ENFP Personality Types
Each letter in the personality type code - E, N, F, and P - describes a preference for a way of thinking or behaving. There are eight styles and you use all of them, but ENFPs prefer: Extraversion (interacting with people) more than Introversion (thinking things through)iNtuition (perceiving new possibilities) more than Sensing (perceiving tangible facts)Feeling (making decisions using subjective values) more than Thinking (making decisions using objective logic)Perception (a flexible lifestyle) more than Judgement (an organised lifestyle) Find out how close your unique personality is to ENFP. If your closest personality type is ENFP then you are someone who senses the hidden potential in people. Next: ENFP's Mental Functions By Steve Myers (Google+).

High School Study Tips - Ability
"You cannot teach a man or woman anything; you can only help them to find it within themselves."Galileo "Just as eating against one's will is injurious to the health, so study without a liking for it spoils the memory, and it retains nothing it takes in." The only way to make study work for you is to avoid BOREDOM - the worst enemy of learning. From a very early age, we vary what we do to stop ourselves getting bored. Over time we develop a concentration-span - the time between starting a task to the time we find our minds wandering. The brain receives information from our senses. If you are bored, short term memory is lost very quickly and so can never be passed on. The best way to learn is to limit study periods to the length of our concentration-span. Go to your study area and get settled. Now that you know what your own brain can cope with you can sort out your reading and revision to suit. study beyond your concentration-span. Short-term memory lasts between 12 to 48 hours. Or:

How Steelcase Redesigned the 21st Century College Classroom
When it comes to creative office spaces, "collaboration" and "flexibility" are the bywords of the moment. Companies happily invest in modular furniture and open-plan layouts that make it easier for workers to actually, well, work together. So wouldn't it be natural for college campuses nationwide — the feeders of tomorrow's office workers — to create like-minded classrooms? The truth is, most college classrooms look shockingly similar to those that our parents and grandparents were educated in. You know exactly what we're talking about: those cavernous lecture halls, with podiums fronting endless rows of one-arm tablet desks. "That model has existed forever," says Elise Valoe, senior design researcher for Steelcase, and has created a real mismatch between the skills employers want and how students actually learn. Steelcase's tech-enabled "LearnLabs" are trying to change that. What does a typical LearnLab look like? [media:scape tables] [A huddle board] [You can't hide!]
The Economic History of the Last 2,000 Years in 1 Little Graph

But here it is: The economic history of the world going back to Year 1 showing the major powers' share of world GDP, from a research letter written by Michael Cembalest, chairman of market and investment strategy at JP Morgan. I'm guessing that your first question, if you started scanning from the left, is: Wait, India was by far the biggest economy at the dawn of AD? In Year 1, India and China were home to one-third and one-quarter of the world's population, respectively. Before the Industrial Revolution, there wasn't really any such thing as lasting income growth from productivity. The industrial revolution(s) changed all that. (via Paul Kedrosky)
