personality

For my organizational behavior class i had to take a personality test.. here are my results.. how do you think i compare?

 

 

 

BUILDER/negotiator

About Your Personality Type

You tend to be traditional. Home, family, job and community are all central to you. You like being firmly embedded in your social and business groups and you feel deeply responsible for just about everyone around you. You can be fiercely protective of those you love.
You are skilled at managing people. You are sympathetic and cooperative; you are also hard working and display a good deal of caution and common sense. And you can be very patient. So you can complete detailed, painstaking jobs more easily than most people.
You enjoy building social relationships. You have excellent verbal and people skills. You are talented at achieving solutions to complex problems so that all involved feel fulfilled. You have a hard headed too. You tend to respect rules, schedules and routines.
You also see the big picture, have a fine imagination and can be remarkably intuitive. You like to play with ideas and examine the meaning of life. And because you have a genuine sense of community, you seek projects that enable you to contribute to a more stable world.

Builder primary traits

  • Traditional
  • Social
  • Loyal
  • Dependable
  • Patient
  • Community oriented
  • Orderly

Negotiator secondary traits

  • Sees the big picture
  • Imaginative
  • Intuitive
  • Verbal skills
  • Empathetic
  • Trusting
  • Introspective

In Love and Relationships

You are relaxed and easy to be with, so you attract a range of friends and admirers. But you are picky. You are attracted to those who share your values; moral fiber in a partner is important to you. You also admire those who respect rules, schedules, and traditions. And you particularly admire those who have a sense of social responsibility--who spend their time and money on events that are charitable or strengthen family, business or the community ties. You see the big picture and see way down the road; so you like to prepare for the future. And although you enjoy people who play with ideas, your "true love" must complement you. You admire those who are direct, analytical, authentic and assertive and can enjoy your orderly and compassionate nature.

Relating to others

You are somewhat stoical. You believe that difficulties are inevitable. With this practical attitude, coupled with your dependable, cooperative and "can-do" spirit, you often become a central and effective player in your social and business networks. You are generally calm and entertaining, too, and always dedicated and reliable. And with your imagination and people skills, just about everybody likes you.

Things to be aware of

  • You can be so modest and self effacing that some are likely to regard you as a door mat. Speak up and defend yourself.
  • You can be overly critical of others.
  • Your caution can jeopardize your curiosity.

Spark Factor

You tend to naturally gravitate to the BUILDER/directors.

Bible Reading Family Challenge

My mom always comes up with fun bible challenges for my family each year. A few years ago our whole family attempted to read through the bible. I think about 3 of us finished the whole thing and the others came very close. This year my family is doing the

John Newton Challenge 2009
52 Week Bible Reading Plan

---->>>> Check it out here!  <<<<---

I will admit that the first 2 weeks i was slow to get started even though each week's suggested verses only takes about 15 minutes.

By the end of the year you will read through Matthew, Proverbs and the first 45 chapters of Psalms.

Which when you look at it is a very small amount of the bible, but what a great way to challenge yourself to stay in the word. Not a huge overwhelming list of how to get through the bible in one year, but a way to be able to take an intense look at 3 books of the Bible.

Normally when i go to read a psalms i will just think of a random number and then read that. The first week had us read psalms 1... which normally i wouldn't of just picked for a random reading in the past and through the first two verses i already felt of it as a challenge to my life:

 

Book One

The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked

1:1 Blessed is the man
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
2 but his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law he meditates day and night.

3 He is like a tree
planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers.
4 The wicked are not so,
but are like chaff that the wind drives away.

5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
6 for the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.

Psalm 1(ESV)

 

The first two verses are really a challenge to me...

1:1 Blessed is the man
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
2 but his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
 
 
Anyways. If you have been searching for a way to stay in the word this new year ( even if it is a little after the beginning) check out this easy challenge and see if it would work for you.

Wow friends.

 

Sorry... i didn't know that i hadn't written in two weeks!

Things have been crazy. I started my last 5 classes of my college career and they are going to be super hard. I will have about 60 pages of papers to write.  this stinks... my last semester was supposed to be easy.

I am trying to work on all the wedding details and be a good wife to be haha.

I am trying to think about what else to write... but my life has been boring over the past two weeks. besides my Krazy Kristmas bridal shower which you can read about on Keith and I's blog.

fun stuff

 

So now that school is over i have to plan everything for the wedding that i haven't even thought about yet. Looking at blogs like www.stylemepretty.com makes me feel a bit insecure about how to my a very low budget wedding looks freaking sweet!

Does anyone have a suggestion of their favorite thing they had in their wedding or in a wedding they saw.? I need to have some extra inspiration. Any cost cutting savy tips?

 

haha

I am going to start my christmas shopping tomorrow.

I know it is less than a week before Christmas, but that is all good. Believe me the stores will still want my business.
