Week 7: The anything blog

Hi friends,
     Today I am going to talk about an important and inevitable part of our life- sleep. This is something most of the students in high school lack. There are many health problems associated with sleep. Sleep disorders affect a lot of people  — up to 20 percent of Americans in any given year suffer from a sleep problem, according to the National Institutes of Health. Many people who suffer from problems sleeping don’t even realize it. They may walk through the day feeling a little tired, unfocused, and unable to get started. These disorders and the resulting sleep deprivation interfere with work, driving, and social activities. The most common sleep disorders include insomnia, sleep apnea, daytime sleepiness, restless legs syndrome, and narcolepsy.

Sleep is necessary for our nervous systems to work properly. Too little sleep leaves us drowsy and unable to concentrate the next day. It also leads to impaired memory and physical performance and reduced ability to carry out math calculations. If sleep deprivation continues, hallucinations and mood swings may develop. To perform well in academics and other activities, everyone needs enough sleep. The amount of sleep each person needs depends on many factors, including age. Infants generally require about 16 hours a day, while teenagers need about 9 hours on average. For most adults, 7 to 8 hours a night appears to be the best amount of sleep, although some people may need as few as 5 hours or as many as 10 hours of sleep each day.  

      So friends, get enough sleep and be healthy.

Week 6: Personality Tests

Hi friends,
     Today I am going to do some personality tests and see what my thoughts and actions reveal about me. Let's start! 

• First I am going to do the Jung Typology Test. This test asks about how I would respond or what choice I would take in specific situations. The results turn out to be that I'm an ESFP. This test is somewhat accurate and I cannot completely deny the results. I think that I am good at perceiving than judging. Also, I always express my emotions and have sympathy for the less fortunate people.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           ESFP

Extravert(16%)  Sensing(6%)  Feeling(31%)  Perceiving(22%)

• You have slight preference of Extraversion over Introversion (16%)
• You have slight preference of Sensing over Intuition (6%)
• You have moderate preference of Feeling over Thinking (31%)
• You have slight preference of Perceiving over Judging (22%)

• Next, I took the Attraction test. It showed the pictures of 50 men and asked to rate e how attractive they are on a scale from 1 to 10. Then it gave a summary of what qualities I like in men. It said that I prefer men that are intelligent, cheerful, modest and trendy. The results were pretty accurate because I like intelligent and happy people. But I think we cannot understand our preferences only by just rating 50 men.

• Next, I took the emotional IQ test. It also asked some questions like how would I react to certain emotions and asked to rate these responses and how would I respond from 1-5. The results said that my emotional IQ is in the average range. I am able to recognize and deal with my own emotions and those of the others in a reasonably effective manner. I think that an analysis from a test with certain questions determines the IQ of a person. These tests are just there to give an idea of what our personality may be like.
• Then I took the Happiness Test. The results said I am the type of person who believes in the goodness of humankind. And I give nearly everyone the benefit of doubt and will often accept what people say and do at face value. The results shocked me because it was pretty accurate. I trust people so quickly and always believe what people say. This was a good test.
• The next one is Extroversion Introversion Test. It mostly asked about how and with whom I spend time and what I do with them etc. The test I am slightly an extrovert and like to socialize with both small and large groups. Also, it said I 've managed to strike a great balance between actively involving myself in my social network and spending some quality time with a few intimate friends.  I think this test was not that bad. It showed me some aspects of my personality that I never noticed

These tests were pretty fun and I enjoyed analyzing my personality. Here is an article about how your personality affects your health: https://health.usnews.com/health-news/family-health/heart/articles/2010/09/22/how-your-personality-affects-your-health
