Las Meninas

               The Las Meninas is an oil painting of a large room of the Madrid palace. The painter, Valazquez, painted himself along with the king, queen, their daughter (the princess), her maids of honor, two dwarfs, and their dog. This painting shows all of these people staring at a large canvas. Valazquez painted himself in the painting looking out at the viewer. He is standing in the back behind the canvas, admiring his work. In the middle is the princess. She is a young girl with fine golden hair, rosy cheeks and porcelain skin. She is also looking out at the viewer. Along side her are her two maids of honor, which are neither looking at the painting but looking at the princess. Next are two dwarfs. They are the closest to the viewer, and both looking out at me. They are standing next to the dog who is taking a nap on the floor. Behind them, are the king and queen. They are examining the painting with Valazquez. In the very back is a man, who I am not sure who he is. He looks like he has a suspicious look on his face, like he isn't supposed to be there.  It is said that the painting inside the painting is either of the princess or of her parents but it has never been confirmed.

ENFJ

The Jung Typology Test was spot on with how I perceive myself. I am classified as an ENFJ. ENFJ stands for extrovert, intuition, feeling, and judging. I would completely agree that I am an extrovert. This doesn't mean that I am just a social butterfly and like to talk a lot but it means that I am energized by being around others. Many believe that I am very shy but I am not. I am quiet at times because I like to observe others, the way they act and react to things.

This is followed by intuition and judging. I am very intuitive. I follow my instinct and have a great charterer judgment. It is easy for me to categorize characteristics of others by observing their actions. I am almost always right when I follow my instinct and judgment.

Next is feeling. I am not so much of a thinker as I am a feeler. This is completely accurate. My whole life throughout school I have always learned better through hands on activities vs. Visual and auditory. I often tend to make decisions off of my emotions and the way that I am feeling. This can help me to communicate very well with others.

This test states that I tend to use figurative or conversational language when I write, which is true. I often find myself writing about things that can relate to me personally or others around me. I use insight and creativity when writing and I easily generate topics to write about. I try to persuasively present my thoughts in the clearest manner possible. Sometimes I can struggle writing about impersonal issues. This test has been very helpful to me by showing me how to improve as a writer.
