This is how I see your type answer questions in an interview; Interviewer: thenson, Tell us about yourself? thenson: I am a good man always. Interviewer: What are your biggest weaknesses? thenson: I can’t concentrate for more than five minutes, I hate all forms of authority and tend to fall asleep at my desk.(or you say I don’t have any). Interviewer: How do you get along with others? thenson: Fine, as long as they stay out of my face. Interviewer: What does the word success mean to you? thenson: It means that I don’t have to drag my sorry $ss out of bed to kiss yours. Interviewer:Do you get along with your current boss? thenson: I get along fine, considering what kind of a malicious person he is. Interviewer:Do you ever get angry with co-workers? thenson: I don’t get angry, I get even. Interviewer:How do you handle change? thenson: I deal with it everyday, unless I’m out of clean underwear. And many weird answers when an online Myers test would have told you- " Your personality is ISFP. You are modest about your abilities, you usually do not care to lead but are often a loyal follower, and always relaxed about getting things done because you enjoy the present moment and do not want to spoil it by undue haste". Good luck.

You just gave me a great idea. Instead of calling it studying, I will call it “the party.” Person: Hey man - you want to do XX on Sat? Me: No - I can’t I have to keep “the party going” Person: Well what about next week? Me: Yeah, sounds like fun, but “the party” keeps going till June. Great times.
Not everything covered by the CFA exam is enjoyable. I find some topics extremely exciting and some are just downright painful to even look at. Just gotta fight through the pain, bro. The job market sucks right now but it will bounce back. In fact, good money managers are extremely rare and I don’t think the demand for their skills will ever go away.
I think you should quit right now. The one thing I love about the severity of this recession is all the jerks that were in finance for the $$ are leaving. Finally I get to work with people that actually enjoy the problems in and of themselves. Adios putos is what I have to say …
I say, do whenever you want. It is all up to you…If you don’t feel like doing, don’t do it. If you just try to do it when you are not ready, you will end up wasting your time, energy, money and friendship/relationship. What a waste!
motivation is like p***s; needs stimulation if it is to grow bigger

Ha, that’s pretty funny, and some parts are pretty accurate. Did you get all of that out of my two posts? The only part that I’m definitely not is the passive aggressive side “fine as long as they stay out of my face” - or at least so I’d like to think. I’m sure there’s some pretty good science behind it but at the same time it seems rather similar to astrological signs - general enough that it seems mostly accurate to everyone. Either way, it made for a good read. Good luck to you too
Astrological signs are random. I don’t go by them either. Your Meyers-Briggs result are based on how you personaly answer 100+ or so questions about how you think, relate to things, take action, react to feelings/facts…so on. 2 Samples: I’m a proud ENTP The Visionary Extroverted iNtuitive Thinking Perceiving Creative, resourceful, and intellectually quick.
