Personality test based on C. Jung and I. Briggs Myers type theory. Not Always About Sex - Benefits of Cuddling. Psychology Facts. I was recently asked what are some tips for entering high school students and I suggested that to this individual to just follow the tips I have for college/university. However, I then rethought of it and realize that high school was not so much like college/university at all. High school is a place for you to build your skills to prepare for later education. Hence, I’ve decided to write another set of tips specifically for high school students. It’s been a while since I was in high school so bare with me my tips but hopefully you find it helpful. 1. Work on developing discipline. Well, if you look even further than the future and within yourself, you may begin to realize what these subjects are really teaching you is discipline. I noticed that many individuals who go on to succeed in college/university or even makes it in are the ones who have this kind of discipline. 2.

In high school, I skipped a lot of classes and I did the same in university in my first year and did horribly. 3. Laugh out Loud and Live a Better Life. The numerous health benefits we get when we laugh out loud are significant. Recent studies have shown that hearty laughter is good for, well, the heart. When we laugh, the tissue in our blood vessels expands. Our blood circulation increases, which helps in lessening the risk of heart disease, especially atherosclerosis.

Furthermore, when we laugh, our pulse rate and blood pressure increases slightly. After the laughter subsides, the blood pressure actually goes lower then the original level. Laughter also helps aid our immune system. Laughter is in fact similar to an actual aerobic workout. When we work out, we exercise our muscles, and in the process we reduce mental and physical stress.

Good Lips - The Perfect Kiss. Psychology knowledge: 14 Strange Mental Disorders. Sex on the brain: What turns women on, mapped out - life - 05 August 2011. It's what women have been telling men for decades: stimulating the vagina is not the same as stimulating the clitoris. Now brain scan data has added weight to their argument. The precise locations that correspond to the vagina, cervix and female nipples on the brain's sensory cortex have been mapped for the first time, proving that vaginal stimulation activates different brain regions to stimulation of the clitoris. The study also found a direct link between the nipples and the genitals, which may explain why some women can orgasm through nipple stimulation alone. The discoveries could ultimately help women who have suffered nerve damage in childbirth or disease. The sensory cortex is a strip of brain tissue positioned roughly under where the band between a pair of headphones sits.

Across it, neurons linked to different body parts exchange information about the sensory information feeding into them.

Unfortunately, I do. My girlfriend and I have many common interests, but when it comes to music her love of mainstream pop is just hard for me to digest. So, what do we know about the psychology of musical preferences? There are two radically opposed views about this: One is that song preferences are completely random (this includes the idea that arbitrary subjective experiences can make you like or dislike the same song); the other, that our musical choices reflect important aspects of our personality.

How is it then that our musical preferences come to reveal our inner thoughts and feelings? Given that mood states are closely related to our personality (in fact, personality is to climate what mood is to weather), and given that people use music for emotional regulation, a scientific understanding of musical preferences should provide the perfect window into a person's soul.

Fear of something bad happening in the future is one of the things that make us human. Animals might fear an immediate danger, that is happening right now, but only we fear something that might happen, that isn’t happening now, that isn’t even showing its ugly face at the moment. This fear, some might say, is necessary … it stops us from doing something stupid. I recently asked my Twitter friends: “What fear is holding you back?”

Failureabandonment/rejectionintimacysuccessbeing brokenot being good enough I think the last one — not being good enough — is actually at the root of all the others. Do you have this fear? But here’s the thing: having the fear is natural. I did this, for well over a decade of my adult life. It turned out that my fears were baseless. How can you do this? “The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure.” - Sven Goran Eriksson Also reading: The Secret of Performance Under Pressure.

Some people freeze under the glare of publicity like rabbits in the headlights. Many seasoned performers show no strain however. What is their secret? How can you learn it? Some students do not test well. The anxiety of taking an important test means that their score is substantially lower than it would be if they took the test when the stakes were lower. Some individuals suffer more than others and it scarcely helps that we live in a world where there is little understanding of, or tolerance for, shyness , test anxiety, performance anxiety, or fear of social evaluation.

Two approaches are particularly helpful. Star performers have the strange gift of making their job seem devoid of stress , even effortless. One might be forgiven for imagining that performers in this league have moved on from opening-night jitters. The truth is a great deal more complex. Although performance anxiety never goes away entirely, it is a manageable aspect in the day of a professional performer. Personality test based on Jung and Briggs Myers typology.

Taking Breaks Makes You Work Better. 10 Psychological States You've Never Heard Of — And When You Experienced Them. Self-Awareness: The Gift That Keeps On Giving. How invaluable is the possession of self-awareness? What damage do we do when self-awareness evaporates? I think of self-awareness as the rudder that steers us, on the best possible course, through our days and nights.

It’s certainly harder to steer straight through high winds and tough times, but a tried and true rudder, fashioned out of thinking about others, holds fast. Three encounters, all on one day, brought this issue, once again, to my immediate forefront. I was chatting with the cashier when checking out at the grocery. I always seek her out, both for her humor and her perspective. One of my purchases fell to the floor, and after picking it up and examining it, she asked if I wanted another. Later that day I found myself in the one open line at the hardware store. Taking a walk with my dog at dusk, looking at the houses on the quiet, deadend street on which I grew up, a familiar delivery man slowly made his way toward me. The Selfish Gene. Neuroscience of free will. On several different levels, from neurotransmitters through neuron firing rates to overall activity, the brain seems to "ramp up" before movements.

This image depicts the readiness potential (RP), a ramping-up activity measured using EEG. The onset of the RP begins before the onset of a conscious intention or urge to act. Some have argued that this indicates the brain unconsciously commits to a decision before consciousness awareness. Others have argued that this activity is due to random fluctuations in brain activity, which drive arbitrary, purposeless movements.[1] Philosophers like Daniel Dennett or Alfred Mele consider the language used by researchers.

Overview[edit] ...the current work is in broad agreement with a general trend in neuroscience of volition: although we may experience that our conscious decisions and thoughts cause our actions, these experiences are in fact based on readouts of brain activity in a network of brain areas that control voluntary action... William R. INTP Profile. Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Perceiving by Joe Butt Profile: INTP Revision: 3.2 Date of Revision: 6 Aug 2010 INTPs are pensive, analytical folks. They may venture so deeply into thought as to seem detached, and often actually are oblivious to the world around them. Precise about their descriptions, INTPs will often correct others (or be sorely tempted to) if the shade of meaning is a bit off.

While annoying to the less concise, this fine discrimination ability gives INTPs so inclined a natural advantage as, for example, grammarians and linguists. INTPs are relatively easy-going and amenable to almost anything until their principles are violated, about which they may become outspoken and inflexible. A major concern for INTPs is the haunting sense of impending failure.

Mathematics is a system where many INTPs love to play, similarly languages, computer systems--potentially any complex system. INTPs in the main are not clannish. Whether or not there should be such a group, Famous INTPs: U.S. Vrei să-ţi dezvolţi capacitatea de concentrare? Cercetătorii au descoperit o metodă simplă şi eficientă. Privind această imagine v-aţi îmbunătăţit capacitatea de concentrare + zoom Galerie foto (1) Imaginile cu animale drăguţe sunt omniprezente pe Internet, popularitatea acestora fiind mai mare ca niciodată. Cercetătorii de la Universitatea Hiroshima din Japonia au realizat de curând în studiu în care se arată că a privi aceste poze nu este o pierdere de timp, ci o metodă prin care ne putem îmbunătăţi capacitatea de concentrare. Oamenii de ştiinţă japonezi au efectuat cercetarea pentru a verifica un studiu mai vechi, ce sugera că persoanele care s-au uitat la poze cu animale drăguţe prezentau o mai bună concentrare într-un joc ce testa abilităţile motorii decât oamenii care nu priviseră pozele cu pisici.

Cercetătorii care au efectuat studiul precedent au concluzionat că oamenii devin mai atenţi atunci când privesc ceva drăguţ, sugerând că acest efect rezultă dintr-o reacţie naturală ce garantează că oamenii se comportă cu mai multă grijă atunci când un bebeluş se află prin preajmă. A DIFFERENT LOOK @ PAIN (PAIN IS TEMPORARY) Anxietatea și atacurile de panică nu te fac un om mai slab. Jung şi arhetipurile - Pedagogul. Ver la bella : how to stay positive + present when life's hard. After noticing that my pup, Bella, had lost about a pound (quite a lot for an 8 lb. dog!) , I took her for a checkup. I'd expected be asked to make some changes to her diet, but I never thought I'd be facing a dire diagnosis: kidney trouble.

When I received the initial test results (results that were vague but disheartening), I experienced what I guess are typical responses. First I was shocked, then incredibly sad, then swept away by a wave of powerlessness and disbelief. All the while I was bombarded with the barrage of questions in my mind: How could my little pup -- only 8-years-old and so seemingly healthy -- be suffering from such a serious illness? How would I be able to see her in pain? How would I be able to face losing her -- something I always knew would happen, but could never imagine happening so soon? Over the next few days, the rush of negative emotions and rhetorical questions were endless... Choosing to be positive and present right now has not been easy. 1. 2. 3. 4. 50 Tips for College Students. I did the "extended tour" of college. From about 1991-2002.
