MBTI Quiz
http://www.blogthings.com/mbtiquiz/


I found this website online.. Friends who visit my blog, i strongly recommend u all to take this personality test. Well, this is called the MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Indicator) It is the most well-known personality test in the world currently with firms such as Hewlett-Packard, Exxon, using it on their top executives. It is divided into 4 categories: Introversion vs extraversion (I/E), sensing vs intuition (S/N), Thinking vs Feeling (T/F), and lastly, Judging vs Perceiving (J/P).
With diff combinations, u get 16 combinations all in all. Eg. ISTP means Introvert, sensing, thinking and perceiving person.

This letter combination does not exactly specify who u r, becos MBTI acknowledges tt every individual is unique and different and does not attempt to generalize personality types. The reason why this test is extremely good is not in its accuracy in predicting personality, is tt it lets firms/ top executives know the working personality of the person taking the test. When dealing with work, what type of a person is HE? Eg. a Judging person means he is extremely organized, and likes to go by the books, while a perceiving person is some1 who is creative, likes to innovate, likes to do things on the spot w/o planning b4 hand. Hence, if an employee is a Judging type, & u assign him tasks last min, thereby disrupting his daily organized schedule, he is likely to hate u for it & may be de-motivated to perform. Hence, MBTI is extremely useful in evaluating personnels so tt Organizational Behaviour can be better shaped.

However, having looked at this quiz and took this quiz, i wish to say this online quiz is not the real MBTI quiz, it is a shorter version. The real MBTI quiz has abt 200+ questions which can lead to a better evaluation, this online quiz has only 40 qtns. Friends out there reading this, pls take the test, its really good. Becos u can know urself even better, u can even shape ur own working style so tt when u work with diff ppl in the future, if u r highly adaptable, u can even change ur working style to suit his.
For instance, if now u r Judging but ur boss always like to give jobs on the spot, u can gradually change ur style of working, not necessary resign right? All in all, the good thing abt MBTI is like we can choose who we wanna be, I tell u, i took e real test twice, once in SAJC, once in NTU. I managed to change my results, not tt i memorise the answers again and play cheat to change my MBTI results, but i gradually change my working styles & habits, eventually achieving the results i want. (though now it is still not my ideal result) I didn't know i haf changed till i took the test again, when i recall my previous results, i realized i did change after all.

What this test does not offer as compared to the longer version one( i muz say the nature of the qtn is the same but quantity diff), is tt becos longer version got more qtn, it gives a better evaluation, something called the clarity score. Like i said above, MBTI acknowledges tt every individual is unique and different and does not attempt to generalize personality types. Clarity score shows the magnitude of ur inclineness towards the personality type, from 0-99.
Take me for eg. My type is INTJ, but my T & J component is 3/99, which is extremely low, this means tt i can oso be a INFP person, becos my T/F & J/P components are highly interchangeable. For clarity score, as mentioned by my professor in NTU, as long as u haf a clarity score of below 5, it means u can switch in between diff personality types. It is not exactly clear what type of personality u are.

Anyway, having read what i haf wrote, i still dun think i explained MBTI clearly, Friends wishing to know more, pls let me know... It's really v good, though not the longer version but juz take this online quiz as a guide.

I really have hopes on 'them'

This is a senseless entry... I oso dunno why i think this way; maybe attributable becos youngsters recently are v cmi, so i hope for miracles to happen where i can get 2 know a grp of so-called 'better' youngsters...
Well, i sincerely hope for NHDS current members to be pro-active so tt in a certain way, the mythology can lives on... Recently heard from Qihui tt the Sec 3s are trying to get alot of things done... Apparently i heard tt they haf big plans for Dance Camp, and to my surprise, they quite enthu (they arrange a meeting next Mon, immediately aft end of yr exams) hopefully they can org a dance camp successfully lah...

Actually hopes r hopes, i dunno what to pin for, what can be expected.. Imagine the mid-autumn fest celeb at NHDS, the sec 3 guys kanna scolded by Mr Low again, i m quite unwelcome by e idea of seniors/ grown-ups kanna scolded by Mr Low, how is it possible tt at such a age liao still canno think? Still need instructor to scold? Wah lau.. How do i connect with them? Honestly haf high hopes 4 NHDS, i sincerely wish to come back to sch every now & then, see a very united and enthu bunch of young dancers which participate in their ECAs actively and furthermore, within every bunch can choke up abt 1 or 2 extremely enthu ones to coach in depth so tt they can be active in performing arts or simply dance in their future... Woh... This is really an ideal, i can see how far it is from reality but nvtheless, i know deep down inside i still harbour hopes..

Yup, i mean which graduate (with a rational mind) would wanna come back and juz see NHDS collapse then happy as if he/she struck lottery? There r ppl like tt, but definitely not me lah...
What will NHDS turn into? I seriously dunno but as of today, 2 Oct 2005, i know tt i sincerely dun want it to fall, i still wanna help it... Nv will i wanna see NHDS lose its uniqueness and become a society with many girls and some sissy among them...

May this coming Dance Camp be a exciting one.... =) May NHDS prosper once again with true quality tt can take the dance arena by storm...

I simply wish upon....
