If you are one of my many facebook pals, you may be one of the people unlucky enough to know that I love taking quizzes. Even if they are stupid quizzes, like "Are You a Potato?" (BTW, that's a classic quiz. Love it.) So naturally, I was bound to run into a quiz result that I wanted to share on my blog.
I took that stinking personality test that gives me a different result every time I take it (I must not know who I am, because apparently I consistently answer incorrectly, otherwise I would have the same result every time). This time I agreed with about approximately 94.76% of the personality profile it constructed based on my responses to the quiz's questions. I most like this statement:
INFPs are usually talented writers. They may be awkward and uncomfortable with expressing themselves verbally, but have a wonderful ability to define and express what they're feeling on paper. INFPs also appear frequently in social service professions, such as counselling or teaching.
So I think, heck, it might not be an accurate quiz, but hello? Has anyone ever heard me speak? It's generally a miserable experience. I have to start my sentences over more times than the average person starts their sentences over, and the fact that I'm an English major puts even more pressure on me to speak correctly. When I make mistakes in speech and people point them out to me, I usually remark on the fact that I paid a lot of money to learn how to use words and grammar properly, and I'm not going to be a good speaker unless someone pays me for my skills. But really, it's a cover. I make mistakes and I cringe at myself a lot of the time.
So yes, I'm awkward and uncomfortable with expressing myself verbally. But I love paper. Paper gives me multiple chances, and it doesn't provide any feedback. It's just a canvas, and I can work on it as long as I need to until I feel comfortable and confident about what I've said. And I already know that I like counselling and advising and teaching and leading and related activities. So happy day, what a test result!
Also, question: does anyone have special ways to prepare ramen noodles or to use peanut butter? I've got those food items in my cupboard, but I've been ignoring them lately. I want a way to make them more appealing.

you are one of the best people i have ever seen in front of people! you take on another persona and it is fun to watch. i even discussed it with jody one time when you were up in front taking care of something...you get a particular tone, stance, and you are wonderful with your delivery and movements. it's like you took every good gene that your father and i have and mushed them together for yourself!
serious. i love watching you give a talk, a presentation, or simply running a meeting. i get a huge thrill out of watching "MY DAUGHTER" up there being remarkable. :)
Mike's Noodles
4 packages ramen
1/2 c milk
2 T miracle whip
1 t chicken bouillon
1 can cream of chicken
1 package chicken gravy
boneless chicken breast
well, you probably won't need the four packages unless you're sharing but the rest stays the same. don't put the seasoning in the ramen when you cook it. cook the chicken and shred it. mix the rest together and bring it to a boil and then simmer for 1 minute. dump in the shredded chicken and put it over the ramen. i love this stuff but rich had it for many more years so he burned out on it.
Britt! I love the way you speak, and write! And let me tell you that I am so happy that you asked about peanut butter. Peanut butter goes on everything!! We have it all the time in China, I mean ALL the time! lol. It goes on everything, oreo's, crackers, bread, cakes, brownies, my ultimate favorite is just straight up peanut butter on a chopstick. Try it out, it is great :). As for noodles, just fry them and put soy sauce on them. Oh you could also try putting the peanut butter on the noodles, I'm sure it would be great :). Much love!
Fun stuff. i don't have any good ideas for ramen OR pb... but if i have an epiphany, i'll let you know in real life :) I like this personality test, the result I got was also very close to how I really am. It's fun to read 'about yourself' :)
