Test!

The Personality Defect Test
Hand-RaiserYou are 85% Rational, 71% Extroverted, 14% Brutal, and 42% Arrogant.
You are the Hand-Raiser, that annoying kid in class who always had an answer for everything. No doubt, as a child you probably sat in the front of the class, anxiously waving your hand back and forth in the air while your teacher desperately tried to avoid calling on you because you were the ONLY fucking kid that answered her questions. Clearly, the key traits of your personality are your rationality and your extroversion. You are like a little talkative calculator, in other words. You also tend to be rather gentle and less arrogant than most people. So what is your defect, then? Well, you're boring, and when you're not boring, you are just plain annoying with your ultra-logical responses and constant need to talk to others. So keep waving that hand in the air, son. I'm still not calling on you. You are too logical, you talk too much, and your humility and gentleness only makes me hate you more, because they make me feel like I almost SHOULDN'T hate you. But I do. Big time.
To put it less negatively:
1. You are more RATIONAL than intuitive.
2. You are more EXTROVERTED than introverted.
3. You are more GENTLE than brutal.
4. You are more HUMBLE than arrogant.
Compatibility:
Your exact opposite is the Brute.
Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Braggart, the Haughty Intellectual, and the Robot.
*
*
If you scored near fifty percent for a certain trait (42%-58%), you could very well go either way. For example, someone with 42% Extroversion is slightly leaning towards being an introvert, but is close enough to being an extrovert to be classified that way as well. Below is a list of the other personality types so that you can determine which other possible categories you may fill if you scored near fifty percent for certain traits.
The other personality types:
The Emo Kid: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.
The Starving Artist: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.
The Bitch-Slap: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.
The Brute: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.
The Hippie: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.
The Televangelist: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.
The Schoolyard Bully: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble.
The Class Clown: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant.
The Robot: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.
The Haughty Intellectual: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.
The Spiteful Loner: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.
The Sociopath: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.
The Hand-Raiser: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.
The Braggart: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.
The Capitalist Pig: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble.

The 4-Variable IQ test
Your brain: 100% interpersonal, 80% visual, 140% verbal, and 80% mathematical!
Congratulations on being 400% smart! Actually, on my test, everyone is. The above score breaks down what kind of thinking you most enjoy doing. A score above 100% means you use that kind of thinking more than average, and a score below 100% means you use it less. It says nothing about how good you are at any one, just how interested you are in each, relatively. A substantial difference in scores between two people means, conclusively, that they are different kinds of thinkers. Matching Summary: Each of us has different tastes. Still, I offer the following advice, which I think is obvious:
Don't date someone if your interpersonal percentages differ by more than 80%.
Don't be friends with someone if your verbal percentages differ by more than 100%.
Don't have sex with someone if their math percentage is over 200%.

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

The LONG Scientific Personality Test

Just took an online personality test. I am The Provider? How true? You judge for me! hahaz! Results are below!
The LONG Scientific Personality Test by unpretentious2
ESFJ-The ProviderYou scored 54% I to E, 57% N to S, 47% F to T, and 26% J to P!
Providers, a subgroup of the Guardians, take it upon themselves to arrange for the health and welfare of those in their care, as well as being quite sociable. Wherever they go, Providers take up the role of social contributor, happily giving their time and energy to make sure that the needs of others are met, that traditions are supported and developed, and that social functions are a success. Providers are extremely sensitive to the feelings of others, which makes them perhaps the most sympathetic of all the types, but which also leaves them rather self-conscious, that is, highly sensitive to what others think of them. Because of this Providers can be crushed by personal criticism, and will work most effectively when given ample appreciation both for themselves personally and for the service they give to others. This is not to say that Providers are afraid to express their own emotional reactions. They are quick to like and dislike?and don?t mind saying so?tending to put on a pedestal whatever or whoever they admire, and to come down hard on those people and issues they don?t care for. You share your type with 10% of the population.As a romantic partner, you work hard to nuture and protect your relationships. You go to great lengths to maintain harmony and are motivated to resolve conflicts. You have a very clear idea of what is important to you and do best when your partner shares those same values. You want your partner to be loving, commited, and willing to support your frequently overwelming feelings and reactions. You feel most appreciated when your partner is kind, considerate, and helpful, and compliments you often on your hard work in their behalf. Your group summary: Guardians (SJ) Your Type Summary: ESFJ

Rested~

Tuesday, my OFF day, finally after a long long week, its my OFF day. Today I slept till noon. Dear came over accompanied me at home the entire afternoon. I finally submitted everything that needs to be done. My tuition loans, bursaries and SEP applications, all done! I packed up my room today, everything looks so much neater now. Threw away tonnes of rubbish that had been lying all around for donkey years. Tried to hook up my old computer with my wireless reuter and adapter, was not successful. Don't know why computer cannot detect. Hmm..I know nuts about wireless technology. Shall try again when i am free.
Listened to some audio talks by Steve Chan and Tom Hopkins about sales. Zijun sent them to me. Very Motivating, learnt a few things about sales. Shall improve on my sales from tmr onwards. And i realise that my target set is too low. I shall set a higher target for myself. I MUST BE ABLE TO SELL 2 PLASMA TVs AND 4 LCD TVs IN ONE DAY. YES! in a day! I will hit that target! I shall continue to STRIVE!............
??????????????????????????????

~Delighted~

1st day of the week! As I was saying, with strong desire, whatever you want for will be achieved. My target for this coming week is to sell at least 2 PLASMA TV. TODAY, just TODAY, the 1st day of this week, Monday, I sold my 1st PLASMA TV, and also 2 sets of 20" LCD TV! The guy who bought the 42" TV from me is a ARMY regular officer, a MTA scholar. He walked in at about 1900hr looking at LCD TVs, so i approached him and rendered him help. He started asking all sort of Qns, and so I answer one after another, I even made a few calls to my boss regarding his Qns. So in the end, he said he will go back and make some meausurments and he will be back later. Haha! I thought damnz, just another customer who said will be back, but never would be. I carried on with my work, totally forgotten about this guy, becuz outta 50 customers I served a day, probably only 1 who said he will be back, will be back. At about 2030hrs, I thought of knocking off le, my knock off time is 2100hr, but weekdays, there are very few shoppers so we normally leave early but dunno why, i chose to stay, haha..and ofcuz luckily i stayed. 10mins later, the guy came back and looked for me, bought the TV from me. He told me the reason why he committed and came back was becuz I was very committed in serving him earlier on. So now I know, AFTER SALES SERVICE is standard, everyone is doing it, PRE SALE SERVICE is a MUST, not everyone can provide it though.
So I have already achieved 50% of my target for this week. Way to GO!!!!! I will continue to STRIVE!

Tired..

Been working for a week already, no time to really rest, becuz everyday is a working day. I'm real tired. Try stand for 8hr/day for 6days. Maybe I'm not sales person material, for the entire week, I only sold 2 LCD TVs, my god!, not even a PLASMA!
Although sales figures is poor, I did learn alot of sales techniques in this one week. From every one customer that did not buy anything from me, I learnt something, I learnt how to deal with the same kind of person the next time I encounter them. I also learnt how to deal with difficult customers, customers who are skeptical about unheard brands etc etc.
Its good that I started this sales line in a unknown/ relatively new company. It takes alot of effort and time to convince people into believing me and actually fork out a couple of hundreds of dollars to buy something they had not even heard of. So even though I only sold 2 LCD TVs, for the entire week, I'm quite satisfied, at least I can convince 2 person to buy my product. It is the sense of satisfaction you attain when your customer buys from you, especially when your product's name is unheard of. If you are the sales person for leading brands like PIONEER, HITACHI, you can just put other brands down and lift up your own brand, becuz ppl know that your product has some kind of standings in the market. But for me, I cannot put other brands down to compliment myself, based on what? my customer will ask. So I 've to compliment others, at the same time, compliment my own products, then state out what stands out in my products when compared to other leading brands and its up to them to believe me and thats what it is most difficult. Nevertheless, I will continue to try hard. My 1st PLASMA TV will be sold soon! This coming week, Im going to target at 2 PLASMA TVs! Shall see.
I've been smoked free for a week. The last stick i lighted was on the 13th June 2005 at 1130hrs. That was the last and final time I smelled like an ashtray. I feel that quitting smoking is such a simple thing to do, why didn't I do that long time ago? I would have saved lots of $$ by now. Coming to think about it, the ability for a person to succeed in whatever he wants to do, largely depends on how great his desire in succeeding is, and this desire is all up in the mind. When your mind think you will, YOU CAN! Likewise for quitting smoking, if your desire to quit is not strong, your reasons to quit is not substantiate, then most probably, I would say is you will fail.
With strong desire and a clear objective, anything is possible becuz IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING! I will sell 2 or more sets of PLASMA next week. Not becuz I wanna earn more on commission, becuz the commission and pay im earning is peanuts, If i tell you my earnings, you will definitely wonder why am I still working with this company, I might as well be working in Macdonalds, maybe i will earn more.hahaz! Its becuz I want to be able to convince customers in believing in what I say. Becuz I believe that to most people, money is a very important factor in life, making these people fork out from their pocket a few thousand dollars in buying something that they themselves are not familiar with, when I am able to do that, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE, I believe that when a person's persuasion and convincing power increases, his EARNING power definitely increases, not only in terms of sales but same goes to other aspect in life. Becuz as a sales person, you are not only selling your products, you are at the same time selling yourself. If you are able to sell yourself well, sometimes the products doesn't even comes into the picture.
I am really tired but I will continue to STRIVE!

Too many things, too little time!

Arrrggghh! Its 0347hr 16th June 2005, I needa wake up at 1030 later for work. I have so many things to do! I just cannot finish! I have too little time. Currently I am working as a sales promoter at Suntec City Carrefour promoting PALLADINE's Plasma and LCD TVs. This is a local brand relatively new to the market and if you have never heard of it, this goes to show something, you have been hiding in the hole for too long, its time to crawl outta your hole and see this beautiful world. Need a new TV? Gimme a CALL! Im sure you will not regret calling! I am on a 6 working day week and I'm on OFF every TUES. So Tues i would spent my time going onto door to door sales promoting a home water purification system called "KINERTEC". Interested? Just gimme a call or leave me a MSG. I will explain everything in detail and even provide a free demo at no obligations at all. Wait till you know/see how dirty our tap water actually is, no joke at all!
On top of all this, I have a long long "to-be-done" list. It goes:
1. Apply for Tuition Fee Loan from the bank with my Dad ASAP by the end of this week most preferably. I am thinking of paying for my own fees thats why I wanna apply for this. At my age, if I'm still relying on them, I think my life is not worth living anymore. What a failure i would say.
2. Summit all required documents for my applications for donated bursaries by 21st June 2005. $1500 bucks to top-up for my loan which on covers 80% of tuition fees.
3. My entire room is in ONE BIG MESS, that includes my guest room which is also in a BIG MESS because ever since I ORDed, things had never been in place. Got to clear the shit ASAP, hopefully by my next OFF day! Ever seen a dumping ground? Call and arrange for a meeting at my home for a 1st hand experience. Call now! While stock last!
4. Write a 100 words write out on WHY I WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE IN A SEP IN FRANCE/GERMANY/SWISS for my application to this Language Preparation Prog for the Student Exchange Prog in France/Germany or Swiss. Most probably I won't get it , but anyway, no harm trying right?! Got to summit by 1st July 2005!
5. EVERYTHING ELSE! UNI is starting soon and I'm still LOST IN SPACE n TIME! What The Hell am I doing?!
6. I've currently no time allocated for my DEAREST GF! HOW?! I shall SORT this out! Jolin asked me this Qn last evening, " Are you willing to forgo everything in your life, including money, career, business, everything, because of your GF?" Would you? My answer to her is YES period.
I just stepped out of my comfort zone with the WILL to Succeed! Everything else is making me feeling like falling back again! I just wonder how long can I last, how long can the will to succeed overpower the other elements. I shall not be MOVE!
And lastly, Wei Wen is a SMOKE-FREE person with effect from 15th June 2005. Congratulations to him! WELL DONE! hahaz!
Alright, till the next time I blog, same site, same blogger but might be a changed man, LATERZ!

Been a week

Hello everybody! I'm back in action. Been missing this for a week. Sorry to disappoint all those FANS of my blog out there. I understand the unfulfilled feeling every time you click on my link expecting a new entry but found none. lolz. After a week, my skin is still as thick, if not thicker. Alright, last week was quite an eventful week. Ever since the day I collected my Pink IC, i stepped into a whole new world with a new if not better set of ideologies. Let me recap what I did in this first week as a full fledged Civilian.
2nd June 2005, my 2nd day as a Civilian, Andrew, my dear friend back from Aussie after his studies, is ENLISTING on the 10th June, 2 days to go my friend, enjoy this very 2 days with your pink IC because you would not be seeing it for 2 years. 2 days and 2 years, what an irony! Anyway, I accompanied him to Goldenmile market commonly known as "The Army Market", to get stuffs needed for enlistment. Seeing him brought me to think of myself 2 years ago, with resemblance, at the same market, at the same stall (cuz intro him to the stall i frequent), doing the same thing, but then I was a lost bird, and now I was there to guide him. Bought all the stuff he needed, we headed for the PC show at EXPO. It was crowded. I intend to buy a desktop as the current one I'm using is passing on anytime soon, especially so for my monitor. Andrew is also getting a new one, so we walked around, collected most of the phamlets for best deals from most companies and left. Homework needs to be done before you purchased something that cost a thousand bucks. After which, I went to Suntec to meet up with Chongliang and Zijun. We went to print namecards for ourselves, the 1st step enroute success! Way To Go! I'm sure I can!
5th June 2005, my 1st Sunday as a Civilian, not having to worry about BOOK-IN timing on Sun night. After doing some homework and consulting an IT expert Mr Ang BengHwei, hahaz, I've decided on a set that suits my budget and is reasonably good. I aint no hardcore gamer, aint no hardcore graphic designer, aint no programmer, so all I need is a moderately good PC to support me to check my emails, surf the net, do some school projectwork. So this time round, I went down to Expo with Chongliang and Zijun. They are getting SD cards and bluetooth headset. So I ordered my Compaq presario SR1420AP which cost S$1299, with a free HP printer. I also bought a Logitech cordless desktop set LX300 costing $79. Therefore, I'm broke! To be broke is a temporary phenomenon, one would get out of it pretty fast if he work hard enough. Never say you are poor, because when you say you poor, you will never ever be rich. Because you fall into the vicious cycle of the poor gettting poorer. Chongliang bought a bluetooth headset, a 1GB SD card and a Bluetooth GPS receiver with a Malaysia's map downloaded. Zijun bought the same 1GB SD card. Afterwhich, they headed off to hougang and my gf and me head for home. Wanted to test out my new keyboard and mouse 1st thing I got home, but to my great disappointment, it requires a PS/2 port. My current computer is so old that it does not even have a PS/2 port. So i can only wait till my new Desktop arrives in 7-14days in order to test it out. Can't wait for its arrival!!
6th June 2005, Zijun's 22nd birthday. Happy birthday man! Hope you will attain all your dreams. Maybe we can reach there together! I will! Went to Galvin's home to learn about this water filtration system I'm into. Getting my ass to work if not my dream will never happen! To succeed, you need high volume of actions! After that at about 2100hrs went to Kbox Jurong East to celebrate Zijun's birthday. Zijun, Galvin, Chongliang, Me, my gf, ah ben, Jolin and CHICKEN were all there. hahaz, its the usual gang! Shall upload some of the exciting photos into my photos album. Check it out when you have the time. See how Jolin is being "tortured" once again by us! lolz! This time round I got it too! We sang till 3am. All 7 of us, squeezed into Chongliang's car, miracle, hahaz, its not a MPV, its a 5 seater SUZUKI SWIFT 1.5, for your infomation! So there he sent us home one by one. Alot of damaged done to the car.hahaz. Overloaded and overworked. Reached home at about 4am, tired. I will start work on the 15th June 2005. 15th June is a very IMPORTANT DATE! Its my QUIT SMOKING DAY! I gotta QUIT SMOKING BY THAT DAY which is drawing near, these weeks, I have already cut down by alot. Still working on it. I will Succeed! This day is also the day, I will start on my SALES BUSINESS! After my 1st step enroute success, this is the 1st day and also 1 day nearer to being successful! Saying is motivational, SEEING is BELIEVING! So peepz, JUST WAIT AND SEE!
7th June 2005, ChongLiang and me went to Kaixiang's chalet in the evening. BBQ with his classmates. Fun Luving peepz. Had lotsa fun! Stayed over there for the night, then came back home only this morning.
These coming few days, I'm going to recuperate from all the damage done the past week. These few days is also for me to do any last minute preparations for the upcoming NPCC NCO CAMP 2005 from 11th to 13th June. I will be attending this camp this coming weekend as an Instructor, playing an advisory role to the camp. I would also need to prepare myself for the upcoming challenge in doing sales. My staff aids and business strategies will be out! Peepz please remember, 15th june 2005. If i don't get my ass moving that day, I will be a failure for life! To succeed, great volume of Actions is needed.
Hopefully, I can blog more often, because looking at the length of this entry is the result of failing to blog for a week. BUT having the time to blog too often is not a good sign! I should be busy instead of idling at home, looking into the computer to blog. Okie! Time to get busy! Wei Wen, You Can Do It! laterz!

The Beginning Of an end

What I have been awaiting for has finally arrived. 1st of June 2005, this day marks the end of my Fulltime National Service in the SAF. This very day, I would embark on a new journey in life. A journey that is unpredictable, a journey whereby the roads will be rough ahead, a journey of no return. The first step of this upcoming phase, begins when I took my first step out of camp this morning. A step that transforms me from a soldier to a Civilian. Looking back at the building where I had bunked in the last 1 1/2 years, a sudden surge of sadness filled up within me, what will the road ahead be like? At the same time, a sense of happiness which words cannot describe gushed up upon me, I am finally out this fucked up organisation.
From S1 branch, I not only received my NRIC, comes with it are my NS booklet, a NSMan guide book and a Certificate of Service. On the bus on the way home, i was reading the NSMan guide book, there is this phrase which caught my eye that goes, "We wish you a good start to your dual role as a civilian and a soldier." Quite a irony from what I had just said, "A step that transforms me from a soldier to a Civilian." Maybe, as a male Singaporean, we would never escape the term "SOLDIER", no matter who you are, no matter what you do.

To every male Singaporean, The 11B will always go with the NRIC.
There is a song which I particularly like because the lyrics are really meaningful. The Chorus goes:
"For every Singaporean son, will serve his term untill he is done,
For every single breathe he takes, is a bond which cannot break,
We've been through lightning, rain and sun, we're back to where we first began,
Through walls of fire we once run, forget my friend, you know I can't. "
