PERSONALITY

Psychological Evaluations of Real Societal Observations on Natural Areas of Legitimate Interest To Youth PERSONALITY is just a fancy backronym that means I'm obsessed with analyzing stuff that I come across in my daily life- mostly people and...

Fanfiction is the madwoman in mainstream culture’s attic, but the attic won’t contain it forever. Writing and reading fanfiction isn’t just something you do; it’s a way of thinking critically about the media you consume, of being aware of all the implicit assumptions that a canonical work carries with it, and of considering the possibility that those assumptions might not be the only way things have to be.

Did a silly little thing to illustrate some differences between extraverted feeling and introverted feeling!

Fandoms and gay ships tipped them off XD

MBTI Types In the Zombie Apocalypse

requested by huggingthedaleks

ESTP: goes on zombie-killing adrenaline-driven tirades, almost enjoying themselves

ISTP: stays away from packs of people and survives on their own

ENTP: attempts to find a way into another dimension to escape the zombies

INTP: has the best ideas for survival plans, but doesn’t act on them until it’s already too late

ENFP: attempts to convince everyone through a lot of yelling that love can unite the remaining humans to defeat the zombies

INFP: like ENFP, but with no yelling and some tear-filled moving speeches

ENFJ: organizes the remaining population and tries to find a place to go where everyone can be safe

INFJ: tries to cling to hope, has random moments of badassery

ENTJ: has an actual large-scale plan to defeat the zombies, but has some trouble convincing others to go along with it

INTJ: has an actual large-scale plan to defeat the zombies, but doesn’t tell anyone

ESTJ: takes leadership positions, attempting to rationally organize everyone according to the survival plans they’ve had in place for decades

ISTJ: goes along with who they believe will best ensure their survival

ESFJ: constantly asks if everyone’s okay, trying to make the new post-apocalyptic world seem as close as possible to the previous ways of life

ISFJ: helps with gathering food and taking care of small children

ESFP: has regular panic attacks, and in general has trouble being quiet

ISFP: often stays close to camp, discussing things with the few they trust, and then spontaneously goes on solo zombie hunts

Relationships and the INFJ

LOVE IS: The quest for, above all else, a soul-mate. INFJs are interested only in the perfect relationship.

FALLS IN LOVE: Slowly. With their head first and then with all their heart. INFJs have a depth of caring not usually found in others.

FALLS OUT OF LOVE: Can leave a relationship once they’re sure it’s over. A partner who violates the INFJ’s values will be cut off forever.

INTIMACY: A near-spiritual experience of bonding heart and soul. It’s important for INFJs to know that their mates are happy.

COMMITMENT: Seeks a lifelong, committed relationship. INFJs approach their intimate relationships quite seriously.

MOST SATISFIED WITH: A partner who respects their deeply held values and and who appreciates their creativity and inspiration.

A life with no adventure in it is boring. The least a friend can do is stir up a little trouble in your heart.

I don’t believe in cheating to get to the end of the race, but my definition of cheating might not be your definition of it. You might call what I do cutting corners, but I would say it's just taking a shortcut.

We’re all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that’s all.

Would you guys mind helping out my friend? She’s looking for bilingual English and Spanish speakers to take this short survey. It’s really fast, I promise, and it’s pretty entertaining too. It’s about swear words in English vs. swear words in Spanish.

People say that the easiest thing to do is to give up. Bullshit. It’s the hardest thing to do. You can never forgive yourself for the things you did not become.

looking healthy does not mean:

 petite, curvy, small, large,muscular, slim, pretty, well dressed, sweating from the gym…etc

looking healthy means:

 eyes sparkling, real smiling and laughter, skin that glows, a functioning alert body and radiating contentment and positivity about yourself.

Seriously cannot say this enough.

[psych-facts]

If you can extend your horizons, the things happening to you might look surprisingly small. So, don’t be scared… Confidently, put yourself out there.

Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.

Kurt Vonnegut (via

)

About this: there is a general consensus that optimism ignores the reality of the world. That to see the beauty in life and to be positive means one has not seen pain and difficulty. That it is only for the superficial and the naive.

No. Optimism is not always a perspective but a mindset. It takes in the world as it is…tragedy and pain included…but chooses to intentionally find good when it is least present, to fight bitterness and resentment when it is easier to give in, to remain kind when the world is not kind to you….

That is harder than anything because you do not to sit on the sidelines and throw rocks at life but walk the path and even smile, despite the rocks being thrown at you.

is "dark optimism" a term you coined? For a while now, I've been looking for a term like that. Most people have a hard time understanding how anyone can both accept the cruelty of the world and be optimistic. Do you like reading works by Camus and Dostoevsky (people who would probably call themselves dark optimists as well)? - INFJ

Honestly, I just called it that intuitively because the terms made sense combined together, but I just did a google search, and it is an actual term (One of the many other things my Ni probably just picked up and put together and understood without me being conscious of it, haha). I mean, it is dark in the sense that there is pain and suffering involved instead of sunshine and unicorns.

I have not read any Camus or Dostoevsky…I will actually go to the library today. I keep meaning to at least read The Stranger. Any other recommendations? You gave me a brilliant idea to combine a reading list.
