Been trying to figure this out. I'm pretty sure I know where I stand now, but it would still be nice to have some outside opinions. Let me break it down:
Relationships are not my thing, especially of the romantic variety. I often feel like I don't connect with people, even among those who I've known for some time. I greatly dislike groups of people. I've been known to ditch both groups of friends and individuals for no apparent reason at all. They might not have understood, but for me, it was necessary to the eliminate the bias that came from being a part of these groups. My goal in letting them go was to discover myself, and my own perspective, based on my reasoning and reflection. I have never wanted to be defined by anything outside of me.
I do greatly value harmony and good relationships. I'm very nice to people, because I don't see the point in being mean. I do not like arguing, fighting, or bad feelings unless it is absolutely necessary. I avoid these things at all costs. I have and can make great sacrifices for those I care about. I find it pretty easy to be socially... proper, although if I have no interest in someone, I'll probably just ignore them. I do not like people wasting my time.
I'm still very sensitive, and can be very emotional, though I try to keep it under the reins as much as possible. I'm not one to cry in public, or to have fits of uncontrollable rage. That's just stupid to me-- animalistic.
I am not confrontational. I don't always say things directly, even though I should sometimes.
At times, people's feelings matter to me more than the logic of the situation. I don't like hurting others. I don't always exactly feel what other people are feeling, because at times it is impossible, but I want to help them as much I can.
I am partly motivated in life by the knowledge that I'm contributing to a greater good (making the world a better place), and partly by the satisfaction that comes from knowing I did my work for the day. The things that make me feel good, at peace, happy: knowing that I accomplished something that day, like homework; getting to spend a lot of time by myself, doing the things I like to do in a tranquil environment; spending time with the people I actually care about.
I thirst for meaning. I'm constantly looking for it in the things I do, but often cannot find it. This upsets me greatly, and I can sink to lowest lows at times. When I get sad, it's almost like reliving the bouts of major depression I've been through at least twice in my life. The only difference between then and now is that it goes away faster, and I don't feel quite as helpless.
I greatly enjoy my time alone, but at the same time, wish it was easier for me to connect with people. I get the "alone in a crowd" feeling fairly often. At these times, I wish I was like the friends I have for whom it is very easy to be social, and to find things they have in common with people. Feelings of being, not just lonely, but alone are present at times, despite the fact I know I am not.
I have not felt completely understood save but with less than a handful of people in my life. One of these people I was half in love with, but I fucked that up. I tend to fuck up the meaningful relationships I have with women I'm attracted to. I don't know why.
I'm very motivated to understand the way the world works through science. I'm very grateful I've found science because, where religion did nothing for me, science is showing me that there is order and balance to existence, to the universe, and that thought is one of great comfort for me. I cannot even express.
Well, that's it for now. You can cast your ballot. Just for fun, feel free to describe your existence from the perspective of your type, just to compare
