Used in a sentence: "After seeing it in the Sunday paper, I decided to take the 'time orientation' quiz ... as it is supposedly connected to my financial health ... and it turns out I'm a 'present fatalist'."
Maybe. I mean it was less than two dozen questions that led the little online quiz widget to draw this conclusion ... so I'm left to wonder if maybe a more exhaustive collection of questions would lead to the same result.
What I like, though, is it has turned me on to a whole new classification system (this on the heels of just completing some strengths-finders analysis at work [4 of my 5 are in the strategic category ... including the one that encourages you to be an intellectual hoarder] and after a long ago dip into MyersBriggs for some personality typing [I *think* I might be an INTJ ... or, I *think* I might have been an INTJ once upn a time?]).
And, after all, who doesn't like an opportunity to talk/think/write/post about oneself (exhibit A ... this blog, and its double publishing to a captive audience on the Facebook) ... even if that analysis does doom me to a life lived in debt, over which I feel powerless to take action (which one is the happy category in this anaylsis?) ...
I'M POWERLESS TO CHANGE (MAYBE):
