As an Extravert I benefit from others. Often bouncing off their ideas and always wanting to receive another's comments before revising. Extraverts also tend to write outlines and want immediate results. I tend to do all of these things. For example on my last blog I was with four of my friends, one of which is in my English class. I was constantly asking all of them for advice and when I was finished I had my friend Tristen read through it and revise it before submitting it.
With the next part of my personality being iNtuition I need assignments that have general instructions allowing me to be original. I tend to write quickly allowing ideas to suggest the next and I typically generalize with the lack of support. I consistently see myself doing this. I typically see everything together and don’t usually break it down in specific examples, like I’m doing now.
Feeling is the third part of my personality which I think I relate to the most. With this I am motivated by assignments that relate to me personally or connect people together. I am always wanting my topic to be interesting and the focus to be on the audience directly. With this I tend to overdo personal insight, and need further clarification. One good example on how I could better this in my writing is by citing both the pros and cons of the argument.
The last type of my personality is Perceiving. With this I tend to select a broad topic without limiting it. Always just finding one more article or book to read. This makes first drafts way too long and revising is usually spent cutting out the unessential. Usually when I find myself doing this it is frustrating. To try and avoid this I am going to start with a more specific topic, that way I don’t have too much information and I can focus on more specific details.
In conclusion to this I feel like taking The Keirsey Temperament Test has helped me better understand who I am as a person and a writer. With the examples I was given I am now able to understand why I write the way I do and how to be more successful and perform better in my writing.
The transition for veterans into civilian life is a lot harder than we could imagine. First, when they return from being over seas it is hard for them to see their families. Veterans often feel disconnected from their loved ones. They tend to hide their true feelings and can not get themselves to open up. Both of my older brothers served in the army so I got to experience this first hand. It was hard to see someone I loved in emotional pain, and them not being able to explain it. After veterans are honorably discharged from the military they now have the struggle to find another job, and develop a career. The problem with this is that they can not usually use their military training. In order for them to get a good job they need to go to college, but most veterans can not afford college. It is also hard to apply, and receive the military benefits to have the government pay for their education.
