Alex Kuehn Personality test

 My Personality Type

 I personality type is an INTJ. This is the rarest personality type you can be with only 2% of the population being this. They make the most money on average and they have the highest grades in school. They are people who think very deeply about things and run through every option in their head before they actually do anything. They are usually more quiet then most. But they
are very imaginative. One famous person that is
INTJ was Issac Newton.

 How it Describes Me

I think my type describes me very well because I think through most of my decisions a lot before actually attempting anything. One part that isnt spot on is that i not always that quiet. This personality test helps me realize why i try to get really good grades and set very high goals of myself and if i dont achieve them i am disappointed. It also tells me why when i am playing basketball i speak up about wanting the ball i just stay quiet and let the ball come to me.

 In groups o usually like to be the leader which is and isnt good for my type it is good because we like to get good grades and we think through things but it also isnt because we tend to be quiet so the role of leader can be hard. It is good though to be put in a position like that because it helps you grow so you can do it better in the future.

 What I Learned

This assignment has taught me that i am very unique and that my future will most likely be very good. I have also learned that the people around me are very different than i am and thats normal. Also that i should try to not judge people as much because that is just how they are and you cant change it.



LOGB TEST 

In the LOGB test i got all but 1 4 in the beaver section so i am strongly beaver but i also had a lot of points in the lion section. These are both very accurate as i like to lead and i like to think a lot and plan stuff out.

Social media hurts girl's education

Yesterday in ecomm we read an article called "they loved your GPA, then they saw you tweets" by Natasha Singer it was about a girl who went on a college visit to Bowdoin College. While she made posts on her twitter talking about the other students in a negative way. She never thought that the college would look at her social media to she what kind of person she was. They thought that was not the kind of person that they want in their school. Then they decided to decline her admission all together.


What Surprised Me

A lot of this article was surprising because its crazy to think that colleges look at your social media but here were the top things that surprised me. First was that the girl posted disparaging comments on twitter about her fellow attendees because i thought it was crazy that someone would do that. Next was that the college denied that girl in the end due to these posts. Finally there is that people thought it was unfair for the colleges to look at social media but i was wondering why they would put it on there in the first place if they didnt want people to see it.


What Confused Me


There were a lot of confusing things in this article mainly because of people being dumb. The first thing that i thought was confusing is that colleges might find an account that might be an imposter account which confused me because they acted like it happens a lot when it sounds really crazy. Another is that an applicant posted offensive comments about his high school teacher because i wasnt sure why anyone would put these things on social media.

Affect on my Social Media 

This really has no affect on my social media. I dont ever post anything bad on social media because that is just dumb. Plus why would i want people to think of me as a bad person. I want people to know me for me.
