Personality Test; A Secret Weapon

This is my personality test result.
Ridiculously expressing my very self #whew
After doing another fad personality test*, I suddenly think that PERSONALITY TEST is actually can be administered in jama'ah. AHA~! #lightbulbstwinklingmoment

HOW COME? This idea is actually triggered by last week's "int.meeting" when my group was kind of dissecting "jama'ah's biggest flaws-slash-problems". What's that? Well, the problems are none other than COMMUNICATION and the person positioning system in every wajihah or wasilah (later to be called "ww"). Let's skip the first-capitalized problem which probably going to take 7 days to cut up. #smirk

At that "int.meeting", I was confusedly questioned about HOW or WHAT KIND OF METHOD being used to put every "int.member" perfectly in every "ww" we have? Is it only by seeing the previous track records of every "int.member"? Or else?

Honestly, here in Taiwan, I've found that some "int.members" were not precisely put in their "field of interests". This is actually THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS, because when the wrong person is placed in the wrong place...just wait until the disaster comes and swipe through everything. I know, this kind of problem keeps happening because there is not enough "int.members". Statistically, the ratio between the "int.members" and "ww" is lopsided; imbalance.

So, what's this post rambling connection with "personality test"? Hmm...IMHO, personality test can be used to dig deeper each "int.member"'s personality and preference. The similar example is a "placement test" before you get into your favorite English course institution. All in all, choose one trustworthy personality test and ask all "int.member" to fill it in. See the results/data and I think that'll make the person who is in charge to distribute "int.members" to all "ww" see the whole picture. Well...i think that'll do.

A Healthy Compromise

Source : http://tinyurl.com/7pshcol
Seriously, "compromise" is a word that has been dominating my everyday's life ever since I came to Taiwan. It's indeed a simple but profound word. In my opinion, the level of how profound it is to us, depends on our know-how to manage our ego. The better you hold down your ego, the higher compromise level you can get into.


With the shifted trait domination that currently happening to me, I find that compromising is an oh-not-as-hard-as-before thing to do. Although sometimes I can feel that my ego-slash-stubborn-sensitivity is seething to overtake my intention to compromise, but well...I can say that I'm getting good at it. I wouldn't say that I've mastering the art of compromising, because I know that I still need to work hard to be able to do so. But yeah...now I can "formulate" a bunch of "secret ingredients" to secure "a healthy compromise". 


Wait, a "HEALTHY COMPROMISE"? Yeah. Because IMHO, there's a MALIGNANT COMPROMISE. Just like "cancer" which is also known as malignant tumor, a malignant compromise can stress out the particular person who is trying to compromise the person(s)/situation he/she's currently facing. Why a compromise can turn out to be malignant? Well, there are a lot of possibilities and X factors. But mostly because it doesn't ended nor wrapped up nicely, in terms of the particular person still feeling burdensome after the process of compromising ended. Let's conclude that in order to do a "healthy compromise", we have to make sure that both parties are in a quite similar situation; satisfied.


All in all, do you want to know my "secret ingredients" to make a "healthy compromise"? I wouldn't care if you say "no" because I'm just going to blurt it out =p. Okay, here they are: 
1. 40% patience
2. 10% positive attitude
3. 10% self-reflection
4. 20% ability to highlight other's kindness/good traits
5. 20% conscience to maintain good relationship(s) with other(s)


I guess I'm not going to explain further regarding to those 5 points. Why bother calling it SECRET if it's meant to be thoroughly REVEALED? Haha~

5 (10?) Cool USB Flash Drive Uses




I...am...impressed! Although CNET only mentioned "five" on the video, they managed to elaborate USB flash drive usage to 10 points. Check out this link if you're as excited as I am #geek. Btw, I'm kind of intrigued to try point no. 8. Hmmm...let's see whether I have extra time to spare to mess around with my MacBook Air XD.
