Personality Psychology
About the Statements
The items are all taken from the International Personality Item Pool, using the 100 question Big Five personality test which is available in the public domain. The Big Five personality traits (openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism) were discovered more than 30 years ago, and have been found to be extremely consistent for people even when the test is retaken years later. Thus, they represent a stable part of what it means to be `you`.
Openness
Openness to Experience describes a dimension of personality that distinguishes imaginative, creative people from down-to-earth, conventional people. Open people are intellectually curious, appreciative of art, and sensitive to beauty. They tend to be, compared to closed people, more aware of their feelings. They therefore tend to hold unconventional and individualistic beliefs, although their actions may be conforming (see agreeableness). People with low scores on openness to experience tend to have narrow, common interests. They prefer the plain, straightforward, and obvious over the complex, ambiguous, and subtle. They may regard the arts and sciences with suspicion, regarding these endeavors as abstruse or of no practical use. Closed people prefer familiarity over novelty; they are conservative and resistant to change.
Conscientiousness
Conscientiousness concerns the way in which we control, regulate, and direct our impulses. Impulses are not inherently bad; occasionally time constraints require a snap decision, and acting on our first impulse can be an effective response. Also, in times of play rather than work, acting spontaneously and impulsively can be fun. Impulsive individuals can be seen by others as colorful, fun-to-be-with, and zany. Conscientiousness includes the factor known as Need for Achievement (NAch).
The benefits of high conscientiousness are obvious. Conscientious individuals avoid trouble and achieve high levels of success through purposeful planning and persistence. They are also positively regarded by others as intelligent and reliable. On the negative side, they can be compulsive perfectionists and workaholics. Furthermore, extremely conscientious individuals might be regarded as stuffy and boring. Unconscientious people may be criticized for their unreliability, lack of ambition, and failure to stay within the lines, but they will experience many short-lived pleasures and they will never be called stuffy (i.e. dull, boring, unimaginative).
Extraversion
Extraversion (also "extroversion") is marked by pronounced engagement with the external world. Extraverts enjoy being with people, are full of energy, and often experience positive emotions. They tend to be enthusiastic, action-oriented individuals who are likely to say "Yes!" or "Let's go!" to opportunities for excitement. In groups they like to talk, assert themselves, and draw attention to themselves.
Introverts lack the exuberance, energy, and activity levels of extraverts. They tend to be quiet, low-key, deliberate, and less dependent on the social world. Their lack of social involvement should not be interpreted as shyness or depression; the introvert simply needs less stimulation than an extravert and more time alone to re-charge their batteries.
Agreeableness
Agreeableness reflects individual differences in concern with cooperation and social harmony. Agreeable individuals value getting along with others. They are therefore considerate, friendly, generous, helpful, and willing to compromise their interests with others`. Agreeable people also have an optimistic view of human nature. They believe people are basically honest, decent, and trustworthy.
Disagreeable individuals place self-interest above getting along with others. They are generally unconcerned with others` well-being, and therefore are unlikely to extend themselves for other people. Sometimes their skepticism about others` motives causes them to be suspicious, unfriendly, and uncooperative.
Agreeableness is obviously advantageous for attaining and maintaining popularity. Agreeable people are better liked than disagreeable people. On the other hand, agreeableness is not useful in situations that require tough or absolute objective decisions. Disagreeable people can make excellent scientists, critics, or soldiers.
Neuroticism
Neuroticism, also known inversely as Emotional Stability, refers to the tendency to experience negative emotions. Those who score high on Neuroticism may experience primarily one specific negative feeling such as anxiety, anger, or depression, but are likely to experience several of these emotions. People high in Neuroticism are emotionally reactive. They respond emotionally to events that would not affect most people, and their reactions tend to be more intense than normal. They are more likely to interpret ordinary situations as threatening, and minor frustrations as hopelessly difficult. Their negative emotional reactions tend to persist for unusually long periods of time, which means they are often in a bad mood. These problems in emotional regulation can diminish a neurotic`s ability to think clearly, make decisions, and cope effectively with stress.
At the other end of the scale, individuals who score low in Neuroticism are less easily upset and are less emotionally reactive. They tend to be calm, emotionally stable, and free from persistent negative feelings. Freedom from negative feelings does not mean that low scorers experience a lot of positive feelings; frequency of positive emotions is a component of the Extraversion domain.

Sorry, blame it on me
nice tune. i like.
but i think its crasy to apologise for something that yet to occur.. hmm
aren't you suppose to stop it from happening??!
what's the point of saying sorry when you did not make an effort to stop it from happening??!!
madness.
dun really agree with this song, even thou there are parts that its quite sweet, but it totally lose it if it's just saying sorry and no aftermath.
i think i'm not the kind who will clear up people's shit.
i think you have to clear up your own mess yourself.
hur. but still. nice tune~ haha

life. as i see.
i guess death happens all the time, at this very minute, someone may have left the earth. but oso at this very minute, a baby or babies has/have come to life.
my little nephew asked, great grandma really died?
my cousin replied, yes.
den he asked, where did she go?
my cousin couldnt answer.
when we were innocent kids, we dont know about all these scary stuff or the more worldly stuff, like death, like love and birth.
just having fun in the blissful world of our own.
when we get older, all these came to us. we are unfortunate.
this time, it is the first shock of sudden death of a friend.
this left everyone thinking, life is short, fragile, unpredictable...
there was a saying, "live your day like you have no tomorrow"
i thought it was nonsense, if there is no tomorrow, then I won't be doing what I am doing now.. I will be spending my time with my love ones and say words that i haven say.. donate my savings.. send gifts to frens.. blah. and imagine how depressing it is if everyday you jsut tell yourself that.
but you know, life being unpredictable, meaning an unknown constant and time is a fixed constant of 24hr, only you can decide what to substitute into this function to get an equation that makes sense to you.
often we dream of what we want to be.. but little that we realise that our job is to be what we want to be.
it will be sad if you live your life like a lie.
i know it's difficult, but i olways believe that we can lie to the world, but we cannot lie to ourselves.
just be who you are, becos if you keep running away from yourself, mayb she wont come back anymore on the day you feel tired of being the exterior you. then you look inside but you are unsure anymore and that will leave you more lost than before.
you spent so much effort and time beautifying the temple of your soul, but you forgot to nurture your soul and she became malnutrition.
and you lose the light in your eyes and the spring in your steps.
i dont know how to be courageous. i think i'm never associated with that word! ha
but just dont be afraid to speak up for yourself.
for 20 years down the road, you may not remember all the right things that you have done..
but remember the words or things that you should have.
be like boonsan! i admire his courage to speak his mind, to shout at the starter to hold, because his boat is not ready, to not let anything come to his way that is going to obstruct what he wants to create.
cherish the ones you love and loves you.
becos you really mean the world to someone out there.

memories...
boonsan is really someone you love and hate... the things that he says together with his crudeness olways tickled all of us.
and we olways just love to make fun of him, if there is any chance.
a very strong pacer. he has the calibre to yaya papaya..
last sem was his final sem and he had a new camera as a present from his gf,
den he went around taking pictures of sdba, the guys team,the gers team
and he will say.. "for memories!"
that day at the dinner i told him, "boonsan, take picture leh.. MEMORIES!"
for now, he really lives on in my memory forever.
its all so unreal.. this weekend..
the d b community is devastated..
dear friend, I wish that you find peace and comfort in a better faraway land.
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.
i will never forget you.

Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.
It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time.
It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
So take the photographs
and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf
In good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories
and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth,
it was worth all the while.

dear god...
just sitting in front of my laptop and staring at all the msn nicks and all the news updates.
trying to study for my 2 papers coming tmr and wed.
i prayed that they be fine.
i cannot imagine, he's my fren.
i was hopeful, they can be found, they are strong swimmers.
but the current was stronger.
as minutes and hours passed, i wish the villagers caught them or they were being wash up the shore..
want to know the importance of 1 minute or 1 hour?
maybe now you'll see how big a difference it make or how torturous it is to friends and families..
40 hours already.
they found 2 bodies.
the captain is going to identify his dear teammates.
we anxiously waiting for news here.
but i know we all will not believe anything.
unless it is confirmed.
its slim but there may be a chance.
dear god,
i pray for a miracle.
please. =..(

patriotic
i never like history in secondary school. and i cant understand why my bro loves it so much.
i guess i've misssed out!
history is really quite fun.
too bad i only know how to appreciate at this me.
studying for E & S. and its really something different from all the theories, formulaes, concepts of science.
its just purely about my nation.
i enjoyed studying for it even thou i only attended the last lecture. hurhur..
reading about the history of spore again and i really admire L K Y.
-salute-
the courage, the visionary, the determination to bring spore from a land that somebody dont want to a country we are today.
from 1965, 42 years down the road, from 3rd world to 1st world and having what we have today is really incredible. its really effort and hard work of many.
i think they are desperately trying to convey a message that Spore is a small nation, this is olways our main insecurity. i can understand that worry. in alot of things, size really does matter.
we should be too complacent abt life here. this comfort zone was built by the earlier generations and we are lucky to be enjoying it.
our home is not just where ur family and u stay in.
look at the bigger picture,
it is your country.
stand even further and see,
it is this planet.
protect the environment people!
every bit goes a long way~

hmmm.
"Even if she did the right thing, did she do it in the right way? One of the important things that young professionals should learn as quickly as possible is that how one does something is sometimes as important--or almost as important--as what one does."
so true!

ITCHY LEH
RAR.
something is wrong with me.
i have itchy hands
now it is itchy everywhere.
boo
whats wrong???!
i was suspecting its my rabbit.
i may b alllergic to its protein in the saliva
OR
the dust from my "almost black" fan!!!
you know like dust are being propelled down from the fan to my body!
and i feel itchy when the wind blows.
my guess its the dust!!!
i'm going to buy dettol tmr and clean up the rooom.

these few days
hais
these few days supposed to be mugging.
but i'm kinda doing it half heartedly.
-oh well like wats new abt it-
i guess i can NEVER fully absorb the whole of one sem's work.
even if i absorb it, my memory will still fail me.
my brain has low ultimate tensile strength.
constant studying leads to cyclic loading, which is bad too.
low cycle fatigue will lead to plastic deformation.
plastic deformation cause dislocations to move and intersect and decrease crystallinity.
cracks start to nucleate, propagate and grow.
and as they grow bigger, they are more susceptible to further stress and they start to nucleate, propagate and grow again.... blah blah...
GOld is good.
becos it is inert!
good to be stuff in the middle to prevent eating up of one another.
however, the 2 cant gel well too becos GOLD, being in the middle, doesnt really stick to anyone!
bad adhesion.
susceptible to delamination!
hur
this is the kind of thing i'm studying ppl~
and i kinda olways forget the whatever stress.. whatever strain.. modulus..

last weekend
was really happening.
i was excited over this race cos we were more prepared for it.
and for me coxing for this race is kinda bad. :(
especially for tertiary... sorry gers.
all along i knew coxing for reg atta is not easy cos you have choppy waters and the damm string to hold and the narrow race course.
boo.
everything can be better after its over...
but at that moment i did gave my all.
but if you think u can do a better job.
den come ba.
i'm planning to go back to rowing. :)
i wanna try, that is...
start slow first to see if my shoulders are fine..
coxing and drumming for the snr boat really makes me wanna join them back in rowing!
alot.
they really really improved.
its so so so heartening!
when i recall the "bath tub" trng session back before last jun race.
wow!
really different.
i did notice individuals who improve too.
strength wise
and rowing as a boat wise.
it is the best when everyone in the boat pointing their paddle at the same precise angle and pulling the water and recover at the same angle again.
i see that from the back.
the highest level of synchronisation.
to get one boat one stroke.
LONGER
HARDER
DEEPER
YES YES YES!!!
another thing that make me feel heartened is the new appointment holders!
woo.
goddess
ash
jane.
i feel the 3 of them will compliment and support each other.
a good mix!
a pretty good end to my last reg atta.
:)
now every race is kinda the last.
oh no.
and dammm 10 days to exams
god bless pang.
and i am VOICELESS AGAIN!
hais
3rd time le
boo hoo hoo
seriously i feel better being a cox den a drum.
i feel i contribute more and have more awareness of what is happening around.
cos the cox sees the best.
can judge the situation better than when i drum,
cos everythings seems so opposite you know.
i'm like going backwards!
haha
and i olways scream my throat out...
boo.

我怀念的
想问为什么 我不再是你的快乐
可是为什么 却苦笑说我都懂了
自尊常常将人拖着 把爱都走曲折
假装了解是怕真相太赤裸裸
狼狈比失去难受
我怀念的 是无话不说
我怀念的 是一起作梦
我怀念的 是争吵以后
还是想要爱你的冲动
我记得那年生日
也记得那一首歌
记得那片星空
最近的右手
最暖的胸口
谁忘了
我怀念的 是无言感动
我怀念的 是绝对炙热
我怀念的 是你很激动求我原谅
抱著我的痛 我记得你在背后
我记得 我颤抖着
记得感觉汹涌
最美的烟火
最沉的相拥
谁爱的太脆弱
谁过头爱了
谁要走我的心
谁忘了那就是承诺
谁自古自里走
谁忘了看着我
谁让爱变执着
谁忘了要给你温柔
还是想要爱你的冲动

grandma left.
saddening.
when the very next time i visited her, she was lying there motionless.
heart-wrenching.
when she was living a minute ago and the next she lies in the coffin.
grievous.
when i remembered she used to play ball with me when i was young.
sorrowful.
as we prayed for her, wishing she will go to a better land.
painful.
when the flame has to burn everything down to ash.
its really the end.
when the spirit left the body.
its merely a shell to house our soul.
something that you cant bring with you,
something that will age, will fail, will rot.
something that has to turn to ash.
the soul is the life.
the soul that gave the body a purpose.
its time we take a look at what we are made up of inside.
did we spend too much time decorating the outside and ignore our deprived soul.
was so sad when i saw my mum cried so badly.
:(
hais but i think it frees the soul becos the body is too tired to carry on.
解脱。
bye grandma.
sians.
so many things to do and i just dont feel like doing it
i hate reading off the monitor.
it tires out my eyes!!
RARRRR

知足常乐

Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want; it is the realization of what you already have.
we actually have alot.
it just depends on who you are comparing with.
we are forgetful.
we forgets what we already have.
we are loved.
because each of us mean the world to somebody out there.
we need to appreciate more.
because you never know how much it is going to hurt if it's missing one day.
churn it out!!!

wasting my holiday away/
hello people,
last week of hols liao. and i kinda did not accomplish anything since i'm back from china.
slacking big time!
ok other than meeting prof for fyp
other than catching up with old friends (jss people! and siok! ok oso jss too haa)
other than visiting the dentist
other than watching many movies..
other than jq's convo..
fyp ah fyp. STARTS NOW!
yup need to hand in lit review first day of school. errm haven start writing yet. still figuring out how to write a lit review and reading JOURNALSsss. my eyes get tired so easily. boo.
BUT i must jiayou for fyp!!! i will do my best!
okie to brace or not to brace?
hmm no exact need for it and i need to pluck out 4 good molars! i kinda 舍不得my teeth leh.
like 无缘无故 pull them out for wat? hmm so still thinking..
movies!! okie darling and i caught Transformers (robot in disguise~), Simpsons and Harry.
transformers the best! its funny here and there.
harry is disappointing.. boring and the fighting scenes are not that fantastic. the way they fought with their wands are like weird, twisting here and there.. contorted..
OHH talking about twisting here and there!
i visited a chiropractic doctor.
because of my arm. wahhh he twist and pull me and crack my bones! he says he is putting them back into position.
regarding my shoulder. its due to the nature of our sport. muscle growth imbalance. apparently muscle on my left chest grows more than the right and this cause it to pull my left shoulder forward. OUT OF PLACE! yeah so needa put in back... and strengthen the back muscle.
hmm pretty cool i think, no medications! purely depending on the body to heal itself!
i got massaged by a physio lady. argh its was agony! i need to visit them again next week
and it cost me a bomb can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sigh.
broke.
oooh late. i better sleep early. so many bad habits in me. bad eating habits. bad sleeping habits.
i need to go for rehab!
okie trng tmr. but i will be there to cox only. cant row.
yups nites world.

she really never failed to give me strength. everything she said hits a cord in my heart and many others. i guess its bcos we all have been so emotionally tied to phoenix.
i no longer contributes to the back pack.
now my heart goes to all the 10 pairs.
saw the video the orange and blue team made.
we are very similar. truely.
we celebrate friendship just the same.
the every single one in the team.
at the end of their video, it says.
the journey may be over
but a new one has already begun..
June 2007, see you at the finishing line.
i respect them.
i respect them as a competitor.
their journey did began earlier than us.
they have the driving force to take up the challenge once again.
to stand tall and walk on..
but my team is special.
the gers are just special and unique in their own ways.
we have been on this journey for so long, leaving our footsteps, our laughter, our sweat, our pain, our disappointment, our achievements, our struggle together on the land and on the sea.
this sport needs all our hearts.
thru sweat and tears we stand together.
when our hearts beat as one, that's when we fly/
take pride in being here and now
with every single one of us.
we will take whatevr that comes our way
face on.
eyes wide.
i'll see you at the chequered buoy too.

wat man.
wat have i been doing?
everything seems to be so screwed up.
i think i haven get by a month without any external or internal injury.
first was my stupig ankle ever since stand chart. it was on and off and i spent quite a lot of money on treating it. okie lets see..
sports doctor, DR. LOW.
1st visit - $150.00
2nd visit - $120.00
happily went to see him cos cuimei says can claim frm sch. which in the end i did not bcos dad says dont lie.. okie and so i did not. most of the time the doc just told me to rest.. yea.
den it got better for awhile but when i go back to running, it hurts again. tmd.
somebody told me abt uncle saim,
1st and only visit - any amount but i gave $15.00
boo din work for me. my leg became v suan the next day and the pain is still there. sux.
den mum and dad brought me to a chinese sinseh.
3 visits - $35.00 bucks each. so thats $105.00
i would say he's not too bad, i see improvement after the 2nd visit. slightly but there is still.
den i concluded that i really really need a new pair of running shoes. dr low says my ds trainer doesnt suits my feet type. so off i went to running lab to search for a suitable pair. asics GT. bought it at queensway, cos its definitely cheaper!
new shoes which i dint wear - $138.00
BUT.
i dont feel comfortable in that pair. its like bulky and dont fit my feet closely too.
pissed!
so i took out my 3 pairs of asics and analyze.
the best pair i had was the blue ds trainer i had in year one. it suits me very well. den i realised the orange ds and the gt were too broad. i got narrow feet.
and so i went to buy an in sole to put in my old pair of shoes becos it was quite worn out.
insole - $39.90
all these was from dec 06 to may 07. argh and i dont want to calculate the total amount i've spent.
den from mid may till now. cut my finger at work. splint in pinky. top arm pain. left back pain. eating glucosamine to take care of my joints and the weakness and restricted motion of my top arm is really irritating me. red told me abt a massage she's been going and so we went together last sunday.
full body massage for 1 hr - $40.00
it felt pretty good to be massage but the neck and back was quite hard on me..
den again, my top arm prob was not any better..
ytd nite was such a disaster. stepped into the gap in the pontoon which i dunno why my eyes got stamps or watever. stepped right into the gap, hit my thigh at the edge.. that was pretty painful that i din even know i cut myself.. and wats worse was i hit ham's head with the paddle.. arghhh..
sorry hams :(
i better stop being too close behind you..
i really hope you are fine..
hams fel yeling cleaned my wounds. thanks thanks gers. thanks for being there:)
and i'm such a gu niang.. RAR
irritating.
jq brought me to the clinic and got me a tentanus jab and some antibiotics and anti inflammation pills.
doc visit for cuts and bruise - $151.00
faints.
FAINTS.
wats more?...
:S
things at home not on the bright side too. mum and dad like not talking...
please, please stop the cold war....
i dunno wats wrong and wats making mum so pisssed.

well i dunno.
talked to red some time back,
she reminded me something.
why when someone under perform, ppl will think she's skiving?
why not ask if she's feeling ok? if she's sick?
is it bcos there's too much doubt in each other?
are we spending most of the time picking on each other, rather than really caring?
sets me thinking..
one cannot tell somebody to feel the way they should be feeling.
a feeling has to be felt.
bcos it is a feeling mah...
so only actions speak louder.
where's the joy?
mayb it comes from getting wat we ultimately want, but, as the complimentry product.
like enjoying fishing purely on fishing and not on the fish that were caught.
she's right..
i think just happy rowing and enjoying everything of it will unconciously bring her to the rewarding goal..
kinda just do it purely bcos you like it.
of cos that includes liking the nature of it. (competitive)
but with that cup, trng just to win and forgetting abt what is in it..
scary.
stressful. =\
used to be so looking forward to team lunch after every trng!
just hanging around and walking around with the gers..
seeing each other for so many times a week.
but why does it feel empty sometimes with some?
if doing things for the sake of doing it,
is definitely different from doing things with an intention that you are convinced of.
bcos wat's within is gone.
no substance.
like reading your notes 3 times before exams will give u an A.
but reading it 3 times and reading with your eyes only doesnt count.
reading has to plus understanding..
like going for meals together doesnt mean we will get to know each other better and get bonded.
i can go for lunch with my collegues for 6months, 5 times a week and we are just hi-bye.
but getting together is a means of getting to know better.
by talking and sharing heart to heart...
talking as if we are standing on the same level..
no one tries to over rule or judge too quickly.
it is difficult to talk when someone is agressive and that will only make the other defensive.
talk like friends~
its not that easy bcos you cant pretend to be one.
erm hard to describe, its just a feeling thing.
to row for somebody on the boat.
you will know it when you know it.
you cant tell someone to row for someone when she just feels like errmm your neighbour.. your tutorial mate.. your course mate..
it will just come across as an instruction.
she has to be someone you deem worth fighting for.
i did that before. bcos she's someone close to my heart..
bcos they gave me strength.
technique is impt, totally agree. its fundamental
but what gels us together will bring us further.
this team is warm, she said.
dont let it turn cold.
-my reflections my thoughts-
