Big 5 Personality Test
Mar. 20th, 2018 09:17 am
Took a Big 5 Personality inventory yesterday. So apparently I am a pretty balanced person. I agree with what it assesses as my most marked personality qualities: agreeableness, stability, & intellect. I think probably I should score even slightly lower on conscientiousness, though. I really am very disorganized, but perhaps the fact that I’m not out-of-control impulsive really made the difference there. I was talking to my friend Tashina about it (oh she of the DNP in mental health) and told her I think that I am NATURALLY quite disorganized & fairly impulsive, but because of the way these inventories work, they often ask about your BEHAVIOR. I have trained myself quite rigorously to avoid the disorganized/impulsive behaviors because they make my career much more difficult, so there is a difference now between my nature & the way I actually behave.
Much fun yesterday shopping & generally being out & about! We all went out to eat at a “new burger place” that neither of my in-laws could remember the name of. They knew the general location & described it to me, so I went on Google Maps and found that it was...Shake Shack!! I was so excited. I’ve seen so many rave reviews of it online and I’d wanted to try it for a while, but of course nothing ever comes to Arkansas until it’s well & truly mainstream. It was actually very delicious; best fast casual burger I’ve ever had for sure. I did not try an eponymous shake. I did get some raspberry ginger lemonade which was A+++. Kick you RIGHT in the face lemon flavor!
On our way out, we saw a cupcake ATM! We did not get a cupcake. We did get a cookie.
After this I went shopping with my mom-in-law & got some clothes! Four new spaghetti strap camisoles & cardigans to mix & match (which have been a mainstay of my wardrobe since the early 2000s), 2 pairs of crop jeans a bit longer than capri length, and a very cool t-shirt I wish they’d had in a wider range of colors because it was SO COMFY. I went with the gray one but maybe should’ve gotten the black one too. I gave the red with cream stripes some thought, but ultimately didn’t go for it. I did notice that other than the gray t-shirt, everything I got yesterday was either red or blue! I guess I have a theme this summer.
Bryan & I went out for sushi for supper, then to LUSH, where I can spend WAY TOO MUCH MONEY. I kept it reasonable though. We got Bryan’s favorite shampoo bar (New! Is the actual name of it), Ocean Salt skin scrub, Mask of Magnaminty (my favorite mask of all time), a tea tree face treatment, and Imperialis moisturizer. I’ve also got a whole bag of Origins skin care for my birthday from my delightful in-laws. I LOOOVE skin care.
This morning Ganon & I were watching the garbage truck pick up the trash outside the house. The arm lifted up the first bin, emptied it, & put it back down. No problems. The 2nd bin, though...at the apex of the arm’s movement—fell right out of the arm into the garbage truck! Luckily it’s one of those garbage trucks that empties into a front container, then when it gets full, dumps the front container into the back container. So the worker was able to hop out & rescue the bin from the front compartment.
