Welcome back! This week I will take a series of tests that will determine my personality type. I generally don't think that these tests are accurate but we'll see how this one goes. The first test I took was the Jung personality test.  It stated I classifies as an ENTJ which stands for  Extraverted Intuitive Thinking Judging.  This means that I apparently don't stress over simple things that a typical human being would.  For example if someone prefers to sit next to the window seat, i would let them have it. Simple things like that is what defines the ENTJ.  Although this is what i got on my test, I don't completely agree because little things like that bother me which is why I am not a ENTJ. The next test i took was called the hopeless romantic test.  This was meant to show me if i am looking for a relationship, and if I was going to find one that is long lasting. The test showed that I am pretty hopeless and I had a small chance of actually find...

Hey guys I'm back! While surfing the internet I encountered an article that stated your sense of sound actually affected the way that the food may taste.  This really caught my eye, how could sound possibly be related to the way your tongue perceives the food to be.  Professor Charles Spence at the university of Oxford was pondering why the pringle he was eating seemed to be less tasty then the previous one he had just eaten. it wasn't the salt or the was cooked, it was something that he hadn't yet wrapped his mind around.  It finally came to his head that maybe the other senses were altering his sense of taste.  When he got back to the lab he conducted an experiment where the subjects would eat pringles with a headset on.  Spence would increase and decrease the sound of the crunch which would seem to alter the test subjects opinion on the taste of the chip.  The professor finally came to the conclusion that the human brain is expecting a crunch because i...

Hey guys welcome back! This week I will be sharing with you all the milestones of my past, and my hopes and predications of the future. I was born in Frankfort, Kentucky where I spent almost three years of my life thriving as a child.  I always had an optimistic attitude towards life, although I had been diagnosed with severe eczema.  Every night I would have socks on my hands and feet to prevent myself from tearing my skin up.  This eventually faded away as I got older which was a huge feat.  At the astounding age of one I had spoken my first word "ball" and continued to form sentences from there.  However, I started walking late, around the time I was sixteen months.  my family then moved down to Amarillo where I was put into a catholic school to start elementary. Eventually we made our way to Houston, Texas because of my dads job.  I then went to cornerstone elementary and proceeded to go to Sartartia middle school.  Soon after that I made th...

Hey guys, welcome back! Because I was born on August 21, I have gotten the brain part Motor cortex, and the neurotransmitter Substance p.  The motor cortex is responsible for planning, control, and the execution of voluntary movements.  Substance p oversees the pain signals from the sensory nerves that transmit to the central nervous system.  Taking all this information into account, I have created the hero named Autonomy Ache.  Autonomy Ache was gifted the powers of controlling other peoples voluntary movements, and stopping pain that others are dreading Autonomy Ache had a very challenging life.  Growing up, he was a lot more vulnerable to pain, and he could rarely control his actions.  He had symptoms of Tourette's syndrome, meaning he would involuntary move and make noises which he wound to be very embarrassing.  After his father passed away, he neighbor sent him off to a private camp in which it would supposedly strengthen him both menta...

I am usually told that my memory is definitely on the lower end of the spectrum, of which I do not object.  Ever since I was a kid my ,long term memory especially, has been inferior to the other kids.  this week I took a couple memory test to establish if my memory really is what people perceive it too be. Test #1: This test consisted of memorizing a couple words and then you must recall them right after viewing them.  I did well on this test which I wasn't too surprised because the test was rather easy although I did not get a one hundred.  I do not feel like this test was very valid because it says glance at the words briefly, and some people could've done better than other simply because of the amount of time they spent looking at the words Test #2: During this one I wasn't quite sure if the website was registering my response to the pictures, which I think may have altered my results, but I did relatively well with the score of eighty eight percent.  Thi...
