Background
1. What is your personality type?

INFJ, 4w5.

3. What country do you live in now? What country are you born in?

United States on both accounts.

4. What cultural background are you?

Caucasian.

5. What religion are you? What religion is your family?

I'm leaning towards Paganism/Agnosticism. My family is Christian in the sense that they celebrate Christmas and other holidays, and pray when they're worried, but they rarely read the bible, and don't attend a church.

Questions
6. What career are you in or looking to be in? What are you doing right now to help you achieve this career goal?

I'm considering clerical work and/or psychology. I'm attending a community college.

7. What is your friendships like with both genders? How many good friends do you have and why are you friends with these people?

I have three good female friends I speak to at least once a month. One reminds me of myself, and doesn't have a lot of friends. One is stubborn and insists on being my friend, and the last one is kind of strange, but very accepting and intelligent. Additionally, I have eight female and five male friends who I hear from about once every three or so months.

8. What paranoias do you have?

I'm worried that I will die somehow, that I'll be put in a situation I don't know how to cope with, or that something/someone important to me will be lost.

9. What are your vices?

Computers, diet cola, video games, and television.

10. What are your fears?

Insects, dirt, knives, snakes, reptiles, people dressed in rags/thugish clothing.

11. What is your relationship like with your parents? siblings (if you had any)?

Semi-close to my mother, distant from my father and my half-brothers, but on reasonably good terms with all of them.

12. How are you with expressing emotion in public?

I don't, usually. I try to look very formal and focused on whatever I'm supposed to be doing in public. I'm polite, courteous, and even generous if anyone asks me for help, but I'm not at all effusive. I'm sentimental in my underlying motivations and this is more obvious one-on-one, however.

13. How do you think people saw you in high school? How do you think people see you now?

Most of them didn't notice me. The few that did called me "The Machine," because I worked on my schoolwork the moment I got to class, didn't tarry in the halls or talk to anyone between classes, and was always asking for permission/instructions from the teacher.

People probably see me mostly the same way now in terms of my work ethic, except I say hello to more people, and manage to seem friendlier, mostly because the teachers are more obviously laid back in college, and there's less noise and chaos, so I'm more comfortable. I know I tend to be friendly enough when relaxed, and behave more coldly/mechanically when stressed.

And finally....
14. What do you see as the point to your life and life in general?

I don't believe it has an inherent meaning. On one hand, I think your life is whatever you choose to make of it, whatever meaning you find in it. On the other, the point of life seems to be to observe/learn as much as possible, simply out of curiosity. It's more the first one, but partly the latter.

Thanks all for looking at this and thank you for those of you who answered the questions.

You're welcome, Nonpareil.
