More on MBTI



My MBTI : I.S.T.J.

My Take :
Well , I think this trait best described me. I am rather quiet because of "environmental" issues , independent in sorting out problems (prefer to work alone) . I am a "duty-filler" , prefer to solve problems first rather than leaving it at the last moment (if there's no time constraint). I can be tactful sometimes , as I prefer to do what is right rather than doing things that will make others happy.

My Strength :
1.Responsible to carry out duties
2. Independent
3. Organised (sort of)
4. Managed to stay cool and calm in different situations.
5. A great listener (although sometimes I might be tactful)

My weaknesses :
1. Not flexible , will stick to the idea initiated rather than taking risks.
2. Not considering the feelings of others (especially when we are doing teamwork).
3. Believe more on facts than feelings or opinions
4. Take care more on myself more than anything/anybody.
5. Risk-adverse.

Improvements needed :
1. Try to be more sociable to communicate with others.
2. Must remember than silent is not always consent , try to relate to others' feelings and opinions while making decisions also it may be time-consuming.
3. Try taking risks when necessary.

Trip To Cambodia

I heard that photos were shown during the session , but well , I missed it...

Well, personally , I am extremely curious about this trip.
I have always wanted to see it for myself , about their lifestyles and all that.
I watched a documentary called " Sense of Home" last year, one of episodes is based on Cambodia. It is almost similar to India (my personal opinion), the towns weren't that modern yet , at least there is constant supply of food in the market , not forgetting the magnificent Angkor Wat and Tonle Sap , and the hotels are , of course , being hotels. From the documentary , although it wasn't clearly shown , I think the children from rural areas (kampung) weren't educated , most of them can't understand English.
Feelings ?
- Curious
- Looking forward to this trip
{that is if funds for the trip and A-Maths don't affect me much}
- Happy , as we'll have this opportunity to learn outside of school as well as getting personal experience first hand compared to watching a documentary about the children living in those rural areas.

Goals ?
- Hope to be more global-minded
- Experiencing the actual meaning of poverty
- Hope to adapt well in other places besides being in Singapore , basically I'm not that flexible enough.
