…trying to write every day this month!
Lots to share, wish I had my life better documented. Tonite I attend a “Network” thing at church that’s supposed to help me find my spiritual gift(s). I’m sensing a total emotional breakdown! I wish I could get this monkey off my back. Some days I’m in “acceptance” mode. Some days I’m in “God has me here for a reason” mode. Some days I’m actually excited in the sense that I feel God working in me for His great purpose. And then other days I feel as if I have no purpose in life. So, there’s that emotional roller coaster. Except, it’s not a daily thing, sometimes it changes every hour, perhaps even every minute…
So, what does one do in this situation? Take career personality tests!
So I “discovered” a few things taking one test. Out of 100, I scored 99 on Writing, 89 on Art and 88 on Food Service! Which means I’m going to make great looking “artistic” food and then write about it!
I took one of those “Standardized” personality tests which tells me I am an ENFP. Here’s what that supposedly tells me about myself:
ENFP’s have a tendency to overextend themselves in both their physical and emotional commitments. Their proclivity to procrastinate and to overlook details complicates their circumstances. ENFP’s often move on to new ventures without completing those they have already started. Their charming personalities can show signs of irritability and over-sensitivity when their desires to please different people come into conflict. During times of stress, ENFP’s feel alienated. They then engage in deceptions that serve to obscure what is occurring within themselves.
The ENFP finds symbolic meanings behind the immediate circumstances. These meanings are construed a foreboding problems when ENFP’s are under stress. Having a pervasive feeling of losing control over their own independent identities, ENFP’s will feel virtually split apart by intruding circumstances. They will be “besides themselves” and “just not all there” — as if something, or someone, has taken away the essence of who they are. Not feeling like themselves, the ENFP will become subject to their own feelings of shame for being a phony, a fake or an impostor. If stress continues to grow, they may attribute malevolent schemes to others in order to explain away their fears.
So, is that me?
I’m now planning on taking all this self research, combine with the Network thing and also take my likes/dislikes, throw it all in a pot and pull out “the” thing for me.
Yeah, right.
