Describe your personality:
Ipersonic:
♥ Analytical Thinkers:
-Reserved, quiet persons.
-Like to get to the bottom of things
-Modest persons with sharp intellect, quickly and comprehensively grasp patterns, principles and structures.
-Analytical Thinkers like to work alone; their ability to concentrate is more marked than that of all other personality types.
-Analytical Thinkers have little interest in everyday concerns - home and workplace are chaotic, only concerns himself with banalities such as bodily needs when it becomes absolutely unavoidable.
-The acknowledgement of their work by others does not play a great role for them; in general,they are quite independent of social relationships and very self-reliant.
-Analytical Thinkers therefore often give others the impression that they are arrogant or snobby - especially because they do not hesitate to speak their mind with their often harsh (even if justified) criticism and their imperturbable self-confidence. Incompetent contemporaries do not have it easy with them.
-Whoever succeeds in winning their respect and interest has a witty and very intelligent person to talk to. A partner who amazes one with his excellent powers of observation and his very dry humour.
Adjectives:
Introverted, theoretical, logical, spontaneous, rational, analytical, intellectual, sceptical, pensive, critical, quiet, precise, independent, creative, inventive, abstract, eccentric, curious, reserved, self-involved, imaginative, determined, modest, careful, incommunicative, witty.
♥ Also, my Myers-Briggs personality:
-Idealists are incurable romantics who prefer to focus on what might be, rather than what is. The real, practical world is only a starting place for Idealists; they believe that life is filled with possibilities waiting to be realized, rich with meanings calling out to be understood. This idea of a mystical or spiritual dimension to life, the "not visible" or the "not yet" that can only be known through intuition or by a leap of faith, is far more important to Idealists than the world of material things.
Highly ethical in their actions, Idealists hold themselves to a strict standard of personal integrity. They must be true to themselves and to others, and they can be quite hard on themselves when they are dishonest, or when they are false or insincere. More often, however, Idealists are the very soul of kindness. Particularly in their personal relationships, Idealists are without question filled with love and good will. They believe in giving of themselves to help others; they cherish a few warm, sensitive friendships; they strive for a special rapport with their children; and in marriage they wish to find a "soulmate," someone with whom they can bond emotionally and spiritually, sharing their deepest feelings and their complex inner worlds.
♥Enegram Type Three:The Achiever:
-The "stars" of human nature,
-People often look up to them because of their graciousness and personal accomplishments.
-They are usually well regarded and popular among their peers, the type of person who is frequently voted “class president" or “home coming queen”
-Threes act as living “role models” and paragons because of their extraordinary embodiment of socially valued qualities.
-Threes will try to become somebody noteworthy in their family and their community. They will not be a “nobody.”
-They want success because they are afraid of disappearing into a chasm of emptiness and worthlessness: without the increased attention and feeling of accomplishment which success usually brings, Threes fear that they are nobody and have no value.
-The problem is that, in the headlong rush to achieve whatever they believe will make them more valuable, Threes can become so alienated from themselves that they no longer know what they truly want, or what their real feelings or interests are. In this state, they are easy prey to self-deception. From their earliest years, as Threes become dependent on receiving attention from others and in pursuing the values that others reward, they gradually lose touch with themselves. Step by step, their own inner core, their “heart’s desire,” is left behind until they no longer recognize it.
-Thus, while they are the primary type in the Feeling Center, Threes, interestingly, are not known as “feeling” people; rather, they are people of action and achievement. It is as if they “put their feelings in a box” so that they can get ahead with what they want to achieve. Threes have come to believe that emotions get in the way of their performance, so they substitute thinking and practical action for feelings.
-Threes report that when they realize to what extent they have adapted their lives to the expectations of others, the question arises, “Well, then, what do I want?” They often simply did not know; it was not a question that had ever come up before. Thus, the fundamental dilemma of Threes is that they have not been allowed to be who they really are and to manifest their own authentic qualities. At a young age, they got the message that they were not allowed to have feelings and be themselves: they must, in effect, be someone else to be accepted. To some degree, all of the personality types have been sent the same message, but because of their particular background and makeup, Threes not only heard it, they began to live by it. The attention they received by performing in a certain way was their oxygen, and they needed it to breathe. Unfortunately, it came at a high price.

Roleplay time! You're heading through acting school. What sort of roles would you be interested in being cast in?:
I wouldn't try hard to be different, or try overtly hard to be so. I think I'd just try to expand myself as much as I could so I could learn how to react to all different types of roles, even though I would be naturally drawn towards some rather than others. Lord knows I'm a horrible actor, so I could only get better, am I right? XD I already pretend day to day to be an outgoing sort of person, lord knows I just need to learn how to transfer that to actual acting.
It's your first read-through of the script with the whole cast, and right when it comes to your section where you get to read your first line, your co-star starts improvising on the spot. Would you be annoyed, find it ingenius and think it makes the script even better than before, stop and laugh it off, or talk to your co-star later about how you thought it was inappropriate? (Remember, this is how YOU react to it, so it can be completely different than the options given!):
XD I'll be honest, I've done very little acting in my time, and probably would freeze up at first. But once I realized what he was doing, I'd relax and try to think of how my character would react. The one time I did do some acting, my best character reaction came out of a complete improved mistake, so I suppose it'd be a good thing for both of us, as long as he didn't create an entire dramatic monologue for himself. Subtle acting is the best, not dramatic YEE VERILY and all that XD
Between takes of filming, you see your co-star playing with one of the children on set. What's your opinion on kids? I'm basically an only child who grew up in a very "adult" neighbourhood, so I've never had very much interaction with children, especially since I am the youngest on both sides of my family. That being said, they seem to like me xD I try my best to be good with them despite my lack of experience. It helps if the kid is well-mannered as well, and if it means making a kid happy to pose with a picture, I'm not going to refuse them, am I, even if I do feel uncomfortable being photographed. |D
What do you think about friendships and dating between co-stars?: I think I'd be a bit wary of relationships with co-stars, to be perfectly honest. You always see these actors falling more for the character the other person plays than the actual person themselves. But obviously when you're all involved in the same profession, I'd love to be friends. I think dating wouldn't be very professional, to be quite honest. If you're viewing your acting as a job, you can't let your emotions interfer with the production, either negatively or positively, even if you do have them. Besides adding a layer of tension though, I could see a long term relationship with another co-star, but only if they didn't act like an actor, if that makes any sense. XD They'd have to have a good head on them and realize that their profession doesn't make them above anyone else, or inflate their ego. I can't stand people with large egos.
What would be the hardest part of being an actor/actress for you?: Probably the fame and people thinking they have the right to delve into your personal life or take pictures of you wherever you are. I don't like my picture being taken at the best of times, and I'm naturally a very private person, I don't like people prying into my business. If I could go to work and do my job and what I love to do, and then go home, that's why I'd want to be an actor/actress. I'd want to be it for the right reasons, to make an impact with what I love to do and to tell a story.
What would be your favourite part of being an actor/actress?: Affecting people and making people happy. Having the prestige to help others, to inspire, to tell stories, and to generally make other people's lives more enjoyable, if only for an hour a week. I like the idea of making other people happy through your craft.
Anything else you'd like to mention? Nope. Just a detailed explanation. :3
