When asked to think about mentally ill people, what first comes to mind?
Crazy

How do you react to such people?
They make me anxious. I wonder what they might do next.

What are your thoughts or feelings about people in general with mental illness?
I know that most of the time they can't help it, so I guess,  I feel pity.

What do you do when you encounter a person with mental illness?
Well I have never had to interact with a person that has a mental illness. But, when I see someone that appears to be mentally ill I give them a wide berth.

 What are the sources of your perceptions of mental illness?
The media mostly. It creates misconceptions that aren't often corrected.

1) What is your emotional intelligence?
55
 Is your letter combination representative of your personality and thought processes?
It describes me almost exactly.

 How does your results compare to those in the chart above?
I fall into the ISTJ group. ISTJ is one of the larger groups consisting of 11-14% of the population. It doesn't make feel special. It's just my group.

Explain your reasoning.
Well I know how I am and how I reason. I now that there are lots of other people like me. So, this doesn't give me any sense of uniqueness.

2) How are you receiving a multiple intelligence education?
 I take math 4 so I am getting a mathematical education. I am taking pyschology which may fall into the interpersonal category, since it deals with the mind? Also I am a member of the band so I am getting a musical education.

 How is your multiple intelligence education limited?
 We have a lot of options here at Hillgrove. My only limitation is that I am unable to take all of the different classes that are offered. i.e. I would like to take weight training. I have put it on my list of choice electives for two years but I still have not had it.

Queendom Test

Snapshot Report
Recognition of Other's Emotions
55

You struggled somewhat when it came to recognizing emotions in other people. A score in this range indicates that:
Reading body language and facial expressions in social situations may be a bit of a challenge for you, which could sometimes leave you at a loss as to how to best to approach others.
This could also mean that you might misjudge others on some occasions.
Your ability to empathize is limited when you are unable to read others accurately

Big 5 test

Big Five Test Results

Extroversion |||||||||| 40%
Orderliness |||||||||||||||| 68%
Emotional Stability |||||||||||||||| 62%
Accommodation |||||||||| 32%
Inquisitiveness |||||||||||||| 60%


The Big Five is currently the most accepted personality model in the scientific community. The Big Five emerged from the work of multiple independent scientists/researchers starting in the 1950s who using different techniques obtained similar results. Those results were that there are five distinct personality traits/dimensions. Here are your results on each dimension:



Extroversion results were moderately low which suggests you are reclusive, quiet, unassertive, and private.

Orderliness results were moderately high which suggests you are, at times, overly organized, neat, structured and restrained at the expense too often of flexibility, variety, spontaneity, and fun.

Emotional Stability results were moderately high which suggests you are relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic.

Accommodation results were moderately low which suggests you are, at times, overly selfish, uncooperative, and difficult at the expense of the well being of others.

Inquisitiveness results were moderately high which suggests you are intellectual, curious, imaginative but possibly not very practical.

Freak or Phenom?

I think that Freud is a freaky phenom. His stages of development deal with some pretty weird stuff. The anal stage is one that makes me go "what?!". But, for him to figure all of these different things out I think it had to be fairly difficult.
