ENFP

I got profiled for my mom's old boss who used to do personality profiling for the CIA. He is now teaching a class on it at a university. He is a very interesting man and he profiled me as an ENFP:

ENFPs have a tendency to overextend themselves in both their physical and emotional commitments. Their proclivity to procrastinate and to overlook details complicates their circumstances. ENFPs often move on to new ventures without completing those they have already started. Their charming personalities can show signs of irritability and over-sensitivity when their desires to please different people come into conflict. During times of stress, ENFPs feel alienated. They then engage in deceptions that serve to obscure what is occurring within themselves.

The ENFP finds symbolic meanings behind the immediate circumstances. These meanings are construed as foreboding problems when ENFPs are under stress. Having a pervasive feeling of losing control over their own independent identities, ENFPs will feel virtually split apart by intruding circumstances. They will be "besides themselves" and "just not all there" — as if something, or someone, has taken away the essence of who they are. Not feeling like themselves, the ENFP will become subject to their own feelings of shame for being a phony, a fake or an impostor. If stress continues to grow, they may attribute malevolent schemes to others in order to explain away their fears.


Careers

This lists represent careers and jobs people of your type tend to enjoy doing. The job requirements are similar to the personality tendencies of your personality type. It is important to remember that this is not a list of all the jobs possible. And it is very important to remember that people can, and frequently do, fill jobs that are dissimilar to their personality... this happens all the time...and sometimes works out quite well.

Alanis Morissette - Not as we

I have always loved Alanis Morissette's voice and music. I actually got into a silly debate a few says ago that involved her, and I now admit I was wrong about it. I absolutely LOVE this song. This song hasn't been released yet, but it is simply amazing. The video is horrible, so don't watch, just listen.

I Am in Love With Boden




Most of you probably know about Boden, but I did not! I find it very similar to J Crew, and I want all of it!!

Free Puppies!!!

6 black lab puppies were found on the side of the road in Lexington, Kentucky last Friday. Every shelter in the area is full and has therefore turned them down. If they go to animal control, they said they have 5 days before they would be put down. If you know anyone who wants them please email danacomparetto@hotmail.com.

Places to Discover

I love to travel. If I could constantly travel discovering new places, it is safe to say that I would be immensely happy at all times. I am pretty sure that I am destined to be a travel writer, but I have no idea how to break into that profession...any ideas?



This amazing building was built for a wealthy family to live in!! It was modeled after a dragon. If you look closely, you can see it. The famous artist, Antoni Gaudi, was commissioned to design/build the Casa Batllo. If you are ever in Barcelona, Spain, I am thinking this should be a must-see for sure!

I Want!

I love love love the idea of reusable shopping bags. These from Baggu are $8 each and come in many colors: red, fuschia, khaki, olive, navy, black, grey and aqua!! Shipping is $3.50 no matter how many you buy, and they fold up and fit in a little pouch so that you may carry them around with you in your purse or pocket (depending on if you are a guy/girl). The only reason I haven't purchased some for myself yet is because I am scared that here in Kentucky, they will think I am stealing!! But, I am thinking I am going to have to try it soon with these!!
