Speech for Tommorow -TM

I have a speech tommorrow. It's pretty sketchy. I haven't even typed up anything. Stupid zodiac signs. Step 1. was choose a category: W, A, E,or F that best described your personality. Then Step 2. as pick which list of adjectives in that category matched your personality. Then Step 3. was to go over your zodiac sheet and see if it fit your personality. Step 4. Commit to a sheet and see the result.

Guinea pig testing of this scientific process on friends on Facebook did not come out as I would have hoped :(

Grading System:
50% for Water/Earth or Air/ Fire correct
25% for Water, Earth, Air, Fire correct
36% for the right 1 of 3 from the right category

After that disaster I decided that this process wasn't working out. I had already re-done my first attempt to find a legitimate path for people to follow to get to their sign and this was my second attempt. Both attempts involved me going down to Office Max and printing out sheets for step 1, 2, and 3 to be given to 16 people. I have lots of printed sheets of paper now that fail achieve my goal. Craps.

All I can say is that it's a good thing I made an excel spread sheet of the zodiacs to better accompish my understanding of their basic differences. Jeez. Now I'm usuing two white boards to display and go over the main differences without giving any relation to the zodiac signs so it can be blind tested. Basically people will just write down numbers for natural tendencies they had and overcame or still have. By the end they should have the number associated with their sign. God willing.

By nature, are you:

Charming: 2 3 4 5 7 8 11 12
Sweet Talking/ Flirtatious: 1 4 5 9 10 11 12

*This means you have to pick one. The others you just add if they are a quality you believe is a strong natural tendency.

The white boards filled with these #s and Adjectives make me look like a spent a week in the movie A Beautiful Mind or something. I'm not crazy...

  1. Dear goodness I hope this turned out o.k. O.o Problem with zodiac signs is that there are too many outside factors that can mess it up. You and I are very much what are signs say but this is not normal.

  2. Yah, today was just gathering info. I was a little less organized than I would have hoped -the white biard didn't work and i found out too late how to organize the system on papaer. It was a little awkward, but I was definietly feeling more confident being up infront of everyone. People just kept complaining that they didn't know what the survey was for. I'll tell them in my next speech ;)
