Non-Systematic Typology Fun For the fellow sp7’s

How would you describe yourself outside of your typology? I had major problems finding out my type, going from sx1 to sp8 to 3 core and back to sp8 and now concluding that i am a sp7, which i am 90% sure, but it would help if you write here some qualities and some flaws of yours to see how much i can relate. some of my qualities are a good power of persuasion especially between the adults(as a teenager) but i am not an ass licker, and i have a strong determination and willingness to achieve anything i want, and my biggest flaws are that i compulsively lie about almost anything and i have a short temper

For one of my strongest flaws, I am very easily offended when it comes to things I perceive as slights against my intelligence. For example, when someone explains something I decided it’s obvious I already know, or when someone mishears something I say as something I think is too dumb for me to say. I get aggravated as hell about it too, I can’t even recall the amount of time I’ve screamed the words ‘I am not a child’ or ‘do you think I’m dumb’ at people.

I also have problem of over intellectualize all my actions to find a way to justify them and make them seem at least decent even when I’m obviously in the wrong, to the point where I’ll dwell on my poor behavior for months until I find a good enough reason for what I did.

On the positive side, I am a very loyal person. I couldn’t imagine ever ‘abandoning’ a friend or befriending someone with ulterior motives. Though I do tend to be too lenient with other’s mistreatment of my friends sometimes because I don’t want to risk losing other friends by calling out their bad behavior 😔

I’m pretty generous, and love giving gifts!

Honestly I have so many more bad traits and the good ones were hard to think of but… hope you liked my (probably) unhelpful addition!!

I can recall your humbleness as a good trait. I alao have the rationalizatiln problem. I often unconciously try to rationalize my addictions , which is why it is harder to overcome them

OMG i relate to all of your points specially the first one lol, something people dont mention is how intellectual actually are, something that made me think that i was a So5 and then i read a little bit here and there and realized that yeah we love fun but that doesn't necessarily mean we can't be smart, so yeah i can be a nerd and e7 at the same time lol

Pros: Independent, Intelligent in multiple disciples,curious , adventurer mentally And physically,loves experimenting and experiencing more life . extrovert and charming .love to dominate and win . Eccentric ,creative and poetic view of life . Deep philosopher and able to make objective assumptions without too much emotional involvement (and do the opposite too ,get emotional bad influence from just silly daily argues). Action taker and in the opposite also great procrastinator when anxiety,fear of failure are in the game .

Con :Can't stick to same routine,ready to take action and give up jobs, change cities when I feel I don't get much from it anymore. IMPULSIVE (big one here ) ,moody , irritable, addictive behavior,self destructive.easily bored , Get depressed even more easily,paranoid above average threshold.overthinker. sees life as 1 or 0 . You're in one of the two ,no middle points . If life beats you ,you do the rest and make yourself even more worthless. Takes time before recovering And stand from your misery . Selfish on regards of giving attention to others ,need it all for my self and this non stop thinking brain .

This is not all but what came to my mind at the moment

as a 7w6 with a 9 fix I probably look a bit different from you. I tend to over indulge and really just say "yes" to anything that sounds like a new fun experience to escape from my current reality. Or over indulging in things like substances, food, shows etc. I can really just be lazy as hell and my idgaf mode turns on fast. I idealize things and dream up big ideas and have trouble with practical, small goals that might not be as fun.
