A Little Bit of This and a Little Bit of That...



So, do you all remember reading about this? I turned in two different brackets this year. I played against my brother in his group and against my hubby in his group.

And....the results are in!

I totally beat my brother. TOTALLY. He had picked UCLA to win, so he lost out when they did in the final four. :0) I actually won first place in that group! Yahoo! Me! A girl! Who knows nothing about these teams! That's right. I'm rubbing it in, Cam. {He told me I suck, I think he's just jealous}

As far as the hubby's group...there were 20 of us that turned in a bracket. When it got down to the final game, the scores were tallied to see who would be competing for the $100 pot {yes, we totally put our $5 in on this one...so sue us!} It turned out that it was between Jaysen and myself {I was tied with his dad} Crazy huh? So, yeah. We had the game on last night and I was rooting for my team, and he was cheering on his team. At the end of the game I asked him if he wanted to up the ante a little bit because the score was so close. He refused. {chicken!}

Turned out he should have. He was rooting for Kansas and his dad and I were hoping that Memphis would win. And, if you watched the game, you know that Kansas beat the Tigers in overtime. :0( That's ok though. :0) Again...this year I came in second place! Out of 20! A bunch of guys who think they know it all about basketball lost to me! :0) Again...yes, I am gloating. :0)

Now...for a little bit of THAT. :0)

I wish they had this test online for you to take, but I couldn't find it. So, you'll have to take it the way I did. I had to do this for school and thought it was rather interesting. :0) Basically rank order all 4 respsonses to each question from MOST LIKE YOU (4) to LEAST LIKE YOU (1) so that for each question you use the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 one time each. Place numbers next to the responses.

4=Most like me 3=More like me 2=Less like me 1=Least like me

1. I like instructors who

  • (a)tell me exactly what is expected of me.
  • (b)make learning active and exciting
  • (c)maintain a safe and supportive classroom
  • (d)challenge me to think at higher levels

2. I learn best when the material is

  • (a)well organized
  • (b)something I can do hands-on
  • (c)about understanding and improving the human condition
  • (d)intellectually challenging

3. A high priority in my life is to

  • (a)keep my commitments
  • (b)experience as much of life as possible
  • (c)make a difference in the lives of others
  • (d)understand how things work

4. Other people think of me as

  • (a)dependable and loyal
  • (b)dynamic and creative
  • (c)caring and honest
  • (d)intelligent and inventive

5. When I experience stress I would most likely

  • (a)do something to help me feel more in control of my life
  • (b)do something physical and daring
  • (c)talk with a friend
  • (d)go off by myself and think about my situation

6. I would probably not be close friends with someone who is

  • (a)irresponsible
  • (b)unwilling to try new things
  • (c)selfish and unkind to others
  • (d)an illogical thinker

7. My vacations could be described as

  • (a)traditional

  • (c)pleasing to others
  • (d)a new learning experience

8. One word that best describes me is

  • (a)sensible
  • (b)spontaneous
  • (c)giving
  • (d)analytical

Ok...now add up the total points for each letter.

A= B= C= D=

Which letter has the biggest number?

  • A=Organizer
  • B=Adventurer
  • C=Giver
  • D=Thinker

So, what personality type are you? I'll post the descriptions of your personality type tomorrow. :0) Mine was spot on! It was crazy. It also shows you your "low" areas. Things you can work on so that you can become a "well balanced person". I don't know if I will ever be WELL BALANCED, but hey...

So, what do you think my personality type is? How about we make it a game? Whoever guesses my first, second, third and then fourth personality types {in the correct order} FIRST wins a PRIZE! Oh yeah!

Am I a thinker? It's been getting pretty deep around here lately! Am I an organizer? We all know I have OCD problems. :0) Or how about a giver? I do love to help other people. Or maybe I'm an adventurer....me and my daughter go on Dora Adventures all the time! :0) What do you think?

Can't wait to see what you guys guess. And I want to know your results too! All four! Then I'll really KNOW you, right? :0) Happy quizzing!
