In the public speaking class last week, the speaker did an activity in class, it's an activity to find out our own natural behavior, in order to have more effective relationships between people. She gave us a paper and the paper is divided into four categories: Analytic, driver, amiable, and expressive. I belong to the expressive. 

Being an expressive means that I'm an energetic and fast-paced person; who loves to tell jokes and stories, decide quickly, have drammatic body movements and direct eye contact with people, always wander from topics or switch topics and loves to collect trophies and inspirational sayings. Throughout the analysis, I realized that I am exactly this type of person! First, I do love to tell stories of myself and friends to my family or other friends. Second, when I talk, I always have the right eye contact with people including some dramatic body movements, in order to tell my story or elaborate better. Third, I make important decisions very quickly, but with care. Fourth, when I'm having a conversation with another person, what always switch from topic to topics and i'll always plan and think about what topic to say next I'm my head. Lastly, The most important and obvious observation is that I love to collect trophies, certificates or inspirational sayings. 

 Ever since I was in kindergarten, I will like to collect whatever Trophies and certificates they have and I will try my best to collect them all. I did this all the way until high school. And that is why I have a lot of trophies and certificates at home! Plus, I think this is also part of the reason why I can get accepted into National Taiwan University of science and technology. And the habit of collecting inspirational sayings, such as quotes are build in around high school periods. That is when I really start to read. I spend a lot of time reading during high school, and that is when I found a lot of useful and meaningful quotes and sayings. I will always collect them in my computer since then. All in all, i think ths activity really helps me to know more about how myself is like.
