I'm Getting Nervous Because I Forgot To Blog

Hello hello!

If I had a dollar for every time the boys said hello in that song, I'd have $39.
Herr Dreier told us to talk a bit about the upcoming AP Psych exam so I suppose that's what I'll do. I won't say I'm nervous because I'd be lying, but I definitely plan on studying more as the date approaches. I think the hardest part for me will be keeping all the people straight. Maybe I'll make flashcards or something. I think group studying is a great thing and I'm looking forward to doing more of that. I think we all know more than we know we know. It's just a matter of recalling the information we have stored in our brains. I think the best thing Mr. Dreier can do at this point is give us a few review days. I think the coolest thing of all would be to have a sheet outlining the main points of each chapter, but I suppose the response to any request of that nature would be make your own. I'll probably do that sometime. I think the practice questions and the online quiz practice will be very helpful in the coming days. Other than that, I don't have much to say about anything.


In preparation for the test, here is the weirdest AP Psych Review song video ever (it's Ke$ha):

My favorite lyric is "if you're bipolar take salty lithium tonight it'll help your mania plight".

Make sure you take the salty lithium, not the regular stuff.

Enjoy!

A Suspicious Quiz

Okay so I finally took the personality quiz and here are my results:

Extroverted (E) 50% Introverted (I) 50%
Sensing (S) 50% Intuitive (N) 50%
Feeling (F) 52.94% Thinking (T) 47.06%
Perceiving (P) 56.76% Judging (J) 43.24%

Your type is: ISFP
"Artist" Interested in the fine arts. Expression primarily through action or art form. The senses are keener than in other types. 8.8% of the total population.
Alrighty then. Although I'm not entirely convinced a website can give you an accurate personality assessment with just a few questions but it's a rough estimate I suppose. I guess I see where this website is coming from. I definitely agree with the introvert part. Sensing was a source of slight confusion for me; I consider myself to be a bit more intuitive. I'd say that my perception rather than my senses are "keener" but that's a personal opinion. I'm definitely interested in the fine arts; they're definitely a source of inspiration for me even though I will not be pursuing them next year. Perhaps a little bit more shocking is the fact that I wish I was more artistic. I often have the strong urge to express myself artistically but I am not physically able to draw/paint anything beyond stick people. It's definitely a source of frustration but I've learned to compensate in other ways. I think the thing I'd like to know most about this survey is where these population percentages are coming from because it seems like most of the people I talked to about it have received a percentage that puts them in the minority of the population. Which personality type is the majority falling under? I wonder...
