random thoughts on Mr. Google

I always thought the Internet is amazing with its endless possibilities. I even think Google is so 'charming' (and so does all the search engines) when it 'found' so many things that I looked for. He's like a perfect boyfriend - very understanding and accommodating. lol. 

For example, when I hit the wall in my work - the Boss gave tasks that I had never done before. I can simply Google and found so many things. Like:

how to tell someone their work is bad
how to tell someone their work is not good enough


Now, I sometimes listen to the radio and heard song that I really like but never get to know the singer or even title. More than often, I would try to listen carefully and catch some of the lyrics. Then I would just Google the phrases and found it. How accommodating that is. Take That's Patience is one of the song that I googled many years back. And yeah, I got introduced to Youtube by Google.

Of Personality Test - I am an INFJ

I remember during my first semester taking MBA, the first subject I took was Organizational Behavior. In the first class, we were given sheets of questionnaire to figure out our personality type. So I went through my old notes dated 18th September 2014 and the Myer-Briggs Personality Test that I took showed that I am an INFJ. That was then. 



So recently, I took another test - ONLINE. There is this website where you can answer a set of questionnaire that will generate your personality type. It has been more than a year later and I still got INFJ. I guess I really am an INFJ. 



Based on my old notes, INFJ personality type "succeed by perseverance, originality and desire to do whatever is needed or wanted. Quietly forceful, conscientious, concerned for others. Respected for their firm principles."

The website, however, described an INFJ as a "Diplomat", an "Advocate" who adopts constant improvement as her/his strategy - quiet and mystical, yet very inspiring and tireless idealist.



The test that I did online had a more detailed descriptions in which you can read (here). When you do this kind of personality test, the outcome of the test always seems 'understanding'. I couldn't agree more with what the descriptions stated. They're like 80% close to what I've always felt or thought. You know what it feels like when somebody understands you? It feels great. 

So, go and do the test. See what you got and share with me! What's your type? Click (here) for the test.
