The Enneagram Results are in.....

So...I just took the Enneagram Personality test and got the result of a Type 1. Type ones are the Reformers that are usually teachers or people that want to improve everything around them but are terribly afraid of making mistakes. We are well organized, timely and maintain the highest standards for ourselves which can sometimes lead to perfectionist-ism or being overly critical of ourselves and others. At our best, though, we are generally wise, realistic and extremely noble. Ones also have strong a sense of purpose that leaves them either pre-planning or second guessing their actions so as to not offend anyone or minimize the hurt of everyone around them or themselves. Others tend to see ones as highly self restrictive. Some of my better know cohort ones are Meryl Streep, Mahatma Ghandi, Hillary Clinton and George Bernard Shaw.

What do I think about this??? Well, I would totally have to agree with this assessment and own up to the fact that I am a one. I am constantly thinking and rethinking about things that I have done or said and wondering what if I had maybe done this or that differently. Most people when they first meet me think that I am stuck up or have the impression that I think that I am better than them but this is not the case. I just try to censor myself around new people so I don't offend them but I guarantee that once I feel comfortable around them -- the "real unadulterated" me comes out. I am a total perfectionist when it comes to most things with the only exception being my dirty room. Its not so much that it is dirty but more so of the fact that it is ordered chaos and I know where it all is and goes from there. As far the rest of my life and things you could probably say that I have a little OCD. Books are generally neatly stacked next to each other and homework is usually done first thing so that I have more to play and less time to have to worry about not getting it done in time. I get really frustrated when I am forced to work in a group and not everyone is pulling their weight because I will give my 110% and expect nothing less than that from anyone else. I do hold myself and my work to high standards and I feel like crap when I know I didn't try my best at something. With that being said I can't wait to keep on blogging away with new adventures one day really really soon I'm sure!!! Have an awesome rest of the day and I will chat at ya later.....

Intro Post-it!!

First off, I just want to say a huge hello to everyone reading this blog right now. My name is Josh T and I haven't always been much of a writer or reader throughout my life -- so I am definitely looking forward to trying this little experiment for my Writ 101 class. Sad to say but only over the last few years have I actually taken to what I used to think was the daunting task of reading. Don't tell anyone but one of the first books that I ever truly sat down and read was Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. It opened my eyes to a bright new world of books and a little dabbling in the writing department with my sister J. Now I am a huge fan of murder/mystery stories especially Kathy Reichs and Patricia Cornwell.
Hmmm.....what else should I let you know about me??? I am currently a 2nd semester freshman trying to get a degree in Biology at the University of Montana hoping to one day go to Medical School and live somewhere nice and warm til I retire and then I will have a summer home here in Montana and become a snow bird during the winters. Believe me Montana is beautiful and all but I'm an army brat at heart so I do like to move around a bit. Although, after saying that I have lived in Helena for over 18 years now so that is why I finally got off my duff and am now here in Missoula going to school. Lets see ..... I'm a capricorn and do enjoy a conversation over dinner followed up by an excellent game of Scene It! I'm thinking that I had better sign off and do some other homework before I get too much more carried away on here!! Have an excellent night and I might be chatting it up again tomorrow -- we'll see what Molly says!!!

Adios,
Josh
