I've heard about this test for a long time but have never taken it. A more in-depth version of this type of study is discussed in the book Please Understand Me: Character and Temperament Types by David Keirseyand Marilyn Bates, which I'd like to read. I think this online version is pretty accurate.
I am grateful that during this winter break I've had more time to blog, and I've discovered that there are people actually reading it! This is a revelation to me. I am especially excited to be connecting with other potential PCV's who are at similar stages in the application process.
The semester starts very soon. I've got staff meetings tomorrow. I've been working a little each day on my thesis/lecture recital and on the Bach B Minor Mass, which we'll be singing with the Flagstaff Symphony on January 28. I'm ready for the semester, and I'm ready to be done. I can't believe how fast these two years have gone by!!
In terms of the meat-eating, I am proud of myself. I did not make it some overwhelming, emotional experience. I just bought the pre-cooked chicken, heated a little bit up, and ate it with some rice. Simple as that. I feel great. Maybe after twelve years, my body needs that kind of protein. I am proud of myself.
Random question for any potential PCV's out there: do you plan to bring a laptop with you? I wasn't planning on it, but after talking to a current PCV in Swaziland, he said it's been really nice to have.
I'm taking mine. Even if I don't have internet on a regular basis, at least I can type up emails and blog posts and save them to my flash drive and send them whenever I do have internet access. I think the safety comes into play when you try to carry it around. I won't travel with mine from one town to another, it'll stay at my house.
i think you would go crazy to not bring one! you will want to use skype to talk to friends back home. if you don't have skype, sign up for it. plus you will be keeping that blog about your time in the PC, right? ;)
We took the MB test many years ago at work and I've done modified versions since. So much fun to do. i forget what I was so will do this version you note. Thanks!

I'm like the exact opposite of you. It says i'm an emotional introvert!
