Study week is here and is the best time to study (YEAH RIGHT!). Ended up doing all the want-tos and returning home 6 hours later AND 150 bucks lighter in my pocket. Spent yet another day reading like 2 chapters of the lecture notes, out of the 13 that i'm supposed to UNDERSTAND.

Was told that human's fate and personality undergo a change every 5 years or so. But mine didn't seem to. I did that DISC thing twice and both yield the same results. This Enneagram thingy is the same. I am type FIVE- the Observers.

Here are the results:
Observers have a need for knowledge (NOT really. this applies only to knowledge that i find interesting) and are introverted (as if i dunno), curious (AHEM!), analytical (WOW), and insightful (I didnt know about that).

How to Get Along with Me

• Be independent, not clingy.
• Speak in a straightforward and brief manner.
• I need time alone to process my feelings and thoughts.
• Remember that If I seem aloof, distant, or arrogant, it may be that I am feeling uncomfortable.
• Make me feel welcome, but not too intensely, or I might doubt your sincerity.
• If I become irritated when I have to repeat things, it may be because it was such an effort to get my thoughts out in the first place.
• don't come on like a bulldozer.
• Help me to avoid my pet peeves (LOLX): big parties, other people's loud music, overdone emotions, and intrusions on my privacy.

What I Like About Being a Five

• standing back and viewing life objectively
• coming to a thorough understanding; perceiving causes and effects
• my sense of integrity: doing what I think is right and not being influenced by social pressure (YEAH! ^.^v)
• not being caught up in material possessions and status (hopefully)
• being calm in a crisis ( this i'm not so sure. i am NOT that calm in a crisis)

What's Hard About Being a Five

• being slow to put my knowledge and insights out in the world
• feeling bad when I act defensive or like a know-it-all
• being pressured to be with people when I don't want to be
• watching others with better social skills, but less intelligence or technical skill, do better professionally (yeap. why shldnt people who work hard derserve better? But there's no denying social skills are more important in life.)

Fives as Children Often

• spend a lot of time alone reading, making collections, and so on
• have a few special friends rather than many
• are very bright and curious and do well in school (NOT TRUE. I am so NOT curious and didnt do well in primary school either)
• have independent minds and often question their parents and teachers (parents YES. teachers NO. NOw i regret. Shld've bombard my teachers with a million and one questions to make their career more interesting! haa)
• watch events from a detached point of view, gathering information
• assume a poker face (TRUE!) in order not to look afraid
• are sensitive; avoid interpersonal conflict
• feel intruded upon and controlled and/or ignored and neglected (yeap. it's as if no matter what they do, there's sth that's always lacking.. Bad attitude i know, comparisions and more comparisons)
