darling i'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream (;

mrs. halfen challenged us this week to take 5 personality tests. if i didn't already know my personality was slightly crappy, i needed a test to confirm that. i'm kidding!! anyways, here are my results.

Jung Typology Test


i've taken a test like this before and have gotten similar results. the test offers a variety of questions, with some asking how you react to certain situations, some asking about your morality, etc. my result was "esfj", meaning i have qualities of the extroverted, sensitive, feeling, and judgmental. i was not too surprised at these results, since my personality matches up.  i would consider this test pretty valid since it bases its results off of multiple subject areas instead of one. 

Attraction Test


this test caught my attention. i always told myself that i had a type, and i wanted to see if this test confirmed that type. the results told me that i prefer rebelliousness as much as the average person (moderately), i am somewhat attracted to seductiveness, cheerfulness is relatively unimportant (whaaat??), intelligence is not really what i'm looking for (this can't be right), and i strongly prefer those who are trendy. honestly, this test didn't hit the major points i was looking for. it was based on my liking to a bunch of outdated pictures of men, which doesn't really determine who i'm attracted to (sorry!).

Hogwarts Sorting Quiz


i always love taking these tests! i always got the same result (hufflepuff), but i wanted to see if this in-depth test would differ. the test offered around 100 questions evaluating your personality and determining what you would do in certain scenarios. much to my surprise, i got slytherin, the house that contains the cunning and resourceful. i never thought i would ever get this result, because i never associated myself with those traits. however, this test certainly opened my eyes to some qualities i never thought i possessed. 

Implicit Associative Test


i was scared to take a test determining whether i was racist. i would like to think i'm not, but there was only one way to find out. much to my satisfaction, i have no preference between europeans and african americans. the testing style was interesting, and i don't know how it determined my result. it was created by a program from harvard, so it must be pretty valid!

The Dark Side of Personality

(whoops i forgot to take a picture of my results!!)

this test "measures the dark triad traits of machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy". the results stated that i had a moderate level of narcissism (thinking highly of oneself), a somewhat high level of machiavellianism (concern with social image), and a low level of psychopathy (impulsiveness). i would say these results are pretty accurate, especially pertaining to machiavellianism, because i have been particularly conscious of how i act around others. this test just comes to show my weaknesses in personality and what i need to work on.

here's an article that explains what determines our personality! i found many of the psychologists' findings to be true, so give it a read and see what you think!

hey y'all, we're back at it again with another blog post!! this week we have to create a superhero based on the my birthday is august 28th, so my superhero has to do with the motor cortex (voluntary movements) and serotonin ("feel good" emotions). origin story one gloomy night in a small town called georgiana, seventeen-year-old noelle grimsky was walking back from her 9-to-5 job at the local grocery store. as she walked down the sidewalk towards her house, a huge wolf-like creature barreled towards her, eventually slamming poor noelle to the ground. the impact was great; her head took some heavy damage and it was unknown whether she would survive. within two hours, she miraculously opened her eyes and was able to function normally. the next few days were strange for young noelle. she was able to feel other people's happiness radiating off of them, and this allowed her to perform inhuman movements. these movements allowed her to be physically superior to all...

this week, i found an article describing the impact of poverty on children's brain activity . in an experiment, a team of psychologists used a fNIRS to evaluate the brain activity of 42 children in rural india. they tested their visual working memory, and were shocked with the results. it was found that the children living in poverty showed weaker brain activity and poorer distractor suppression in the left front cortex of the brain. this is due to a variety of factors, such as parental income, education, caste, and religion.  it saddened me to find out that poverty not only took a toll on individuals physically, but mentally as well. this made me appreciate all of the blessings i have and the environment i am raised in. the fact that many families in rural areas are trapped in a constant cycle of destitution is the harsh reality the world has to witness. however, the study does shed light on brain plasticity, saying that there is hope for children to break the mindset assoc...

i see you're interested in taking psych. good choice! this course provides you with interesting information pertaining to what makes you, well, you! you should be well aware that this is an AP course, so no easy work here! the bulk of this class is filled with tons of vocab, so i suggest doing a bit each day so you won't have to procrastinate the day before the test. speaking of tests, study hard for them. they will become much easier if you know all the vocab since the tests are multiple choice questions applying to those words. my favorite activity this year was modeling the brain with an orange and different pieces of candy. even though we didn't get to eat the product (that would've been gross, anyway), it was pretty cool to be able to hold a replica of our brains in food form. this activity will leave your hands smelling like oranges and you begging for more. to ms. halfen: i suggest doing less content digs because students just mindlessly copy facts down and...
