Passion Project Update

I have had 8 days so far for my passion project, and yet I was barely able to do anything at school. Many of the sites that I need to visit to learn about my topic (Stealth Tech.) are blocked by the school. However, I have done a lot of my project at home on my free time. I so far have discovered and explained how the tech works, who discovered it, what types of planes use it, who makes it, and I have also gone into detail about each of the stealth planes. So far I have researched the F-117 stealth Fighter, B-2 Stealth Bomber, and the new stealth plane that will replace all the other regular fighters; the F-35. I have also contacted the military base and am going to contact Lockheed-Martin about going on a tour, but I do not have an answer if I will get one from the military base and I am trying to find contact info for one of the nearby Lockheed offices. So far I am very pleased with  how my project is progressing. I have so far accomplished my goals, and since I have, I am trying to expand them by trying to get the class the ability to go on a trip to Lockheed.

Some upcoming problems:

  1. lack of access to sites at school
  2. finding the right contact info foe Lockheed
  3. determining if the military base will let us take a tour

Myers-Brigs Test

Recently my class took a Myers-Brigs personality test, which is a test to show what type of a person you are. It will tell you if you are driven by feeling, by fact, if you are very social, ect. This is an incredibly accurate test and many famous people have taken this test. My personal type is ESTJ, which means I am Practical, realistic, matter-of-fact. Decisive, quickly move to implement decisions.
This test has told me a lot about myself. It has confirmed that I am realistic and decisive. It has also showed me that there are lots and lots of different people out there. In our class, many people found themselves getting the same personality as other students. This was to be expected, I suppose  because many of us think alike and have similar personalities. Even more impressive, no one said that their result didn't match up with who they were. I ask that whoever is reading this post takes the test and decides for themselves if it is accurate.
As an interesting side note, Some other famous and infamous ESTJs include: Henry Ford, Condoleezza Rice, Dr. Phil, Martha Stewart, Bill O'Reilly, St Paul, Tom Clancy, and Saddam Hussein.
