This journal made us take quizzes to see if we know our true
selves. I guess I figured out a little more about myself. My name
is Samantha Wampler and I’m 13 years old. I go to Harrison
Middle School. There were many different quizzes in this booklet
we had to take from being confident to being athletic. This
project started in August the very first month we were back in
school. We took a few quizzes every month to find out our real
selves. Here are my results from the tests.
To my surprise, I am an extrovert. I scored 40 out of 50 on the
quiz to find out if we were an extrovert or introvert. According
to the quiz I enjoy being around people and participating in
activities. I agree with the quiz because I always am willing to
go out with my friends and have a good time. I also like to speak
my mind a lot. I love to be included in activities and I am
outgoing. I always have loved to go out to parties and social
things with friends rather than sit home by myself. I would have
thought of myself as an extrovert also.
I scored 8 out of 11 on my quiz to test my confidence. I know
what it is like to be confident but also to be not confident. I
find certain people and situations make more confident than
others do. I think I am more confident than not. I think this
because when it comes to sports that I know I am good at I think
I become more confident. In certain classes when presenting I am
more confident depending on the class and people in it. While in
sports I feel really confident and confident enough to do
anything. At home my confidence drops down a lot. When I am
confident I sometimes turn very annoying therefore I don’t like
being annoying in front of my parents.
I scored 7 out of 7 on my daydreaming quiz. I am a heavy
daydreamer. I can daydream even while being occupied. I usually
daydream when I don’t like what I’m doing so I dream of a
place where I’m happier. When I day dreaming I can also be
figuring things out. I believe I day dream a lot more during
school than anywhere else. Day Dreaming helps me figure out a lot
that is going on in my life. It also entertains me when I am
bored. Daydreaming has gotten be in trouble a few times
before.
According to the quiz I am timid in different situations. I know
what it is like to be timid but I also know what it is like to be
not timid. I put myself in awkward situations at times and I’m
not sure how to get myself out of them. I can also be the life of
the party sometimes. I think I am more not timid than I am
actually being timid. I’ve had my fair share of shy moments but
also crazy moments as well. Overall, I think I am sometimes a
timid person.
I am sociable. I like people and they like me. I like to have fun
but I have to be careful and remember about me too. Sometimes
when I get too sociable I tend to get obnoxious. But I try to get
alone time for myself to. Being around people 24/7 often can make
a person stressed out and its always good to get some free
time.
I have had experiences of being a leader and a follower. I
realize that some situations tend to be more aggressive than
others. At other times, I am not comfortable not being in the
foreground. In some cases I might be a leader but in other I
might be a follower. When I’m around older people I am usually
a follower but with my age people I am normally the follower.
When I am follower I become bossy. I feel like I am in control of
everything and become very selfish. I am most likely more of a
leader than a follower.
Apparently to the quiz I do not take good care of myself. I feel
that I do take good care of myself and this quiz does not show
how I handle myself. I am not going to agree with words and a
piece of paper on how I take care of myself. I know that I am a
healthy person. I am going to continue dressing and maintaining
me just like how I do now with no help from a quiz.
I am someone with strong ideas of my own and I’m not going to
be swayed by prevailing trends. I also have to watch out that I
am not doing things just to be different. I think I am my own
person and I do not try to be like someone else.
I think I am very musical. Music moves me and inspires me. It
evokes all sorts of feelings inside of me. Music helps me through
a lot of hard times. I listen to all sorts of different types of
music. Music helps me figure out things I should do in my life.
It also helps me think a lot better. I am glad that I am the
musical type.
I feel like I have the talent to be a visual artist but I am not
oblivious to my surroundings. Sometimes to appreciate the way
things look I have to remind myself to really look at them. I
think photography is something I would be really interested in
doing.
I am a verbal person. I am comfortable with language and enjoy
its use in everyday life. I talk with my hands very often I
always have to remind myself to stop. Foreign languages are very
hard for me to understand. It’s hard for me to memorize
different languages other than my own. I am comfortable talking,
reading and writing to other people.
I am not a mechanical person. I think machines are very confusing
and hard. I am just more talented in something else. I am awful
at putting things together even if they come with an instructions
sheet. I have never completed putting anything together. I always
end up quitting right then and there.
I am a very athletic person. I play sports all the time all year
round. Sports keep me out of trouble. They also help me clear my
mind. When I am angry I take my anger out at sports. In my free
time I always try to get better at the sports that I do play. In
my opinion sports are the most fun things to do. I’ve been
playing sports for a long time ever since I was very little I
could never give up on sports. I plan on playing sports for the
rest of my life.
I am in a bad way with my parents. My parents and I fight very
often. We always end up making up in the end but our fights get
very heated. I guess my parents are always just as upset as I get
to. I fight a lot with my younger sibling also. I fight more with
my mother than I do with my father.
