I .high S
Better late than never....
So, I am not a fan of this kind of psychological tests and stuff. I am a big skeptic. With that said, I have to accept that this one was kind of accurate. I am very optimistic and patient, and definietly like working with others, while at the same time don't like change and I am not very objective about my decisions. I guess I am a little like what it says, although I also think that the "I" and the "S" can be a little contradictory in some points. Anyways, I think it is a little helpful to know this kind of things about someone, specially when you have to work with them. It gives you a sense of what to provide or prevent in order for the person to be and feel in a succesful and productive environment, or rather react this way to any environment. Nevertheless, I do have to say that this also presents a certain danger. With all of those very specific personality traits, one can fall into the temptation of putting people into that box, and then not be ready for surprises. I am a firm believer of people being able to change.

About the blogs...
There is so much to say about the blogs, but at the same time so little. Is not that I don't like the blogs, but that I do like them. I like the fact that it is a creative way of expressing yourself and communicating with others in class about class activities and all. However, this is where I have a problem with the blogs. One has to do too many! I mean in terms of responding to other blogs, a minimum of 3 to even 5 sometimes is a lot of writing and thinking, there is only so much one can write about the same thing. Maybe if we had to do less responses...that would do. I really do like that it is a unique way of maintaining class communication. With such a big class, it is almost impossible to get the thoughts of everyone on class activities, so the blogs come in handy there. I think they can work better with some minor changes, like the responses.
I really dont think I wil continue writing on my blog after the end of this class. Simply put, I don't like putting my thoughts or myself out there in the public sphere of internet. But I got to say, it was an interesting experience.
