I have officially become introverted...
My Spark personality test results are in. And since college, the last time I took this test, I have changed from a Mentor to a MasterMind.* The one aspect that changed is that I came out introverted this time around. In fact, it is the same change that happened on the eMode test, changing me from a SkyDiver to a Secret Agent. As far as I can tell, I am becoming a sneaky bastard!
To be honest, I always looked down on introversion. Perhaps these changes in my test results (yes, and I know, I am putting way too much stock into these ridiculous time-wasters) reflect more the fact that I am actually more comfortable with myself now...that I know myself better and am actually able to respond more honestly. OR perhaps repeated moments of spewing idiotic sentences here in France have made me think twice before letting my mouth go off. In any case, is it possible for someone to become more closed? Is this a bad thing? Does it mean I am losing confidence in myself? Maybe it's just a result of the Second Puberty that I am going through, which is jumbling up everything in my life. During my first round of puberty, I pretty much hid in my bedroom for 2 years in a little fantasy world. So, I guess I am hiding again. Only my bedroom is much cooler now.
OR this is all just bunk that I should not be fixating on as I avoid doing my homework.
*Like just 8% of the population you are a MASTERMIND (SIAT). You can be silent and withdrawn, but behind your reserved exterior lies an active mind that allows you to analyze situations and come up with creative, unexpected solutions. Normal people call this "scheming." Don't learn German.
Anyway, your sense of style and originality are your strengths, and people will respect your judgment once they get to know you. If you learn to be a little more personable, you could be a great leader--you've definitely got the "vision" thing down. Just make sure all the plotting you do behind those eyes of yours is healthy.
Famous masterminds in television: Dr. Claw, The Scarecrow and Mrs. King, Montgomery Burns.
PS-And by the way. Thanks to a couple of my German friends here, I am learning German. Achtung!
