Day 5, February 4

Today was an overall good day. School was kinda ehh but was okay, and TSA was interesting. We took the Keirsey Temperament Sorter which is like a personality test. It was a nice change of pace for TSA. I'm apparently an Artisan - Composer, and it was just very much dead on. The results are really long but I'll copy and paste some of the points later. Some highlights of the meeting included...Frank's personality being compared to the founders of McDonald's and Wendy's, Phil being compared to Oprah, and Daulton being weirded out by me taking pictures. xP

All Artisans (SPs) share the following core characteristics:
- tend to be fun-loving, optimistic, realistic, and focused on the here and now
- pride themselves on being unconventional, bold, and spontaneous.
- make playful mates, creative parents, and troubleshooting leaders.
- are excitable, trust their impulses, want to make a splash, seek stimulation, prize freedom, and dream of mastering action skills.

And this is the last paragraph about Artisan - Composers:
Composers are just as plentiful as the other Artisans, say nine or ten per cent of the population, but in general they are very difficult to observe and thus greatly misunderstood. Very likely the difficulty comes from their tendency not to express themselves verbally, but through their works of art. Composers are usually not interested in developing ability in public speaking, or even in the art of conversation; they prefer to feel the pulse of life by touch, in the muscles, in the eyes, in the ears, on the tongue. Make no mistake, Composers are just as interested as other types in sharing their view of the world, and if they find a medium of non-verbal communication-some art form-then they will express their character quite eloquently. If not, they simply remain unknown, their quietness leaving their character all but invisible.
Bob Dylan, Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Cher, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Mel Brooks, Steven Spielberg, and Neil Simon are examples of a Composer Artisans.

Quite interesting eh?
