anyhow, first test was pretty damn accurate, INTJ for world domination! whats also funny is, someone further up mentioned he did a process similar to your approach there - well - i'm kinda doing the same i think, except for i'm only like in the middle of it, the other half is still coming up, but i was already thinking that i kinda need to do that mass research stuff like you described.. people is weird. anyhow, 5 to make it to the "only 2" section now  And i really have to congratulate you, this is the first of your life guide like blogs that didn't make me feel like shit lol ^^and hey drooL, man up, its only your first semestre. Been there, its a cake walk. Just wait when you start your fifth haha :D | ||

You know, a couple years back Steve Pavlina had a blog post about finding the life goals and such. His advise was to take an empty sheet of paper and let your subconcious flow until it suddenly pops out and you should write everything down that came to your mind. I stared at that piece of paper for about 30 minutes, then quit. It was still empty. The thing with the magazines, then further collection of information, then testing it out alone makes this post so invaluable to me. I really thank you. I will print this out and reread it everytime I feel lost. | ||

Which is probably why they clash so much with you (and myself, being an ENFP haha). and like you, I find that my personality has balanced out over the years -- I hear that circumstances do that to you. In particular, in the working world, I found I had to work a LOT on my attention to detail (S), be very logical and methodical (T), and have a very organized schedule to get everything done (J). But, still -- I'm very strong on my NF attributes. thx, lol, that reminded me that, I was only 2 previous Entp's in the entire presbyterian church of Canada, that should have been a warning sign right there. But same, when I started work, it was a bit of an effort to focus on the s and j part, but generally my asshole nt attribute just can't be over come ^^ | ||

So knowing that, let your naturalness flow for creative work, but for tasks you need to get done on time and in a systematic fashion, just make the task very simple, don't think too much into it. You have project due, set a firm deadline for yourself that is at least a week before it is actually due, and be clear about your intentions, are you doing this project to prove how smart you are compared to others or to actually just get a good mark or that you actually don't really care about it. Feeling bad about things after the fact when you actually set yourself up for it, isn't productive, but write me back after you hit senior ^^ Edit: but there is no justification for being lazy though ^^ you'll eventually know the difference. | ||

@impervious necessity of working in a team @drooL unfortunately homework ftw lol @rezoacken I agree, I lose track of it even when I read it, but when I finally launch my two companies by mid-dec, by then I'll have a professional editor go through these again, till then suffer! ^^ Masterrs of Divinity is for those who will be ordained priests or go on to their masters of theology and PHD to teach. It's actually the first university degree created (as I recall). @caelym hopefully I get my companies up first, then I can sponsor a big SCBW and SC2 tourney for you guys ^^ @gchan glad it was insightful to you, my sympathies to having to live this painfully keke @projectvirtue i do it about every year or so, I reckon you're probably still at the same point, that is why the images are still so strong. @crazeman The actual test like 500 questions or so (I can't really remember but like 6 pages or doublesided) the more questions you do the more accurate it is to matching your profile, but again, its just a profile, as long as it gives you some insight. Noob I am not keke. @YoonHo & Accer Remember to just take whatever you get from it and leave at that, if there is more in there for you, it'll be apparent later, if not, don't force it, you'll just go nuts. ^^ @Sylv & Z3kk ^^ @MisterD I've seen people it didn't work for, but its also about clearing your mind as much as possible, I usually always come back to this test when i'm most depressed for whatever reason and just close my eyes and do it. and sorry if I made you feel like shit LOL life is work in progress always and I'm just basically always saying, just go for it. ^^ | ||

Celial, i'll respond more later, but, always feel free to email/pm me about anything, I'm Korean so work and personal are always just the same to me ^^ and thank you, I think it will be an awesome year for both of us. Cheers. | ||

This one for only for Christians or Catholics, I am not aware of the requirements for study to be a rabbi or monk, but this is a very academic track to be either a theologian or a priest. ^^ Edit: Christians & Catholics same/same, in Korea we say it like that, but for westerners, it would be Protestants and Catholics (both being Christian). | ||

If you are P and a genius P, you look like you pull diamonds out of your ass when everyone is furiously trying to work things out, that isn't the case of course, you are always thinking, all the time, its not an on and off switch. But lets say you do a team project in school, the work load is never that much that you can't do it all by yourself, so you do your part and lets say you are the project leader, for a university project, you generally assign work and then its gets put together. but in the real world, the work load really to the point where a single person cannot do it, and you need to work on it together each and every day or else the results simply won't be there and the higher up you go in business, the most the people on your team are specialized. In this case, your object is to get the most out of your team, whether they like it or not, or aka, management. When you're on the strategy side, still being a P is fine for very complex strategy, but if you are in the middle of a war or a tight deadline, the execution and operation side becomes nearly 100% everything because as long as you execute better, you normally will succeed (unless it really is that kind of 'you're totally fucked situation or outclassed situation), so you need to be a J through and through, you need to go into what I call 'machine mode' and break everything down and ensure everything is coordinated properly. This doesn't mean micro manage, but it means that you are 100% aware of what everyone is doing and what is the expect result and what is the over all timeline. Now the P part kicks in when people are stumped because you're thinking about the issues subconsciously and then when it comes up, bang you have a solution and off they go. But here is the kicker part, since I'm a E, I get energy from managing (generally), which offsets the exertion I have in being completely and totally organized and as I've gotten older, I litterally try to shut down my over innovative thinking brain and just say, BE EFFICIENT, I AM A MACHINE, I WILL DO. And its tough at times to power things through and to keep doing it, day in and day out, but i'll tell you, only being a J at times will win a war because you need that operational effeciency to simply achieve something real and sustainable. Sometimes, I'll write on my MSN, mega machine mode and that is when I tune out the entire world and just live for the task as a robot, but other times when its just too much and its no longer a focused routine, but just will power, then I change my msn to 'man on fire' (like the washington movie) meaning, I'm fucked, but I'm all in. lol and I think that is when the P kicks in. If other guys are reading this and aren't that familiar with these entp crap stuff, don't worry about, its really just more of an analogic way of speaking about it. | ||

this post of yours is a flow of life cliff notes for a very select audience. unconventional and authentic approach to cliched old sayings which have a truth hidden inside experiences yet to come. and practical. so tickling and playful to my mind. like the magic moment when you're flipping the pancake and its up in the air. that made no sense ok, i will seriously read ths again tomorrow and i womder how much drunk me is telling me things sober me won't say. | ||
