Worked till midnight on some cabinet drawings that are due today, then got up at 5am to finish. I thought these kind of hours would stop when I became an employee?!
I think that if someone scored high on the test I linked, they would be an asshat. At 20, the narcissism supposedly "starts." The higher the score, the bigger the hat. It could even require a tophat, and a cane.
Myers-Briggs is rooted in Jungian psychology and the collaborator, who has the name of the test, probably devoted her life to it. This kind of stuff has to be statistically validated. Also, Myers-Briggs is seldom, if ever, administered alone. It is usually given with 1 or 2 other tests, typically in a HS or college career aptitude testing scenario. It's thematic and the career themes that link up to the types seem about right.
i got lots of respect for psychiatry and social workery, but i find aptitude and personality tests like that miss the point entirely. people aren't that easy to peg out.
lol donna. that is actually kinda sad.
about work...i dunno about you donna but i spend crazy amounts of time at my university gig. i'm helping to run the program so administration is a big chunk of it, but even setting that aside its a lot of work. Architects are not the only people who work late on a regular basis. everyone is expected to do it nowadays. which takes the fun out of it completely. Entirely impossible to justify being a smug arse if everyone is pulling all-nighters and turning their jobs into way of life. Very disappointed with work ethic lately.
sometimes, i kind of like those personality tests. same with reading your personality based on your sun sign or the time you were born. i think the problem is in what you do with them. telling someone they shouldn't be an architect based on the results of a test seems just wrong.
on the other hand, telling someone they shouldn't be an architect because of the limited potential might be acceptable. ya, i changed my mind. we should be telling kids not to be architects because of their personality profile.
hmmm. ya, probably shouldn't go into architecture. you palm lines say high competition drives wages down, there is a common lack of business sense among the sect of people who need good business sense, unemployment in the field is higher than it should be. maybe consider healthcare or finance.

That's why you integrate the results of various tests. The popular one is the Strong Interest Inventory. It speaks to the "personality fit" with an occupation. However, it doesn't address skills or aptitudes. Other tests identify those criteria. Together with the Myers-Briggs, those 3 tests could pull up a viable career path.
Sun signs are funny. While I don't believe in it as anything more than a coincidence, it's interesting that over 3/4 of my friends over a long time have been in the same element group.
Health care or finance? That's funny, too. Studying business often garners the same reaction as architecture: "Skyscrapers and big bucks." The one thing about business is that, except for some push for a GPA, most people who study it are fairly laid-back and have a "what will be will be" attitude toward employment, especially if only equipped with a bachelor's degree, and are content with company jobs that provide them with a decent salary and an acceptable baseline of respect. Some use it to run small family businesses, like restaurants, and others leave because there are no big bucks and sometimes not even that much stability ... and go into nursing, teaching, engineering, and a bunch of other fields.
What is funny is that is still how many mental disorders, like Narcissistic Personality Disorder are professionally diagnosed - via a questionnaire. I wonder if I am the only 'Healer' (Myers-Briggs) that went into architecture. How do you do paragraphs here?
i've taken some of these tests. i actually have a relation who works for an hr company that puts a lot of stock in myers-briggs and similar - and consults for business hiring based on them! from my results, i think they're about as trustworthy as numerology, astrology, and fortune tellers. i might trust the i ching more. it scares me that corporations would not only pay this kind of consultancy, treating these tests like science of a sort, but then base their hiring decisions on them. luckily, most architecture firms wouldn't be able to afford them!
as trustworthy as numerology, astrology, and fortune tellers. i might trust the i ching more
^-- that's what i'm saying. they're all good and reliable sources! tarot cards too. and augury. of course the i-ching is a 3,000 year old language, so anything that has been dependable that long would be a bit more reliable :)
i wouldn't make any important decisions based on these alone, but maybe sometimes your horoscope or whatever can help you decide on something if it's that or a coin flip.

I almost did, actually, but then I thought better of it.-
also i have a good bit (300-400) of vinyl, started out as mostly classic rock/jazz but now that vinyl is hip again easy to find re-released or new contemporary on wax. i love the artifact(yness) of a turntable and LP.
Louisville has good beer, great urban design funkiness, excellent bourbon, and wonderful people. Was good to see you Steven! (We were able to enjoy 3 out of the 4 this weekend. Next time we'll have bourbon too. I had some after you left, Angel's Envy which was delightful.)
On another note, I may have to e one of those crazy parents that camps out in line all night to get my child into dual-language kindergarten. And it's going to be cold. I hope somebody is around FB or Archinect to entertain me!
Found it. Back then we were able to joke about Ted Nugent being president of Michiganistan. Now the uttering of his name makes me retch - everyone has gotten crazier and more short-tempered, including me.
Jeepers did we have fun here back when the economy was good! I miss le bossman and ochona and A and puddles and all those fun people.
I survived! Temps bottomed out at 43 degrees. It sucked. But I got Abram all signed up, and even made it to work on time!
I did skip my first period lecture, opting instead to let the students regale me with stories of their spring break. One kid skinned and butchered 3 wild hogs, another went to South Padre with his grandparents, and the rest just slept, played video games, and watched movies.
I spent an hour last night researching Hot Dog Toppings Around the World. For the PTA, of course, because we are a global-focused school that brings our IB curriculum into every aspect of our school community, including the spring Fling Fair food.
I do enjoy learning new things. Even about hot dogs.

is there a test for being an asshat? whoever invented that Myers-Briggs scam certainly must score high, wouldn't they just?
That would be psychological type ASHT, right?

palm reading is totally viable.

Sarah,
What is the second language being taught along with "Texas English"?
two-way bilingual?
There are some great things in life. Here are two of them: speak at least another language and play a musical instrument.
Found it. Back then we were able to joke about Ted Nugent being president of Michiganistan. Now the uttering of his name makes me retch - everyone has gotten crazier and more short-tempered, including me.
Jeepers did we have fun here back when the economy was good! I miss le bossman and ochona and A and puddles and all those fun people.
English? So 20th century. I'd put my money in Spanish/North Korean combo.
It's already cold!! 57 and falling!
I survived! Temps bottomed out at 43 degrees. It sucked. But I got Abram all signed up, and even made it to work on time!
I did skip my first period lecture, opting instead to let the students regale me with stories of their spring break. One kid skinned and butchered 3 wild hogs, another went to South Padre with his grandparents, and the rest just slept, played video games, and watched movies.
did any of them skin their grandparents?
No, but apparently there were 6 girls, in only their skin, running down the street one night in south padre.
Damn those Texas start young....the again maybe they are want a be Janis Joplins.
I spent an hour last night researching Hot Dog Toppings Around the World. For the PTA, of course, because we are a global-focused school that brings our IB curriculum into every aspect of our school community, including the spring Fling Fair food.
I do enjoy learning new things. Even about hot dogs.
i'm curious donna, has anywhere else in the world come even close to chicago in their quest for the perfect dog?
Taking claim for world's best hot dog is just like taking pride in being the best Wallmart store designer.
