My blog does not represent the views of Murdoch or any of its affiliates. All posts are NOT to be taken seriously and are written only for entertainment purposes.
So I took this little test here to see what type of thinker I am, where's me brain at (Well at the moment off cause I've finished exams... More on that later.) and the email it spat back (Hey, no one was thinking and read my answers, sorry it's a computer program that just works with USE-CASE statements... Ignore the man behind the curtain, it's just code.) Said something along the lines of:
You're a visionary thinker - and an eternal optimist. You have a talent for finding opportunities in everything.
You're driven by the promise of leading the world to a brighter future and believe that by exploring different and original ways of thinking, you can make the seemingly impossible happen.
With your compassionate thinking style, you might like to use our course browse tool to find courses based around these personality traits:
- Creative and artistic
- Analytical and scientific
Actually, it said exactly that, cause that's a copy and I haven't even changed the font or removed the hyperlink. I find several interesting things here before I discuss what this email says to me, what 'Visionary means to me, some talk about exams and the future of this blog. 1stly, there's a comparision put online comparing the different fields of study for what results they have (Such as Law, Business or Environmental Studies.) From their tally ALL SCHOOLS EXCEPT I.T. are dominantly compassionate.
I've got to choke back a giggle here. Seriously? 99% of the world CARES ABOUT OTHERS?! Okay, so Compassion was my second highest but out of the averages for IT, Compassion was last... Coders who had users who don't know what their requirements are other than "Easy to use", IT help desk people who have eaten their headsets because of people who JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT...
Okay, I'm going to stop right there before this gets ugly with lots of profanity in l33t.
Whoa... Analytical AND Creative... Hmmm. Bet they don't see that combo too often. I'm so epically individual. :D

So if you can read my images (That I've actually put on Flickr this time... You know, last post, wear a suit, make a big exit... More on that later.) You should be able to see that I put Visionary a couple of times on there, before I realised just how hard it was to write on a wall with chalk (and that the requirements did actually specify to do it on the ground.. Aw come on..).
A Visionary Person. What's the dictionary in my head got to say about that? Well, something about "Willing to see and implement concepts and process that are different to the norm, that they believe will make the world better." So let's break this down for all those folks who still believe I can't make an sentence.
"Willing to see" - These are people see the world for it's problems. It's things that they don't agree with, they do not own rose coloured spectacles, and don't like people who can accept things for the way the are if they have to make compensations. Er.. Hm.. Sorry I meant compromises, I was thinking about... Something else.
"and implement" - They are willing to force the changes to exist. Sometimes they know what they need to do, sometimes they don't... Either way, their willing to do it
"Concepts and processes that are different from the norm" - Good visionaries don't mind getting heckled when they have a good idea that they've fulling put themselves into. Einstein was laughed at by other Physicists, Galileo was said to be mad. When people have proof and drive.. They are like a cat with a laser, they will eat you if they cannot have the laser.
"That they believe will make the world better." - Now here's the hard thing to believe, visionaries have peoples' best interests at heart, they think the world will be improved with whatever they are going to do.
Wait, how is that anything like me?? Well, yeah, I don't like the way the world works, but I don't really have an ideas to make it better. Except my couple of protocols like "Selective Host Interface Transfer" Protocol, the first protocol ever that you can't abbreviate. (Opposite to Better Approach To Mobile Adhoc Networking, cause EVERYONE wants that abbreviated.) So yeah, I have some visions that temporary adhocs and data transfer can be done better, but it pains me to know, that in my field I can make a difference, but I can't really make a difference to the quite literally billions of people earning lest then US$2 a day.. That makes me a VERY sad panda. And I don't feel good enough for the planet... That my Purpose (Sorry, saw avenue Q on Saturday and have been talking deep stuff ever since.) seems useless in the great scheme of things, then I realise this
There are 6 BILLION people in this world and I know one of them, or the decendant of one of them will be visionary enough to make the REALLY big changes that will improve life on this planet...
While me? I'll be waiting in the wings to give them internet for porn...
Exams: They happened... They were all pretty boring... May have screwed up one, maybe two, maybe all three. But after sex and death... SERIOUSLY... I can't think of any more beneficial advice I can give you apart from show up and skim the lecture notes at some point.
Sadly however, for some of you this may be the last time you ever hear of me, personally I'm thinking Johnathan will win, but all the other blogs are fantastic I really hope that people have gotten lot out of them as much as we have writing them. But with 16 votes I must face the fact that I have a very niche audience, whom I hope to cater occasionally for, and looking forward to seeing what other Ethics comities Murdoch actually has. And how easily I can annoy them. But I won't be directly linked to Murdoch so they can't complain YAY!
I've had a few laughs and I'd like to take this moment to look back on some of these great posts that have made me so proud...

Who is proof reading this?! Seriously, no wonder it has no readers, it has no grammer. Or spell checking.
So I've wasted your time and I thank you so much for doing so. Please keep visiting irregulary for more disturbia.
Now, the staff running the competition have allowed us to decimate campus with chalk body outlines so as a special Graffiti of the week I decided that one of them should be a little more realistic...
I guess whoever this was... (Takes off sunglasses) Knew too much...YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.... Good night.
