Humanmetrics Jung Typology Test

1.  My personality has slightly changed.  My current personality type is

On February 5, 2012 my personality type was

My response can be found here.
Since then, I have changed from 11% judging to 22% perceiving.

I am now have a

• distinctive preference of Extraversion over Introversion (67%)

• moderate preference of Intuition over Sensing (38%)

• strong preference of Thinking over Feeling (88%)

• slight preference of Perceiving over Judging (22%)

I still agree with my statement.  I would still define myself as someone who is somewhat outgoing and not afraid to meet new people.


2.  After high school I would like to study mechanical engineering at either the University of Waterloo or the University of Toronto.  Since being involved in a robotics team in both middle school and high school, I believe I have found my calling.  After university, I would like to have a job that promotes STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) to school children.  Since I was lucky enough to be exposed to STEM in school, I believe that everyone should have the opportunity.  Vex Robotics does an excellent job at this, as it provides a fairly inexpensive robotic platform to schools, as well as multiple competitions throughout the world, all the while being affordable.

3.  Lets assume I have a rent an apartment for $600 a month (including hydro-electric bills) or $7,200 a year, a $20,000 car paid for over 10 years, or $3,000 a year, home upkeep and additions (i.e. appliances, furniture) at $5,000 a year, and about $80 a week in food, or $4,160 a year.  Adding another $1,000 for recreational activities, my approximate cost of living will be about $20,360 a year.

4. I imagine a perfect career as something that is able to promote STEM subjects to children and teenagers.  I believe that STEM subjects are so important, and the more children exposed to them, the better.  Because of this, working in a company that not only exposes children to STEM, but also lets them enjoy it would be an ideal job for me.  Two companies that come to mind are Innovation First International (that run the VEX Robotics Competition), and FIRST (For Inspiration of Recognition of Science andTechnology).

5.  If I could model my career after anyone, it would be Dean Kamen.  He is most well known for his inventions of the Segway and the iBot (a wheelchair that can climb chairs), however I look up to his because he founded FIRST.  FIRST has touched the lives of hundreds of thousands of children across the world, by exposing them to various levels of robotics and robotic education.  Children as young as 6 may participate in the Jr. FLL program.  As stated in an earlier question, I would love to have a job that promotes STEM subjects to children, and this is what Mr. Kamen has done.  Through innovation, intelligence, and creativity, he has changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of children, myself included.    

6.  I believe that there are multiple reasons as to why some adults work for minimum wage at the age of 40.  They may have dropped out of high school and never attempted to get a job that pays more.  Another possible situation could a stay-at-home parent whose child(ren) have grown up, and the are looking for something to do.  A final situation applies to people older than 40, but sometimes minimum wage jobs are used to supplement a retirement fund.

7. Adults may work in jobs that they are not happy with for a multitude of reasons.  They may have received the job straight out of school, and never bothered/were able to change it.  It may be a very well paying job.  The job may also let you be with your family, either in a geographic sense or in your hours.
