Maslow Assesment Test

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

For my class called “Theories of Personality” I was required to take the Maslow Assessment Test. It’s a personality test to determine how close one is to self-actualization, meaning feeling fulfilled and at one’s ultimate potential. Aberham Maslow was a psychologist who believed that basically most human beings were born good and desired to become the best they could be. In order to reach self-actualization, several basic needs must be satisfied. Once these basic needs, such as food, shelter, and safety, then one could focus on higher needs. I find this concept interesting and I would like to share with you all my results.

Maslow Inventory Results
Physiological Needs (24%) you appear to have everything you need to survive physically.
Safety Needs (24%) you appear to have a very secure environment.
Love Needs (10%) you appear to be content with the quality of your social connections.
Esteem Needs (30%) you appear to have a high level of personal competence.
Self-Actualization (58%) you appear to have an average level of individual development.

You can also take the test yourself by clicking on the above link. Satisfying a need doesn’t necessarily require 100% satisfaction.

Also, happy Halloween to you all! This used to be my favorite holiday when I was a kid. I loved dressing up in costumes and pretending to be someone else. Though during those days I didn’t really like life as much. Halloween was one way I could escape from my troubles. Now a days I much prefer Thanksgiving. Mostly for the food. It’s good to look at what you have and remember what you have to be thankful for.

“Another Night With My Weird Neighbor”

Here we have episode 2, so far it’s my personal favorite!

Midnight Psychology: “Weird Neighbor”

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

Well, finally I set aside some time to make my latest announcement which I was intending to do last week. I have been working on a somewhat secret project for the past few months. When I started writing, I wanted to focus on novels. I thought I wanted to break into the literary business. It was a fun and humbling experience to be sure. For the past few years I have been looking for new formats to show my creative side. I started writing short stories, then I did my first audio book, and finally thought about writing movie scripts. But then I thought about the internet, how amazing the things you can do with it! So, I came up with a new idea, an internet show sort of based on the television show format. I teamed up with my good friend, Mark Mushakian, and together we created “Midnight Psychology.”

The show is about a man named Robert MacDonwald who is a bit eccentric. One late night, Robert goes over to his neighbor’s house and asks him to video tape something. The curious and anxious neighbor Sam decides to see what’s up. What ensues can only be described as insanity and hilarity. The first episode is titled “Weird Neighbor” and can be found on YouTube. Or you can watch it right here! There are currently two episodes that are finished and posted. Two more episodes are in production. And hopefully many more to come!

Here is part 2 of the first episode:

I’ll be posting episode 2 on this site in a day or two. You can watch it now on YouTube at:
