Standing Ovation Please!

Last night I was at an awards dinner and couldn't get the rubber chicken down at all! (I won the award by the way - Learning on Screen, Best TV programme 2004! If I can't brag here, where can I brag!!!)

The original date of this post was 3/22/05

I stole this from the "how much weight did you loose before your first fill thread. I felt that this desered it's very own thread. WAY TO GO SCOTTY! I know I'm so proud of you for this, and I'm sure that everyone else is proud of you too.

So let me be the very first to open a bottle of cyber-champagne and toast your success!

So give us the dirt Scotty! what is the name of your show, what network, and do you need any fat and shrinking actresses? (oh oh! pick me! pick me!)

You guys...! What are you all like? This is better than the award...well, almost. Who am I kidding - you can't lovingly fondle a message board can you - unlike my big hunk of stainless steel trophy.

I'm not at all famous by the way but the show did quite well with the viewers. It was called, "What Am I like? The Personality test" It was on BBC1 last year and was an interactive documentary about personality types.

We tracked a huge group of people, tested them using the Myers Briggs tests in secret, then set them various tasks which we filmed. A team of psychologists (who didn't know the results of the MBT) then predicted how they would act. It was scary how accurate they were. One group (the extroverts I think( had to cook a meal together. The psychologists said it would be a disaster. More than likely one of them would do somehting like set off the smoke alarm. Two minutes later, that's EXACTLY what happened. We all have four facets to our personality. The core two stay the same throughout our lives, but things like introvert/extrovert can change over time. It's very interesting.

Throughout the programme, the viewers, using their TV remote control could answer a series of 20 questions and at the end we delivered back your personality type on screen. My speciality is interactive TV. We use digital technology to make it all work.

Anyway, if you want to do the test have a look at the BBC website. It's good fun.

There are other tests on the site which I also recommend for a boring afternoon in the office. The data (confidential of course) is used by educational institutes all over the world, so do take a few minutes to have a go.

Thanks again for the thread!

By the way, I'm a Big Thinker according to the test. I'd be really intersted to know what you guys are!!!

Summary of Big-Thinkers

* Outspoken, ingenious and bored by routine

* Think of themselves as talkative, curious and self-sufficient

* May neglect the routine work required to make their plans successful

I am a Leader.

• Natural managers who strive for efficiency
  
• See the big picture and make strategic plans for the future
  
• Think of themselves as bright, independent and logical
  
• May overlook other people's need for emotional support
  

I think this fits, since I'm an ENTJ on the Meyers-Brigs.

[Mariposa Bella 3]

I'm a go-getter, too, yes I am...

Oh, man, gotta go do the test! I suspect I'm a nurturer...I'll let you know. This may have to wait till I get back...I'm having to pick and choose what I accomplish at this point, the countdown continues...Friday is the big day!
