2005-01-05 Not much To Say I feel like I haven't had a lot to say as of late, which makes sense because I haven't.One exciting piece of information to share though. I got a letter from Eric today and he is most likely going to be home in March! YAY! Seriously, that is just the best news. Other than that, I have two children home sick today...Emily with a stomach thing and Katherine with a cold. They have been in fairly good spirits though and we even managed to organzie the playroom, go us. LOST is on tonight and it's new so my plans to undecorate have just gone by the wayside. Oh well, at least Ryun took care of the tree last night. 1 comments so far2005-01-04 Emily's Appointment Emily has her appointment with the specialist at Children's next Friday. I am really looking forward to it...answers are always a good thing, not that I am expecting any. I don't mean to sound negative it's just that everytime we go to Children's I always hope they will say, "She has blah blah blah. This is how we can fix it. She will be fine in this many days, months, years."It just seems like with the medical breakthroughs of the day, this thing could be figured out. I mean, yes she hs epilepsy, we know that. But her MRI is abnormal and they don't know what it is. All they know is that it is what has caused her seizures. There is something different about my daughter's brain and they can't tell me what it is. It's just a hard thing to grasp. 0 comments so far2005-01-04 Personality Your Social Boldness: Introverted VS ExtravertedYou are moderately introverted. I bet you hear this a lot, "You are so nice." That is because you do not have a brash, bold personality, instead you are warm and friendly and a pleasure to be around. You are not into the wild, crazy nightlife scene. To you a nice social atmosphere tends to be a quieter, more comfortable place where you can spend time with good friends. Your cooperative nature is especially pleasant in a group atmosphere where decisions must be made. You may not always be the person who initiates conversations or talks first in a meeting, but when you have something important to say you are willing to share it. At times you can be shy, but this does not mean that you are being standoffish, just that you are cautious and need time to assess the situation. Your Agreeableness: Candid VS Considerate You are very considerate. You are a popular person, aren't you? Of course you are. You truly value harmony in dealing with others. People recognize your friendly, generous, and helpful personality. Your easy-going, agreeable nature makes you such a joy to be around. This is especially true in meetings or general conversations. The topic may become heated, but you are considerate of other's feelings and you will find a happy medium in order to placate those around you. This is because you have an optimistic view of human nature and you realize that if you trust people with their decisions that they are not trying to hurt you or take advantage of you. This special and rare quality is also seen in your altruism. You enjoy helping others. To you it is not a sacrifice; to you it is fulfilling to help others in need. Your Self-Control: Impulsive VS Cautious You are moderately impulsive. At times you can be impulsive, but not to the point where you are jeopardizing work or relationships. You know when to follow rules, but you also know when to bend rules that are not set in stone. If your home or work space gets a little messy, you do not get upset or feel compelled to tidy up. You do not have to have perfect order in your life to feel good about yourself or your environment. You tend to be more on the fun side of spontaneity, and enjoy being flexible with your plans and your life. In general, you prefer to make short-term goals rather than long-term goals. Your Anxiety Level: Excitable VS Relaxed You are moderately excitable. In trying situations, you feel somewhat stressed and frustrated. At times you are able to overcome these feelings, but other times you feel overwhelmed. This could run the gamut of just being in a bad mood to experiencing anxiety, anger, or depression. In general, you prefer a stress-free existence, so that the possibility of negative emotions would not be a factor. You tend to be somewhat self-conscious in social situations, and are worried that people may judge or criticize you. You may react emotionally to people or circumstances that you find threatening, because you want to protect yourself. Every so often you cave into urges or cravings. Sometimes you feel a little guilty about it, other times you are just fine with your fun streak. Your Openness to Change: Practical VS Imaginative You are quite practical. You want just the facts - keep it plain and simple. You are practical, pragmatic and well grounded. You have no time for carelessness and impracticality. You prefer to keep your emotions to yourself, rather than exposing your feelings to the world. Life moves along much better for you when you can maintain a schedule and have routine in your life. Unexpected surprises and chaos are a major inconvenience to you. You tend to be conservative and are somewhat resistant to change. Others respect your ability to act properly in your everyday life. The way you Think/Reason: Concrete VS Abstract You are moderately concrete in your thinking. Your intellectual style is related to superior job performance when working with the public. One reason for this is that you often prefer dealing with people or things rather than ideas. PART 2: OCCUPATIONAL PREFERENCE EVALUATION You appear to be suited for a Social career. Social (S) people seem to satisfy their needs in teaching or helping situations. They are drawn more to seek close interpersonal relationships and are less apt to engage in intellectual of extensive physical activity. The S type generally likes to help, teach, and counsel people more than engage in mechanical or technical activity. The S type usually likes to be around other people, working in groups and sharing responsibilities. They are good communicators and are interested in how people get along, and like to help other people with their problems. They like nursing, or giving first aid and providing information. They generally avoid using machines, tools, or animals to achieve a goal. They see themselves as helpful, friendly, and trustworthy. These are the results of personality test I took over at Brainbench. Unfortunately, I can not link to the test itself as you have to be a member to take it but membership is free so sign up! I think that they pretty much pegged me for the most part anyway.The part about me being moderately excitable seems a little off but other than that. 2 comments so far |
