  • Philosophy Type

    I just took a test `What is your philosophy type?`

    Here are the results:

    Your recommended philosophy-guru is ZENO OF CITIUM.

    Key fact: He taught in a stoa, the Athenian supermarket, and hence founded the school of philosophy called Stoicism.

    Must have: An interest in everyday life, for it is there that you learn life’s big lessons.

    Key promise: An ability to face anything, no matter how disastrous.

    Key peril: To be “stoical” is to turn your back on passion.

    Most likely to say: “If you have integrity, no-one can harm you.”

    Least likely to say: “Forget prudence! It won’t help you anyway.”

    Basically, it means that I’m a natural cynic with attributes of a stoic sages. Whatever!

  • Personality Test

    An hour ago, I took a personality test based on Jung Typology Test™ (Myers-Briggs typology) and got a personality type of ISTP:

    • 78% – Introverted
    • 38% – Sensing
    • 25% – Thinking
    • 44% – Perceiving

    I’m introverted very expressed with sensing, thinking and perceiving moderately expressed.

  • 20100523-Overfed Fatty

    I’m overfed. I could feel my stomach trying to burp out air. It’s so overloaded with water and lunch. I should just skip dinner or at least take a laxative. It’s too bad that the weighing scale is truthful. I should just try to exercise more, too. What can I do if living is so good? What can I do if eating is satisfying? I feel fat.

  • 20100419-Old Letter

    Again, I am cleaning up old files and found a letter from City of Portsmouth, Virginia from the safe. It has the seal on the upper left hand corner. The grade of paper will last for a VERY long time. Here is message to me on the day of my birth:

    You are too young to read this now, but in later years your mother will tell you that you were born in the nation’s oldest naval hospital in the City of Portsmouth, Virginia.

    As you grow older, you will undoubtedly travel much, especially since your father is in the service of his country; and as a reminder of that joyful time when you joined the rest of us in this old world, I wish to make you an honorary citizen of the City of Portsmouth. Enclosed you will find your certificate of honorary citizen.

    May your life be a long and happy one.

    Very truly yours,

    Jack P. Barnes

    Right there, I have provided proof of my birth. The letter contains a brief history of my origin, an invitation and a blessing. I am proud to be an American. Are you?

  • 20100401-Born Dirty

    Am I a dirty girl?
    Unborn hatchling in yolk.
    So pure white, round and small.
    Breaking old shell – freedom.
    To stand proud and hen tall.

    Am I a dirty girl?
    Falling snowflakes of white.
    So red, itchy and dry.
    Use the `Head and Shoulders`!
    Relief – a dusty sigh.

    Am I a dirty girl?
    Hard boogers a picking.
    Digging with fingered broom.
    High up congested nose.
    To fling across the room.

    Am I a dirty girl?
    Lazy muscles snapping
    `Shower, shower each day`
    Like old granny weekly.
    `Helps keep [] odor away`

    Am I a dirty girl?
    Cleaning as godliness.
    Dusting but not dust free.
    Obsessive, compulsive.
    Atoms so small, can’t see.

    Second attempt at Monchielle poem…

    Author’s note: Original title was inspired on 4 October, 2009 @ 14:17 by flynnsblogs. I came home from Holy Thursday mass and while undressing in my bedroom, decided to finish this LONG OVERDUE poem.

    Addendum-Last edited by flynnsblogs on Thu, Apr 01, 2010 at 21:11:44 pm: This blog is really about hygiene and skin problems. For the dirty foreigners, there are two popular AMERICAN commercials referenced for dandruff shampoo and soap!

  • 20060114-ESP Test

    I am browsing my old `readings` folder on my personal computer and came across the following article saved on `Saturday, January 14, 2006, 8:13:50 PM` from Tickle by Emode:

    The ESP Test

    `FLYNN`, when it comes to psychic abilities, you have an unusually strong talent in the area of Precognition

    This means you have an uncanny ability to look into the future and know ahead of time what is going to happen. You might, for instance, simply know that you’re going to get that job before the interview even happens with a certainty that exceeds what you would expect to have simply knowing the facts of the situation. You might have a sense of dread before going out for the evening only to later have a flat tire on your way home. These little hunches are easy to ignore but for you especially, quite often lead to a true prediction of what is going to happen. These predictions can be used to generate positive outcomes, and the more you know about how to use your talent, the more you will be able to distinguish between fantasy of the future and an actual reality you are seeing happen, before it has actually happened.

    While your strongest psychic talent is Precognition, Emode also analyzed your psychic strengths in:

    • Retrocognition: The ability to know what happened in the past.
    • Clairvoyance: The ability to “see” the unknown.
    • Remote viewing: The ability to see physical objects at a distance.
    • Telepathy: The ability to tune into others’ thoughts.

    Your Answer: Use your mind, act truthfully and do not harass the judge.

    Notice both the question and answer came from the second person as `your` (or really moi).

  • 20031205-My Type

    I am browsing my old `readings` folder on my personal computer and came across the following article saved on `Friday, December 05, 2003, 12:36:06 AM` (formerly from selfnetwork.com, now LIVESTRONG.COM – Health, Fitness, Lifestyle:

    What’s Your Type?
    Prepared for: FLYNN
    Date: Friday, December 05, 2003

    Your Type:
    I = Slightly Expressed
    S = Slightly Expressed
    F = Slightly Expressed
    J = Highly Expressed

    What do the letters mean?

    Your personality can be defined by dividing it into four independent preference areas or scales. These scales can be put together to form a personality “picture” or type for an individual, each of which defines one unique personality archetype. There are 16 possible combinations of preference; therefore, 16 different Personality Types.
    Different type preferences lead to different ways of living and working, taking in information and making decisions. They describe different learning styles and effective approaches to communication, teamwork, and relationships. Personality Typing is used extensively in career counseling, business and education.

    The preferences for each of the four scales are as follows:

    Energizing – How a person is energized: Extroversion (E) or Introversion (I) Preference for drawing energy from the outside world of people, activities or things or preference for drawing energy from one’s internal world of ideas, emotions, or impressions.

    Attending – What a person pays attention to: Sensing (S) or Intuition (N) Preference for using the senses to notice what is real or preference for using the imagination to envision what is possible – to look beyond the five senses.

    Deciding – How a person decides: Thinking (T) or Feeling (F) Preference for organizing and structuring information to decide in a logical, objective way or preference for organizing and structuring information to decide in a personal, value-oriented way.

    Living – Life style a person prefers: Judgement (J) or Perception (P) Preference for living a planned and organized life or preference for living a spontaneous and flexible life.

    The ISFJ Personality
    ISFJs have excellent organizational skills, and are interested in others’ feelings. Ideally, they should choose a career where they can observe others’ needs, and organize a plan to meet these needs.

  • 20031122-A Mastermind

    I am browsing my old `readings` folder on my personal computer and came across the following article saved on `Saturday, November 22, 2003, 8:46:26 PM` via TheSpark.com Personality Test:

    MASTERMIND
    (Submissive Introvert Abstract Thinker )

    Like just 8% of the population you are a MASTERMIND (SIAT). You can be silent and withdrawn, but behind your reserved exterior lies an active mind that allows you to analyze situations and come up with creative, unexpected solutions. Normal people call this “scheming.” Don’t learn German.

    Anyway, your sense of style and originality are your strengths, and people will respect your judgment once they get to know you. If you learn to be a little more personable, you could be a great leader–you’ve definitely got the “vision” thing down. Just make sure all the plotting you do behind those eyes of yours is healthy.

    Famous masterminds in television: Dr. Claw, The Scarecrow and Mrs. King, Montgomery Burns.

  • 20031122-A Critic

    I am browsing my old `readings` folder on my personal computer and came across the following article saved on `Saturday, November 22, 2003, 10:07:28 PM` Tickle by emode:

    The Ultimate Personality Test

    `FLYNN`, you’re a Critic!

    Your personality is actually determined by two personality sub-types – your primary, or dominant sub-type, and your secondary sub-type. You are a Critic which means you are a Thinker / Success Your primary sub-type is defined by “Thinker” characteristics and your secondary sub-type is defined by “Success” characteristics.

    That means you’re complex, thoughtful and never content to skate on the surface. Chances are you veer towards being so analytical and introspective that even positive qualities can seem like faults. The truth is that you have a very perceptive, gentle spirit.

    How do we know all this? How do we know that you hate chaos at work and prefer a structured environment? Or that sometimes you feel undervalued by your boss? How could we have divined that there’s a part deep inside you that’s aching to make more money?

    Because while you were taking the test, you answered four different types of questions — questions that measured confidence, apprehension, willingness to take risks, and your focus on experience versus appearance — the primary traits that determine your personality. Based on your responses, we determined your personality type, Critic.

    And that’s just scratching the surface.

    Mood Analysis Test
    Results for Test Taken Friday, December 05, 2003

    You are longing for some love and affection at this time – not that you have been deprived of tender loving care – but there are times when everyone needs to try something new or to go ‘somewhere’ else to perhaps experience that little extra ‘understanding’.

    You are a true extrovert, frivolous and outgoing. You need to feel in control of any situation. If matters are not proceeding according to plan you tend to get extremely irritable and perhaps become difficult to live with.

    The way things are, you feel that you are stuck in a rut and there is not much you can do about it. You feel frustrated and inhibited but if you can find a way to let yourself go, you may find that things aren’t quite so bad as perhaps you thought they were. One consolation is that since you are an extremely emotional individual, with the right person you may be able to release some of that frustration and tension with some mutual tender loving care.

    It is said that we are all influenced by our environment and indeed you are no exception. It would seem at this time that even though you may be surrounded by people, you are experiencing an inner loneliness. Fortunately you are sufficiently strong minded to realise that life has a great deal to offer you and that you may miss your share of experiences if you fail to make the best use of every opportunity. You therefore pursue your objectives with a fierce intensity and are prepared to commit yourself deeply and readily. You believe that whatever you would like to do or think ‘you can do’ – you do! It is because of this attitude that you may be considered by others as arrogant and even conceited, but its fair to say that whatever it is that you really want out of life you will put your heart and soul into it and will not take ‘NO’ for an answer.

    You are putting on a show – a facade. You are a master of demonstrating considerable charm in the hope that this can or will lead to better things. Deep down you are fearful that this may not work and that you may have to employ other strategies in order to realize all your ambitions.
