TRUE TYPES POST #8: CHRISTIAN
DISC: Primary I profile; result: I (D)(C), slot 5
SOJT type: Se-f/Fe-n (more than one type)
*Note: I had another thought that Christian might have been S-f with an undifferentiated attitude, but the function analysis goes better with what I wrote
MBTI type most resonant: ESFP is this type. ENFJ also resonates, but not as strongly, and is clearly secondary
What were you like in high school?
Well, I went to a high school that specialized in music, and everyone had some kind of a music background. As a result, there really weren't any cliques, per se. There were just people who were easy to like, and people who were hard to like. I was one of the easy ones. I was also quite athletic and into fitness
What is your greatest fear? What do you do to address it?
My greatest fear is that I'll lose control of my health. I have sickle cell disease, and it's hard to monitor. But I have really worked on getting it under control, and doing sensible things to keep it under control
Was there a time in your life where you felt you hit rock bottom? What was the situation behind it?
I feel like I hit rock bottom every time a woman wants to end her relationship with me. I've dated so many women, and it always seems we break up, and she's the one who wants to break up, not me. I recently had a chat with my brother Arvid about this. Arvid said I'm doing nothing wrong on my end. The women are just immature. I don't know for sure how true that is
Where would you put yourself on the social spectrum, and why?
I think most people would consider me an extrovert, however I can be shy, and I usually do more listening than talking in a conversation, so I say I'm an ambivert
What are some things that really bother you?
It really bothers me when people are cruel, or when they suddenly turn on me and don't want to be my friend anymore. It also bothers me when people don't take me seriously. Yeah, I do joke around a lot, but I'm serious more often than not
What, would you say, are your biggest strengths?
I would say I'm nice, kind, warm and friendly, empathetic, highly honest and real, and good at bringing life to dull situations
What, would you say, are your biggest weaknesses?
I give up pretty easily. I need others to help me hang in there. I'm also bad at planning and highly disorganized
When you switch your attitude between introverted and extroverted, or vise versa, what are you like?
When I'm introverted, I tend to be one of two ways. Sometimes, I am suspicious of everything, and I have to question people and things and test them. Sometimes, I am depressed, and I feel bad about myself. I start to question myself, how people view me, and how I am as a person
What was the hardest thing you ever had to do? Why was it so hard?
The hardest thing I ever had to do was deal with my father's death at a very young age. I think it had a profound effect on who I am today
What are you like when you're sad?
I'm sad in private. I cry a lot. I shut myself off while I'm crying. Nothing special
How masculine/feminine do you feel in relation to others of your gender?
I feel about average. I feel more feminine in a way, because I'm touchy-feely. I feel more masculine in a way, because I'm really big, strong and muscular. So I guess this balance each other out
Here's 4 focuses you can have in life: tasks, people, objects and ideas. Which one would be your primary focus and why? Which one would be your secondary focus and why?
That's an interesting question 🤔 I think I have two primary focuses, that I go back and forth between. Sometimes, objects are first. When they are, people are second. This would be like when I'm working on music, or something that involves me being active and using my hands, I will kind of put people on hold. Sometimes, on the other hand, people are first. When they are, objects get put on hold. Also I think when people are first, I believe ideas are second, not objects. And oh, yes, tasks don't matter much ever
What do you do to have fun?
I like to have fun by being active, going new places, and meeting new people. I love to explore. It invigorates me.
What was the nicest thing you ever did for someone, and why did you do it?
Honestly, I do nice things for people all the time. And I do it so often, it's hard for me to say which one of those nice things was the nicest. I really don't know how to answer this
