Mediocre Assignments and A Surprising Twist
So here's my newest twist to the rant page, school assignments. One of my classes is based on styles of "communication", and that particular professor has taught me before and apparently enjoys my rants. So I got permission to post my assignments on here for her. If it bothers anyone reading it, go to hell. By the way, for my prof, (who for anonymity's sake will be known as "T.D"), there will probably be some foul language. Be forewarned. Off we go.
Mood? Mellow and intuitive, I cant sleep.
Music? Sarah McLachlan - I love you.
Train of thought? Andrea, go figure, but I'll get to my assignment.
New song, Seether - Broken (fuck Amy Lee, she's hot but she butchered the remix). Alright then. So an assignment to do personality tests online and see where we lie in the spectrum. Now generally speaking I wouldnt have even done the tests, they're usually a mile off anyways, but I was bored, so I figured why the hell not. Anyways. I take the first one, a "Jung Typology" test. I found alot of the questions incredibly repetitive, just worded different, and ironically, I found myself answering differently due to different wordings. Just goes to show, situation DOES matter. (Vertical Horizon - Best I Ever Had). Now my result came out to "INFP", meaning I'm supposed to be Introverted iNtuitive Feeling and Perceiving. (dont ask why its not IIFP, it was bugging me earlier too). The description of an INFP was portray in a really interesting manner. Before actually stating what INFP was, it uses alot of quotes and poems to show an idea an INFP person might show, and then compared with multiple fictional and real life INFP people. My particular favorites being Homer (ancient greece), and Calvin (Calvin & Hobbes). (System of a Down - Dammit - Blink 182 cover) The reason these are my favorites, Homer because I have an innate fascination with mythology, Celtic and Greek being my favorites. Calvin being a favorite because 1) he's the coolest cartoon EVER, 2) he makes me laugh to no end, and 3) he does promote some incredibly complex views on world and life situations that unless you're looking for, you wont find. So I was rather amused to find that 2 of my favorite people were also INFP's, which might explain why I like them so much. Now, listening to classical opera, I'm going to pick apart the functional analysis paragraph by paragraph. I'll put -> in front of the actual analysis info. yay.
-> INFPs live primarily in a rich inner world of introverted Feeling. Being
->inward-turning, the natural attraction is away from world and toward
->essence and ideal. This introversion of dominant Feeling, receiving its data
->from extraverted intuition, must be the source of the quixotic nature of these
->usually gentle beings. Feeling is caught in the approach- avoidance bind
->between concern both for people and for All Creatures Great and Small, and a
->psycho-magnetic repulsion from the same. The "object," be it homo sapiens
->or a mere representation of an organism, is valued only to the degree that the ->object contains some measure of the inner Essence or greater Good. Doing a
->good deed, for example, may provide intrinsic satisfaction which is only
->secondary to the greater good of striking a blow against Man's Inhumanity to
->Mankind.
Ok, the key to this passage I find is in the word 'feelings'. Yes, I'll admit, my emotions and feelings get the best of me, and they run how I act. The passage seems to push alot towards a Superior Being type of ideal, and its possible, the last line accentuates my own particular feelings, if I can make someone happy, it doesnt matter what happens to me. next passage.
->Extraverted intuition faces outward, greeting the world on behalf of Feeling.
->What the observer usually sees is creativity with implied good will. Intuition
->spawns this type's philosophical bent and strengthens pattern perception. It
->combines as auxiliary with introverted Feeling and gives rise to unusual skill
->in both character development and fluency with language--a sound basis for
->the development of literary facility. If INTPs aspire to word mechanics, INFPs
->would be verbal artists.
This passage says alot about me, which is surprising. I love to use creativity in acts of good will, especially where women are concerned. I call it my excessive dork-titude. I'm the kind of guy who would show up for no reason and give a lady flowers, just to see her smile. Ironically enough, it does tend to lend unsual skill and fluidity of language. While under heavy emotional sense I can write to no end, which if you've read the rest of this rant page, you'd already realize. And in looking at Calvin, he is quite the linguist. in the episodes when they wander by the creek or ride the sled or wagon, they often have very deep thoughts and "conversations". I have more on my mind but I cant think how to word it. Next passage.
->Sensing is introverted and often invisible. This stealth function in the third
->position gives INFPs a natural inclination toward absent- mindedness and
->other-worldliness, however, Feeling's strong people awareness provides a
->balancing, mitigating effect. This introverted Sensing is somewhat
->categorical, a subdued version of SJ sensing. In the third position, however, it ->is easily overridden by the stronger functions.
Heh.....interesting the first bit to stand out is "absent mindedness and other-worldliness". I am quite the dreamer. I have a personal issue with other people feelings, I tend to need them to be happy. I can't stand an unended or uneasy balance in a conflicting situation. I tend to know when someone isnt so happy, even just by a slight edge in their voice. Also strangely accurate, under heavy emotion this all becomes null and void, and only that emotion remains.
The next passage basically reiterates what I've already said and then compares it to other possible people styles (ie. ENFP), so I really dont need to bother picking it apart. T.D I know this is long, but you wanted journalistic entries, and when I write, I write alot.
Now onto the other test we were supposed to take, I'm not sure of the name, I believe it was the "Temperament" test, or some shit like that. My result came out as an Idealist, which is partially true, but in a strange sense I would think I'm more of a realist. Ok, hold up, its 4:30 in the goddamn morning, and I have an 8:00 class. I need a power nap. I shall finish this tomorrow. maybe.
Alrighty then, 2 days later. Lets get on with this shall we?
New mood, new tunes.
Mood: Content
Music: Heiroglyphics - Soweto
Alrighty. Well I'm not going to bother posting the other test result, it was long winded I found, very. Alright I was going to post a couple Calvin cartoons, but I'm too lazy to scan them in, therefore, forget it. (Less than Jake - Dopeman). I really lost my train of thought. Alright T.D, this has been, your entry you wanted. Good day.
