slated to a generalization??
i just took this really cool personality quiz on the bbc website....the results? well, i learnt that i am a strategist....the keywords being spontaneous, teeming with ideas, thinking with my head and being an introvert! and the most remarkable thing was that they ended it by saying that "strategists are most likely to be unhappy with their jobs!". that just does it doesnt it....they scarred me for life. i remember i took this one quiz which asked me a question "have you ever contemplated suicide". in a jiffy i punched down a big NO but i couldnt help thinking....what would my answer be the NEXT time i was asked such a question. in a way i DID contemplate suicide...even though it was just the thought of having thought of it! anyway, some more things that the quiz had bang on target was that i think of myself as bright, logical, intellectually curious, quiet, individualistic, logical, objective and that i am kinda slack where it comes to things like shopping, taking out the trash and paying bills. well, thank you mr.bbc quiz guy...for making me feel good about myself and insulting me by generalizing me into a stereotype! i know i know...we all bear resemblence to one stereotype or the other....and we end up being slotted with the ones we're closest to.....but that in no way means that one stereotype can define us completely! am i making sense? i know i am....so quit shaking your head! my career....well....bbc says that i should be in a technical or scientific field....*applause*....i am. bingo bingo bingo! and the last thing it mentioned was that i am "insensitive to the emotional needs of others". ummmm.....yeah, but i could give you a zillion examples of how someone was insensitive to my emotional needs....i didnt just yell at them in the face going "you know what....youre a freaking strategist!!!".
and then one sentence mellowed me down...."It's important to remember that no survey can predict personality type with 100 percent accuracy. Experts say that we should use personality type to better understand ourselves and others, but shouldn't feel restricted by our results."
so here i am again.....right before when i took the quiz.....and i am bored....what do i do now? perhaps i'll search for a 100% accuracy quiz and then go to war with the makers of that quiz.....or i'll just take a cold shower.........
