About You
Describe your personality:
INTP/J - I always tend to switch between INTP/J.
Analytical, Independent Thinker - comes from my INTP/J crossover, I can be both.
Ambitious, independent, and driven to achieve excellence. INTP/J's excel at strategizing and planning to accomplish goals, often challenge authority and can be deeply skeptical. Set very high standards for themselves and others. Confident, intellectual, and can be fiercely competitive (boy, this one is so true). Not really concerned about harmony or the importance of feelings, although, I feel very strongly about justice and always want thing to be fair.
Also flexible, open-minded and can be charming and very good company.
"likes solitude, not revealing, very independent, unemotional, rule breaker, avoidant, familiar with the darkside, skeptical, acts without consulting others, observer, perfectionist, detached, private ... does not talk about feelings, hard to impress, analytical, animal lover"
Enneagram Type 1 - The Reformer // Enneagram Type 5 - The Investigator.
With some Type 8 - The Challenger mixed into it
People of this personality type are essentially unwilling to be controlled, either by others or by their circumstances; they fully intend to be masters of their fate. Eights are strong willed, decisive, practical, tough minded and energetic.
Eights have a hard time lowering their defenses in intimate relationships.
When severely provoked, or when the personality is unbalanced, bouts of anger can turn into rages.
I'm not unbalanced, but I can get very angry, it's rare though, so if you don't severely provoke me, there's nothing to worry about.
Positive qualities:
Passionate about life and the things I am interested in, sympathetic/supportive/protective - I feel for others, even though I am not the touchy-feely kind of person and probably wouldn't hug you, I understand what you are going through. I push others forward. I have strong protective instincts, when it comes to the defense of family and friends, no one messes with the people I care about. I am a believer, an idealist, I believe in everybody and I believe in change.
Ambitious, resourceful, creative, able to perceive and read people well, imaginative, outspoken, independent, intelligent, loyal to the very few people who deserve it, caring, honest and trustworthy (if you trust me with something I will never ever betray your trust, even if we have a nasty fight and become enemies for life), determined, curious.
Negative qualities:
Unyielding, a "bit" temperamental (when severely provoked) - I'm very stubborn and I'll back down when hell freezes over and if you're equally stubborn and will continue to oppose me, even after I calmly try to make you see, try to explain to you and make you back down or reach a compromise, it will definitely not end well, especially if you're standing between me and something I desire dearly. I'll defend my principles vigorously, it's not my fault if people are stupid enough to stand in my way. I also tend to get very temperamental when someone disagrees with me on a thing I feel strongly about, I'll try to change the person's view on the subject, because I tend to think my way is the best way and it's obviously not, I am open-minded, but I also rush into things from time to time.
Sarcastic, unable to forget (I do forgive to a certain extent), too forceful sometimes, a little impatient, selfish.
Neutral qualities:
The difference between good and bad, morals. Well, morality is subjective and you can look at things from different angles.
Stubborn/determined - it's a good thing most of the time, I stick with what I think/do. I always stand my ground and go through everything to achieve my goal.
A hard time trusting people.
Workaholic - when I am interested in something, I really focus on it and get things done.
Fair, a need to uphold justice, secretive, sometimes a little arrogant, obsessive about things I want/wish to achieve, adventurous, argumentative, unhealthy love of debates. xD
I can also be very curious, so curious I can get my ass kicked for sticking my nose into the things I shouldn't. I love it though, it's one of my guilty pleasures. :P
Likes:
I like to read, spend time at the library and in the nature, animals, learn about different things, draw, puzzles, writing, photoshop, classical music. Poetry, creating things, arguing/debating, thunderstorms, art, museums, fog.
Philosophy, Psychology, Medicine, Science, different languages. I love to travel as-well.
I am also a fan of discussions. I like to ramble on and on about things and convey my opinion on others. Listen what others have to say, what they think about the issue. It's interesting and keeps me a bit more open-minded. There are many ways of looking at things.
Dislikes/Pet Peeves:
No organization, people who have low standards for themselves, ignorance, immaturity, perverted people, the ones who talk a lot about random things no one cares about, I prefer constructive debates and talk about things that are interesting, I'm not by all means a far of gossip.
People who are full of themselves and keep talking about how great they are.
People who talk before they think.
People who don't respect your privacy.
People who are intolerant of the beliefs and opinions of others; unreceptive to new ideas.
- The really up-tight types, stressing and flipping out when something goes wrong/the ones who blow things out of proportion.
- I dislike prejudiced people. It's okay with me, if someone has tried something, lived through it and formed him opinion on that, but I dislike it when they form their opinion based on what others think and what others do, don't even try to see for themselves.
It's like some people can't think for themselves and aren't even open-minded enough to try it. It's annoying.
- I hate it when people get so worked up about what others think, it makes no sense, those people don't matter. And no matter what you say to them they care so fucking much, it's sickening. Screw others and what their idiotic opinion is and just be yourself, don't care about what they think and live your life to the fullest, it's yours and yours alone, why waste it to "please others" and do what others think is "acceptable".
Strengths: Emotional strength is the most important of all, a need to achieve and make something out of life, live life to the fullest and my imagination. My independence and the fact, that I always rely on myself.
Weaknesses: Trust issues (I have a real hard time trusting people), selfish. (see negative qualities)
This or That
Optimistic or Pessimistic: I have a realistic view, a bit more optimistic than pessimistic.
Realistic or Idealistic: IDEALISTIC, definitely.
If you can think of it, you can make it real. I have a realistic view on things, but I am more drawn to the way things can be, other than the way they are. Why would you settle for something that is now, why wouldn't you go for what can be, what can happen, an ideal you can make real?
I could ramble on forever, but I'll just leave it at this.
Introverted or Extroverted: Introverted. I like spending time with a few friends, I'm more of a loner, I need my privacy and time for myself.
Brave or Safe: Brave. There is an adventure out there and you want me to sit here on the couch with a book?
Selfish or Selfless: Selfish and not proud of it, but I take care of myself first. People tend to take advantage of you if you put them first.
Stoic or Emotional: Stoic, but empathetic.
Trusting or Cynical: I don't trust, but I am not really cynical. I have my moments, but I try to withdraw from people when I'm feeling bitchy so I do or say things that I'd regret.
Brains or Brawn: I consider myself more of a brainy person.
Cheerful or Melancholy: More cheerful, but I have my melancholy moments. I've learned not to focus on the bad things that happen/ed in my life.
Impulsive or Cautious: I can be both really, depends on the situation, but I am a bit more impulsive. Still, when it comes to some things I like to plan ahead and be careful.
Modest or Vain: A bit more modest.
Independent or Dependent: Very independent.
Uptight or Laidback: Laidback mostly, but get a bit uptight when I have to achieve a goal.
Funny or Serious: I'm a serious person mostly, but I can also be insanely fun to be around, when I get to know you and open up.
Harry Potter
You have to venture deep into the Forbidden Forest one night. Pick one Harry Potter character other than Hagrid and one object (muggle or magical), besides your wand, that you'd want with you.
Errr ... okay. I'm going into the forest because ... ? :)
1) Detention. Yeah, probably because of the dark arts, so my head of house wanted to give me the taste of something really dark.
Someone else who seems to get into trouble a lot to share this detention with me? Harry or maybe one of the Weasley twins or the younger Sirius (could turn into a dog - good smell, sense of hearing and courageous). They are all amazing and can take care of themselves, so I won't have a problem with them being bitchy, whiny and cowardly *cough*DracoMalfoy*cough*.
I'd be taking a broomstick, so we can escape whatever danger might be there, I think the teachers would agree, they wouldn't want dead students, now would they? :P
2) Investigating stuff.
Forbidden forest. "Forbidden" means "you have to look into this". So, I'm taking the younger Albus, because he's not the headmaster, so he doesn't know the forest that well and he's not that good with magic yet. It would be fun, he'd be a good investigating buddy.
Other option is the younger Snape, in case Al would give me a "must follow the rules" speech. *heh, isn't he adorable? * ^.^
Object = broom.
3) I'm going alone, because I like to investigate on my own and no one would hold me down.
Object = broom.
4) Am I spying on someone?
Because then I'd go alone and I'd take the cloak AND THEN NEVER RETURN IT! MWAHAHAHAHAH ... I am sorry I dropped your cloak somewhere deep in the forest. *sadface*
We could go and try to find it ... No? You don't want to risk it? Alright, as you wish.
... huh, what? I didn't say anything. ;)
Which HP character do you identify with most and why?
I don't identify with just one of them, I think for the most part it's a tie between Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald with some Narcissa Malfoy.
If Albus, Gellert and Cissa ever had a child together ... lol, imagine the awkwardness! XDD
Behold, the holly explanations of DOOM!!!
Albus Dumbledore
Let's start at the beginning. I have had pretty much the same life as he has, just that not both of my parents are dead and I don't have a brother or a sister, but I also had to deal with mental illnesses in the family and most of the time, even when I was little, I had to be the rock for others.
All this made me grow up way too soon, I also became more reserved, like Al did.
I have my own Elphias Doge, it's really ironic, I met her sort of the same way Al met Elphias, we weren't really friends from the beginning, but in the past year we sort of connected and now we're great friends.
We have a few traits in common: independence, confidence, we both like to help people (psychiatrist = my ideal job atm), I'm frank and direct, I don't sugarcoat things.
I have his way of talking about things - the letter he wrote to Gellert when he was young sound so much like something I would write. The way he presses the point and how he thinks things out, how he wanted to do things; it's my way of dealing with things and I see an awful lot of myself in him, especially the younger Albus, but I have the older Albus' reserved personality, I'm not as naive and trusting as the teenage Albus was.
I'm bossy like Albus, I like things my way (mostly). I can read people well, I have manipulative skills, although I don't ever try to manipulate people.
Then there comes the thirst for power. Ouch. I am drawn to it and if I could even have the Deathly Hallows I would. But I would choose the "good" side, like Albus. I would never resolve to killing people like Gellert did and I'm not a fan of his Hitler plans at all.
But IF I did by some "miracle" get so temped by power and the darkness, my choices would be the same as Gellert's.
And now for Gellert Grindelwald.
Again, I have to go with independence, we're both passionate, incredibly stubborn and curious, we love to investigate, we're drawn to the dark side.
I have his temperament, when I get really angry or if someone stands in my way, it is not pretty.
I could also push in a little Dumbledore here, because I won't attack immediately, I'd prefer to talk it out and reach a compromise, like Dumbles, but also like Dumbles I can get very angry with some things. (Once I got really annoyed at something and just had that cold look in my eyes for about 5 seconds, and a friend told me a while later that she got really scared. I thought she was crazy, but it kind of explains the thing that happens when Dumbledore gets angry.)
Back to Gellert. He's a loner, calculating, creative, driven and ambitious, like me. I'm also a little self-absorbed and selfish (about my future; I love to share things with others as long as I get my fair share), like Gellert was (not saying I'm proud of this). We share a love of the darkness, the dark arts, anything forbidden and exciting. We don't like to talk about our feelings, we are rule breakers (I'm probably not as big of a rule breaker as he was xD), skeptical, we often challenge authority and we act without consulting others.
We both love danger and fear very little (I for example fear losing my freedom, dying without leaving a mark behind, without making some sort of difference) and I think our fears are pretty much the same.
He got angry. He told me what a stupid little boy I was, trying to stand in the way of him and my brilliant brother . . . Didn't I understand ...
That sound so much like something I'd say, it's not even funny. Like some sort of weird reincarnation thing. >.>
I also think Gellert was trustworthy, he didn't betray Dumbles' trust and I think that deep inside he always cared for him. He didn't tell Voldemort anything because:
a) silly Voldie is silly. Come on people, the most feared of all? Really? Now that's simply stupid, he was just a psychopath, he wasn't that scary or horrible, he is dangerous and skillful, but I don't know, I don't see him as that big of a threat. >.>
b) he wanted to keep that little bit of him and Dumbles to himself and he saw that in the Elder wand. I think that he always cherished their friendship. ^^
Furthermore, he mocked Voldie. That's so much like me. xD
Another thing is that he fled. I'd be torn there, because my bright/Dumbledore side would want to stay with the real Al and be there for him when his sister died, but the Gellert side would want to go away and just disappear, forget about it and continue the research like nothing happened. After all, these were only 2 months, they don't mean anything (... right?). It'd be quite reasonable to flee, because if he didn't Aberforth would probably want revenge and then even he would die on poor Albus. (Yay, look at this. Another (silly?) theory. Gellert "ran away", because he wanted to "protect" Albus from himself and didn't want to cause any more pain.)
(Still thinking he's the bad guy?
Yeah, I guess you are.)
If I put myself in Gellert's shoes ...
I'd flee, get the hell away from it all and try to forget. Bury myself in the investigations and try to get the DH. Get drawn even more to the dark side, the power (which is definitely not a good thing, but hey - power.). There would be days when I would want to go back and tell Al how sorry I am for everything, but I won't because I would be ... afraid?
(Of getting hurt? Of him? Would he forgive me? Would he care?)
(What would I say? He would never forgive me. Why even try?)
So I go on with my "dream" and try to forget about it all. After years, when it all resolved to madness and so many people die, I start to feel sick with myself, it's not fun anymore and I want him to find me and bring me down.
He does come after a while, but I am not going down without a fight, because
1) I like challenges
2) I want to see how good he really is, I am curious, which one of us is better. Can he face me and bring me down?
3) I am way too proud to back down or admit, that I don't want this anymore.
*fast forward* Locked in my OWN prison! I have no freedom, I try to break it down and break free, but I can't. Every single day is torture, but deep inside I know I deserve it.
Too much time, just for myself, just me alone with my thoughts, I can't busy myself with other plans, so I'm forced to think about what I have done in life and the more I think about it, the worse I feel about myself. Slowly, I feel like I'm becoming insane, but I want to show Albus that I care, so I'm thankful Voldemort comes, so I can use this little gesture to show him (Al) I still respect him and that my affection towards him has never died. And yes, I actually want to die, because I've left a mark behind, I've done things in life and I don't want to live like this anymore, so I welcome death.
THE END.
DEEP, MISUNDERSTOOD PEOPLE FTW. &hearts
You're probably thinking I'm insane, because the facts are these:
Gellert manipulated little Al and little Al was naive, that's it. But I don't think so. I think that in every "evil" character there is something good and to me, Gellert seems realistic and human.
I did give him some of my traits to make him seem more "good", but I think this is the way he was. I don't think he was a psychopath who enjoyed killing, he just chose the wrong way, got poisoned by all the power. Poor thing. :(
I think this is like with Slytherins, bad stereotype, people only see the bad things that you have done, so much prejudice.
But they always seem to forget, that we're all people. The world isn't divided between heroes and villains, good and bad people. There is good in everyone and there is bad in everyone.
Your choices shape you and your life and show others who you are in the end.
And Narcissa for her need to protect her family and her loved ones, her loyalty, fierceness and her courage to go through everything to make sure they are safe and her drive to get it done no matter what.
What would you see if you looked into the Mirror of Erised?
You know, I used to think I'd see myself, successful and all that, but I don't know anymore.
I don't think I'd see myself with my parents/family, because it's in the past and it's not very dear to me, I've never wanted to be reunited with any of the people who have died.
I really don't know. Even though I know myself well, I don't know what the deepest desire of my heart is.
If you had the opportunity to live forever, but your family and friends did not, what would you choose?
Meh, I'm selfish and I would. >.>
Good thing you haven't mentioned your partner here, haha. I don't think I could live without my man (whoever he might be). Or if we had kids, seeing my child die would be kind of awkward. >.>
I wouldn't really have a hard time saying goodbye to my friends, there are a lot of people on this earth and I'd meet someone as amazing as they were eventually. And my family members will die when I'm still alive either way, so why not?
It would be amazing to live forever for the knowledge there is to gain, I could try myself out in EVERYTHING, try out every profession, read every single book, see how far the human race will come, what will happen in the future and really make the best of my (long) life.
One thing though, I'd like to choose when I die, so this "opportunity" would be either to possess the Philosopher's stone or the Hallows. That way I could live for as long as I wished, like Flamel and his wife did.
I really wouldn't want to live for thousands of years, it would get dull and I'd get tired of it all.
If you lived in the wizarding world, what profession would you choose?
There isn't much to choose from, is it? >.>
Hmm... Alchemy sounds very very appealing. I think this is most likely for me to get into. I love science and it's pretty much like potions and chemistry. :)
I wouldn't say no to a professor's job at Hogwarts (but only for a year or so), I can motivate people greatly and it would be fun to convey the knowledge. I'm not really a lover of children, but it would be nice, I'd like such an experience.
Suppose they have some sort of "psychiatry things" in the wizarding world as-well, I'd be interested in that, but not the nurse things, like that in St. Mungo's. I prefer real mental disorders, the scary ones; for example, I'd like to talk to Voldemort about everything, maybe get his brain scan ... he seems so interesting, I'd like to know how he thinks, how he feels about certain things, he's got that interesting psychopathic mind.
I suppose I'd also like to be an artist of some kind or an author. Work by myself mostly, not be ordered around to do this and that. Or A WANDMAKER! &hearts
Being an Unspeakable sound amazing as-well.
See, this is why I need to live longer, there are far too many things I find interesting and want to try, achieve.
Finally, please link three votes here:
Here, you get 15 instead of 3. I'm feeling generous today. XD
