sophisticated stereotyping 10:43 PM"The use of travelling is to regulate imagination by reality, and, instead of thinking of how things may be, to see them as they are." - Samuel Johnson
To me, this is more than just taking in the sights and sounds of new unfamiliar places; it is also about seeking to understand one's international friends, their thoughts and behaviour and why they are as such. This is where sensitivity, empathy and Osland and Bird's theory of sophisticated stereotyping come in. :)
The Duckworth Quad in fall and winter (though both do not depict the same building in the distance, haha). Notice there isn't any sunshine in the 2nd picture, though it was only 1pm. :(

About me
You are an enthusiastic innovator, always seeing new possibilities and new ways of doing things. You have a lot of imagination and initiative for starting projects, and a lot of impulsive energy for carrying them out. You are stimulated by difficulties and are most ingenious in solving them. You can get so interested in your newest project that you have time for little else. Your energy comes from a succession of new enthusiasms and your world is full of possible projects. Your enthusiasm gets other people interested too.
Your feeling preference shows in a concern for people. You are skillful in handling people and often have remarkable insight into the possibilities and development of others. You are extremely perceptive about the attitudes of others, aiming to understand rather than judge people. You are much drawn to counseling and can be inspired and inspiring teacher, particularly where you have freedom to innovate. With talent, you can succeed in almost any field that captures your interest.
A difficulty for you is that you hate uninspired routine and find it remarkably hard to apply yourself to sometimes necessary detail unconnected with any major interest. Worse yet, you may get bored with your own projects as soon as the major problems have been solved or the initial challenge has been met. You may need to learn to follow through and finish what you have begun, but are happiest and most effective in jobs that permit one project after another, with somebody else taking over as soon as the situation is well in hand.
Hearsay? Say here.
