Paying for University

1. No
2. I don't really spend money.
3. No
4. I think that I am paying for most of my post secondary education.
5. I think that I will probably live away from home, but hopefully close enough not to need a car.
6. Hopefully if I make enough money.
7. I think that I will qualify.
8.  If I need a loan I will probably go to the bank as my parents charge ridiculous interest fees.

University and Colleges

I may like Engineering Physics. This course starts out in first year talking about advanced math and physics. Then in the second year you chose from the different engineering disciplines and focus specifically on one. Another program that I may like to go into is mechanical engineering. This course is a course that takes place after the general engineering course. Both these courses are offered at University of BC. There is a better mechanical engineering program at Waterloo where I would like to attend. I may also want go to into civil engineering and there is a civil engineering course at Waterloo. Another course that I would like to take is Medieval Studies at Queens. Simon Fraser University offers a course on physics that I am interested in.The final course that I am interested in is the Accounting program at Dalhousie in Halifax.

So the Universities that I am interested in going to are University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, Queens University, University of Waterloo, or Dalhousie in Nova Scotia.

After High School

1. I think that my parents and relatives won't really like it if  I take the year off. Some of my cousins have done this, then it seems to stretch from one year to like three. I think that they would want me to go right away.
2. I think that most people who know me expect me to go to university. They want me to go there and they expect me to.
3. I think that my parents would support me, but they would encourage me to reach the highest level of my potential and go to university.
4. I think that my parents would be ok if I went to collage. The would probably want me to go to university though.
5. My family might support me if I entered the mission field, but they would probably advise me to get a education first, and they would probably say that I have skills better suited for other areas.
6. People I know would definitely discourage me from getting an entry level job. I have the ability to get a good education, so they would want me to to try to get a better job.
7. My family would encourage me to volunteer in my free time, but not as a full time thing. Everyone would encourage to get a job to support myself.
8. My family would support the move to a bible collage, but they may suggest a different area of study as I am not as gifted in certain areas that are good for bible college.

Future Job

My top jobs were
1. chemical engineer
2. aerospace engineer
3. Mechanical engineer
4. Chemist
5. Physicist

2. I agree with the results because I am interested in math and am pretty good at it.

3. I am excited to see engineer on the list because that is what I want to do.

4.  I am not surprised to see any of these things on the list.

Last Post

1. I found it helpful to know about how to have a growth mindset, and how situations can affect how successful a person is.

2. It taught me that I can improve in any area, as long as I think I can. Also improving in on area can affect how you develop in an other area. Such as the chess master who learned martial arts.

3. It taught me that other people's brains are different than mine and learn and develop differently. It also taught me that people that seem to not be successful, just might be those who are most successful. People might not learn, not because they can't, but because they don't think they can.

4. They ask a limited number of questions, so they don't know how the person will respond in all situations. Also people may think that they will react in one way, but in real life they react totally differently. Also people don't nicely fit into different categories, they are a combination of many different parts, so these test can't accurately define people.

5. People may start to think that one result of this test is better than an other so they believe that some people are better than others. Also people may think that they can't change and are stuck the way these test defined them. This isn't true.

Personality Test

1. My natural energy orientation is 56% introvert. After spending several hours with a group of people, I like to have some time alone, away from socializing.
2. I was 25% sensing. I have a pretty good memory and I can remember events fairly well.
3. I am 88% thinking. An example is that I try to make my choices based on what is better, based on facts.
4. I was 100% judging. It makes me really stressed out if I fall behind on deadlines.

Success

1. An outlier is someone who is someone is someone who is very successful, much more than the average person.
2. I think it is some of both. People in good situations may not succeed because they don't have drive and don't have talent. People with talent and drive may not succeed because they don't have the opportunities.
3. I think that this smart guy that had a rough life, so he didn't succeed. I also think that for all his knowledge, he could make more money. If he was so smart he wouldn't try to prove God. This isn't going to be popular and probably won't make money. Also I don't think that it is Biblical to prove God. If we know for sure then there is no faith.
4. My ability to play my music, I see as fixed.
5. I think that I have a growth mindset is my ability to drive. When I first learned to drive a dirt bike, it didn't have a clutch, then I learned. I believe that I can become a good driver, even though I don't have that much experience right know.
