Myer-Briggs testing

According to Myers-Briggs, ISTPs excel at analyzing situations to reach the heart of a problem so that they can swiftly implement a functional repair, making them ideally suited to the field of engineering. Naturally quiet people, they are interested in understanding how systems operate, focusing on efficient operation and structure. They are open to new information and approaches. But contrary to their seemingly detached natures, ISTPs are often capable of humorously insightful observations about the world around them, and can be closet daredevils who gravitate toward fast-moving or risky hobbies (such as bungee jumping, hang gliding, racing, motorcycling, and parachuting), recreational sports (such as downhill skiing, paintball, ice hockey, and scuba diving), and careers (such as aviation and firefighting).

Qualitative analysis of your type formula

You are:
moderately expressed introvert
distinctively expressed sensing personality
moderately expressed thinking personality
slightly expressed perceiving personality.

This is what my version of the test of the Myer-Briggs test results are. This test was actually pretty accurate in telling about my personality and likes and dislikes. As for the results, I'm in the 4% on the chart of types.

Multi-cultural Event

Due to a recent illness, which left me also out of class and bedridden for a week, I was unable to make it to a multi-cultural event. However, from what I read in the blogs of the week, Rev. Lowrey is a very intelligent man.

Having gone through what he did in the 60's and sharing his experiences and thoughts with many of the youth of today is a very noble and wise thing to do. Some of the quotes from his speech in Karen's blog really spoke out to me. I felt like I could relate to him and some of his ideas were very amazing to read! But what I got most of his quotes was the fact that no one is not important and we should all be given the same chance. Reading that Rev. Lowrey hasn't held a grudge against the same people that persecuted and beaten him those many years ago reminded me of the same person who helped to encourage non-violent protests: Mohandas Gandhi.

English 102

Another Semester started. I had to retake English 102 because of a C- in the last attempt, but here's hoping I do better this time around.

I had John Boyd as my last english teacher and he really helped me with my writing and the way that I approach a paper with certain ideas and thoughts running through my head. Some of his ideas about thoughts and ideas have inspired most of my papers that I wrote for him.

Anyways, I'll get off that subject and back towards what needs to be done. I'm not looking forward to this semester, mainly because English is actually my least favorite subject, but what has to be done, has to be done I suppose.

Here's wishing you all a good semester.
