This entry is reserved for me trying to label myself on that sheet we were handed in class. I believe that I relate mostly to the second row from the top, simply because I can't pick a single box to relate to. The row i'm talking about is the In-depth/revealing/skilled/through/sensitive/circumspect row. I say this because I don't live my life at the last row (the row of least 'exertion' of effort, and I don't live my life at the top row either, the row of the most 'exertion'. Rather, I'm a little above average, I give a little more than I need to, but not too much. I'll try to explain each of the boxes i've chosen below and give examples of how they relate to me:
In-Depth: I chose this as one of my boxes because I know myself to 'do the unexpected' (in a good way, of course), and when I learn something I do more than just store it in memory; I will try to apply it later on as well.
Revealing: I have to admit, if people ask me for advice, I really won't stop talking, haha. However, unless asked, I won't give much of an opinion.
Skilled: If I choose to 'better' myself in a particular field, (tennis, golf, school, driving, cooking, etc.) I do so and give it my full go. When I say I can or cannot do something, it simply means I can or cannot do something. Therefore, I set my limits, and set when I choose to break them.
Thorough: If I disagree or agree with something, I will simply end up stating it, whether or not the people around me agree with me or not.
Sensitive: I have to admit I am sensitive in the way that I can't cheat or steal from people, or break their hearts, no matter who they might be. My sympathy towards others is sometimes what bases some of my decisions, such as when I help others before I help myself.
Circumspect: If someone acts stupid, even though I know previously that they have more of a mental capacity than what they are demonstrating, I will make it known. If some stranger from the street acts stupid, I will most likely disregard it unless it's immediately affecting me or anyone close to me. But if I have a close friend acting the same way, I will probably give them a wake up call saying "do you know what you're doing?"
Of course, you can't merely define someone using these boxes, but it does give you some idea of people can be. Maybe, the "first draft" of the "blueprints" of someone. Needless to say, this was an interesting paper to go over, along with an interesting post.
