My Strengths

Okay, after that long and arduous struggle... Fine, it was just an easy quiz, but when you're half-asleep, everything that takes any brain power is transformed into a desperate fight against... yeah. Ahem. Anyways. My top five strengths are adaptability, input, developer, harmony, and empathy.

Adaptability
People strong in the Adaptability theme prefer to "go with the flow." They tend to be "now" people who take things as they come and discover the future one day at a time.
Input
People strong in the Input theme have a craving to know more. Often they like to collect and archive all kinds of information.
Developer
People strong in the Developer theme recognize and cultivate the potential in others. They spot the signs of each small improvement and derive satisfaction from these improvements.
Harmony
People strong in the Harmony theme look for consensus. They don't enjoy conflict; rather, they seek areas of agreement.
Empathy
People strong in the Empathy theme can sense the feelings of other people by imagining themselves in others' lives or others' situations.

(A) Mom: "Your "go with the flow" attitude may seem like irresponsibility to those who prefer structure and predictability. They may get irritated with what they perceive to be sloppiness or carelessness."
(A) "Because you live in the moment, you might find yourself easily distracted by new things that come along. You might be particularly likely to drop everything when your friends want you to go out with them." I almost did that when all of Adams Hall went for a donut run at 9:30 at night the night before my health test... But I did stay and study!
(I) Reading over this description makes me wish I were a science major so that I could learn even more!! This describes me perfectly, I think... It would explain why I always was obsessed with learning everything about Pokemon. Haha...
(D) This would explain why I'm drawn to young children... and vice versa. Yay.
(H) Um, I don't know. I do like to avoid conflicts, usually. Unless I really think I'm right.
(E) Ooh, I like this one. It's almost like I'm special and helpful and stuff. No, I really do think it fits...

Who Am I?


I am Allison Pearl Bloom. I am a big sister and a "second mommy." I am a great cook and I'm really good at math and science. I like reading and logic puzzles. I love my brothers more than anything else in the world. I want to be like my mom when I grow up. I'm still scared of the dark and I love walking at night. I know God loves me when I look up at the stars and when I see the morning dew. I like walking in the rain and coming back home to have a cup of hot apple cider. I think emo guys are hot, but Hershey's cookies&cream bars are even hotter. ♥ I have the Macarena on my iPod, which is the second iPod Mini I've owned and has broken in the same way as the last one, but this time without me having dropped it twice down stairs (and bouncing) on concrete. I had 4 guys who liked me last year and I managed to avoid high school drama completely until my senior year. I was homeschooled from first through fourth grade, and for my first semester as a high school freshman. My name means "little truthful one" and so doesn't describe me at all. The horoscope for me is almost always right, strangely enough, and both my mother and I are very surprised by it, since we don't take stock in such things. I much prefer Slytherin to Gryffindor, and Ravenclaw would be my second choice. All of my significant crushes have been on guys with dark hair, and I think long hair on guys is really creepy. I'm a terrible procrastinator- I put this off until the last minute even! And, oh shoot. My accounting homework. Right. Um, lol. Bye!
