Enneagram

After taking the personality test, my result was the number nine. The number nine is associated with the peacemaker. According to the test, a nine is someone who must be peaceful and easy to get along with in order to be happy. Also, nines are calm, laid-back, optimistic, able to see everyones point of view, and fearful of conflict and separation from others. According to 9types.com, nines genuinely open up to others and accept them as they are. 

After taking the personality test and seeing my results, there are some things I can see in myself, but there are also things I do not see in myself. When it comes to these kinds of tests, I do not believe that the tests are 100% accurate. The reason why I think this is because people will not look at each question the same way every time, which could make their answer different, ending with a different result. But, each time I have taken a personality test, I can see some of the traits presented in my results in myself. The tests must be somewhat accurate if this occurs each time, which it does.

Introduction

Hey, my name is Josh Poland and I am from Enfield, New Hampshire. This is my first experience with the whole blogging thing, so I am not sure how it will go. I was born on March 16, 1991 in my hometown of Enfield, NH. My parents names are Mark and Shawn. I only have one sibling, a 16 year old sister, Tarra. I have lived in Enfield for my whole life up to this point. I attended Mascoma Valley Regional High School, where I played both soccer and basketball. In June of 2009, I graduated from high school not knowing what to expect when I got to Montana. 

I am a freshman here at the University of Montana majoring in accounting. People always ask me why I came all the way to Montana, and to tell you the truth, I dont really know why I came out here. All I can say is that I came out here on vacation a year ago and while I was here I was able to visit the school. I am sure you can guess that I liked the school, obviously I liked it enough to travel a few thousand miles from home just to attend school.  Thats a quick overview of myself.
