People have multiple personalities

It was great taking this personality test; knowing what kind of a person you are helps a lot, in my opinion. I wholeheartedly agree with the Cs evaluation of my personality. But, I would be lying if I said I was not expecting a S-type result.

Although I agree with the result, I do believe the test does not truly gauge your personality; like any other psychological evaluation, it merely gives you a time-specific evaluation of your frame of mind. For example: If you were having a particularly bad day, or were having self-esteem issues, taking the test on that day will reflect your negative attitude. The same goes for the flip-side of the argument: If you achieved something meaningful before the test, the test will reflect that positivity as well.

Also, it depends on what mindset you are applying this test towards. For example: With the test applied to a workspace oriented mindset, you may have a tendency to be more analytic with your actions. But at the same time, you maybe the leader amongst your group of friends and if you applied the test with the same mindset you have amongst your friends the leadership qualities would reflect that.

Maybe if you mixed and matched various mindsets you would get a more accurate evaluation of your personality. But what do I know? I am not a psychologist!

I don't really remember what mindset I was in, but the test really did evaluate me correctly. As you may be able to see just from this blog, I have a tendency to analyze things from different perspectives. A true Cs...and proud of it!

Vision of the Future

The video, although very cheesy and humorous, did present very valid points. I agree completely that holding a vision of the future will guide you towards it (I liked that rope across the river analogy). I think this fact holds true especially when future prospects look grim - a similar situation to the one the kids from the elementary school in Harlem were facing.

I have a few visions for my future on the back of my mind, but that's where they are - on the BACK OF MY MIND! Well without further ado, here are a few of them:

> Build a application which takes financial data from the web and calculates financial data for the user. (Could be used as part of a bundle of apps sold by major brokerages)

> Make a base for myself in London, England: the home to the football club I love - Arsenal FC. I would very much like to visit there time and again to watch the matches in person.

These are the long term goals. It will be long before either of these come true; I need knowledge and experience before I can make that application I have planned. The short-term action goals are to secure a job in the programming sector of a financial services organization. With that, I could gather enough knowledge and experience in order to make my application.
