DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONALITY (how you see yourself, feel free to use different tests):
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.

DISLIKES: Rudeness, drunkards, loud talkers, idiots. Just general disrupters of other people's personal space. I think it's just rude, self-centered and uncouth, and it makes me itch XD
What do you look for in friends? Someone who you can immediately launch into a conversation with.
What kind of weather/environment do you enjoy? I always love the magic of snow around Christmas, but I love all types of weather. I love rain, I grew up on the "Wet" coast, I like small bursts of sunlight (I don't like SUNNY SUNNY though, I hate heat xD), and I love just fall breezes.
The finest school of witchcraft and wizardry in the world.
What would you like to study most? Probably Transfiguration. I think it would be difficult, like Latin for me, and it wouldn't come naturally, but it would also be ridiculously rewarding, just like Latin. I'd love to learn how to be an Animagus. Also DADA.
How would you spend your time as a student? Quidditch, reading, running, spending time on my own, exploring the ground and all the different fun it could offer. Going down with friends for a bite. I'd love to learn how to ride a broom, to fly.
Which branches of magic are you most interested in? -pokes above-
What makes the school stand out from other schools? That it has a reputation for being the best and that this reputation is known worldwide. That if you say the name of the school, people will understand just exactly what pedigree you come from and just how much work you've put into your time there, and consequently you are granted better opportunities once you leave school for it.
Describe your school in three words: A school with a good reputation, a school that's more like a society, a place where once you are inside it, you belong, and a school which makes you feel happy once you think of your school days there. If you have to go to school, at least let it be tolerable by the people you are surrounded with. (Not three words, but bugger it, three concepts xD)
Your school's theme music (provide youtube links - no more than 3!);
XD This has no relation to any of the scores, I just posted several scores I love.

A local church near where I live for school. I'd love if a whole building had this beautiful Gothic look.
Is there anything else you would like to add? Nope :) Perhaps an explination on your choice?
