I find that the MIDAS test is helpful for one, especially in learning. I can tell from the chart that I am better when dealing with numbers and people, rather than music and nature. It was rather obvious from the kind of answers I gave. Nevertheless, it could be very helpful for people who are unsure what they are better in.

INTRAPERSONAL
-Who would you want to be friends with in the novel? Explain.

I would want to befriend Tom Robinson. Tom Robinson is a very honest man. He does not lie even though he was aware of the consequences of what he says. Furthermore, he is very helpful towards other people, such as Mayella Ewell, while asking for nothing in return. This shows how good a friend he would make, as he is willing to commit his time and effort to aid someone whom he barely understands, someone who was not very socialable.

Tom Robinson has proven himself to be a very calm and collected man in the face of despair. He did not react impulsively during the entire court session, and managed to stay calm despite all the evidence that was against him.

I would like to make friends with a man who is reliable and helpful, someone like Tom Robinson. A good friend that will stand by you and unlikely to betray you to achieve their own ambitions.


Interpersonal

-Conduct an interview with a friend (not from HCI) or family member. Find out from their point of view on prejudice and discrimination. Either record the interview or write out the interview transcript.

(I will be interviewing my brother in the interview.)

Me: What is your view on the topic of prejudice?
Brother: I think that prejudice is something that people think about other people. Prejudice is usually a negative opinion on someone or a group of people.

Me: What do you feel brings out prejudice?
Brother: I feel that the society is a large reason for many prejudices in this world. There are also many other reasons, such as people's experiences with a type of people.

Me: What are you opinions on prejudice?
Brother: Prejudice is very unfair. It is not right to generalise people just because of past experiences or what people tell you.

Me: How is discrimination different from prejudice?
Brother: Discrimination is when you treat someone unfairly just because you think you are better than them. Prejudice is just an opinion, discrimination is more of the things you do to people you have prejudices against.

Me: Have you witnessed any instances of discrimination?
Brother: I think I did see this instance of discrimination. My teacher always picked chinese students over students of other races during discussion and when asking for volunteers. Students of other races are deprives of some chances that Chinese students get.

Me: Overall, what are you opinions on prejudice and discrimination?
Brother: Being prejudiced or showing signs of discrimination gives people a rather bad impression of you, unless you live in a society that generally accepts the ideas. However, it is not a good idea to live by the prejudice and discrimination, regardless of the type of society you are in.
