Personality Quiz

The personality quiz  can be considered as the technique to reveal the individual individual's character or psychological makeup .The personality tests can be conducted either online  or the paper one which provides us the opportunity to test our psychology revealing the truths and the kind of the personality we have. I preferred to choose the online quiz for my personality test where I was asked to answer the questions honestly so that the evaluation of the personality type can be done systematically.

The personality quiz experience made me know more about myself where I had to answer the questions used for testing my personality type. The questions asked to were related to the different scenario like about my interests. Answering the questions for the quiz was not much difficult and the list of the questions asked were short and simple which was more focused on my interests, behavior and my reactions on different situations. Working on the personality quiz added me the new experience as  playing the quiz I was able to explore myself in a different way .

The experience conducting quiz added the new experience to me as the questions asked and answering the 
questions accordingly made me know about myself more deeply. Though the questions asked for the 
personality evaluation were simple I answered the questions thoroughly going through the options given 
which I felt the better to be answered which suits my personality.

Evaluation of the individual personality can be done effectively through the personality quiz where we can explore ourselves more deeply knowing the facts about ourselves which could still be unknown to us.

Favourite clothing...

Clothing reflects the personality of person. The way the person represents themselves is always linked directly to his clothing. Talking about the styles of different people, everyone has their own styles which they feel comfortable at.  I don’t have any idea related to the clothing sense but I prefer to the clothes that makes me feel comfortable. I feel comfortable with a pair of jeans, T-shirts and shoes .The clothing might vary according to the different season i.e summer or winter.

The first reason to find these clothes comfortable for me is as jeans are always my favorite that looks good and is eligible to be worn at different occasions and the variety of colors is available for the jeans. Although  all the colors feels to be good  but I prefer  dark colored clothes  and so is the  reason I like simple T-shirts that provides  the casual look. As I am always busy in college, I like to be dressed simply in jeans and T-shirts with the comfortable shoes that provide me the ease at the work.

I simply define the clothes as Comfortable which is pleasant to wear, Sensible unlike fashionable they comfort me, Easy-care as these clothes don’t require much care, Simple  as it is not much fancy, Perfect as  I think it suits every occasion.

These clothes provide the feeling of ease to me. The words given above describe my style as they can be considered as the representative of the clothing style that I usually prefer to be with dressed with. There might be some variations in my clothing style according to the different occasions as I need to present myself suitable with the different occasions. Although, usually I like to be dressed in a casual form but I try to manage myself to be dressed differently for different occasions.

Difference between Fear and Respect..

Respect can be defined as the evaluation and consideration of ideas, values, feelings, thoughts of the person. The feeling of respect is something that can be earned with the calm and well mannered behavior and fear can be regarded as the terrific feeling inside the person which can be exploited everywhere at any place. The word fear and respect are close to each other as fear leads to destruction as respect always helps in building the personality of a person.

Fear includes the person feeling about somebody or something in a negative  way created with the distortion   of ideas whereas the respect is the feeling that comes within a person who is able to acknowledge the ideas and views of something .Respect  is always associated with the attraction as the respect to something attracts us to be more curious and understand it's importance and values .Fear is something we are afraid of ,which never boosts  up the feeling to know about something  even if it is good. Self confidence is always attached to the person who has a respectful behavior, who is able to recognize and evaluate the things and acknowledge it accordingly. Both the feeling of the fear and respect for something or somebody comes from within the person the only difference between the feelings is that respect builds up a platform for our success with the steps of self confidence achieved with the feeling of respect whereas the fear destroys our self confidence which never mends our personality.

Respect is something that can be earned which develops our personality and broadens the knowledge level leading us to the glory where the fear can be regarded as the forced feeling which never enhances the success of the person. Fear is something that is created in you which depends on how you react or handle things. Thus, we should build up our feelings positively earning and giving the respect which ultimately removes the negative feeling of fear.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONFIDENCE AND ARROGANCE

The word confidence and arrogance come along with in order to represent one's character. Both the words deal with the acknowledgement of their abilities and their areas of strength. Confidence is regarded as the belief of the person in himself with the proper understanding of his power and areas of strength along with the weak areas which needs the improvement. Arrogant refers to the nature of the person who has the areas of strength but the superior nature of that person never gives him the chance to glance at his weak areas. Without the acceptance of his strength along with the weakness the person cannot achieve anything as the feeling of the confidence appears unless the person acknowledges and improves his weakness.

Confidence can be defined as the self assurance of the person with the belief in himself, his knowledge, and his abilities whereas the arrogance is the Offensive display of his superiority .As a fact the human nature always strives to be right and successful. Successful achievements are only placed on the way of Confidence not arrogance .The feeling of the neglecting others and granting unnecessary self importance to oneself never gives the straightway path to success. Being confident makes the person knowledgeable as it broadens the area of his knowledge as he behaves in a mannered way with the full respect to others view and ideas. But the person full of arrogance never listens to others views and always be attached with his own ideas ignoring others.

With the full faith and belief in our abilities we can gain the attitude of confidence which always makes our life successful .Thus, we can regard confidence as the attitude of the people who has the capability to understand the areas of their strength and weakness at the same time, whereas Arrogance defines the term which gives the virtue of unnecessary pride to the people who never wants to recognize his faults.

Green IT

Green IT refers to the proper utilization and use of the Information Technology in a proper way with the eco friendly and environmentally responsible manner. The article talks about the green IT with more emphasis on the energy consumption within the various IT sectors. The development of the world today is going in pace with the increase in IT facilities around. 
The articles show the observations done on the company for a certain period of time which showed the energy consumption for that period. The wastage of energy and power unnecessarily when the building was unoccupied is one of the scenarios shown here. The use of the PC and the IT requirement s more efficiently in an effective for saving energy is required to be implemented. The control in energy consumption with the awareness amongst all people will surely help to make the purpose of Green IT successful decreasing the global emission of the carbon dioxide which has contributed degrading our environmental condition. We can contribute to implement the action plan for Green IT with the energy saving procedures as we can switch off at the plugs of the equipments when not in use which will also enhance low electricity bills which ultimately enhances the power management.
 It is important to employ power management feature which will not only stop the wastage of energy but also enhance the eco friendly environment which supports the Green IT.

The PC energy calculator can be used which supports the calculation of the electricity consumed by the PC throughout the year at On-mode, Standby-mode and Off-mode. Knowing about the energy consumption with the help of the calculator we can implement the methods which support the less energy consumption.

First week experience.......

The week for the beginning of the second semester has been quite interesting and I felt easy to deal with it as we had the learning experience at the university from the previous semester. With the introduction to other different modules, we attained the lectures for the module Personal development for computing. I felt this module a bit similar to the previous module we took.

At the first moment, I found the module similar to the study skills .But gradually I found it different on what we have done before. At the first lecture, we were given the outline on what we were dealing with, the assessments to be done during this semester. We were introduced to the coursework with the clear view on what have to be done at the completion of the semester.

Working on the tutorial and labs were not new to us as we had experienced it before. We were given with the first   tutorial work where we had to have a short discussion on the points what we should aim to acquire after the completion of the course at the university. During our labs we were given the opportunity to represent ourselves explaining the points given us at the tutorials. Every presentation that were done, were equally good which enhanced us with the clear ideas on that point. I tried my best for presentation exploring on one of the point which I aimed to utilize as a Computing graduate.
As similar to the first semester, the blogs had to be updated every week reflecting upon our academic achievement regarding the module. Unlike the coursework we accomplished before, I found the Coursework for the module in this semester a bit complex as we had to work out much more harder to complete it in  successful manner.

With   the introduction to the module and its objectives the first week of the semester was good providing the clear view on the module Personal Development for Computing.

PERSONAL STATEMENT

I was able to choose this course finally after a long dilemma on what to study as transition from my +2 level to my college level was not flawless. When I started my first semester at the college, I didn't know what to do as everything was overwhelming and I was afraid if I couldn't do well competing with others. But gradually, I found the college quite interesting and exciting as I became familiar with the environment at the college with time.

I found the modules we studied at the college more interesting as we could learn more on different fields related to computing and it's applications .I found the beginning of the semester a bit difficult for me as computing was a new topic for me, since my knowledge to the computers was limited only up to the school level. The modules at the college provided the relevant knowledge on the fields related to computing.

During my study at the college, among the modules I found "Logic" more interesting as it aims to develops a range of mathematical techniques which included set theory, logic relations and functions.Throughout the semester I've stressed myself for good grades and this was possible for this module Logic ,which was one of the achievements for the semester.

"Study skills" was one of the topic which I found quite easy as we didn't have to give any written exams for the modules. This module boosted me with the confidence working in groups for the presentation. I got chance to learn more about the blogs and we created blogs and posted our academic achievement week by week. This module developed reflective learning and writing skills with the help of the Personal Development Planning (PDP).

Learning about the systematic solution of the problems in computers with algorithm and flowchart, use of the spreadsheets and databases in the module "Problem solving for IT" quite interesting as it provided me with the proper understanding about the use of these packages properly. I got the opportunity to elaborate my knowledge on the algorithm and flowchart which are the efficient problem solving tool for computing.

I was a bit afraid when I dealt with the module "Introduction to Programming" as I had limited knowledge in the programming. I thought it would be difficult for me to work through the module but unlike my thought I studied programming easily with the gradual flaw of time. I learnt programming with java which developed interest and confidence in using the Programming languages. We worked with BlueJ which was also one of the efficient tool we used to elaborate our knowledge and skills on the programming sector. Gradually, with time I found the topic to be more interesting as I experienced the way to be a good programmer solving simple Programming problems.

With the achievements and knowledge on the relevant fields of the modules. I got opportunity to flourish myself with the relevant knowledge to programming, broad knowledge for the spreadsheets and database packages.

Working with the coursework ,we were granted which carried our final grades was totally new and exciting experience to me Since, when I began my schooling I have only dealt with the final exams for the better results. Unlike the days at the school I found working on the coursework was a new experience which I  accomplished  successfully with the knowledge and skills I gained from the course which helped me a lot to understand many things and tackle the problems on the way in my daily experiences.

The course work granted to was based on the knowledge and applications we learnt throughout the semester. I was happy and satisfied working on the coursework with the use of the Spreadsheets and Database packages, use of BlueJ for the programming for the completion of the coursework.

Looking through the semester, I felt I grabbed golden opportunity studying the course as I was able to achieve the knowledge based on my experiences tackling the problems on the way to find the better solution to the problems. Working for the presentations in groups sharing the variety of ideas, knowledge among the group members made me delighted, as I was able to gather such experience working together in group.

Computing and it's applications in the world today have always fascinated me and for this reason I found the course more interesting .Since ,the beginning of my academic endeavors I wanted myself to be flourished as the good programmer with the proper implementation and use of the programming skills and experiences, I achieved throughout the whole semester. Utilizing the experiences and knowledge with the exploration of various paths for the successful future I would try to achieve my goal with my proper understating and knowledge.
