Blog Post 9: Romantic Or Classical?

Various forms of personality quizzes over the past couple decades have evolved into a social phenomenon on smart phone apps and the internet. It has even become commonplace for one go speak with a fortune teller and toss oodles of cash into these "experiences" to discover one's own personality. A vast plethora of individuals have taken personality quizzes whether they be Pottermore tests from Harry Potter or Game of Thrones house tests, but do any of these actually accurately measure your virtue as an individual, let alone your personality? Some individual's personalities have the tendency to change overtime and to accurately gauge it consistently would be nearly impossible. However, taking the time to ask yourself simple questions about your own perspective on life could prove to be enlightening. Some fundamental aspects of an individuals personality can be discovered by comprehending if one is Romantic or Classical. As Romantics are generally more intuitive as they think on their feet without hesitation and are willing to explore a plethora of ideas. However, Classicists comprehend intuition but are more willing to ground their thoughts cautiously in order to avoid any misconception. I believe that I am more of a Romantic because I enjoy nature and I frequently favor adventure since I typically never go to the same place twice; places such as restaurants or the same hiking trails. I am also quick to fantasize about what the future may hold as I constantly dream of traveling around the world. Yet I can't help but feel held back by financial means and academic responsibilities. Romantics are also very open and honest with their opinions, but this is where I would falter a bit as a Romantic since I understand the necessity of restraining open opinion for good intentions. Either way each facet of these two ideologies are beneficial in their own way, and provide a glimpse into how one perceives the world and themselves.
