Me and My Church

Wow! Thank God for keeping me faithful to my church. :)

Thank you, Bee, for completing the Me and My Church test. The analysis of your response is as follows:

Factors

46 out of 60

Conclusions:

Looking at how you scored ...

Score 6-20 Perhaps some serious heart-searching and consideration is required to consider why there seems to be a significant lack of being 'connected' to your local body of believers.

Score 21-45 In the middle ground. Are there aspects of your involvement that need prayerful consideration and perhaps some discussion with those in leadership?

Score 45-60 We think you should be encouraged.

Consider

"Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it." [1 Cor 12:27]

"Most Christians want all of the privileges and none of the responsibilities."
George Verwer

Career Check Up

This test is something new and interesting. It makes me ponder over my current career. You may like to try it and share with me your result. Mine is below:

Thank you, Bee, for completing the Career Check up test. The analysis of your response is as follows:

Statements

89 out of 100

Career Check up

See below to see what your score might imply.

25-60: Your job brings you very little job satisfaction and may even be causing you a sense of emotional, psychological and/or physical pain. You may find that it affects your self-esteem, your relationships and your spiritual life. Your health and general sense of well-being could well depend on your making some changes in your work situation!

61-70: Your feelings about your job may fluctuate between dissatisfaction and toleration, but you do not feel deeply excited or enthusiastic about your job. For the most part, your work does not bring you a sense of enjoyment or fulfilment.

71-89: Right now work may be satisfying, overall. There may be, however, one or more key components that you rated low that are motivating you to consider other job or career options.

90-100: If work "feels good," you are most likely in a job that is a good match. If, however, your job doesn't feel quite right for you, there may be some key satisfaction factors that are not being met and would be worthwhile to explore. Perhaps God has something better in store for you!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, what does it mean?

Perhaps if your score indicates a level of uncertainty and dissatisfaction it would be good to spend time reflecting on why this is the case. Sometimes God does allow unsettling experiences to give us a gentle 'nudge' into something new. At other times the root may simply be in our attitude to the job rather than the job itself.

God wants us to be fulfilled in living out our lives in line with his plans and utilising the gifts we have. If you are unsure that you are in the place of God's choice, or he may be 'nudging' you towards some area of Christian service, why not consider the designate programme offered by CV. Examine your gifts. Reflect on what the bible has to say about vocation, gifts and service.

What Job Suits Me?

My career is taking a different form ever since I left my previous job last month. I have been doing lots of research, reading up lots of info from books and internet, and also seek godly counsels from people who are familiar with what I am about to embark into. When God closed one door, He opened so many that I don't know which one to choose. *eyes rolling* I need to prayerfully bring them to God to guide me to the right one.

While surfing the net I came across a site Releasing God's People Into God's Work. I did my first test and got my result below. Maybe God is preparing for mission work? You may like to try the test yourself and share with me your result.

Mental Exercises

I am still on MC today. I still can think and talk, but can't eat well. My gum's swelling is getting bigger by the days.

Anyway, I saw the tests posted by someone at his blog and thought of doing some mental exercises so I won't feel too much pain. You may like to try them for fun too... Don't forget to tell me your results, ok? :)

Friend A is better than me in his score for the first 2 tests... he is good la.

What's Your IQ?

Congratulations, Bee!
Your IQ score is 127

This number is based on a scientific formula that compares how many questions you answered correctly on the Classic IQ Test relative to others.

Your Intellectual Type is Word Warrior. This means you have exceptional verbal skills. You can easily make sense of complex issues and take an unusually creative approach to solving problems. Your strengths also make you a visionary. Even without trying you're able to come up with lots of new and creative ideas. And that's just a small part of what we know about you from your test results.


2. International High IQ Society Test (click image to enlarge)



This is a very tough test with timing for each question. Oh, I can't join the International High IQ Society, but it's ok. At least I am not that stupid. :P I fair badly for the general knowledge section I guess. You must be an all rounder of everything to score well.

Bee's Thought

I am quite surprised by the above EQ test result as I always feel I have very low EQ. I am very poor at reading in-between-the-lines or interpret ambiguous statements. I need people to be direct with me rather than beat around the bush. I also tend to speak frankly from my heart most of the times. I don't know how to be sarcastic even if I want to. :P

But I guess I have changed over the years to become more sympathetic towards others and be more sensitive to people's feelings. God has transformed me by renewing my mind like what I wrote at my devotion blog, A Transformed Mind.

Can You 'Tahan' Me?

I have been very busy the last two months and have no time to think about myself or reflect on what others say. I seem to lose touch with my own emotions... no time to feel too much. Maybe that's good?

Well, now that I can spare some time I just want to do some reflections...

1. Who Am I?

See my Me Me post.


2. Why do some people like/love me?

Someone who knows me for 2 years said recently:

wat is it i love abt u?
- ur personality
- ur sharp features
- ur smile
actually peronality is quite broad... covers quite a few things
- ur firmness
- ur gentleness
- u r smart, can commnicate on the same wave length
- ur imagination
- u r a decent gal, a good gal
- i also like it dat u like children
- i also like it dat u are attracted to the simple things in life
- i also like it dat u see things beyond the surface
- and ur love for god too...
i think if there's one person who can make me love and understand god better it's gotta be u

3. What do people close to me dislike about me yet still can tahan (tolerate or live with it)?

- bossy (assertive? dominating?)
- stubborn (firm? persistent?)
- serious (slow in understanding jokes?)
- 'home improvement' tendency (over-helpful?)
- late for appointments (less than half an hour... hehe, never late for work though)

(Hmmn... really can tahan? =P)

My Handwriting

Yesterday, somebody who saw my handwriting for the first time said it is 'ugly'... haha... I do agree. Sometimes I think it's like doctor's handwriting when I am in a hurry. The only time my handwritting looks nice is when I write on the whiteboard, especially when I am teaching children. :P

Ok, see for yourself how 'horrible' it can be when I have to write with a mouse...


What does your handwriting say about YOU?

The results of your analysis say:

You plan ahead, and are interested in beauty, design, outward appearance, and symmetry.
You are a shy, idealistic person who does not find it easy to have relationships, especially intimate ones.
You are diplomatic, objective, and live in the present.
You are a talkative person, maybe even a busybody!
You enjoy life in your own way and do not depend on the opinions of others.


Hmmn.... me 'talkative'? I wish I am. And well, I do get affected by the opinions of those close to me.

Don't know your religion?

A friend email me the following test, so I just took it for fun although I already know my belief. The result confirms it. :)



Even if YOU don't know what faith you are, Belief-O-Matic™ knows. Answer 20 questions about your concept of God, the afterlife, human nature, and more, and Belief-O-Matic™ will tell you what religion (if any) you practice...or ought to consider practicing.



Bee's Results:

The top score on the list below represents the faith that Belief-O-Matic, in its less than infinite wisdom, thinks most closely matches your beliefs. However, even a score of 100% does not mean that your views are all shared by this faith, or vice versa.

Belief-O-Matic then lists another 26 faiths in order of how much they have in common with your professed beliefs. The higher a faith appears on this list, the more closely it aligns with your thinking.


1. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (100%)
2. Orthodox Quaker (97%)
3. Seventh Day Adventist (93%)
4. Eastern Orthodox (80%)
5. Roman Catholic (80%)
6. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (72%)
7. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (59%)
8. Liberal Quakers (52%)
9. Jehovah's Witness (51%)
10. Hinduism (49%)

12. Unitarian Universalism (46%)
13. Islam (46%)
14. Jainism (39%)
15. Mahayana Buddhism (37%)

25. Taoism (22%)

Which Emoticon Are You?

My laptop still has the same problem on and off. The repair cost by HP will be too expensive (min $400) so I don't think I will send my laptop there for repair. Friend D suggested I use a new keyboard instead. Hmmn, I will try it out soon and hopefully it helps.

Somehow I felt quite disturbed emotionally since coming home... wish I could have a shoulder to cry on...

To distract myself I tried the Tickle Test but was quite surprised by the result below... Anyway, I need to start practising sleeping early from now onward. Goodnight!

Which Emoticon Are You?

bee, the emoticon that represents you best is the Smiling Face

What's up, smiley? Somehow you just always seem to find a way to turn that frown upside down. Your upbeat attitude and friendly demeanor brighten up any room, including your favorite chat room.

Like your classic emoticon counterpart, you're a staple on anyone's list. Boring days and sleepless nights are far more bearable when you're online to chat. Whether you're shooting the breeze, catching up, or giving out advice, you can cheer up anyone on the other side of the conversation. So keep lightening the mood, making new friends, and bringing smiles to other folks' faces. After all, it's just so natural for you!
