Hi Raul,

20/10/2008

Here is your full Personality Profiler report from CareerOne.com.au.

This assessment provides a detailed snapshot of your personality type and working style. It's part of the more extensive Humm-Wadsworth Temperament Scale psychological assessment.

Based on your answers, what can we say about your style?

People with this temperament style have many contrasting behavioural characteristics. On the one hand, they are sociable individuals who like people, like to chat and to communicate with others. On the other hand, they are reserved and can be shy with people they do not know. They have a tendency to become very involved or absorbed in a task for a period of time and then emerge in order to gain some interpersonal contact with people. They are people who can be very chatty when they are passionate about a particular area, often a technical area, such as IT, where they have a project that they are working on. They can talk at length on subjects that hold their interest, but their preference will be to engage with people in small groups or one to one, as having a lot of attention or the limelight placed on them will make them feel uncomfortable.

They may not necessarily initiate social contact with people but, if they happen to have finished a project, they will be receptive to individuals approaching them. They are people who can create some confusion for their colleagues, as there is a need to avoid being interrupted when they are in the middle of their work. However, at other times, they will love the distraction. So people have to be selective regarding when they interrupt this individual. The outcome could either be one of receptiveness or it could be irritability, depending on the circumstance.

Amongst their motivations is a need to work on projects, where they can be alone for periods of time and where they can absorb themselves in the details of that project. They can be very task focused individuals and, while they like to successfully complete projects, they need variation within those projects. That is, they will need short-term activity where they can see the outcomes of their efforts and then move on to a new project. Whilst on the whole they will prefer to work on their own on their projects, they will like to know there are people around to interact with and converse with if they need to.

They have a lot of energy and enthusiasm, but this tends to be somewhat masked by the individuals' less demonstrative or outspoken nature. They like to plan the work the way they see is most appropriate, becoming frustrated if others interfere with how they are going to go about executing a plan of action. They like to be part of a team, but they like to have their separate contribution to that team. With people they do not know, a more reserved and businesslike side of them will emerge but, once they get to know others, then they are more inclined to open up and the friendliness will be evident.

Short-term projects are certainly the key for them, but they will need to be projects where they can sit on their own for a period of time and juggle a number of tasks.

Summary

Individuals with this temperament style enjoy working on creative projects that are aimed towards helping others and/or are team projects with people they know well. While basically private, they can impact well and prove effective in people oriented roles such as:

Health Consultant; Occupational Therapist; City Planner; Medical Technologist; Interior Decorator; Set Designer;

One of the farmers paint the street in front of Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) central office at Quezon City during "Operation Pinta" and flag waving last May 28, 2008. The event symbolizes their call for extension and reformation of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) which will expire on June 10. The farmers have been staying in a makeshift camp in front of DAR office since April 16 as they wait for the distribution of land owned by the Arroyos.

Talking Heads on Electricity

(May 22, 2008) Congressman of 4th District of Isabela, Rep. Giorgidi Aggabao, talks about the Republic Act (RA) 7842 on the abolition of system loss that public utility companies (like Meralco) charge to their customers during Usaping Balita media forum last May 22 at Serye Restaurant in Quezon Memorial Circle, Quezon City. He says that the bill is already with the Committee on Energy.

(May 22, 2008) Chairman of Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), Hon. Rodolfo Albano, talks about the alleged overcharging of Meralco on electricity rates during Usaping Balita media forum last May 22 at Serye Restaurant in Quezon Memorial Circle, Quezon City. He says that his organization is still reviewing the system loss (stolen electricity) being charged to customers. He hopes that they would have the results before he retires on July 10 this year. ERC is the organization that encourages competition and penalize abuse of power in electric industry.

(May 22, 2008) Deputy Minority Leader Congressman, Rep. Roilo Golez, suggests overhauling the accounting system of public utility companies like Meralco in solving the current controversy on overpricing of electricity rates during Usaping Balita media forum last May 22 at Serye Restaurant in Quezon Memorial Circle, Quezon City. He believes in uniformity of accounting system and should be applied also to private organizations with similar situation (pertaining to system loss).

Distribute Arroyo Land Now

(12 May 2008) We have mouths to feed. Alvin Celis, one of the farmers of Arroyo-owned Hacienda Bacan, prepares lunch as he spends his third week in a makeshift camp in front of Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) Central Office in Quezon City. Task Force Mapalad (TFM) supports the farmers by providing them food, water, and other basic needs. 

(12 May 2008) Counting the years. Filipino farmer Renato Garay has been tilling a land that he does not own since 1972. He is one of the farmers dismissed from work after joining the makeshift camp in front of Department Agrarian Reform (DAR) central office in Quezon City. They demand distribution of 157-hectare Hacienda Bacan in Negros Occidental owned by the Arroyos. 

Dominance and Submission

This is my first time covering a Jiu-Jitsu competition at Mall of Asia in Pasay City. Jiu-Jitsu is a contact sport where a player should be dominant and forcing his or her opponent to submit. 

I love taking photos of contact sports particularly tae-kwon-do and rugby because of emotions and form. But this is a contact sport that is hard to get that much facial expression and action.

Unfortunately, the competition was stopped due to heavy rains. Janitors of the mall had to remove the water off the competition areas.

Sunny Laboy Day 2008

I decided to take photos of the Labor Day protests for wage hike as my general news event coverage for ACFJ. Besides, it has been ages since I covered a demonstration in the Metro. I realized how important it is to monitor the news on the tv, radio, or internet. I was able to find out the schedule and routes of the rally.

I prepared my gears, attached the lens, and adjusted my exposure settings before leaving the house. I expected that I could just bump into a rally on the streets. I took the LRT going to Central station at around 10am to go straight to Liwasang Bonifacio. The moment I went down from the train station, I saw a bulk of protesters walking from Quiapo bridge to Liwasan across the Post Office.

I ran as fast as I could and checked the best angle I could shoot from. I saw a fly-over that is perpendicular to the bridge and hurriedly went up there. I had jumped over the fence to go to the other side and have the good view.

People started organizing themselves despite the scorching heat of the sun which composed of groups from different sectors of the society such as the public school teachers who are underpaid. I caught them eating at the same time right in front of the Post Office while a TV crew was also documenting them. 

Activists decorated the area with slogans and posters calling the attention of the government for wage increase. There were also banners that highlight good qualities of Filipinos and one of them is "Makabayan" which means 'Nationalistic'.

Several representatives were called on stage to speak about their opinions on the current administration. One of them is Olivet Nepumoceno who spoke regarding the status and the benefits of the public teachers.

The march resumed at 1pm from Liwasang Bonifacio to Mendiola near the Malacanang Palace. I walked with the crowd. There were lots of people just watching the march. I came across a kid who looks like living in the street. And that made me feel that the child sort of represents the standard of living that my fellow Filipinos are experiencing.

As soon as the protesters reached Mendiola, they again started their setup like what they did in Liwasang Bonifacio. They also asked more representatives of different sectors to speak up.

The road at Mendiola was already blocked with steel railings and barbed wires when we got there. At the other side of the barricade were police men and women who were prepared with their shields to push protesters away in case a riot happens. 

Despite the barricade, it didn't stop the protesters to organize and say loudly their sentiments by waving the flags and banners.
