Finished First Medical School Class

Part 1:

I am officially done my first medical school class. This was the History of Medicine; and it was painful. I am definitely not a history / social science person. Going to the lectures were boring, taking notes was boring, studying was like eating sand, and writing the exam was not any better. Do you honestly think that knowing that Vesalius was opposed to Galen and supportive of Hippocrates is clinically relevant? I highly doubt it, but it's done, it's over and I NEVER have to take another history class again. Yipee! All I can say is that I am happy this class was only one credit and that I am done with it! :)

Part 2: Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

We were required to fill out a survey before classes started on the MBTI - a personality assessment survey to determine what personality best fits my responses. I found that the results were astoundingly accurate so I thought that I would share them.

Result:

- Introversion (slightly): People who prefer Introversion tend to focus their attention on the inner world of ideas and impressions.

- Sensing (moderate): People who prefer Sensing tend to take in information through the five senses and focus on the here and now

- Feeling (moderate): People who prefer Feeling tend to make decisions based primarily on values and on subjective evaluation of person-centered concerns.

- Judgement (very clear): Peopel who prefer Judgement tend to like a planned and organized approach to life and prefer to have things settled. Note that in this section I scored the highest possible value. Hence I am a very organized and planning-type of person. Ha, go figure....:)

Type Description: This is what my specific personality type is described as:
- Practical, realistic, considerate, and responsible
- Focused on the needs of others: takes responsibilities seriously and expect others to do the same
- Respectful of established procedures and authority; value harmony and cooperation
- Likely to see facts clearly and accurately, especially those that have a personal meaning to them
- Likely to make decisions based on personal values and concern for others
- Sympathetic, tactful, and supportive of others
- Usually seen by others as quiet, serious, conscientious, and traditional
