Now I Understand

For the past week I've been intrigued with a very popular personality test, the Temperament Character Intelligence Test by David Keirsey.

I have done so many personality quizzes in my life, but often they have answers that can be said about anyone. This is by far the most accurate personality test I have ever done. The testing is very intense, with 70 questions to answer. It then tells you which temperament you are, and even more specific which of the four types within each temperament you are.

After you find out which temperament you are, you can read all about yourself. The book , "Please Understand Me" goes into details on everything from your most likely parenting traits, the ways you deal with stress, best job fits, and even mating compatibility (arguing patterns, etc).

My boyfriend and I each did the test. I was declared an Idealist, more specifically a Teacher. Wes was diagnosed (yes I sound medical) a Guardian, more specifically a tie between an Inspector and Protector.

Even though the test doesn't say we're the most compatible pair, it helped us understand each other's patterns, such as our romance and time management habits. I was amazed at how accurate the test was. Many are doubtful of how accurate the test is, but it fits my boyfriend and I to a "T".

I suggest you try it out, and see for yourself! But obviously take the compatibility tests with a grain of salt! (Aka. Don't dump your partner because you don't fit in the most compatible pair section, unless it's a coverup for the real reason you've been wanting to break up) !

Bud Light. Just Right.

Yesterday I watched the Cannes Lions ad winners at the Winnipeg Art Gallery. I was impressed with the incredible display of creativity like usual. I didn't laugh as loud as last year but there were more well done serious ads and PSAs this year.

I do enjoy watching serious ones if they make you think or make you emotional. Many of them this year tugged on my heart strings and made me think again about certain issues. I was ecstatic to see the Canadian Cancer Society's Fight Back campaign in the winners because it is one of my favourites. Beware if you watch it though because it is very emotional and heart wrenching.

On to a lighter note! Bud Light had some really funny ads on the winning list! This campaign promotes their beer as "not too heavy and not too light...just right!" This one is my favourite of the campaign and I don't think it was a winner at the Cannes but it is hilarious! Check it out! And if you have time check out the rest of the campaign on YouTube!
