Central Traits: Loyal, Independent, Trusting, Shy
Secondary Trait: Loves going out, watching sports, trying to keep up fashion, spending time with family and friends :)

Activity Two : Are you type A or type B

  • A score greater than 100 suggests that you are a type A personality
  • A score less than 60 suggests tendencies towards a type B personality
2.
My score in the questions for what body type I am is: 205 making me Type A Behaviour
 
3.
My score did surprise me in some places as in the discripition in Type A describes me as somethings as I dont see myself or my life like. In Type A one of he behaviours is that someone is competative and has parents with high expectations of them where I am not very competative and my parents do not have high expectations of me they just want me to do the best that I can in my life.
I was not surprise also with some of the behaviours in Type A as diabetes and some stress related illnesses do also run in my family.

Jake is an man in his early 20's who is very chubby but is still very active due to his work and needs to be fit but he is still chubby even by being fit. So his personality and lifestyle doesnt match his body type even though he is fit and active.

Britt is an 18 year old woman who is a full time student at a dance school so her personality is very outgoing, fit and energetic. But he body type is still very lean even though she is fit and muscular.

The Secret World of Twins

1.
I feel that some identical twins have identical personalities but I still find that they are both individual people and have some differences in their personalities and the way they act. The twins that I have grown up knowing have always been good friends with each other and have been close but they all have their own personalities with hair colour, friends, the way they dress and their appearence.

2.
Personalities can come through a persons genetics whether its to do with how smart they are or their appearence but its also has to do with persons up bringing and the surroundings.

3.
I found interesting from the film that one twin would feel the pain that the other twin was experiencing or that they could feel that something was wrong with each other. I found it amazing that some of the twins were seperated at birth but in their lives they could feel that their lives were different and would go looking for clues or that they would be in the same place at the same time and not realise.

4.
In the film I found challenging watching that if jewish twins were born they were used for experiments and that some for left for dead or if not most of them would die when they were realised from the experiments.

People Watchers

"QUEUE JUMPING"

People are most likely to jump a queue if they can't be bothered waiting in line or just want to be rude. There isnt really a hender difference when it comes to queue jumping it normally depends on if the person  already waiting in the queue is willing to accept the person jumping queue or if they find it rude or not . If a queue is smaller people tend to accept queue jumping more but if the queue is longer people are more inclind to tell the queue jumper to get to the back of the line. But if the queue jumper has a good excuse and apoligses people tend to fall for it more and not mind.

"POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE TALK"

When talking to a person in either a positive or negative way it can reflect on the way the person performans either in everyday life or sporting games. If someone is to talk to someone in a positive manner that person is more inclinde to take notice of them and try their hardest but if someone is to talk down to a person and in a negative way that person can feel down on themselves and as though they should try.

The short documentary "The woman with seven different personalities" is about a lady by the name of Helen who is 35 years old who has an extremely rehear disorder called Dissociative Identity Disorder who lives in London.
