I just got back from Boys State, and with an average of 4 hours of sleep each night, I am not going to be writing an epic novel this evening, despite the many things that I want to say about the week. I did want to take just a second and post this quiz result, as well as an observation that was made over the week.
First the quiz:
| You Have a Choleric Temperament |
 Unsatisfied by the ordinary, you are reaching for an epic, extraordinary life. You want the best. The best life. The best love. The best reputation. You posses a sharp and keen intellect. Your mind is your primary weapon. Strong willed, nothing can keep you down. Your energy can break down any wall. You're an instantly passionate person - and this passion gives you an intoxicating power over others. At your worst, you are a narcissist. Full of yourself and even proud of your faults. Stubborn and opinionated, you know what you think is right. End of discussion. A bit of a misanthrope, you often see others as weak, ignorant, and inferior. |
That really tells it all. As for the observation this week, one of the other Coordinators I work with was introducing me, and he called me "the maverick." I didn't think much about it at first, but then later someone was talking about it again, and I realized how appropriate it was.
The dictionary says that Maverick is:
One that refuses to abide by the dictates of or resists adherence to a group; a dissenter
or
Being independent in thought and action or exhibiting such independence
Whether I mean to or not, I really do try and defy the norm constantly. I want to set myself apart just a little, ensuring my uniqueness. Maybe this is a side effect of trying to fit in for a long time, or maybe it is another sign of my ego, who knows. I don't necessarily think that it is a bad thing, and at Boys State it was used more as a descriptive compliment than anything, but it is certainly something I plan to pay attention to.
