'Tech Class'

My personality type

I took a test in Tech class for personality, and I'm a INFP - Introvertive iNtutitive Feeling Percieving

Strong value systems
Warmly interested in people
Service-oriented, usually putting the needs of others above their own
Loyal and devoted to people and causes
Future-oriented
Growth-oriented; always want to be growing in a positive direction
Creative and inspirational
Flexible and laid-back, unless a ruling principle is violated
Sensitive and complex
Dislike dealing with details and routine work
Original and individualistic - "out of the mainstream"
Excellent written communication skills
Prefer to work alone, and may have problems working on teams
Value deep and authentic relationships
Want to be seen and appreciated for who they are

Those are some of the facets of a INFP. There were jobs also, and the only thing that upset me was that it didn't say artist....BUT! At least writer was there.
Also, for love, it said I was an idealistic and romanitcally-minded person....
For personal growth, I need to understand what's important to me, recognize my weaknesses and not hide behind them, and strive for balance.

The Elections at Animo

a. What do *you* think about the elections going on at Animo Venice?
b. What do you think about what Mr. Chang is saying about the elections?
c. What kind of candidate should you choose? Why? How will your kind of candidate affect you as a student at Animo Venice?
d. What can *you* do to make this a better election?

A. I think that the elections are indeed pointless (at the moment) and that for some reason the whole school has become very 'political' all of a sudden without actually knowing the meaning of politics.
B. I think Mr. Chang was right in his blog. The students aren't learning anything but how to make flashy posters and bribing votes with candy, and, as usual with most contests, it's become a popularity contest.
C. I would choose the canidate who seems to fit the most for the job, because that's why they're running for that job, because they think they can and they want to do it! I'm not sure how it will effect me as a student though.
D. I really have no idea. I don't even know who the canidates are (usually in the presidential elections for the US Pres they tell you whos running....more or less.)

Learning Style Test RESULTS! Whoo!

Okay, first there are seven categories - Verbal, Logical/Mathematical, Visual/Spatial, Kinesethic (touch), Musical, Interpersonal (leader), and Intrapersonal (self).

According to the test my strenghts are Spatial-visual (which is indeed true because I am an artist, I can think in 3d and colors and such) and Interpersonal (which is SO wrong because I can't even ask a clerk for extra ketchup packets, I'm so shy -.-)

According to the test, my weaknesses are Verbal (which is wrong. I LOVE to read, I've been a reading fanatic since I was little, since 5th grade I was already reading far above my reading level and always do well on the reading/spelling/vocabulary parts of tests), Intrapersonal (SO VERY WRONG! I always have little ideas running around my head with stories and characters that I'd much rather listen to than some people, and a lot of times deep serious thoughts) and Logical/Mathematical (I'm not surprised, I hate math, and I hate reality and logic BLAH it's SO much more FUN to twist logic around and into a undefinable lump....I'm very good with computers however, does that count?).

List three things to improve the way you learn:
Listen to more music, probably. I never listened to much music until recently, and its good for drawing to.
Ask more clerks for extra whatever.
Don't watch as much anime. It ruins perception of expressions....(One of the questions was are you aware of yours/other's expressions and blah blah something....eh what do you expect I have a bad memory....with unimportant things anyway)

Nabil's blog

Nabil is currently in highschool, but when he started his blog sometime before November 13 of 2003, he was 16 years old. He's very much into football (soccer in America) and football video games, he likes wrestling, and shooting/strategy games (specifically Medal of Honor, Empire Earth, etc). He also writes a lot about his school, what they do and his exams. His opinions on the war in Iraq are good (for lack of a better sentence right now). Sometimes the things he posts in his blogs I don't agree with, like when he secretly laughed at an American soldier for being afraid of a bomb, or that Saddam Hussein should have commited suicide instead of getting caught by the soldiers. He's Sunni, not Shiee (I think that's how he spelled it). You can read more about Nabil here.
