The Discovery of Personality

Recently I was exposed to this book: Please Understand Me II by David Keirsey. (Thanks and props to Josh Harnden).

It has provided me with a wonderful discovery of myself as to how I relate to others, process things, and view a lot of different things.

My personality type: INFP. Which according to the Myer-Briggs Test is the Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Perceiving group. According to the book I am a rarer breed, making up only around 1% of the population.

In all honesty I was very skeptical going into taking the test and reading the book, but was simply amazed at how accurately my result fit how I see myself. No to mention how much it gave me understanding for how I comprehend and do things.

According to the book I am "The Healer":

The Healer, I mend divisions
Altruism flows from within me
In the Depths, serenity I do not have
Passion burns within me, a need to make things whole
Empathic I am, glory filled I am not

Benevolence holds me, enthusiasm grips me
I yearn for purity, aspire to wisdom, and search for truth
Aesthetics move me, romance swoons me
And I feel from deep within my bones

Patience in the midst of complication, impatience with routine
I welcome the new, but revere the old
Relate, I do with reservation
Harmony binds me, where commitment finds me
I dislike my credulous nature

From adaptability, and dependability I will not budge
For "If-then" is not my home
Intuition my guide and impressionism my struggle
I will fight for you, love for you,
I would die for you
All I need is your care


Needless to say I'm rather excited about this newly found knowledge. I so appreciative of how God created me to think and relate to others.

As such I encourage you to GO READ THIS BOOK!

Any books hit you crazy recently?
Has God shown you anything about yourself in unexpected ways?

The New Beginning: A few adventures

The break of Christmas is here and another semester ends with its beginning.
And what a semester it has been!

I came to Sonoma State not knowing a single soul, and have ended my first semester with some of the best friends a guy can ask for. Between Ultimate Frisbee, photoshoots, and midnight Slurpee runs, to Intervarsity events and classes, this season of life has been one of the busiest and happiest I've ever had.

Here's a little taste of what I have been able to do:

To Write Love on Her Arms Photoshoot



Doggy Play Day




California Academy of Sciences




Gravity Hill




Trilogy




The Rocket Summer concert




Ice Skating




Carolling in the Rain




Formal Dinner





Random Photoshoots




Bible Study



A small but wonderful sampling of the many wonderful things of this semester.
From here on out I am going to try and be more diligent about posting as events happen.
But here's to a extraordinary three months and for a whole year and a half more.

Thank you to all who have made it so =)

Have you let God give you any wonderful opportunities recently?
