nnngh-worthy stuff and personality types
Hitting burnout and reaching a point where I annoy the fuck out of myself when a tinny little voice in my head goes "no one likes meeeee I suckkkkkkk and I will always suckkkkk please give me validationnnnnn". It's fucking annoying, let me tell you. It has a lot to do with my attempts to not kill myself with overwork and changing "write 6000 words this weekend" to "write this section of that 6000 word essay this weekend, and also do edits on your 5000 word Essay of Doom, and also edit your friend's thesis". The second one sounds like more work but I know it's less and I feel guilty even though I know I have like 2 more weekends to write that essay and I really shouldn't rush it while I still have doubts.
I hate my brain. A lot.
IN NICER/FUNNIER NEWS, I have been distracted by friends when they are doing personality types for themselves. And then I distracted myself with trying to personality-type Sean and Viggo- or at least, how I see them.
This is me: INTJ. (Also called 'The Scientist', which makes me wonder if I'm an anomaly since I can't do science well.)
INTJs live in the world of ideas and strategic planning. They value intelligence, knowledge, and competence, and typically have high standards in these regards, which they continuously strive to fulfill. To a somewhat lesser extent, they have similar expectations of others.
INTJs focus their energy on observing the world, and generating ideas and possibilities... Their mind constantly gathers information and makes associations about it... their primary interest is not understanding a concept, but rather applying that concept in a useful way. INTJs are driven to come to conclusions about ideas. Their need for closure and organization usually requires that they take some action.
This is so stupidly true that I am getting annoyed at a personality test for pinning me down so effectively. Seriously. My biggest problem with Literature as a discipline is that whenever I read a book, I'm less concerned with what they're doing than how they do it. I literally go "how do I write about this theme my own way?" For example, I'm less interested in the full, sprawling significance/concepts of silence than how I can actually use it in fic or fiction as a whole.
It's a very self-centered kind of thinking, honestly. When I grasp a concept, I'm less interested in finding out every nuance of it than to make new nuances of my own. It annoys my professors a lot, especially when I do historical literature. Might be why my English Renaissance professor is usually annoyed with me.
INTJs spend a lot of time inside their own minds, and may have little interest in the other people's thoughts or feelings. Unless their Feeling side is developed, they may have problems giving other people the level of intimacy that is needed. Unless their Sensing side is developed, they may have a tendency to ignore details which are necessary for implementing their ideas.
There is something extremely disturbing when a piece of text that's supposed to apply to a huge group of people (less than 2% of the population; apparently INTJ is one of the rarest types in the world, but that's still millions) just manages to pin me down so very, very effectively.
I have to say though, I am not empathic at all, but I can understand all the reasons why a person might act a certain way intuitively. And then I just shrug and not get upset about it. It's them, I'm me, it's not their fault, it's not mine, whatever.
Consequently, they are quick to express judgments. Often they have very evolved intuitions, and are convinced that they are right about things. Unless they complement their intuitive understanding with a well-developed ability to express their insights, they may find themselves frequently misunderstood. In these cases, INTJs tend to blame misunderstandings on the limitations of the other party, rather than on their own difficulty in expressing themselves.
THIS IS ME AND SOME OF MY PROFESSORS AND CLASSMATES. SERIOUSLY.
Other people may have a difficult time understanding an INTJ. They may see them as aloof and reserved. Indeed, the INTJ is not overly demonstrative of their affections, and is likely to not give as much praise or positive support as others may need or desire. That doesn't mean that he or she doesn't truly have affection or regard for others, they simply do not typically feel the need to express it.
NOPE.
On a less self-centered note, have Viggo as an ISFP, The Artist. Also, these are entirely viewed by my own perspective. I'm not saying that they are really like that, but this is just how I usually write/see them.
ISFPs live in the world of sensation possibilities. They are keenly in tune with the way things look, taste, sound, feel and smell. They have a strong aesthetic appreciation for art, and are likely to be artists in some form, because they are unusually gifted at creating and composing things which will strongly affect the senses. They have a strong set of values, which they strive to consistently meet in their lives. They need to feel as if they're living their lives in accordance with what they feel is right, and will rebel against anything which conflicts with that goal.
ISFPs have a strong affinity for aesthetics and beauty. They're likely to be animal lovers, and to have a true appreciation for the beauties of nature. They're original and independent, and need to have personal space.
ISFPs are action-oriented individuals. They are "doers", and are usually uncomfortable with theorizing concepts and ideas, unless they see a practical application. They learn best in a "hands-on" environment, and consequently may become easily bored with the traditional teaching methods, which emphasize abstract thinking. They do not like impersonal analysis, and are uncomfortable with the idea of making decisions based strictly on logic. Their strong value systems demand that decisions are evaluated against their subjective beliefs, rather than against some objective rules or laws. This whole paragraph had me going "... Viggo's Perceval Press, man."
Also, the next four paragraphs are perfect for how I see Viggo.
ISFPs are extremely perceptive and aware of others. They constantly gather specific information about people, and seek to discover what it means. They are usually penetratingly accurate in their perceptions of others.
ISFPs are warm and sympathetic. They genuinely care about people, and are strongly service-oriented in their desire to please. They have an unusually deep well of caring for those who are close to them, and are likely to show their love through actions, rather than words.
ISFPs have no desire to lead or control others, just as they have no desire to be led or controlled by others. They need space and time alone to evaluate the circumstances of their life against their value system, and are likely to respect other people's needs for the same.
The ISFP is likely to not give themself enough credit for the things which they do extremely well. Their strong value systems can lead them to be intensely perfectionist, and cause them to judge themselves with unneccesary harshness.
Relationships:
ISFPs are warmhearted, gentle people who take their commitments seriously, and seek lifelong relationships. They are very private people, who keep their true feelings and opinions reserved or hidden from others... ISFPs go to great lengths to please their partners. They're very loyal and supportive, with a deep capacity for love. They detest conflict and discord, and highly value being seen and understood for who they are. They need space to live their lives in their own unique way, and will respect other's need for space.
I am not saying anything more about the previous paragraph, man. It's so subjective that I am not touching it.
And Sean is an INFJ, otherwise known as 'The Protector'. The rarest of all personality types, according to this site.
INFJs place great importance on havings things orderly and systematic in their outer world. They put a lot of energy into identifying the best system for getting things done, and constantly define and re-define the priorities in their lives. On the other hand, INFJs operate within themselves on an intuitive basis which is entirely spontaneous. They know things intuitively, without being able to pinpoint why, and without detailed knowledge of the subject at hand. They are usually right, and they usually know it. This sentence just perfectly describes what everyone says about Sean's acting technique, man. Consequently, INFJs put a tremendous amount of faith into their instincts and intuitions.
... most INFJs are protective of their inner selves, sharing only what they choose to share when they choose to share it. They are deep, complex individuals, who are quite private and typically difficult to understand. INFJs hold back part of themselves, and can be secretive.
INFJs are rarely at complete peace with themselves - there's always something else they should be doing to improve themselves and the world around them. They believe in constant growth, and don't often take time to revel in their accomplishments. They have strong value systems, and need to live their lives in accordance with what they feel is right. In deference to the Feeling aspect of their personalities, INFJs are in some ways gentle and easy going. Conversely, they have very high expectations of themselves, and frequently of their families. They don't believe in compromising their ideals.
Relationships:
They are perfectionists, constantly striving to achieve the Perfect Relationship. This can sometimes be frustrating to their mates, who may feel put upon by the INFJs demanding perfectionism. However, it may also be greatly appreciated, because it indicates a sincere commitment to the relationship, and a depth of caring which is not usually present in other types.
Sexually, INFJs view intimacy as a nearly spiritual experience. They embrace the opportunity to bond heart and soul with their mates. As service-oriented individuals, it's very important to them that their mates are happy. Intimacy is an opportunity for the INFJ to selflessly give their love, and experience it in a tangible way.
Like I said with Viggo's section, NOT. GOING THERE. >_>

It's a problem with too much academia when I feel like I have to put in quotes to justify my own section of the personality description, much less Viggo and Sean's. Holy shit.
Also, HAVE FUN if you want to take the test yourself. 8D
