0. Is there anything that may affect the way you answer these questions? For example, a stressful time, mental illness, medications, special life circumstances? Other useful information includes sex, age, and current state of mind.
There shouldn't be anything affecting the way I am answering these questions. I am a male, first-year math/cs university student.
1. Click on this link: Flickr: Explore! Look at the random photo for about 30 seconds. Copy and paste it here, and write about your impression of it. Flickr: Page Not Found
It is obviously Winter time with all the snow and winter attire the people are wearing. There is a young boy looking into the window of the building. Since it appears the boy is white, I think it is likely that this picture takes place in a first world country. If this is the case, it seems unlikely that the boy is looking into a window in search for food. I think it is likely that the boy found something inside the building that caught his eye. However, it is nighttime and this boy does look very young. Where are his parents? It does seem quite strange that the boy is just standing alone outside at night. Perhaps he is lost. It is hard to pinpoint exactly what story this picture is depicting without more details.
2. You are with a group of people in a car, heading to a different town to see your favourite band/artist/musician. Suddenly, the car breaks down for an unknown reason in the middle of nowhere. What are your initial thoughts? What are your outward reactions?
Initially, I wonder if there is someone with us who knows much about cars and how to fix them. I personally do not know much about cars so I would not be much help in the process of actually fixing the car. If there is no one who can fix the car, I would probably take out my phone and start looking up our car's problem online. If I can't find the solution online, then I start thinking about who we can call so that they can help guide us through fixing the car. If none of these options work, our last ditch effort would be to call some car company to come help us. If it came down to this option, we would most likely miss most, if not all, of the concert. However, we have no other choice so there is no reason to panic. We must stay calm to fix this problem as efficiently as we can.
3. You somehow make it to the concert. The driver wants to go to the afterparty that was announced (and assure you they won't drink so they can drive back later). How do you feel about this party? What do you do?
I think I would kind of want to go the party. I do not go to parties very often nor do I socialize very often so I think it would be good and healthy for me to go. Especially if my friends who I feel comfortable with are going. If I trust the driver not to drink, I would definitely go. Even if the driver ends up drinking, I would bring extra money just in case to pay for a cab or a bus.
4. On the drive back, your friends are talking. A friend makes a claim that clashes with your current beliefs. What is your inward reaction? What do you outwardly say?
I am open to new things. I also understand that everyone has different opinions and beliefs that should be respected. If it has anything to do with religion, I am very likely just to stay quiet. However, if it has to do with politics, and an issue I feel very strongly about, I think I would speak out about it. Despite the fact that everyone has opinions that should be respected, I still feel like a lot of opinions are simply stupid and wrong. If I have the facts to back me up, I can be very vocal about why this person is wrong. I usually win arguments that I feel very strongly about and when it is about a field that I am very educated in. I am usually capable of making people feel very stupid about their opinions. However, if the person who made this bold claim that clashes with my beliefs is not very bright, I may not bother arguing with them. I find it extremely irritating and draining trying to talk some sense into dumb people. It ends up being a huge waste of time and energy and it usually ends up with me getting very agitated and emotional.
5. What would you do if you actually saw/experienced something that clashes with your previous beliefs, experiences, and habits?
I am not quite sure what I would do. I guess it really depends on what is exactly happening and what is the belief. If it had to do with religion, I doubt I would do much. However, if I maybe saw someone treating someone else unfairly, I may step in to stop it. Whether or not I do this would depend on if I could actually do anything helpful and if I would also get very hurt myself or not.
6. What are some of your most important values? How did you come about determining them? How can they change?
I value happiness and success a lot. I think happiness is a product of success. Everyone has a different definition of success and that everyone's definition should be respected. However, if someone's definition of success involves hurting other people or treating others unfairly, then something should be done about this person. This is because I also strongly value equality. I believe in treating others fairly and that no person should be hurt in order for someone else to be successful.
7. a) What about your personality most distinguishes you from everyone else? b) If you could change one thing about you personality, what would it be? Why?
I am most known for being very quiet and smart. I think a lot of people are usually surprised when I do start talking a lot. This usually happens when I am with my friends who I am close with. I usually exert a lot of confidence when I give out presentations in class. Additionally, a lot of people describe me as very funny. I am very goofy and can act quite immature a lot of the time. I have a sarcastic sense of humour. I also laugh and smile a lot so it is usually very easy for people to approach me. I think people enjoy spending time with me because of the happy aura my presence usually brings. If I could change one thing about my personality, I wish I could be more social. I think if I was more social, I could make friends a lot easier and I wouldn't have such a difficult time in the real world.
8. How do you treat hunches or gut feelings? In what situations are they most often triggered?
I usually trust my hunches and gut feelings. If I am solving a math problem and something just doesn't seem right, I would start thinking about it a lot in order to find out where I went wrong. If I am stuck on a math problem, I could be occupied with something else or I could be sleeping and all of a sudden the solution pops up in my head. Additionally, I can usually tell what kind of person someone is and whether or not the decision I am making is a good one or not. When I start getting these weird hunches, I begin to reevaluate what I am doing to decide whether or not what I am doing is right.
9. a) What activities energize you most? b) What activities drain you most? Why?
I enjoy listening to music, sleeping, watching Youtube videos, playing Dota 2, watching TV shows and movies and browsing reddit and the Internet. The activities that drain me the most are being in large groups. I love being with friends who I am very close with because I can talk and socialize a lot and it makes me feel good. However, when I am in large groups, I always feel like I do not fit in for some reason. They may be talking about a topic I am not interested in, or there are people present who I do not feel comfortable talking about certain things with. Perhaps it is also because I rarely get the chance to talk, although I do also feel uncomfortable sometimes when I am forced to talk in large groups when I do not want to. I spend a lot of time thinking and daydreaming when I am in large groups.
10. What do you repress about your outward behavior or internal thought process when around others? Why?
I do not talk a lot about my personal life when I am with others. I have had 2 close friends throughout high school who have only recently found out that I was mixed. I thought they knew all this time but it turns out that I had never told them. Additionally, I usually have a lot of good things to say about a lot of people but I usually do not have the confidence to tell them face-to-face that I think they are great. Also, I like to move around a lot when I am listening to music alone but I do not do this when around others.
