Personality and success.

Consider for a moment that ones personality is shaped by social influences. First through family members and then by interactions with frameworks of wider societies. Consider that personality is broadly catagorized into type a and type b personalities, though I won't go into these methods of catagorization any further, there is another system that is used for grouping personalities. 

They are 

Openness to experience

Conscientiousness

Extraversion

Agreeableness

Neuroticism

It is possible for two very different people to produce the same outcomes of catagories until you delve deeper into the dynamics of personality.

Think of having a lazy person that sits around drunk most of the time and does not have the most agreeable of personalities, the other delves into the difficult world web development and dabbles with  software design yet is also not the most agreeable of people, they are very different people, should society prefer one to the other.

Now, consider the differences between land and coastal designs. What is under the water? In areas where the are high levels of sediment transportation this might not be  visable without the equipment of profession, the issue therefore might then be social standing, prehaps what another person does is ponder ways of preventing sediments reaching areas of natural beauty. 

personality should play a role in a persons interests or talents and also their ability to succeed or fail at what they do. Atleast it will have an influence on success.

This post focus' on the on personality, social class and compatability of tasks at hand.

The Weir's of Crump

Born in 1882 was the civil engineer Edwin Crump, interestingly he designed the self titled Crump weir, it is used to measure stream flows in open channels, he died in 1961. W.R White later studied the Crump weir.  The Crump weir is a "two dimentional triangular weir, it has has a horizontal crest in the transverse direction and a triangular shape in the streamwise direction", wikipedia . But, what exactly is a weir; "A weir is a small dam built across a river to control the upstream waterlevel".  Practical Engineering . It also draws to attention within the above linked blog post that it should be considered that water powered the mills of history for a long time. Consider also that weirs can help with the flow of boats that are also navigating the river, historically this would have been vital to trade. The relevance to my studies.

Imagining reality

 A little book that inspired me was  where realism and fantasy meet , it is infact a book for artists and although I'm not good at art  some of my finer unseen moments reside within this catagory. Think about the characters that are in stories, Jane Austen for example, whilst studying english  Pride and Prejudice , I noticed that there was a soldier and a clergy man. It seems as though inspiration could have come from two men that lived two centuaries before,  Edmwnd Prys  a clergy man and  Thomas Prys  a sailor and he was also a soildier (and poet). This may not seem like any great revelation to most that have studied history and Austens works. Neither then should it surprise anybody that  Edmund Burke  lived in Austen's time and so did  Thomas Clarkson . I went about looking for patterns of pairs or groups of people throughout history and alive in the modern world. This novel was written in the rough period of 200 years ago. A pat...

Quadratic Thought.

This description, is the birth of a thought and is not fully in formation, yet, for a first post it gives an example of a spardic note that my or may not correlate to further content. In my second post I intend to display how different the subject could be. Consider the four sections of a graph. Consider not, it's positive and negative values but rather see it as sections for expressing matters of society. At this early stage think less about populating the graph with batches of population data, but instead think of it as an area for the segregation of individuals. This example uses the y axis to describe educational level and the X axis for segregation of social class.  Example . Think of the planet Earth There is the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere. Each has a polar regions. In the northern hemisphere there is the north pole and in the southern hemisphere there is the south pole. Using the quadratic graph example above, without considering the ...
