as with any tests (including IQ tests which irks me. Since I only have an IQ between 0 and 1) don't take this too seriously.

However, there are basis to it that does make it unique when it comes to some self-assessing, IMHO

I think everyone is not just an introvert or extrovert but a mixture of two and inbetween.

I am an extrovert by training. My mom took me to speech classes and piano lessons and made me to public recitals and public speaking at a very young age. But by nature, I blush easily and am not comfortable in crowds.

if you'll notice that some of these questions are kind of repeated in a different way and that's where we get the % scores from.

because we might tend to lean more to a yes on one question we might lean more to answer a no on the other similar question...

and while a lot of those questions I feel like I should answer either with a maybe or give more explanations. The other similar questions would offset the original questions...

In the past, I took the "Myers-Briggs" test that Jung helped developed the model for. It is more broad.

Questions such as: If you are good friends with a fellow employee and you know that she/he is stealing, would you tell on them?

that's a tough call when they only give you a yes or no.

To me, well, that depends. Is this person a good friend? Did they confide in me when they stole? If so, what are the circumstances? Not that I'd agree with the stealing part. Plus, I am a deep believer in confidentiality.

Did I find out that they were stealing on my own? If so, I would approach them first.

what are they stealing? A dollar or two? Or enough to bankrupt the company.

All these are unknowns and hard to just hit yes or no button to.

But still, it gets to the core of a person. They are trying to test and see which way one would lean more on to...

but I like it when Eddington said:

We have found a strange footprint on the shores of the unknown. We have devised profound theories, one after another, to account for its origins. At last, we have succeeded in reconstructing the creature that made the footprint. And lo! It is our own.

We are who we are, it is what it is...

and that we do change, we're evolving creatures and we grow and mature (some might argue that I never mature. LOL) so our views can change, switch, and maybe even go back again.

I like Emmerson's POV about "Transition" vs. "definitives"

we're transitional creatures...at least, that's what I think...

Whitman's views best sums up my romanticism about the world.

we have to be real but not lose the romanticisms (we know Santa isn't real, but we must believe in the spirit of Santa[Christmas])

we have to be a bit unreal, when it gets too real (dealing with extreme pain by lightening things up a bit)

I like that when people went to Andy Kaufman's funeral, they laughed through the tears. I liked that Mary Tyler Moore laughed at Chuckles the clown's funeral.

I am not saying that that is true to every occassion. But if we know the person,and we know that they loved to laugh while they are alive. Then why hold on to the sad memories when we know that they would've loved for us to laugh at their funerals??

I hope people will laugh and have a good time at my funeral...not that they shouldn't feel sad...but to laugh through the tears...
