Grove City attitude assesment test

alright all of us grove city attendees have officially been here long enough to develop a worthwhile opinion on the topic. ive heard alot of "i love it"s and usually the next day the same people are quick to respond with an "i hate it." confused? probably not.. youve been in this situation, yet you do not understand the bipolarity of your own words.. so here it is.. straight up three syllables of collegiate enlightnment.. ATTITUDE (big an bold.. kinda like an obnoxious person eating a bag of doritos... pretty much says im better then you..). now your probably thinking "great now hes preaching at me... i cant believe hed say that! this guy is totally a first class first amendment tool.." im glad you got that out of your system.. and no my next blog is not about stoning the gays, burning abortion clinics, or the emancipation of the south (sorry texas it was a good effort).. let us take a minute to shift the heated emotions and evoked hard feelings squarely upon your shoulders with some randomly placed scripture.. "I am a man of peace; yet when I speak, they are for war." (psalm 120: 7).. convenient huh? great now that everybody loves everbody again lets get back to the topic of conversation; attitude. this can seemingly change from bad to good just about as quickly as the wind changes directions.. how can one measure such an entity? are we to be powerless slaves to its constantly shifting outlook? how does this at all relate to us Grovenese? (why am i still letting you put words in my mouth?) unfortunately, i do not have all the answers.. why you lack an internal locus of control is between you and yourself... but i can assist! im providing a test to help you measure the current state of your attitude (shocker.. another test).. just sit back and let science do all the work (just dont give him a real name.. hell narc you out)..

dialog attitude test: select/fill in the designated feilds, denoted by the symbols "(" and ")", with the first thing that comes to your mind in context of the narrative

-example: my roommate (wants me dead/ wants my food) <- choose one

-example: i (_____) education <- fill in the () with "love" "enjoy" "want".. this is your chance for your voice to be heard.. dont get over zealous setting: typical morning you: (________)! i have an eight o clock class today.. i cant believe i (went to bed at a responsible hour/stayed up so late).. im gonna (go get breakfast and promote health and wellness/ hit the snooze button four to six times before falling out of bed).. gee im mighty glad i choose to ( go get some delicious eggbeaters!/sleep an extra twenty minutes).. man do i (_____) that cafeteria food. dr.(_______)s class you to your friend: dude this class is the (_______) friend: i really cant believe you just said that cause i totally feel the exact same way about this class that were both sitting in right now.. friend again: i cut class last week may i have your notes? you: (frankly im disappointed in your willingness to subject your self to such a debasement of higher education.. and no you may not have my notes.. learn to make morally calculated choices/ yeah man take them all.. i wish i cut last week) friend: oh shoot! the teacher is handing out a quiz you: (_____)!!! im so thoroughly (prepaired/ unprepaired) for this (_______) quiz that im positive im going to (make my mother proud / check the crimson to see if self inflicted injury is a valid provost excuse) after class: you: im going to go (study/______ --> not study).. im so glad im (getting my work done so i can stay aptly prepaired for what ever educational challange awaits me tomorrow/ procrastinating because ___________ is soooo much better then _________ class homework).. i really cant wait for the next (exciting grove city on campus event/ the next long weekend)

on weekends
you: there is (so much fun stuff going on that i dont think ill ever be able to do it all/ nothing to do at all.. im so bored i think ill read patricks blog)..

on sunday night:
you: (im glad i finished my homework so i do what i want and go to bed early/ i got like five hundred pages to cruise through before class tomorrow.. no way im doin it.. ill just ask that really smart kid next door what its about)..

17 blanks.. howd you do?
-the left answer in the prewritten responses are the more positive of the two
-go back and asses your fill in the blanks.. were they optimistic or did they have a negitive conotation connected with the word?
-add up the number correct and see how you did
you cant fail an assesment test (a change for the betterment of stress levels?)

your attitude as of now:
1-5 positive answers = cynical
-assesment = you are distrustful of human nature itself. nothing is ever free. your always looking for the catch. you generally doubting or contemptious of your role in grove city..
6-9 positive answers = indifferent
-assesment = you show no strong care, concern or intrest in your grove city experience. youve probably become desensitized to your workload and just accept it the way it is..
10-13 positive answers = proactive
-assesment = you act in advance to deal with anticipated difficulties. you expect the future hardships and plan ahead to deal with them in an exacting manner.
14-17 positive answers = ?!?
-assesment = you should not have gotten over 13 positive answers.. your probably too happy.. i suggest laying off the codeine for a few hours..
