My Myers-Briggs Personality Type Test.

So, The M-B PTT is basically a series of questions with yes or no answers, which is designed to test how you approach problems and what you’re interested in based on the answers you give.

I took the test and afterwards this is what showed up:

Extravert(56%)  Sensing(38%)  Thinking(25%)  Perceiving(22%)

What do the test results say about you? Do you think this is accurate?

The results, when translated into simpler terms, mean that I prefer to be out socializing and doing things than reserved and being by myself. It also says that I prefer to gather information using rock-hard evidence rather than taking educated guesses using the provided information. What thinking over feeling means is I will make decisions/do things after thinking about outcomes rather than based on how I feel at the time. What perceiving means is that I will do things without very much planning instead of judging, which is making lists or planning your actions carefully.

I think this is accurate except for Sensing and Intuition. I would think that I prefer to experiment a fair bit more than I would follow the set path.

What strengths do the test results indicate you will bring to your team project? Do you agree? Why/Why not?

I think this indicates that I will bring different and maybe more exciting/interesting ways of going around project work, which I would have to agree with. I think I do things differently to the majority of kids in both classes, and I think these results back that up as well.

What challenges do the test results suggest you may face in your team project? Do you agree? Why/Why not?

I think the test results show that I might lead my team in completely the wrong direction because of lack of planning, which sounds like something I’d do, and also arguments might break out if my way of thinking over feeling clashes with another person’s ideas, especially if they are founded on feeling.

Hello WordPress/Galileo!

My name is Oscar, and before I started blogging I thought I should let you know a bit about myself.
My earliest memory of school is my fist day of Prep. I walked into the classroom with my mum and saw all the other kids on their own doing what they wanted to, like playing with Play-doh or reading, so I went to the reading box and pulled out a book and I read a book.
I learn best when I am doing practical work, like acting out a book in English or doing experiments in Science, rather than reading the book or learning formulas behind a desk.
My worst trait is my unyielding personality. For example, if I have an idea concerning how I think a project should be done, and someone else has a different idea, I wont yield to their idea, and I’ll stick with mine.
My best trait is my ability to pick up new ideas and understand them. So, if I was taught a new way of interpreting text in an English class, I would be able to put that new way of thinking into practice quicker than the average person.
I often wonder about people’s motives, such as, why does (Person X) react this way to (Event Y), and I can get inside their heads and then imagine how they would react to different situations based on what just happened.
The hardest thing I’ve ever done was go back to my primary school after three years of traveling around Australia, and re-integrate into the school hierarchy, because everything had changed so much, and I had to re-wire my social brain to fit in.
The last possession I would give up is my Industry jacket, because I wear it every time I go out, and now it’s like a part of my permanent clothing selection. Everything I need for a day Is in my jacket, my Myki, my phone, my keys and my wallet.
This term I am looking forward to camp. The whole idea of living off a pack on your back and carrying everything you need is so cool, and I have the skills to have a great time without too much stress, so I think I’ll really enjoy it.
What image would you put on a postcard of Melbourne? I would like to put a picture of Fed Square as the sun is reflecting of all of the glass and bouncing off into the quadrangle, with the Yarra River in the background. Why? Because I think it would show how beautiful a place can be, even if it’s in the city and surrounded by boring, more-of-the-same grey buildings.
Which Melbourne person would you most like to sit next to on the tram? I’d like to sit next to a philosopher of some sort, who focused on the reactions of people to different situations. Why? Because I think it would be a very interesting conversation, because I would like to find out whether or not the way I contemplate those things is the way professionals do.
If you could invite any 3 people from history to dinner who would you invite? I would invite Albert Einstein, Galileo and Thomas Edison.  Why? Because they all discovered new and ground-breaking things, which have effected the rest of history. I would like to ask them if they knew what they had achieved and how it felt to be looking at a new formula/discovery/invention.                                                                                 Describe Melbourne in three words. I would describe Melbourne as a very sport-centered city, because I houses the most AFL teams as a city (Nine out of Eighteen). I would also describe it as a decorated city, because it has a lot of street art, and also people can put up pieces of art all around the city (Like the elephants that were located everywhere in the city). The last word I would use to describe Melbourne would be modern, In the way of technology, because Melbourne is leading the way with new systems, like Myki.
