Question #1192550599Tuesday, 16-Oct-2007
Category: Typing
I have always tested as an ISTJ using the Myers-Briggs/Keirsey models of personality testing. When trying to figure out my Socionic type I find it hard to decide between j/p. I want to make sure I get this correct so I'll provide some of what I know about myself and some things others have said about me. Physical Description: Slender/Athletic Build Oval Shaped Face w/High Cheekbones Almond Shaped Eyes I have a big smile, but sometimes remind myself of the joker when I smile because the corners of my mouth curl up. * I walk fast-paced, tend to hold my shoulders and back straight when walking and in public seating. I have been told (by my hubby) that I "grab" the room's attention when in a public place and that I have a graceful air about me. Yet, many times feel foreign in my own body. *I like people, but find that being around them drains me. It's almost as if they are feeding off my life force. I have to have some uninterrupted privacy in order to recharge. *I hate it when people beat around the bush. Give me the straight answer or I'm just going to stare at you like your an bumbling idiot and then probably make a snide remark. *I'm a hands on person and have enjoyed bartending and IT Tech work though not my only jobs. I tend to get dissatisfied with jobs when I'm not recognized for my abilities. Also, I'll walk through a store when shopping and touch things...if I don't like the way they feel I won't buy them. *I have a bad temper, but it takes a lot to make it show. When it does I have been known to throw things and be very aggressive, which I have grown out of some over the past couple years. Yet, I'm told that I shoot from the hip (by the hubby). Also, when attacked by said husband I was very passive and it saved me from further injury. * This will probably be thrown out since it's not scientific, but I'm an Aries-Tuarus Cusp born on April 21st. Jahari Window Results: Arena (Known to self & Others) - Independent, Proud Blind Spot (Known only to others) - able, bold, confident, dignified, energetic, friendly, happy, helpful, intelligent, knowledgeable, organised, powerful, self-assertive Facade (Known only to Self) - complex, self-conscious, tense, witty Unknown (Known to Nobody) - accepting, adaptable, brave, calm, caring, cheerful, clever, dependable, extroverted, giving, idealistic, ingenious, introverted, kind, logical, loving, mature, modest, nervous, observant, patient, quiet, reflective, relaxed, religious, responsive, searching, sensible, sentimental, shy, silly, spontaneous, sympathetic, trustworthy, warm, wise The big questions I have are: What Socionics type am I? Why the contradictions with some of my traits? I've had one test say that I'm about 50/50 on E/I and T/F. Another test tell me that I am moderate on I/S and distinct on T/J. Does someone maintain the same personality type throughout their life or can it change over long period of time (i.e. 10+)? -- Dillinger

A1 i think socionics types are the starting XXX, only observed in conditions of utter stillness[YYY]. It remains the same. Yet mechanisms employed in society are followed and pursued by our instinct. You can maintain your learned instincts. FOr instance...this 'maintainance of maintained insticts'...is sometimes lost by me-sirac, and i have to regroup (although, regrouping is not an exclusive [I] thing, [E's] do it to), i tend to regroup tending toward mental activity...u seem to regroup by maintaining your S flow. (by the way, with all your confusion over mental metabolism types, S seems to be accepted as static by you..remember, tests only measure properly under ideal static situations...and if a test ever says u N, u might want to consider that your instincts anchored to your S in conjuction with your primary PorJ reinforced by your mental accessing T of situations..might seem to give such a flow). Thats all from me, u may use those presidents i just described to figure out your own stuff. I will tell u my opinion on this, S and T look static, and u can know to work with those..i mean u already do, u have good acting and resting and mental and person instincts...u can just confirm yourself in these by knowing your S and T. But, the E and I and J and P is irrelevant. Infact E and I is virtually irrelevant to all socionics types, as it does'ent serve much purpose..seeing especially as people who move in life tend to grasp communication concepts which breach the E and I thing, and make that concept look static (except for behaviourisms..but mental and social flow is not something to be dictated by E or I flow..it's only necassary for proper regrouping and as a stimulus for idiot infected I's who initially struggle with social-ness in society, and incidentally for E's who need to balance out by knowing to look for a proper I counterpart..but after that, my opinion is that I and E is irrelevant, and as such u do not need to be absolutely sure yourself,just follow your practices, it is in any case what we all strive to do and find..good on u Dillinger). is J and P irrelevant. proberly too, but i should'ent really answer that cause i am bias toward P (cause i am an intP), but J's should be amazing with life flow capacity too, infact J types are proberly primarily responsible for human evolu-ti-onics, as they proberly first searched to stabilize 'mental/social flow characteristics' as u described. hey, i believe an INTJ will proberly type u as J on that characture, but that's irrelevant, i as a P would also not exclude myself from that brightness. Chow enjoy life, u seem to be searching to hard for something it is doubtable that u need. -- @sirac
