Hmm… Strange happenings. My friend was just griping that she wanted to quit her job, so I was just going to ask her to list her strengths and weaknesses so that we could see what job she’s suitable for.

Anyway, Tickle is offering a free True Talent Test until 1 April 2007 to measure your skills on five distinct talents: abstract reasoning, numerical
ability, verbal ability, spatial ability, and mechanical ability and to offer a list of potential careers for you based on your career talent scores. Check it out here: True Talent Test

Kevin, your primary career talent is Verbal Ability.

You have a way with words. Although most of us take for granted that we
can use our native language, you seem to know how to pick the right
words for almost any occasion. This ability to comprehend information
and be articulate in your speaking or writing is no small feat.
Moreover, you appear to understand the power and aesthetic appeal
behind language. This knowledge can make you versatile in expressing
yourself with either flowery or direct communication as the situation
demands. You’re the kind of person that friends would want to make that
special wedding toast or farewell speech. And if you’re terrified of
public speaking, they’d at least want you to write it.

Reading between the lines to pick up on the subtle meanings behind what
people say and write can also be part of your repertoire. With your
gift for decoding language’s complexities, you can be both a great
meeting facilitator and a conflict negotiator. In addition to these
strengths, you may have the knack for mixing old-fashioned terms with
the latest lingo in ways that keep people interested in not only what
you say but also how you say it. This kind of creativity and ability to
focus language into top-notch communication can make you a valuable
asset in a variety of business settings.

Your secondary career talent is Spatial Ability.

The ability to visualize objects in three-dimensional space can give
you an unusual view of the world. You appear to understand how figures
can be manipulated and take on new forms. Because of this talent, you
can probably imagine new designs easily, including anything from floor
plans to page layouts — and even 3D product prototypes. People like you
are usually aces when it comes to putting together assemble-it-yourself
furniture or other household items — whether the items arrive with
instructions or not.

Your rare talent can make you less likely than most people to be
content with the same old thing. As a result, in your work life you
might enjoy focusing on visual innovation and proposing new ideas. Your
ability to conceptualize objects in their completed form can make you a
natural designer or engineer. Your spatial skills can also help you
understand the finer points of how things work. Typically, new computer
programs or specialized office equipment are no sweat to you. In a
world where technology changes so rapidly, you may also find yourself
rewarded for your ability to adapt.

After examining your different aptitudes, Tickle came up with a list of
potential careers for you based on your career talent scores. Given
that your highest aptitude is Verbal Ability,
we’ve come up with a list of jobs requiring that particular talent.
We’ve also highlighted a few careers within the list, indicating that
those careers require high organizational skills. Of course, all
careers require organization. But in some professions, it’s especially
critical that you be a super-organized type of person.

requiring high organization

var i = 0; var bgc=’a'; var joblist = new Array(); joblist = [['Actor','0'], ['Advertising executive','0'], ['Author','0'], ['Book critic','0'], ['Editor','1'], ['Journalist','0'], ['Lawyer','0'], ['Linguist','0'], ['Marketing director','0'], ['Occupational psychologist','0'], ['Public relations director ','1'], ['Sales Agent','0'], ['Science writer ','0'], ['Teacher','0'], ['Television or radio announcer','0'], ['Translator','0']]; var offset=8; for (i=0;i<offset;i++){ if ((i%2)==0){bgc=’EFF8E0′;} else {bgc=’E6F2D0′;} document.write(’ ‘); document.write(’ ‘); if (i!=(offset-1)){ document.write(’ ‘); } } ‘+joblist[i][0]+’ ‘+joblist[i+8][0]+’ Actor Marketing director Advertising executive Occupational psychologist Author Public relations director Book critic Sales Agent Editor Science writer Journalist Teacher Lawyer Television or radio announcer Linguist Translator

Although these jobs may look different from one another at
first glance, the thing they have in common is that all of them require
the particular career talent you possess.

Something amazing guys! Just 2 days ago I was sharing with my Primary 5 Sunday School class about the difference between the 2 hemispheres of our brains (right cT?). I explained how we utilise each hemisphere more for certain activities and how I believe that what the Bible refers to the mind is actually the left hemisphere, and what the Bible refers to the heart is actually the right hemisphere. And guess what? Tickle is offering a free comprehensive test that tells you which side of your brain you favor, and how to train your weaker brain
hemisphere to process information better and faster. The full results even give you a blow-by-blow interpretation of the way you answered each question. It even tells you the best or most predominant way you pick up information or learn. The free full results will only be open till 25 March 07, so what are you waiting for?

http://web.tickle.com/tests/brain/index_main.jsp

Here’s a preview of my results:

You have a balanced brain — able to draw on the strengths
of both the right and left hemispheres depending on context. Typically, people
with balanced right and left hemispheres are very comfortable with switching
between local and global perspectives — that is, paying attention to both small
details and larger issues when the circumstance indicates. That means they can
identify elements that make up an image or situation and also attend to the
larger, more holistic pattern or unified whole that those details comprise.

You are able to capitalize on the left hemisphere’s skills in verbal
communication as well on the right hemisphere’s focus on patterns and
association making. This rare combination makes you a very creative and flexible
thinker. While many people have clearly dominant left- or
right-brained tendencies, you are able to draw on skills from both hemispheres
of your brain. This rare combination makes you a very creative and flexible
thinker.

Depending on the situation, you may rely on one hemisphere or
the other. Some situations may lend themselves to using your right brain’s
creativity and flexibility while other situations may call for a more structured
approach as dictated by your left brain.

When you need to explain a complicated process to someone, or plan a detailed
vacation, the left hemisphere of your brain, which is responsible for your
ability to solve problems logically, might kick in. But if you were critiquing
an art opening or coming up with an original way to file papers, the right side
of your brain, which is responsible for noticing subtle details in things, might
take over.

The down side to being balanced-brained is that you may
sometimes feel paralyzed by indecision when the two hemispheres of your brain
are competing to solve a problem in their own unique ways.

That’s how your brain processes
information. And while your dominant brain hemisphere certainly contributes to
the way you process information, there is also a style of learning,
unrelated to your dominant hemisphere, that determines the ways in which you are
best able to pick up information. When you’re learning something new, your
dominant brain hemisphere will want to take over. But there are times when the
information being presented is not well suited to your dominant hemisphere’s
abilities.

That’s why, in addition to your hemispheric dominance, you
also have a style of learning that is dominant for you. Whether you know it or
not, you are naturally predisposed to learning things visually, aurally, or
through a combination of the two.

Your test results show that you are an
auditory learner.

Other balanced-brained people who are auditory
learners are pop singer Madonna, classical composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and
comedian and actor Robin Williams.

Go get your free 5-Factor Personality Report at Tickle.com. The comprehensive test with result is free until 18/3/07.
The questions you answered on the test measured your scores on 5 overarching personality qualities, or factors,
as well as the 30 specific personality traits that make up those 5
factors. We then compared all of your scores to the thousands of other
people who have taken this test to determine what sets you apart from
the crowd.

What are these "5 Factors?"
What do the five factors represent?  The easiest way to remember them is to use the acronym "OCEAN," which stands for

O: Openness to experience
C: Conscientiousness
E: Extraversion
A: Agreeableness
N: Negative emotionality

These five factors have been studied for decades and make up the most
widely accepted theoretical model for understanding personality. You
have a score along each of these five dimensions — one per letter.

You believe that people are inherently good and tend to listen to your
heart in important matters. You are gentle and have a sincere desire to
help and trust others. You are straightforward but don’t tend to brag
about yourself or your lot in life. You’re amenable to people’s
suggestions, and you are good at helping people realize their own
talents, which only makes people like you more. Compared to others who
are agreeable, you

Tickle.com is offering not just free Enneagram Tests (the tests are always free but you’ve got to pay for the results), but also a comprehensive report (for a limited time only!). So if you’ve always wanted to find out your personality type go to:

What about me? Well turns out:

       
      
      

Friends, family, and colleagues probably appreciate your caring and
generous nature. They’re also apt to know that when they come to you
with a problem, you’ll usually offer a shoulder to cry on and
unparalleled compassion. As a Humanitarian, you’re likely to be seen as
a loving and helpful person with a kind heart.

Being a member of this type puts you in good company. Mother Teresa,
with her tireless devotion to aid the sick and destitute members of
society, and Bishop Desmond Tutu, with his emphasis on nonviolent
protest against racial injustices, are also Type 2s

This means that compared to the eight other Enneagram types, you have a
strong sense of empathy for other people. In fact, you’re the kind of
warm, sincere person who can be uniquely capable of seeing the good in
others.

P.S.: I can’t believe it’s me, hahah. I swear I took the test honestly, but I still don’t believe it. Must be the Jesus in me…

A film I highly recommend is Blood Diamond. It’s not a great movie, but to me, it was important, not because of it subject matter: conflict diamonds. It’s not great because of the cast, or the action, or the script, but to me watching it was like watching an allegory of the Father’s love for His confused and brainwashed children, stolen from Him by the devil.

There were many scenes of Solomon Vandy’s passionate love for his family, in particular his son Dia. The scene in the prison when he stripped down and barks back at Captain Poison that he has taken everything from Solomon, and even now wants to take a stone which he does not have on him.

2 scenes when Solomon walks into the R.U.F base to try and locate and rescue his son. Even getting into a fight when his partner, Danny Archer, tries to dissuade him from his suicidal mission.

A scene when Solomon spoke to his son, reminding him of his past life with his family. He continues to reaffirm his son’s identity as his son, nothing more and nothing less. He spoke of a promise of things that would be again; just right for them and the whole family to live together again. Of the way things were and will yet be again.

Throughout the film, Solomon often speaks of his dream for his son to be a doctor, a constant affirmation of the destiny he has for his son.

Many times we wonder what God is doing, many things we don’t understand or grasp. We think God must be absent or sleeping. But know this: that God is passionate in His desire and love for you, He chases you with all He’s got. He stripped down to become a man to come to you and He has a destiny in mind for you. He has a custom-made promise for you, an eternal rest, a heaven that is just right for you, your home forever… with Him. His thoughts are forever about you, and He won’t stop until you choose: to be with Him or not. In truth, our identity is not based on anything we have on this Earth, not our family, not our friends, not our wealth, not our body, not our possessions, not our charitable deeds, because we cannot take any of these things with us when we die. Our only hope is our identity in Christ: as God’s adopted sons and daughters. If God is truly God, He owns everything in the entire realms of existence and we cannot give Him anything. The only thing He does not yet possess, but the only thing He desires is You: your heart given to Him, willingly and of our own sincere free will, that you may live with Him as a family once more in His house.

John 14:1 - 3 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am."

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand
slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but
everyone to come to repentance.

Come down to Bethesda Cathedral this Friday at 7pm for a buffet dinner and Christmas performance!!! There’ll be singing, dancing, caroling, etc. E-mail me at kevinong_ss@yahoo.com for tickets. Merry Christmas!
