I literally found my type yesterday, or at least, that’s when I felt completely sure of it. I’ve been into typology for almost four years so you can imagine all the people I’ve talked to and how many of them have screamed “MISTYPE!” regardless of what I identified as. More recently, I was between 4, 6, and 9. I identified as a 9 for a while right before switching to 4. I think there’s a slight chance I’m a 4w3 (I do care a lot about image-related stuff) but I feel otherwise, I’m too introverted for it. I found out I’m not a positive outlook type, which eliminated 9. I don’t really reframe situations, which is something that triad is notoriously known for. Sure, I don’t like negativity, and would prefer not to deal with it, but when it does happen I seem to internalize the situation or just be very aware of how unfair it feels to me. Sometimes it can negatively affect my self-esteem too, for instance, people saying mean things to me (especially if it’s redundant) T_T The thought processes, desires, and random little quirks (not just saying that cause it’s type 4 I’m talking about lmao. All the types have them) seemed to match better than 9, even though I have a lot of stereotypically 9 behavior and still relate a lot to the type. For instance, I am not pleased with where my life is at, I know what will make me happy and feel I seldom have it, it encompasses not one but a billion different ideals, and I feel stuck in an inadequate situation. I’m exceedingly aware of the differences between me and others and feel anybody can smell them, even miles away or on the complete opposite end of a building. There’s a lot more, and well, when I put this all into perspective it just seemed to click far more than any other type I’d tried. Like I felt something different, like it felt real, kinda calling me out, or even inescapable, which is when I knew okay… I think this one’s it lol. Also for 6, which is another possibility I considered, I would say I have some socially anxious characteristics and I’m sensitive but the motivations and longings don’t hit as hard as 4 or 9. So I’ve typed myself 496 for now!
