We had two sessions of knowledge sharing today. The first was about discovering our personalities by Dinny. It took place in the library after the lunch. People tend to like this kind of sharing than the technical ones. So without doubt, most of us attended the session. I think there were more at least twenty people. Unfortunately the library room is so small we weren’t comfortable.
The session did well enough though. Dinny introduced the popular four kinds of temperaments (I’d rather call them personalities though): sanguine, choleric, melancholic, and phlegmatic. For your information, we had been asked to do a 40-questions test earlier. The answers were summarized based on certain formula to discover our personality types. The result showed a well balanced groups. We were almost evenly divided into four groups of the personalities. Of course noone had the pure personality types. All were hybrids but a personality generally dominated the others.
I had the purest personality type by the way. From the 40 questions, 32 proved that I was extremely choleric. 5 showed my sanguine side while only 3 told that I was melancholic. From the session, I knew that the choleric is extrovert, short-tempered, a born-leader, a doer, and perfectionist. Yeah it’s pretty much like me, I couldn’t deny it. Dinny also suggested that the cholerics should find the phlegmatics as their soulmates. It sounds sensible but I prefer the melancholic. I love the intellectuals.
The next session was Anton’s guide to creating a game with Macromedia Flash and ActionScript. Our knowledge sharings will be evaluated at the end of the year. The best will get a prize. Okay the prize is not the main concern here but I felt it was not fair enough for Anton since he was the newest employee yet he got his turn before the formers. Personally I don’t think his performance satisfying today. He couldn’t explain well and clearly to us. Maybe he was nervous. Maybe he didn’t even know that most of us had no computing background. Too bad, maybe I should inform him before to avoid using highly technical terms. I decided to leave the session earlier since I couldn’t hold my tounge that always tried to take over his session. Hehehe truly I am a choleric.
