personality type and drug preferences

[Raysu]

I'm ENTJ and like most things other than psychedelics with DOCs of opioids and crank if I had to narrow it down. Also I'd only call myself an extrovert if I was high, generally I find most people exhausting and not interesting enough or too annoying to be around otherwise.

How about the percentages you people get from this test designed to identify pathological features in one's personality?

I'm INTJ in the Myer-Briggs test. I've had serious trouble with CNS depressant abuse (alcohol, pregabalin, etc...) and I'm an ardent nicotine and caffeine addict. I've taken opioids (codeine, tramadol, poppy tea) irregularly (a few times a year) for about 15 years and have never developed a physical dependence.

polymath i got:

paranoid low
schizoid very high (LOL)
schizotypal high
antisocial moderate
borderline high
histrionic low
narcissistic moderate
avoidant moderate
dependent low
obsessive compulsive moderate

i think the schizoid one is off because i do respond to praise and criticism. i also have a good sense of humor when called for, i just dont express my emotions clearly very well. definitely more schizotypal here. i used to take psychedelics all the fucking time. now im just a functional kinda-alcoholic.

Yeah, someone who's a real schizoid usually doesn't have practically any sex drive and doesn't want to hang out with people. The poet Jack Kerouac had a diagnosis of schizoid PD. I can't really take that test myself because my autism spectrum disorder distorts the results. When I was an adolescent, I had a strange mixture of avoidant and narcissistic traits, like a shy and bullied kid in high school who deep inside thinks he's The Fucking Man.

i was bullied in high school like many, got gum put in my hair, got drawn on my back with chalk, etc. nothing horrible i guess... and i too was a similar way when younger, throuh high school i still thought i was the shit.

even though my self efficacy is very low now based on objective observations about my success in relationships and money making, i recognize the need to have confidence. so i do my best to project an almost apathy filled type of self confidence. and honestly i am filled with apathy so it is easy to extrapolate existential i-dont-give-a-fuck-about-anything bullshit attitudes into a laidback, candid persona when around other people. most people who talk to me have trouble understanding me or get offended by something i say. despite this i am still able to make friends and enjoy finding people to talk to, which is how i have avoided being labeled a complete wacko.

ISFP, but fairly moderately so, and I don't believe I fit all the criteria plus I think these typologies are basically bogus; anyway I used to be into psychedelics but my once and forever DOC is opiates and booze with occasional coke or speed.

and also, supplementation of testosterone. this is something which definitely decreases my introversion; not obviously in one go, but with chronic administration over weeks to months. I wonder if any introvert-type persons have experienced/tried/succeeded with the same, perhaps as an incidental effect to use in bodybuilding (I took initially ordinary TST doses, now slightly more, but far less than bodybuilding doses, because of the aforementioned effects, among others)?

If I were to try this, I'd rather take clomiphene citrate which indirectly increases T levels by about 30% because of it's estrogen antagonist effect... It wouldn't cause suppression of my body's own testosterone production.

 

[SKL]

yes, exogenous T is somewhat of a long term commitment beyond trivial dosages, which is something I'm willing to commit to; it's cheap, easily available and likely to remain so, safe in sane dosages (which are not always the dosages taken by bodybuilders and athletes seeking performance-enhancement) and with appropriate adjuncts, almost side-effect free; alternatives are not likely to be without some side effects including estrogen as a byproduct and overall suppression of T production afaik, but if your T production is low to begin with (as was mine, due to years of opiate abuse and now maintenance) I think T supplementation is the best way to go
