity, and using my imagination to the fullest.
I also do not like putting on a personality, I am always being myself no matter what.
My negative traits are that I’m very much an unrealistic person when it comes to romance, I imagine scenarios at night about guys I have just met 😅

I also have massive self esteem issues, I do not think of myself as being good at anything. Which has contributed to my depression. I do not like anything about myself. And people say ‘oh you’re such a pick me girl’ when I literally don't like myself at all, it’s not a fake feeling. And I usually keep these feelings to myself anyway, how could I get attention from it when no one knows it? Lol
I also isolate myself sometimes to the point where I get caught up in my own feelings and develop them into negative thoughts.

ANYWAY ENOUGH ABOUT ME.

I would love to hear what personality type is and your traits please 🙂

ISFP-T, Adventurer. According to the results, I’m 91% introverted, and I tend to prefer fewer, yet deep and meaningful, social interactions and often feel drawn to calm environments. I value emotional expression and sensitivity. I place a lot of importance on empathy, social harmony and cooperation. I’m self conscious and sensitive to stress.


I don’t do schedules and routines, I take life day by day and do what feels right in the moment. I believe in giving people and situations second chances. I need a lot of alone time to recharge, and often only spend time with people that I have a deep connection to.


Unfortunately this all comes with easily getting stressed and fluctuating self esteem, which effects a lot in my life.

[Kathyxbts]

I see! We are quite similar

[Kathyxbts]

Do you find that you are very understanding of peoples emotions and feelings?

[petitedollbabee]

Definitely.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Personality type tests always fail to deacribe me properly.

[Kathyxbts]

It can be like that sometimes, do you answer the questions while you are with other people? I find that helpful

[TheSpaceGnome]

No it's like that all the time, because those tests are horribly inaccurate since there aren't any simple standards for personality types in real life.

There are hundreds of thousands of types of personality, any test that only shows a few will always be "playing the lottery" as to whether or not anyone using it happens to fit the exact criteria of any of the few they listed.

Amseering ut around other people isn't going to make a difference unless you are one of those people who lie to yourself about what kind of perso you are, bit even then, others aren't going to know you better than you know yourself, because if you lie to yourself, thats going to get reflected in how you act around others, and then their perception of you will be based on lies too.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Answering it around other people*

[Kathyxbts]

Everyone has their different views on things. I find that the personality test has helped me to see what i can work on. I like it but I guess it isn’t everyones cup of tea

[TheSpaceGnome]

I prefer understanding myself from my own subjective point of view, so that I can know fully how to fulfill my desires. I reject the idea that there is a point to trying to change who I am partially or wholly.

[Kathyxbts]

That is a really good point actually. I think some people don’t like to be categorised either, we are all our own people

[TheSpaceGnome]

I have no issue with catagories, but if people are going to catagorize things, it should be accurate.

In the real world, there are far more personality types than any test has ever had, and its probably impossible for any one test maker to know them all, so it makes more sense for people to catagorize their own personalities, rather than look at types that others wrote down.

[Kathyxbts]

I get that. Are you saying every person has their own personality and there is no such thing as a certain type?

[TheSpaceGnome]

I'm saying that tests tend to have 5 to 15 personality types, and that there are at least several hundred thousand types of personalities in reality. Many if which are going to be more common or exclusive to certain time periods, social clicks, or cultures.

When making personality tests, the maker is subject to their own bias as to why anyone does or thinks anything, because they try to logically think out each personality's reasoning.

But the thing is, people have different ways of thinking, different lines of logic, different values, different sets of knowledge and comprehension and preferences and experiences and points of interest or apathy, and so no single person is ever going to be able to make a list of how everyone thinks.

One person may do a good deed because they believe in karma, another may do it because they fear retaliation, another may do it because its a rule in their religion, snother may do it to problem solve, or to get rid of the person they are helping, or to get a reward, or just because they can, or to prove a point, or to boost ego, or for no reason at all because they didn't think about it much, etc, etc, x a million.

And thats just one choice. Now add that logic to every choice you have ever made, it creates an incomprehensible line of domino effect thats impossible to decipher.

[TheSpaceGnome]

As such, its very rare to find a person with the same personality as you. Because people are far more complex than those tests would imply.

[WhitneySnow]

I’m the same thing!

[Kathyxbts]

Do you find that you live in your head a lot of the time?

[WhitneySnow]

Yes!

[Kathyxbts]

It’s a problem aye, you become unrealistic and sometimes your scenarios you make up in your head just take over 😩 well that’s what happens with me anyway

[WhitneySnow]

Me too!

[Kkoalalita]

Same here. The mediator🤍

[Kathyxbts]

Do you get along with more with guys or girls?

[Kkoalalita]

Girls

[Kathyxbts]

Aw damn I’m the opposite, are you your complete self around girls?

[Kkoalalita]

Well it has nothing to do with genders but usually if I just meet someone I’m gonna be a little reserved

That’s interesting!! My little brother is an INTP, and he is very much inclined to follow his head rather than his heart. Are you the same?
