Project Topic:

     As modern technology progresses, people have more and more options as how to share personal information such as their specific locations, photos, videos, and their general whereabouts. A lot of apps and social media websites require an "digital agreement" to allow these services to be provided through using location services that your phone provides and also some other personal information. What exactly though is it that you're a agreeing to when your social media sites or apps prompt you to share information with them. How deep does it go? What do they have access to and how far can they go back?

     The purpose behind this project will be to research how much information is being shared and at some point could it be it be potential an overstep of privacy how much information can be looked into.

ENTP Personality

    After evaluating my my score of ENTP I came to the conclusion that I don't believe that  I've taken any test before that so well nailed my personality, character, and decision dynamics quite on the head as well as this test did.

    Some of the main vocabulary used to describe an ENTP personality are clever, hot-headed, spontaneous, outgoing, sometimes oblivious, and also have a knack for playing the devil's advocate which more times than not, I find myself practicing all these traits. Although obviously not all traits that somebody carries are going to be good ones- I can also admit some of the more negative dynamics of my character are just as true as the positive ones.

     The only area I'm not 100% sure that this test was accurate about was possible career paths that a ENTP might take- I'm not certain that I've decided for myself at this point in time so to be able to tell now is hard- although I won't say that all the options given to me were completely dis interesting- that wouldn't be true. However, after taking this test I've come to the conclusion that it is a pretty good representation of yourself if answered honestly.

  ENTP Description

  by Marina Margaret Heiss
  "Clever" is the word that perhaps describes ENTPs best. The professor who juggles half a dozen ideas for research papers and grant proposals in his mind while giving a highly entertaining lecture on an abstruse subject is a classic example of the type. So is the stand-up comedian whose lampoons are both funny and incisively accurate.
  ENTPs are usually verbally as well as cerebrally quick, and generally love to argue--both for its own sake, and to show off their debating skills. ENTPs tend to have a perverse sense of humor as well, and enjoy playing devil's advocate. This sometimes confuses, even angers, those who don't understand or accept the concept of argument as a sport.
  ENTPs are as innovative and ingenious at problem-solving as they are at verbal gymnastics; on occasion, however, they manage to outsmart themselves. ENTPs can be prone to "sharp practice" – especially cutting corners without regard to the rules if it's expedient – or, their juggling acts may simply be so over-ambitious they collapse.
  Both at work and at home, ENTPs are very fond of "toys" -- physical or intellectual, the more sophisticated the better. Once these have been "solved" or become too familiar, however, they’ll be replaced with new ones.
  ENTPs are basically optimists, but in spite of this (perhaps because of it?), they can become petulant about small setbacks and inconveniences. (Major setbacks they regard as challenges, and tackle with determination.) ENTPs have little patience with those they consider wrongheaded or unintelligent, and show little restraint in demonstrating this. In general, however, they are genial, even charming, when not being harassed by life.
  In terms of their relationships with others, ENTPs are capable of bonding very closely and suddenly with their loved ones. Some appear deceptively offhand with their nearest and dearest; others are so demonstrative that they succeed in shocking co-workers who've only seen their professional side. ENTPs are also quick to spot a kindred spirit, and good at acquiring friends of similar temperament and interests.
  ENTPs may sometimes give the impression of being largely oblivious to the rest of humanity except as an audience: good, bad, or potential. In general this is unfair – but it can be difficult to get an ENTP’s attention when they’re not immediately aware of you, especially for an Introvert.
  The best approach in communicating with an ENTP is to be straightforward. No games – they’ll win. No "pulling rank" – they’ll just want to put you in your place. No apologies – you’ll undermine yourself. Try "I need/want to talk to you."
