1. During your youth (7'ish to 18), What did you focus on the most? What activities did you like and why? What aspect of life was lax in attention?
I focused on G.I. JOES early on, then pizza... lots and lots of pizza. I would say my imagination. I was big on movies and I actually wanted to make movies with my home camera. I even made a Lego movie at one point. My high school days were spent on chasing girls and hanging out with friends. (OMG, and watching the O.C.) If I didn't fall asleep in class, then I was the class clown. However, my senior year, I got really serious and got all my assignments done, as fast as possible. Basically I only had two classes my senior year and was ready to end it. I had a "band-aid approach" to finishing school, which made it fast and easy for me... so I could get back to the partying!
2. You're in you senior year of high school (or whatever equivalent) and you are looking back over the last couple of years. What was your favorite aspect of the schooling experience and why? Favorite subject and why?
I strangely, always enjoyed writing, but I was horrible with grammar. I was never much of an athlete, but I still participated in gym class. I really only liked football. I not really answering this question correctly, because I already answered most of this in question 1.... Anyways, to go back to the writing thing, I always loved conveying experiences through the form of storytelling that inspires the reader. Books like, "Catcher and The Rye", really did that for me.
3. A couple of friends call and invite you out to a restaurant. While there, you all are pleasantly conversing and one of your friends makes a comment that irked you. What are you're thoughts and how do you respond?
(I'm answering this in present day, not high school days, which by the way, I'm a lot different now days.) I get really transparent and call it out. Especially if its one of my really close friends, I have no problem cussing them out for something stupid, the moment I'm irritated. If its really bad and its a group of people, I've been known to just storm right out of the place, letting my presence get felt on the way out. I'll latter vent out my frustrations, either in my thoughts or speaking to somebody else about it.
4. Your schooling is done and it's time to strike out into the world!! What sort of career do you want to go into and why?
I'm assuming we're still on present day? I'm currently still working on my bachelors degree (By the way, I'm a much better student these days and love sparing with my professors.). My degree is in business, but like everybody else, I have no clue! But imagining I'm done with school, I would probably play a leverage game with my job. Basically I would try to negotiate a pay raise or promotion (Either way, I want more money.) Or I would take a higher paying job, after working with a temp agency and getting my resume out there. I probably would work on some sort of secondary income, I just don't know what that is yet, or what form that would take.
5. A friend is getting married and they put you in charge of the cake. You narrowed it down to two places to make an order. The first is a bakery with whom you got a good relationship with. The other is a well-known cake maker to whom everyone goes to (your friend hints to it as well). Which one do you choose and why?
Ok first off... I'm in charge of the cake? Really? That's not even fun! I rather be in charge of a wedding dress (I'm a straight male by the way!), then to ever take the cake duties. I would never go to a bakery, despite my "good" relationship with said bakery. Also, if their is a well renowned, "Cake Maker to whom everyone goes to", why do you need me? Sorry, but I would pass, and just give them a number to call... mission accomplished.
6. You get into an argument with a friend/family member/co-worker. They criticize one of your personality traits. What would most likely be the focus of their critique?
Umm... it depends on what was said honestly. Whatever they say about me on a personal level, would probably go over my head honestly. I would probably be to focused on why their attacking my personality traits. I would probably go into a deep dive on MBTI and how we are different
I would most likely defend any characteristics about me and wouldn't let up. Unless I felt the conversation is truly pointless, then I just move on.... But if your asking about a specific personality trait? ....Honestly not one comes to mind. I've might of challenged some of my close friends in the past, with transparency. But overall, I don't do that with most people.
7. It's New Years! You and your friends are out and about after a party. Being drunk, one of your friends suggests to do something....'questionable' (Nothing serious. I.e, drugs, escort, etc.). What are your thoughts and how do you respond?
Wow, this sounds like every new years party, I've every been to. I tell them to go knock themselves out! Let me know when your out of the bathroom and you want to play flip cup. Most of my friends know by now that I'm NOT into drugs. But every time I'm asked, I usually just avoid it or pretend its not happening. Even an escort wouldn't be tempting. I'm no saint by any means, but I like to think I have a little bit of dignity in my nobility.
8. A new art gallery opens up and your friend wants to go to the grand opening. Both of you analyze all the paintings and sculptures. What about these works warrants the most attention from you? Why?
According to my art class I took recently at my university, I'm looking at the objectivity or message the artist was trying to convey and if they accomplished a consistent narrative of dialogue with the rest of their audience... Then I would say fuck this! Lets go to a bar... after 10 mins... 10 LONG mins.
9. You have been saving up and decide to buy a new car. At the dealership, you peruse the lots. What are the criteria and factors that influence your choice? Which one would initially be your main focus?
First off, I'm playing some serious mind games with the salesman. I want to know if he is actually listening to my intent or... if he's listening to his small flappy nut-sack of an ego. At this point, I've done all my research on the car and finances. All that's left is playing mind games with the sales rep and the finance guys. Then doing the same thing to 3 other dealerships. Then make my finale discussion on a set date.
10. Yep, you now have a kid (sex of your choosing)! Years pass and they are now 15 years old. You notice their personality traits are the complete opposite of how you were when at their age. Describe how they are. Describe the possible conflicts that would arise between both of you due to differing temperaments.
Oh god, no kids please! .... That's hard to say, because I was just as much spontaneous as I was structured. I think going through my parents divorce as a teen impacted the way I behaved in school. That's probably why I was, the way I was. Because I'm far different now in the classroom, at 28. "IF" I ever have kids, I might get annoyed with the practicality aspect. Even though I might have a practical personality (Yet to be determined) I would question my child's ability to apply abstract thinking. I don't want a black and white dull point of view. That being said, I don't want my child to deviate to far from reality that, my child cant see in-front of their face! But I think not being able to connect the dots would frustrate me more. I want my kid to have a mind of its own and express itself with confidence.
Thank you If you reading this! Thank you even MORE if your typing me.
Thanks!
