Myers Briggs Personality Comparisons

How would you compare with famous characters from Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Star Trek and Marvel's Comics? :D

Alright to start, you have to fist take a Myers Briggs test - here's a nifty link for you to do the test for free!

Here's my results - INTP... as usual lol :P

Introverted individuals prefer solitary activities, think before speaking, get exhausted by social interactions.

Intuitive individuals are imaginative, absorbed in ideas, rely on their intuition, focus on what might happen

Thinking individuals are tough, follow their minds, focus on objectivity and rationality

Prospecting individuals are relaxed about their work, very good at improvising, prefer keeping their options open and seek freedom - (that's why I enjoyed doing freelancing so much? I should have taken up computer science when I had the chance lol... aiks!)

T

Turbulent individuals are perfectionists, self-conscious, success-driven, care about their image. (This is new... I think the test didn't have this when I did my test years ago :P)


Okay, well, once you have your own personality test result, you can then compare it with the posters below. Click on the images to enlarge them!

To my "broken" heart's surprise, I didn't get Legolas... *cries* (nah, I'm not THAT upset... a little though :P). However, getting Gandalf is pretty good :D "You're a witch, Aveyn"

(If you can't get the reference, well, you really need to brush up on your memes :P - go ahead and google "you're a wizard, Harry")

Unsurprisingly, I get Hermoine xD I've always identified myself as her ever since I've started reading Harry Potter... Harry may have all the heroic burdens and the responsibilities that come with those burdens, Hermoine is the logical one in the group, most of the time anyway! :)



I don't know any of the Marvel heroes in the INTP group except Dr Reed Richards... (fail?) hehe. Well, I don't know enough about him, except that one Fantastic 4 movie that I've watched when I was young, to comment anything. So meh.... moving on!

My thoughts on marriage

Stability... that's the priority. 

There are many types of stability and all of them must be at a acceptable level before any talks of marriage can even begin... like seriously. Emotional stability, for example, is important... (I'm not covering that here), so is financial stability. In fact, financial stability, IMHO, is perhaps one of the most important in this modern day and era... particularly in a country with increasing cost of living with no increase in income and a very unstable (ahem... low) currency value. 

I'm not much of a devil-may-care type of person and am more of a realist. I know how the current society is and if you want to live comfortably (my definition of "comfort" may differ from yours though) in it, having enough money and a stable career (so you can get a steady income of money) is a MUST! 

I mean, I'm not a materialist... I don't buy branded stuff if I can avoid it - the clothes at the market, pasar malam or Tesco work fine for me. I don't need to have a brand tag... along with its hefty price tag for all my belongings. In fact, I bought a pair of shoes (cloth-made sports shoes) at the Jelutong market around 2 years ago for a mere RM 10 and I'm still wearing it today... and I'll be wearing it until the soles became too worn out to walk without slipping lol.

That being said, I'm pretty certain no one likes to suffer... and especially in the beginning stages of a marriage where everything is in somewhat a turmoil (can you imagine trying to change your entire personal schedule to include your partner's? You can't be like "I do my stuff as usual and you do yours"... right?). 

Furthermore, you'll discover his habits that you may not like which you may have not known before, but will have to tolerate. In other words, it's a rather "chaotic" time of adjustment and adaptation... and will definitely take plenty of tolerance and understanding... you definitely wouldn't want something as important as "money issues" to pop up at that stage of life.  

I mean, if both your incomes are not enough to pay for the house mortgage/ loans/ bills and also for car loan/ insurance etc and that you have to work around the clock to make ends meet, nobody would be happy. I know quite a bit about that because I have personally experienced working almost non-stop before and I DO NOT recommend it to anyone. I feel so drained everyday that my mood is very volatile and I hardly get enough sleep due to worry... FYI, that time, I had to find a way to earn enough cash to cover my rather unexpected tuition fees without taking out my Fix Deposit and losing all my interest or borrowing money from my parents. 

So, if huge relationship-damaging stuff happen at that stage, I believe that there may be long term resentment... no matter how little, but there will be some... and that's not a good thing to have at the start of a new stage of life. 


BUT wait... before the haters come in and say that I'm a idealistic b**** - let me say that I won't demand or expect to have a "perfect" life... it's totally unrealistic after all. This means that I don't expect my bf (for example) to be rich before proposing for marriage. I don't need him to buy a condo home or a double-story house before proposing... a 2 - 3 room unit apartment is sufficient for me. Rental even, I don't mind... as long as I know he has the means in the future of getting a loan for a more permanent home - I'm not a nomad and will never be one. 

I don't need him to have a Mercedes or even a foreign-imported car.... as long as he has a working vehicle so that he can go to work. I will have my own means of buying my own car for me to go to work myself... I don't demand or expect him to pay for my own vehicle... though I may need his help to maintain the car in good conditions... I'm a major car noob :P

I don't want to have a future husband who have to get hand-outs from his parents to bail him out of monetary problems that he has the means of solving himself (but he won't or gives plenty of reasons not to). I want a life that is independent and self-sufficient until... well, if there's a little one involved, then all bets are off lol :P  

I also know that some guys don't really think these things through before proposing, but if too many serious problems came up after that, the blaming game will begin... heated arguments and such stuff. Even if the guy say "okay okay I let you win (this argument)"... so what? The problem is still there and it won't fix itself. The frustration will build up, the depression will set in... yeah you probably know the routine. Oh and I'm not the sort that believe in "time will fix everything". It may fix some things, but definitely not everything. 

Anyway, that's what I think and because of my discussions with my fellow girlfriends, I feel like I have to express this out in writing (writing is after all my forte! *winks* .... *cough* bragger.. *cough*) :P


So... you guys have any thoughts on this? I'm interested to hear how both sides of the gender feel about this issue. And do take note that my relationship condition may be a lot different from yours, so if you want to follow my "advice", don't blame me if it didn't work out as well for you... just saying! 

(I really should get a disclaimer to prevent getting sued when I write about these kinds of stuff xD) #NotReallyAPsychologistOrALoveGuru

Hearing Test: How old are your ears?

Actually, I've tested this out like when the video first came out, but well, somehow, I forgot to put it up here.

!!! - Do note that the headphones and computer that you're using to view the video may affect your results... so technically, the results you get might not be correct. - !!!

Also, you should view the video at highest resolution - 1080p (by going to the gear-shaped icon in the video menu bar and under the title "Quality", choose "1080P (HD)") and use headphones.

Okay, are your ears ready? Here it is! :)



If you can hear


8000 Hertz (Hz) - Average age (like everyone else) and not hearing impaired
12,000 Hz - Under 50 years old
15,000 Hz - Under 40 years old
16,000 Hz - Under 30 years old
17,000-18,000 Hz - Under 24 years old
19,000 Hz (the sound is affected in the video, so you wouldn't hear anything) - Under 20 years old


Now for the results...

well, I'm around 25, but my ears are between 30 to 40 years old... guess I'm listening to too much music via headphones lol...

Anyway, what's YOUR results? Feel free to post them up on your social media sites and use the hashtag #HearingTest and spread the word around!

Have fun!

Against the Current - Fireproof




Lyrics: 
I was better off the night before I met you
But I was mesmerized and high on every word you spoke
You were born to run but your poison tongue won’t save you
Cause when you play with fire it all dissolves to smoke

I hope your hands burn, when you touch her
I won’t be the cure for the scars you’ve earned
You lit the fuse, thought I’d burn too
But you’re playing with a heart that’s fireproof

Turn the whites behind those eyes
But I can feel it (I can feel it, I can feel it)
The kind of danger in the darkness written on your soul
If the brightest star can light the skies forever (forever)
How could you ever think you were invincible?

I hope your hands burn, when you touch her
I won’t be the cure for the scars you’ve earned
You lit the fuse, thought I’d burn too
But you’re playing with a heart that’s fireproof
I watch your flames rise, destroy your alibis
I should have warned you
You’re playing with a heart that’s fireproof
No more games, can’t escape
You will always be my worst mistake
Gasoline, on your grave
Goin’ down in flames, goin’ down in flames, goin’ down in

flames

No more games, can’t escape
You will always be my worst mistake
Gasoline, on your grave
Goin’ down, in, flames

I hope your hands burn, when you touch her
I won’t be the cure for the scars you’ve earned
You lit the fuse, thought I’d burn too
But you’re playing with a heart that’s fireproof
I watch your flames rise, destroy your alibis
I should have warned you
You’re playing with a heart that’s fireproof

You’re playing with a heart that’s fireproof.

Against the Current - Talk



Lyrics:
You say you adore me,
but your eyes tell a story I've heard before.
And damn boy you must think I'm dumb
as if I didn't know about the things you've done.

Got a girl in every city,
but somehow you're still lonely.
I'm not the one to sit around waiting by my phone
while you're wasted telling other girls they're beautiful.

So why don't we just call it what it is?
We both know we're getting what we give.

You say you really wanna change,
but all you do is talk, talk, talk then walk the same way.
I say what you don't wanna say:
I think we better stop, stop, stop before it's too late.

Don't say you wanna stay forever.
We both know that I know you better.
You say you really wanna change,
but all you do is talk, talk, talk...
Talk, talk, talk, talk!

I say I don't want this,
but I know that I miss you when you're gone
and being tangled up in those sheets
but I know that you're not what's good for me.

So why don't we just call it what it is?
'Cause everybody knows you're full of shit.

You say you really wanna change,
but all you do is talk, talk, talk then walk the same way.
I say what you don't wanna say:
I think we better stop, stop, stop before it's too late.

Don't say you wanna stay forever.
We both know that I know you better.
You say you really wanna change,
but all you do is talk, talk, talk...
Talk, talk, talk, talk!

Baby you know all you do
is keep talking me back to you.
Your words don't mean a thing
'cause I'm done listening.

All you do is talk
All you do is talk
All you ever do is talk, talk, talk, talk

You say you really wanna change,
but all you do is talk, talk, talk then walk the same way.
I say what you don't wanna say:
I think we better stop, stop, stop before it's too late.

Don't say you wanna stay forever.
We both know that I know you better.
You say you really wanna change,
but all you do is talk, talk, talk...
Talk, talk, talk, talk!

Talk, talk, talk, yeah

Against the Current - Gravity




Lyrics: 
Do you remember feeling invincible?
When there was trouble it was us against the world
We kept running, running through the night
Chasing the sun 'til anything felt right

Can you save me now?
I get lost up in the clouds
Can you save me now?
You were my gravity
Can you save me now?
When the ground drops out I get lost in the clouds
Save me now
You were my gravity
Now my world is shattering

Ooooh, you were my gravity
Ooooh, you were my gravity

You left me out there with no one but myself
In an open field for the lightning to strike me down
I was the moon, you were the sun
I can't seem to shine now that you're gone
Now I'm out of orbit cause you left without warning
Are you somewhere better now?

Can you save me now?
I get lost up in the clouds
Can you save me now?
You were my gravity
Can you save me now?
When the ground drops out I get lost in the clouds
Save me now
You were my gravity
Now my world is shattering

Ooooh, you were my gravity
Ooooh, you were my gravity

When you went away, thought I'd never be the same
Would the nightmare ever end?
If I could do it again I wouldn't change a thing 'cause it's

made me who I am

And now I'm shattering

Can you save me now?
When the ground drops out I get lost up in the clouds
Save me now
You were my gravity
Can you save me now?
When the ground drops out I get lost up in the clouds
Save me now
You were my gravity
Now my world is shattering

Ooooh, now my world is shattering
Ooooh, you were my gravity
