Myers- Briggs Personality Test Results

   So I have taken the test before this time, and it's in most of my bio's on social media profiles. I did it on a site called http://www.16personalities.com/ and my best friend from Winnipeg and I took the test one day while face timing because we are both fascinated by this stuff. My original result from the 16 personalities test was an INTP which means I am more introverted than extroverted, I use more intuition than senses, I usually put thinking over feeling and I perceive rather than judge. I was pretty sure my results would stay the same, because I haven't really changed since the last time I took it and this is truly who I am, when I took this test on the site Mr. Neufeld gave it was the same result. 

   I am an INTP which is described as an "Engineer" and kind of take pride because only 2.5% of people are INTP's and only 1%is female.

  So in the sense that I am more Introverted than Extroverted I think that's right, I am very introverted and only comfortable around certain people, and keep a lot of things to myself. I have moments where I have so much confidence in me and I'm not afraid to attract attention to myself like when I am singing on stage or dancing, or when I'm really comfortable with a person, they say I'm weird and random. However people think i come across very confident and and extroverted, but in reality I am a introvert, I keep more to myself.  I wish I was more extroverted and I would like to hang out with friends more often or go to parties but I always get awkward unless I am really really comfortable and dont have a lot to talk about. 

   Intuition over senses I think is a fair part of it too, because I do tend to go with gut feelings. The thinking over feeling is however always seemed debatable to me, and I can vouch for both sides. I do think things through before doing things, and think what is best for myself and others in that situation, but also what are possible outcomes, what has happened before, why it happened; I take all these factors into account. How ever I also have plenty of times where I have my "heart over head." basically situations where I do get emotional but hardly do. I also usually think to solve other peoples problems over mine.

  I think the perceiving over judging is an accurate result too. I don't have particular schedules, and dont mind going off track. I don't like to judge right away either but instead like getting to know a person before making any judgments what so ever. In fact I hate when people make assumptions or jump to conclusions when they watch me do stuff or talk about other people. In my personal opinion I think observation is key, and that you give everyone an equal opportunity to get to know you until they have proven enough for myself to make an accurate judgement. Since I value perceiving and giving everyone and equal opportunity I think that's why i come off as an extrovert to everyone, and I think this is also why i have to say so much, the more I perceive the more I have to write/ talk about.

   With being an INTP it comes with facts or usual findings about the INTP and reading through everything I strongly agreed with everything, and but some of the things in the last paragraph I felt were highly unaccurate like : unemotional, and acts without consulting other people. Because I do take emotions into consideration but not all the time and i ask other peoples opinions to take those factors into account. However being a rule breaker and knowing my dark side is accurate hahaha.

   Also being placed in a category with such great and intellegent people like presidents, scientists and actors is really cool, and having brian from family guy is funny because He also has hes random moments of wanting to be wild.  I found it cool that I have thought about many of the professions in the list of jobs like psychologist and musician!

What it's like to be a Teenager

  Well, in my perspective and probably plenty of others being a teenager isn't really a walk in the park, but more like hiking the Grouse Grind everyday until you get into the swing of it. I say this because everyday is a challenge of getting to the top, and in this case I mean getting all your stuff done; whatever responsibilities or tasks you have. I'll continue more on the analogy after explaing a few things. 

   The first thing is School, now if everyday is like doing the grouse grind, school is like coming to realization that I'm actually doing something, a constant reminder of a challenge in my way. Telling me this will both be torture, but at least i'll accomplish something today. 

 Secondly, In my opinion I think my parents are old school, meaning a couple of hours of chores everyday , plenty of responsibilities, and getting all your homework done before leisure or hanging out with friends, or there are consequences like being grounded or not having my phone. Sure I get frustrated and wish they understood a bit more but I don't think they intend to be strict; they have the best intentions, so I learn to handle things in life and learn that every action has an outcome. However hanging out doesnt happen a lot especially on week days, so I turn to movies and food because let's be honest a lot of teens do, we always seem to be hungry. Theoretically speaking, In a way getting all of my chores done and doing homework is the about 2/3 of the way up the mountain, knowing I have gotten a part of my day over with only to find myself with more tasks to do. Which definitely can be the worst part of all of it because I just want to give up sometimes. 

   When you're finally done your chores and homework, you have hit the 3/3 or the top of the mountain. That great feeling of being at the top of the mountain, like you're invincible, is like the great feeling i get when I am with friends and have no worries in the world. It's when I'm done everything and get to do what I want at the end of the day, which probably will be chilling in my room doing nothing if not with friends. 

  The self doubt while climbing the mountain, is well me and the distractions I come face to face with. Let's just say technology can be both your best friend and worst enemy. 

    Lastly, the ride on the gondola down represents me at the end of the day resting in bed, relaxing and recovering. But with this comes a catch, do you ever go into deep thought on the way down looking at all the beautiful scenery? well thats me laying down and thinkin about all the problems  I've come across in that day and what a mess my life is. It's me thinking about if he likes me, or if i weird him out, if I did good on that test, if I should have said or done something in that situation, did I look okay today, or even if I did all my homework. 

  In summary, being a teenager isn't easy, and will be very tiring but eventually you'll get used to it. Constantly feeling pressure on what you want to be, or what you should look like. To me tackling a day in the life of a teenager is like theoretically like climbing to the top of the grind. Whether you have your earphones in or have friends along the way. Passing each stage and seeing signs that remind you're only part way up, and still having somethings stuck in your head on the way back down and avoiding temptations so you can get things done.  

The History of Me + English

   So my name is Erlynn and I'm in Mr. Neuf's English 10 class, and this is my first post! This post is about my experience with english, and to be completely honest I don't love english class but I don't mind it. Growing up I had always found english a walk in the park, but I love challenging myself with writing poetry and reading books, I think it helps with building creativity and expressing myself! Being a singer I enjoy hearing lyrics and finding out a deeper meaning and I think that helps me with poetry. I also get drawn into reading books and find it hard to stop reading once you start. 

   Some of my favourite authors are James Dashner, Jenny Han, and J.K Rowling, and even though Shel Silverstien's poems are quite short I enjoy the simplicity and humour in them.  

That's all about me for now I guess, til' next time.
