So I've been told by people i'm quite the complicated person, but others have told me I'm quite straightforward, so i'll be unravelling things about myself week by week, through prose, pictures and anything i find interesting xP. So here's to unravelling the so-called 'mystery' Umair. Kanpai! I said all that but i'm really doing this for the fantastic brand-spanking-new scheme: Spark & Mettle

Week 3, Task 1: Test Thy Mettle

Firstly I’d like to start off by apologising for being a bit over 2 weeks late with this post, things have been crazy at home.

but to begin with our first task was to do this ridiculously childish quizz (no offense, but it really was), to see what our level of mettle/grit/resilliance (whatever you’d like to call it) was.

So after answering these 12 childish questions, (i keep referring to them as childish, as some of the questions that were given were specifically meant for a child). the result that i was given….

and in hind-sight i’m not surprised by the result…

was…

yes, i’m trying to build as much suspense as possible, as that’s what i feel like doing…

but back to my point…

my result was…

My resiliance level is: High!

though i wasn’t suprised by that, the description did slightly annoy me slightly (i guess is the word) by saying are you Simon Cowell? As it really brought down the integrity of the description in my opinon.

But the description given was…

Are you Simon Cowell? No? You’re clearly someone very focussed on your goals. You’ve got a very high “grit score” and that means you can sacrifice short-term stuff and work towards your dreams without being distracted. A high grit-score can be a better indicator of future success than high IQ. Just one thing: remember to have some fun along the way, because developing strong positive relationships is also important when times get tough.

and for those of you that would like to have a go at it here’s the link for you:
