still pondering things

in a very interesting exercise, we took some neuro-linguistic tests on friday. i was surprised to see that i'm very much an audio (9 out of 9) and visual (7 out of 9) person when it comes to learning. i'd have thought more visual.. but upon reading and learning.. the audio part totally makes sense to me.

in terms of processing things.. i'm a mix of parallel (4) and serial (3), which makes sense to me. i like patterns, but i pulled to do many things at once. structured choas is my life i suppose..

in terms of expressing myself, i'm more visual than anything else.. but i'm not sure that's accurate as i realized what the test was testing.. and part of my head influening my to pick the visual terms.. since i consider myself visual -- in other words, i'm not sure i took the test fairly. though, i am very much apted to say "do you see what i mean?"

anyway. we also went through how people's eyes move when they are answering questions.. what's a creative answer (lie?) and what's memory.. what's audio and self-talk. interesting stuff to be sure, but a quick googling shows it's pesudoscience at best.

as for yesterday's post, i forget which position i called B and which C, but I'm pretty sure i have it straight.. and i think B is the deal for me. the only hitch being if i end up in the region with the guy who likes C.. then i'd probably do C. in other words, there isn't a bad choice.

the idea of possible locations is now bumbling about in my head.. i really thought i was headed to chicago, but that seems off the table. i'm not sure how much influence i have on location and i've sent off an email to try and clarify that. if i can really influence that, well.. then i think i know all the pieces of the puzzel.. and it will be pretty funny where i end up. nearly quite ironic.. but not really ironic.

just funny how things work out sometimes no?
