Your Personality Type: The Independent Thinker

Independent Thinker (IT)
(Just visiting? Take the free test and determine your personality type!)

Independent ThinkerIndependent Thinkers are analytical and witty persons. They are normally self-confident and do not let themselves get worked up by conflicts and criticism. They are very much aware of their own strengths and have no doubts about their abilities. People of this personality type are often very successful in their career as they have both competence and purposefulness. Independent Thinkers are excellent strategists; logic, systematics and theoretical considerations are their world. They are eager for knowledge and always endeavour to expand and perfect their knowledge in any area which is interesting for them. Abstract thinking comes naturally to them; scientists and computer specialists are often of this type.

Independent Thinkers are specialists in their area. The development of their ideas and visions is important to them; they love being as flexible as possible and, ideally, of being able to work alone because they often find it a strain having to make their complex trains of thought understandable to other people. Independent Thinkers cannot stand routine. Once they consider an idea to be good it is difficult to make them give it up; they pursue the implementation of that idea obstinately and persistently, also in the face of external opposition.

Independent Thinkers are not the type who easily comes out of his shell. Speaking about their emotional life is also not one of their strong points. Anyway, social relationships are not particularly important to them; they are happy with just a few, close friends who find it easy to share their intellectual world. They find it difficult to establish new ties. In love, they need a lot of space and independence but this does not mean that their partner is not important to them. Independent Thinkers often make a cool and reserved impression on others; but this impression is deceptive: they can hardly bear it if people close to them should reject them. They prefer a harmonious, balanced relationship with a partner who shares their interests and with whom they can realize their visions.

You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are incredibly wise and perceptive. You have a lot of life experience. You are a natural peacemaker, and you are especially good at helping others get along. But keeping the peace in your own life is not easy. You see things very differently, and it's hard to get you to budge.

Coward Moves: A Tribute To Who's Who In My Life

I got this from Mishi.

The Rules:
1. Write something about 15 different people.
2. You can NOT say who they are.
3. If someone asks you which one is about them, you can NOT tell.

1. Thank you very much for everything. Thank you for all the advices you gave. I rarely ask for advices (you know that for a fact!), but you were there to listen and to give Godly advices. Thank you for all the words of encouragement as well. You made a great impact in my life.

2. We’ve known each other since then. However, we were not that close. I never expected that we will be this close (almost 24/7 closeness. Hehehe..). I want to know more of you. You’re interesting! You’re an “old soul” too. Surprisingly, you also like the things that I like (especially when it comes to music genres/artists). You just don’t know how you make my day easier and happier. Thank you for continually supporting me. I hope you liked my Puttanesca. Hehehe.

3. It’s good that we don’t talk as often as before. That’s the big difference you wanted. Right?! Hehehe.. God bless.

4. Thank you for the long conversations we had before. You made me realize that I’m only human---capable of being tempted. Hehehe.. I enjoyed every time that we’re together. I don’t know what lies ahead of us. But one thing is for sure, I’ll always be here for you. Waiting for almost 10 years is like a journey to nowhere, but I enjoyed it anyway. And I would like you to know that I can wait until forever, that is if God permits. Hehehe.. I hope and pray that you’ll get to know Him.

5. Thank you for following my unsolicited advices. Hehehe.. Thank you for being a good friend. Always remember that you’re a part of our family, so don’t be shy and hesitant when we ask you to join us even during “family day” events. I like your vibrant and colorful personality. You made me realize that life should be enjoyed with simple things, even the microscopic ones. Hehehe..

6. Thank you for everything. You’re also a part of our family. I guess you’re family and my family can be considered as one. Hehehe.. Thank you for being such a loyal and good friend. You stayed with us even in times of adversaries. Actually, those experiences made us stronger and closer to each other. I hope we’ll get to have more bonding time with each other. I miss the Starbucks and Yellow Cab days. God bless. Congratulations in advance!

7. Where are you now? We miss you so much! I hope you’re fine. You’re so busy!

8. Thank you for everything. Thank you for all the words of encouragement you gave. Thank you for the new visions and plans you shared to me. Thank you for believing in me. You’re a good person. I don’t believe in what they say about you. I know you’re a sincere person. Thank you for treating me the way I want to be treated (most of the time). I know that God has so many good plans for you. I just hate it when you show favoritism among your friends and subordinates. You have a great sense of humor. Please don’t let me wear stressed/destroyed pants again. I hope you’ll be more sensitive to others. Lastly, please don’t wear dark colored clothes, you look older with those.

9. You’re fantastic. I like your energy. I like it when I hear your stories and testimonies about God’s goodness and faithfulness in your life. Just keep on serving and trusting Him in your life and He will crown your efforts with success. I know you’re destined for success. I pray that God will continue to shower you with blessings and miracles. I also pray that your family will get to have a genuine relationship with Him. Don’t lose hope. I’ll be supporting you in prayers. I hope to have more “bonding time” with you. You’re such a great person.

10. You’re a good and loyal friend. I know you’re destined for success. I hate it when you start to consciously/unconsciously discriminate others. I never expected that we will be close friends after all the conflicts and wrangles that we had. I pray that God will continue to bless you especially with your thesis defense. Just continue serving and trusting God with all your plans and endeavors.

11. I really appreciate your kindness and the purity of your heart. You’re an art genius! I love working with you. You’re one of my closest friends. I like your energy and your ideas and principles. You’re very hardworking, creative and innovative. You’re one of the best people I’ve ever met. Your personality is oozing with greatness. You’re also an epitome of a servant-leader. You’re a true-blue fashion diva. You deserve to be happy. I pray that God will continue to reveal Himself to You. I pray that you’ll have a special encounter with Him.

12. Thank you for unconsciously being an alter ego for me. You’re a great person too. You’re one of my closest friends. I like the way you motivate others through your light and comic strategies. You have a great sense of humor. I hope that you’ll come to know and have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I’ve been praying for both of you (#11), that you’ll have a special encounter with the Lord and know Him more. You’re also a great leader. I appreciate those times that you helped me with our organization. I miss our “theater days”.

13. You’re a great singer. Don’t underestimate yourself. I know you can do many things for His glory. Don’t focus on what others will say about you. Don’t try to escape from your problems. Face them squarely. I know you can achieve many things. Just continue to believe in God’s power and continue to serve and trust Him. Don’t be fooled by men. Guard your heart always. Love yourself. Respect yourself. Give yourself a chance to enjoy God’s gifts. Life is too short. Wake up! Let go of your fantasies.

14. I never expected that you’ll end up that way. Well, I just pray that God will enlighten you both. Learn to forgive one another. Let God be center of your relationship. Try to talk and settle things over. I know God has planned so many things for both of you. Take it easy. I’ll be praying for both of you. Thanks for sharing your side of the story. May God bless all your business ventures.

15. I haven’t talked to you lately. I know what you’re going through. I just pray that God will intervene in your situation. I know how hard it is, but I know that God will always be there for you. Learn to entrust everything to Him. He is the answer to all your problems. You cannot do it by yourself. You must learn to surrender your situation to Him. Only He alone can see through our inmost being and can heal a wounded heart.

CLUE: Family members/relatives are not included.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's just follow the rules.
Thank God for all of them.
And the list goes on and on...

For Your Eyes Only

Let’s have a break for a while. (Whoohoo!!)

I love Optical Illusions. They seem to tell something new indirectly.

Here are some of them:

Is it "illusion" or "optical"?
Or is it "optical illusion" or "illusion optical"?

Who's wrong is it "me" or "you"?
I know it's "you". No, it's "me"?

What can you see: the "good" or the "evil"?
Who do you think will prevail?

Which is the hardest thing to do----to "teach" or to "learn"?

Easy? Hard?
Happy? Sad?
Bored? Encouraged?
Worn-out? Energized?

I may not have a 20-20 vision,
but I can see them clearly.
How about you?

Do you know why I love them?
Actually, it's just like LIFE.
It's a matter of perspective!

GOT IT?
(Can you see them clearly?)

Do You Have A Rich Personality?

I'm having a hard time to arrange and reminisce all the memories that we had while we were in our Caticlan Mission and Boracay Treat, specifically putting the right words to suit the right emotions. Whew! So, I decided to share this test that I took a week before our mission work. Try this also if you have time (www.thirdage.com) ! Be a millionaire, think like a millionaire! (Hehehe... At least kahit dun lang.. Thank God! I know I'll be one of them someday..sooner!!! Hehehe..)
Check out the result of the quiz that I took:

The Contender

Missed it by that much. Does that mean you'll never make it to the Valhalla of wealth, the Millionaire's Club? On the contrary, you show nearly every indication that you're on your way to full-member status. You're like a great and gifted pupil -- full of potential, and well trained. But you still might need to fine-tune your art before attaining full-fledged wealth-master status.

Can You Snatch the Pebble?

Clearly, you have studied the sacred scrolls and learned from the experts. You are a money scholar, and you've set out to build your wealth by the book. But maybe you interpreted the texts a bit too literally. You've got guts, toughness. Somewhere along the line you've learned perseverance -- an essential attribute for anyone who wants someday to be rich.

However, be wary of this gift. The extreme of perseverance is obstinacy -- a trait that can be incompatible with the business of making millions. Don't try to do everything yourself. Avoid being hidebound to the idea that you must overcome every obstacle, prove all of your doubters wrong. This may fuel your resolve but, ultimately, it will distract you from your primary mission: seeking opportunities, taking the measure of their potential and exploiting them. Sounds like a lot more fun than knocking your head against a wall, doesn't it?

The Right Stuff

Your family is one of the many factors in your favor. In "The Millionaire Mind," Dr. Thomas Stanley discovered that nearly all of the millionaires he interviewed for his book said that spending time with family was compatible with wealth building, not a distraction from it. Remember that the next time you're faced with the choice of rebalancing your portfolio or going to your daughter's swim meet.

What's more, you've got integrity. That's good, because on this path you'd be lost without it. Integrity and honesty are not just important for living well, but markers of financially successful people. If, as Stanley's millionaires point out, you do wrong by your clients, your suppliers, your employees, what chance have you to sell them your ideas and gain their trust?

Summary

You're on the right track. Pick your battles carefully and listen to your inner voice. Develop a love for what you do, or find another occupation that makes you want to leap out of bed each morning.
