Last year all of the eighth grade took a test to determine some of our strongest traits and characteristics. I got the traits Verbal, Analytical and Creative thinking. I don't think that these are my most prominent traits but I feel as though they are some traits I possess. First things first, Verbal. Being verbal is being able to express yourself well and with an advanced vocabulary. I personally agree with this trait especially within my age group because I don't see many people writing the way I write. I write very flowery, in fact I had a whole document dedicated to describing things with very flowery language. For instance if you said “the sky is pretty tonight” I could say “the darkness envelopes the evening sky like a blanket and the stars are holes that have been poked in the giant tapestry”.

Being analytical is being hyper critical and breaking things apart to observe all possible options. An example of being analytical is crime scenes. When detectives go through crime scenes they have to look at every piece of evidence and break it down to see it's meaning and weather or not it's important to the case. I agree with this trait but I feel like anyone could have this trait because it's so common everywhere you go, even in different thought processes, analytical thinking is present. My last trait is creative thinking. Now this I disagree with this almost completely because I don't consider myself a very creative person. I don't consider myself to be a really boring not creative person but I don't consider myself to be really creative. I see people all around me being as creative as creative gets and I see hardly any of that in me. Being creative means that you can make things up quickly and can also be very much your own thing and very much your own ideas. If you're creative you're used to thinking outside the box and you're good at it
