Introversion/Extroversion Survey

We  talk about introversion and extroversion in terms of how comfortable we are being around other people. Extroverts appear comfortable socially, can enter conversations easily, and are considered outgoing. Introverts are seen as being less open, quiet, often preferring their own company over being social.

However, there are lots of introverts who act like extroverts in order to collaborate, converse, and work or play in social situations.

Answer the following questions to help determine whether you are an introvert or extrovert.  For this exercise, you need to answer each question according to the one that is most like you.

   1. I can think things through from beginning to end
   2. I can bounce my ideas off of other people

   2. I learn, talk, and act them out with others
3. I feel really energetic when:
   1. I have had ample time to rest, read, or relax
   2. I am around my friends or colleagues
4. Meeting new people:
   1. Wears me out
   2. Is something I love to do
5. When I think of something new:
   1. I like to think about my ideas and make some decisions before looking for feedback
   2. I like to share my initial thoughts and get people’s feedback
6. After a productive day working with a team, I:
   1. Go home feeling worn out and in need of a rest
   2. Am full of energy and ready to do something else
7. I prefer solving problems by:
   1. Analyzing and working through them on my own
   2. Talking things over with people

Scoring

Total the number of A and B answers that you chose.

o   A answers = __________

o   B answers = __________

B responses represent extroverted tendencies. A responses represent introverted tendencies.

Now, place an X on the continuum where you feel it best represents you. If you have strong introverted tendencies then you will mark an X closer to the word “introverted” on the continuum. If you have strong extroverted tendencies, your X will appear closer to the word “extroverted” on the continuum. If you have a mix of preferences then your X will appear closer to the center point.

Albert,

Intrebarea  ta merita o dezbatere la care invit cat mai multi elevi.

Iata cateva lucruri la care ma gandesc in acest moment si care ar putea constitui un punct de plecare:

Francis Collins a fost Directorul Proiectului Internaţional al Genomului Uman.

La finalizarea cercetărilor (in 2003), Collins s-a aflat alături de preşedintele Bill Clinton de la Casa Albă, participând la festivităţi.

El a afirmat ca:

„Este o zi fericită pentru întreaga lume. Încerc un sentiment de umilinţă şi uimire la gândul că am fost primii care au aruncat o privire asupra propriului nostru manual de instrucţiuni, ştiut până acum numai de Dumnezeu“

si

“Ştiinţa este singura cale demnă de încredere pentru a înţelege lumea fizică, iar mijloacele ei, atunci când sunt folosite în mod corect, pot pătrunde în profunzimile existenţei materiale. Însă ştiinţa devine neputincioasă atunci când trebuie să răspundă la întrebări de felul: «De ce a luat fiinţă universul? Care este sensul existenţei omului? Ce se întâmplă după moarte?»“.

Iar presedintele american de atunci a spus :

„Astăzi învăţăm limba în care Dumnezeu a creat viaţa. Suntem cu atât mai copleşiţi de uimire şi veneraţie în faţa complexităţii, a frumuseţii şi a minunii darului celui mai sfânt şi dumnezeiesc al lui Dumnezeu“.

Va recomand sa cititi cartea lui Francis Collins, “The language of God” -pentru inceput

Va rugam sa ne trimiteti comentariile voastre.

Multumim.

Does God really exist?
