What is my type you wizards

# Type me — here's what I actually do, not adjectives

**TL;DR** — Aspiring chef, musician and writer; currently unemployed, so I build my own daily structure rather than having one imposed. Most of my day goes on research and comparison aimed at getting stable and finding the best path — too quality food, jobs, purchases, career maths. My care for people arrives as problem-solving and as creating experiences for them. Very social and always the one pushing for variety with friends but my solo days are structured and repetitive. Occasionally I have a wild day on my own and choose spontaneity over planning but even then it’s a bit planned, Read as serious and guarded, and deliberate about how I come across. Detail-focused but I get strong anticipatory hunches I can't consciously trace. Intense with a few people, neutral with everyone else. Open question: whether I actually converge on decisions or just keep preparing them.

I think behaviour is more diagnostic than adjectives — sure, share your subjective experience, but also show what you actually do in a day and where you spend your energy and time.

I am an aspiring chef, and a musician and writer in my spare time.

I enjoy running, creating things, fixing things and making things more efficient, solving problems for people, and visiting new places. I'm a Christian.

So here's a day for me. Not every day, but this is a day at the moment, as I'm unemployed. What I do varies in terms of activities.

Up around nine. Curtains open, hydrate, then half an hour reading — Guardian, NYT, philosophy journals. Then I write down the tasks I want to do that day plus a note on how the day is going, and I work through the list. Nobody sets this for me. There's no job or timetable imposing structure, so I build it myself.

The bulk of the day is research and comparison. Not aimless — I'm working toward getting my situation stable and finding the best path forward. So: comparing food sources and quality, calculating what I'd actually be getting versus what I buy now, costs included. Comparing laptops before buying one. Looking at jobs, applying, and calculating earnings across different career progressions. Cooking videos, but as learning to cook rather than entertainment. I take information in, retain it, and bring it back to people.

I draw. I play guitar and sing. I read fiction most days, and philosophy. I walk every day and try to go slightly further each time.

I talk with my parents and put real thought into what would make things better in the house — I tend to show up with feedback, reasoning, and a judgment on what should change. Same with my partner: I feel strongly toward them and it comes out as working out what I can do for them. My care arrives as problem-solving, and as creating things and experiences for others. I like to give people new experiences — new foods, new places to go. I'm very aware of how others are experiencing me, and I give off a deliberate demeanour.

I'm very social, but I do spend a lot of time on my own focusing on what I want to achieve. I like going out with friends and doing new things with them, and I'm usually the one pushing for variety. If a friend does the same bike route every time, I'll want to change the path. I'd rather stack activities than repeat one — an hour's ride, then tennis or kayaking, or ride out, have a good meal at a pub, and ride home. It's the possibilities I'm after more than the activity itself. Worth flagging the apparent contradiction: my solo days are highly structured and repetitive, but with people I want the opposite.

People read me as serious and slightly guarded on first impression. I don't perform for a camera; photos of me are mostly unsmiling, or a pensive smile.

The part I'm least sure about is how conscious the direction is. It doesn't feel like I sat down and drew up a plan. It's more that there's an aim I can feel, and my actions turn out to have been serving it, and I notice the coherence after the fact. I'm very detail-focused but still see the big picture. I often predict events happening, and seeing it unfold is kind of amazing — my friends are always wondering how I see what's coming next. It could be knowing what someone will say before they say it, even when the content is different from what's happening in the moment. Or little things, like knowing when my electric will cut out, based on nothing conscious.

A criticism I've had, and think is fair: I may spend more hours preparing decisions than making them. Though that doesn't seem natural to me. I honestly don't know.

I'm very passionate with the people I love. They are few, but I'm either intense with it or not at all.

Here — try and type me. This is what I look like, too.
