Hang Out and Post

We don't even know you o_O That's way too cautious.

[livvy]

I don't even have any kind of antivirus on this computer. Hi livvy! Which university are you applying for?

Gah, sorry it took me forever to reply! My computer was occupied... watching vlogbrothers videos... with my mum. Whom I can't let know about TDN because OMIGOSHinternetpeopleareallstalkers!! so I couldn't multitask and talk to y'all while being a nerdfighter.

 

Weird explanation aside, I'm currently looking into Furman University, Columbia College (yay women's colleges!) and Emory. I could apply to all the shmancy schools, but they're expensive, and kinda huge. I like small schools.

 

Oh, college applications. How fun x_x

Y'know a lot of colleges decide whether or not you're excepted based on how much money your parents make so they know whether or not you'll be able to pay off the tuition.

Oh yeah, lemme tell ya. They're a bundle of joy. <_<

I think you meant accepted (:P), and they didn't really ask about mum's financial situation, they asked about her college. It was weird. Also, they had a section for parent 2, for which I was forced to choose from the dropdown list: Unknown. It feels so weird saying that, but how am I supposed to explain that my second parent is science? Grr!

When I apply for college I am going to stay away from smaller schools. I would rather a big social experience.

[livvy]

Thank you Noog. I appreciate you finding the only coherent part of that post. :P

 

I am almost 100% introverted according to MyPersonality, so big social experiences are a huge drain for me. I'm not anti-social or anything - why would I put myself out there on HeyTDN if I was completely antisocial? - I just prefer social experiences on a smaller scale. I'm totally fine getting to know people in a group setting, but it's almost always on an individual level.

Small colleges also work well for someone with environmental interests, because the campus is generally smaller and it's feasible to just walk wherever you're going rather than having to drive from building to building. Or you can Segway! I totally want a Segway when I go to college. :yes:

The introverted part of Mypersonality is the weirdest part to me. I love to hang out with my friends, but since sometimes I'd rather hang out with less than a large group you're going to say I'm introverted? Weird.

 

Segways rule :P

[livvy]

I have never ridden a Segway, but I really really want to. They're so cool!

 

Yeah, introversion and extroversion are really hard to quantify. How much you want to be with other people largely depends on how you're feeling at the time, and if I'm sitting at home doing a personality test, chances are I'm not having an extrovert moment. And there's no way I'm 100% introverted, because um... I do have friends. And I do sometimes hang out with them.

Then again, it's entirely possible that I've just taken so many personality tests like that, that I now know what answers to put to get it to show that I'm an introvert. Perhaps a little too good at it. :shiftyeyes_anim:

[Ruto]

I redid my personality test, and while the per. types are the same, I got different results on my intelligences. XD I'm still 95% introverted. I'm not completely anti-social either, but I really don't like large groups. I tend to get lost and end up just sitting by myself. I'm just not a good socializer. XD

[CAV of Gang Green]

I gotta try this test. I'll do the test now, and post my results later.

[ΩCCΩ]

I did the test and sound like a total loner. XD I do like going out with friends and such but I am not the kind of person who can make new friends in a jiffy. XD

[Unstream]

I took it and apparently I was 63% extraverted. Guess I like meeting new people to an extent?

 

Personally I think a smaller college would be a better idea for me. There's more time for discussion and more chances to talk to professors 1-on-1 in smaller colleges, which means a better and deeper understanding in topics that you wish to pursue :yes:

Good morning, everyone! :)

You guys have me curious about the personality test. I'm going to have to take and see.

 

And good morning Jeffe. :)

[-Ryan]

Hello Everyone. :)

 

I took that personality test a while ago... My top 3 were math/logic, music, and I don't remember the other. xD

[Spritzie]

I keep seeing results in signatures, and after the discussion, decided to try it. Though I'll have to wait, because the site is doing maintenance.

[Noog]

I always forget my results, so I have to look at mine when someone mentions theirs :P

 

I think my badge is the only one on the forum that leans towards Feeling :eh: If it isn't the only one, then I haven't seen another.

[Wembly]

Meh, I don't care so much for personality test unless I am exceedingly bored and right now I am just sick and sleepy.

[Spritzie]

I've always enjoyed things like that. Quizzes and such. I used to do them in the middle of the night years ago.

[IrishLiz]

Hi all!

I might have to do it again. It's been years since I've taken it. I took it at that site too. I wonder how different it would be now. They take too long though. :P

 

EDIT:

me too Spritzie. :laughingsmiley:

[Spritzie]

How long do they usually take? I'll probably do it when I get back from getting the tapes pulled. (If the site is back up by then.)

[IrishLiz]

Um, I think it says twenty to thirty minutes.

[Spritzie]

Okay. Now I know to wait. I have to go get the tapes pulled in 10 minutes.

[Noog]

I would say twenty minutes for the mypersonality test. There's a decent amount of questions for each quiz.

[-Ryan]

My AVID teacher made us take a bunch of tests like that last year with the 8th grade class, so I imagine we'll be doing that again with the new 7th grade AVID class this year... Oh no. Dx

I understand none of that. Why are you going back to 7th grade? What is AVID?

[-Ryan]

Avid = Elective where you basicaly learn about college and something about preparing us for college. xD

 

The 8th grade and 7th grade AVID class get together alot for stuff like that.
