4: Discovering Myself!

Exercise 1:

Dream: To be happy
Touchstone: To be able to do what I want and still get a decent pay for it
Role Model: My uncle
Target: Getting a PharmD

I don't believe that being rich makes you happy but I think it could solve half of my materialistic problems such as being able to buy what I want without having to stress so much about money and can easily ownn a nice car, house etc. However, it is also important to me that I'll have my family and friends with me to share my happiness because if I don't have them near me, I don't think I'll ever be successful in life. Also, I realized as a human being, no one is ever satisfied and you always push yourself for something better hoping that will make you more happy!

Excersie 2:

After taking the personality test, the results showed that my personality is:

Your Type is ISFJ
Introverted
Sensing
Feeling
Judging

You are:
slightly expressed introvert
moderately expressed sensing personality
moderately expressed feeling personality
moderately expressed judging personality

The Nurturer
As an ISFJ, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you takes things in via your five senses in a literal, concrete fashion. Your secondary mode is external, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit into your personal value system.
ISFJs live in a world that is concrete and kind. They are truly warm and kind-hearted, and want to believe the best of people. They value harmony and cooperation, and are likely to be very sensitive to other people's feelings (I find this kind of true because I always put other people's opinions and feelings before mine, even if I end up getting hurt or regreting it later). People value the ISFJ for their consideration and awareness, and their ability to bring out the best in others by their firm desire to believe the best. (Its funny because I'm optimistic and supportive about others' lives and their future and very pessimistic when it comes to my life and my decisions). ISFJs have a rich inner world that is not usually obvious to observers. They constantly take in information about people and situations that is personally important to them, and store it away. This tremendous store of information is usually startlingly accurate, because the ISFJ has an exceptional memory about things that are important to their value systems. (OMG, this is soo true, I remember almost everything, even things like what my friends and family wore to events!) It would not be uncommon for the ISFJ to remember a particular facial expression or conversation in precise detail years after the event occured, if the situation made an impression on the ISFJ.
ISFJs have a very clear idea of the way things should be, which they strive to attain. They value security and kindness, and respect traditions and laws. They tend to believe that existing systems are there because they work. Therefore, they're not likely to buy into doing things in a new way, unless they're shown in a concrete way why its better than the established method.
ISFJs learn best by doing, rather than by reading about something in a book, or applying theory (This is kind of true too because reading something doesn't make sense to me unless I see it with my own eyes or get to experience it. Especially with theories, I don't really like reading about them if it cannot be proven infront of me and I can't memorize things if it doesn't make sense). For this reason, they are not likely to be found in fields which require a lot of conceptual analysis or theory. They value practical application. Traditional methods of higher education, which require a lot of theorizing and abstraction, are likely to be a chore for the ISFJ. The ISFJ learns a task best by being shown its practical application. Once the task is learned, and its practical importance is understood, the ISFJ will faithfully and tirelessly carry through the task to completion. The ISFJ is extremely dependable.
The ISFJ has an extremely well-developed sense of space, function, and aesthetic appeal. For that reason, they're likely to have beautifully furnished, functional homes. They make extremely good interior decorators. This special ability, combined with their sensitivity to other's feelings and desires, makes them very likely to be great gift-givers - finding the right gift which will be truly appreciated by the recipient.
More so than other types, ISFJs are extremely aware of their own internal feelings, as well as other people's feelings. They do not usually express their own feelings, keeping things inside. If they are negative feelings, they may build up inside the ISFJ until they turn into firm judgments against individuals which are difficult to unseed, once set (So true, its scary!) Many ISFJs learn to express themselves, and find outlets for their powerful emotions.
Just as the ISFJ is not likely to express their feelings, they are also not likely to let on that they know how others are feeling. However, they will speak up when they feel another individual really needs help, and in such cases they can truly help others become aware of their feelings.
The ISFJ feels a strong sense of responsibility and duty. They take their responsibilities very seriously, and can be counted on to follow through. For this reason, people naturally tend to rely on them. The ISFJ has a difficult time saying "no" when asked to do something, and may become over-burdened. (I can relate to this, because I can never say no to people if they ask me to do something, even if it means that I have to put something behind. I hate doing this, but I can't get myself to say no to people because then I feel like I'm offending them). In such cases, the ISFJ does not usually express their difficulties to others, because they intensely dislike conflict, and because they tend to place other people's needs over their own. The ISFJ needs to learn to identify, value, and express their own needs, if they wish to avoid becoming over-worked and taken for granted.
ISFJs need positive feedback from others. In the absence of positive feedback, or in the face of criticism, the ISFJ gets discouraged, and may even become depressed. When down on themselves or under great stress, the ISFJ begins to imagine all of the things that might go critically wrong in their life. They have strong feelings of inadequacy, and become convinced that "everything is all wrong", or "I can't do anything right". (hahah all of this is true!! wow..??)
The ISFJ is warm, generous, and dependable. They have many special gifts to offer, in their sensitivity to others, and their strong ability to keep things running smoothly. They need to remember to not be overly critical of themselves, and to give themselves some of the warmth and love which they freely dispense to others.

Post 3!!

Exercise 4: Pick a color


Okay so for this exercise, I chose to be purple. I'm fashionable,lovable and unique. I'm fashionable because as you can see i'm the new it color! you can see me everywhere and I got well with almost every color, especially black,yellow brown and some shades of green and this says that I'm very friendly as well. I'm lovable because lets just say barney!! I mean what more do I need to say? I am also very unique because I have that dark side to me where I'll stand out of the crowd. I'm unique because it is different when you see me on someone's nails or the color for someone's jeans and this makes me stand out and I love it!!


Exercise 5: The Private- Eye Game



First I checked out the closet and I saw that it was really organized. All the sweaters were put on one side, then turtlenecks and so on. I also noticed that its is also color coordinated so the rack starts from dark color to light color. The bottoms were like this too. Started off with casual jeans to dressy jeans to pants. I also noticed that she has a lot of dark/dim color than bright vibrant colors. It could say that she likes to dress up more professionally and mature than vibrant and fun. Next I looked at the cabinets and saw that her make up was all organized by having liquid stuff in one box and solid/powder stuff in another box. All the nail polishes in another box. It looked very neat and organized so I can say that this person likes it organized so she can find things easily and make sure that it looks good. However, when I opened the next drawer, which was full of accessories, it was a mess! She had different boxes for different types of accessories but it wasn't organized. It was just all over the place and I can say that she was either in a rush or is too lazy to clean because she got all the items that she needs to be organized like her make-up boxes but her jewellery isn't. So its either that she doesn't care too much about it or she was in a rush last night. The room also had a nice bed frame and chest of drawers that was matching with the carpet, drapery,photo frames and the comforter. This tells that she likes to decorate and make the room look nice.



Exercise 6: Seeing Yourself as Other See You



Even if I can have the best/ideal family in the world, I would still choose my family except I'll change them around a bit. So for my mom, I would have my mom except she will be stronger,taller,smarter and more confident. For my dad, he'll be the same, except he will be nicer, taller, and will be successfull in the business world rather than in medical field and my brother would stay as my brother but only two years older than me rather than 3.5.

Mother: Tissy is very strong and independent. She might come of as a hot tempered young women, but she does have a sweet, innocent side that is hidden inside her. Because she cares for other people and she yells at them at times not to hurt them but thinking that she is helping. I like how she could be very focused on things only if she wants too.

Father: I see Tissy as a strong individual who cares a lot for other people. She is not afraid of what other people might think about her. She is also a a pretty good singer than she thinks she is.

Brother: She has a good heart,fashionable and caring. She is a great sister to have because she doesn't try to sugar coat the truth. She says as it is and eve if it sounds bad at that instant, it helps everyone around her whether she realizes it or not.

Exercise 8: Your Ideal Environment


If I can pick any environment to live, I would choose to live in a rich neighborhood in Chicago with a big, huge house that has like six rooms, a pool, huge backyard etc. Like one of those celebrity houses that you see on MTV Cribs. I would also grow up in a big tight knit family. I will in the marketing department for a company. I would get to travel a lot for my work and make friends with others. I will ve very successful at what I do and my boss loves me. I'll also be surrounded with supportive/happy people. My family, even extended family is all very supportive and caring of each other. I would also want to live in an environment were friends and family mean a lot.

Exercise 9: Your Ideal Day

On an ideal day, I would wake up and look ten pounds skinnier and I'm done with school and already has a job and this is my day off. Its a summer morning so don't have to worry about shoveling snow or heating up the car. After getting ready, I'll have my breakfast already made for me at the table. After eating, I would make something for my family and then run some errands. After that, I'll have lunch with my husband somewhere near his work and after that I'll get to go shopping downtown with my girl friends. On an ideal day, I can shop all day and buy whatever I want without stressing too much about money. And after shopping, I'll go out with my friends for dinner and then come back to my place to have a sleepover. We can spend the entire night just watching t.v. eating more and just talking about girl stuff and then go back to reality the next morning!

Another one of the activites that I tried doing was writing a story and like I predicted it did not go well. I guess I had a negtive attitude from the beginning so I never gave it a chance. Either way, I tried writing a story and realized that it takes a lot of imagination and creativity to write stories than I thought. I also said that I would never want to be a writer in my life because I would always have to think about better stories and I like it when my schedule is spaced out rather than cramming it for few weeks and then having free time. To conclude, I didn't like the fact that I had to write a story and therefore I gave up pretty easily too which i guess is not good.

The movie Chocolat was very interesting. One thing that I kinda thought was that why they didn't have an English accent? Other than that I thought the movie was very inspirational but not a boring, documentary. It was very entertaining and had a good moral for the audience. I got the message that if you believe in what you do then other people will also believe in you. The only way you can become a true, successful leader is if you believe in yourself and have the patience to pass your knowledge to others and this was the difference between the male and the female leader in the movie. She taught everyone how to do things and wasn't discouraged when the entire town turned against her. She still believed in herself and continued what she was doing. Him on the other hand, didn't know if what he was doing was right or wrong and also didn't have the patience to listen to others for example, his reaction to the priest. Overrall I thought the movie was great!
