Trey Gowdy

I watched a YouTube video today called "Meet Trey Gowdy" and I believe it is worth watching for every American, whether Republican or Democrat, because in it he asks the questions I hear so many concerned Americans asking... The link, I believe, is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4eaDTdwdA8 (copy and paste). Trey Gowdy was a prosecutor for 16 years before running for Congress from South Carolina

and he's clearly got his head screwed on straight. This is a long video, almost an hour, but in it he addresses everything from the IRS scandal to Benghazi. I especially liked the segment where he's asked to comment on one of his fellow congressmen's comments about congressmen being underpaid...
If ever our country needs strong leadership it's now, and Mr Gowdy would make an excellent Speaker of the House. I believe he would exercise the leadership necessary to stand up to this President, or any president, who chooses to ignore their sworn duties to uphold our laws and/or grab power that is not granted to the executive branch in the Constitution. Trey Gowdy you have my vote!
Food for thought...

Personality Profiling...

Carl Jung developed the theory that everyone has their own distinctive psychological type which makes up their personality type. He developed sixteen different personality types, later further developed by Katherine Briggs and Isabel Briggs Meyers. There are four major catagories, and two sub catagories within each one. Every one falls into one of the sixteen types developed.

Personality typing is incredibly helpful in areas of growth and self-development. It also helps us understand those personality types we are best compatible with...

The four catagories are Sensing (S) or Intuition (N), Thinking (T) or Feeling (F), Judging (J) or Perceiving (P),and within each catagory we are either Introverted (I) or Extroverted (E).

The different combinations possible that all fall into are:
ESFP ESTP ISTJ ISFJ ENFP ENTP INFJ INTJ
ESTJ ENTJ ISTP INTP ESFJ ENFJ INFP ISFP

Understanding your own personality type is a real an d effective tool in self discovery, and can further help us understand those around us. To learn more about personality typing, and even take the Briggs-Meyers personality test visit www.personalitypage.com .

IQ TEST

Your IQ Test
YOUR RESULTS =155. Genius Outstanding! Your score on the IQ test suggests you are well in the Genius intelligence range. Your score has placed you at the highest measurable levels of intellectual prowess. Ironically, intelligence research has found an unexpected tendency among the exceptionally intelligent to under-achieve, at least as far as the traditional academic and professional indicators are concerned. The smartest people seem to wind up living relatively modest and ordinary lives. Why? It may be that when you have an over-abundance of natural intelligence the ordinary elements of life can seem far beneath you as to be boring. Alternatively, this glut of intelligence can lead to mental indolence and “coasting” on one's natural abilities. Few geniuses really achieve the heights of success and achievement that we would expect the powers of genius to bring them. So, while you have achieved magnificently on this IQ test, take only so much comfort from your lofty score. Remember, it is far better to be actively striving toward success than to lie recumbently expecting it. THE MEANING OF I.Q.: I.Q. or intelligence quotient is a general assessment of your ability to think and reason. Your I.Q. score is actually an indication of how you compare in this ability with the majority of people in your age group. A rating of 100, for example, means that, as compared to the majority of other people in your age group, you have a normal rate of intelligence: Most psychologists consider those falling in the range of 95-105 as having a normal or average I.Q. There are many abilities which are not measured by I.Q. testing. For example, I.Q. does not measure musical talent, manual dexterity, or a variety of other abilities. However, I.Q. testing does give you an important indication of your ability to think, reason and solve problems. This is critical to your success in life. An individual’s overall intelligence is a difficult thing to measure in any absolute fashion. Human intelligence may be said to consist of literally hundreds of different and distinct mental abilities. And only a few of these may be measured through formal testing. Creators of IQ tests have attempted to isolate and measure only a handful of mental abilities which serve as likely predictors of achievement – namely logical reasoning, math skills, general knowledge, the ability to classify things, the ability to see analogies, and the ability to recognize patterns. Your score on this IQ test by no means reflects a complete picture of your intelligence. It does not take into consideration verbal, social or emotional intelligence, to name just a few. Nor does it measure all your intellectual potential. No IQ test can do that.
