| |
− |
| |
− | E. How do your relatives and friends view your present occupation?
| |
− |

| |
− | fault somehow, but I don't know what to say..
| |
− |
| |
− | F. Who/what had the most personal direct influence on your life?
| |
− | (person or experience)
| |
− |
| |
− | I came back from the war a different person. I... lost something there.
| |
− | A certain confidence or ability to handle
| |
− | conflict. I have become... timid?... in some way... I'm not sure I can
| |
− | explain it.
| |
− |
| |
− | V. Skills.
| |
− |
| |
− | A. What, in your opinion, do you do the best?
| |
− |
| |
− | Think.
| |
− |
| |
− | B. How do you relax?
| |
− |
| |
− | Thinking.
| |
− |
| |
− | C. What do you do that you would like to improve on?
| |
− |
| |
− | I would like to be a great and renowned economist.
| |
− |
| |
− | VI. Personal.
| |
− |
| |
− | A. Best friend.
| |
− |
| |
− | None. I seem to push people away... or they feel some aversion to me...
| |
− |
| |
− | B. Worst enemy.
| |
− |
| |
− | Myself?
| |
− |
| |
− | C. Current girl/boy friend.
| |
− |
| |
− | None.
| |
− |
| |
− | I. What is your code of honor?
| |
− |
| |
− | I like the term "negative utilitarianism." One should avoid causing harm
| |
− | to others. At the same time, I
| |
− | think people ought to be more polite and considerate of others than
| |
− | they are... however, I don't think anyone has
| |
− | a moral duty to positively assist another... more that one should take
| |
− | precautions not to harm someone even in a small
| |
− | manner. It is better to forgo a large boon to one person to avoid a
| |
− | small harm to another.
| |
− |
| |
− | J. Is there anything you absolutely will not do?
| |
− |
| |
− | I'd like to think so, but I believe one can't know unless put to the
| |
− | test.
| |
− |
| |
− | K. Do you have any fears or phobias?
| |
− |
| |
− | I possess a certain frailty or timidity... I'm not sure if it is
| |
− | cowardice.
| |
− |
| |
− | L. What are your weaknesses?
| |
− |
| |
− | There are too many to delineate. I hate contradictions, yet I am
| |
− | simultaneously self-aggrandizing and self-deprecating.
| |
− | I admire strength of character, but fear that I do not possess it. I
| |
− | possess many...gifts... but I have accomplished
| |
− | nothing. I seem unable to form a connection with others.
| |
− |
| |
− | N. At present, what is the most important thing to you?
| |
− |
| |
− | To make something of my self... anything?
| |
− |
| |
− | O. To what lengths would you go to achieve a goal?
| |
− |
| |
− | Probably not far enough.
| |
− |
| |
− | P. List bad habits.
| |
− |
| |
− | I prefer the path of least resistance. This causes me to be lazy and to
| |
− | possess poor follow-through. I am too sedentary
| |
− | for my own good. Truly, any bad habit that derives from laziness...
| |
− |
| |
− | Q. List personal quirks.
| |
− |
| |
− | Hmmm. I haven't noticed any, but perhaps an outside observer would be
| |
− | able to take note of the things that I feel
| |
− | are quite natural.
| |
− |
| |
− | R. List vices.
| |
− |
| |
− | I possess none of what are considered "vices."
| |
− |
| |
− | S. List good qualities.
| |
− |
| |
− | I am intelligent. I am earnest. I believe ideas are important. I am
| |
− | polite. I am amiable (but not caring). I don't ask much of others.
| |
− |
| |
− | T. List favorite: color, food, clothing, weapons, drink, books,
| |
− | music, etc.
| |
− |
| |

| |
− | Economist-- Ludwig von Mises

− | Sport-- Tennis
| |
− |
| |
− | U. What morals do you have?
| |
− |
| |
− | I would never intentionally harm another sentient being.
| |
− |
| |
− | V. Describe your general personality.
| |
− |
| |
− | Amiable. Outspoken, yet quick to retreat. Witty, but not naturally
| |
− | funny. Often emotionless, but unexpectedly passionate at times.
| |
− |
| |
− | VII. Occupational.
| |
− |
| |
− | A. What was your greatest failure?
| |
− |
| |
− | I have never accomplished anything of note.
| |
− |
| |
− | B. What was your greatest triumph?
| |
− |
| |
− | None.
| |
− |
| |
− | C. What have you done that was considered "outstanding" in your chosen
| |
− | occupation by others in the same field?
| |
− |
| |
− | Nothing.
| |
− |
| |
− | D. How do you get along with others in the same occupation?
| |
− |
| |
− | They are fools who have abdicated their responsibility as economists.
| |
− |
| |
− | E. How important is success in your occupation?
| |
− |
| |
− | Of the utmost importance.
| |
− |
| |
− | G. What are you willing to do to obtain these goals?
| |
− |
| |
− | Study reasonably hard.
| |
− |
| |
− | VIII. Travel.
| |
− |
| |
− | A. Do you get: seasick, airsick, motionsick - auto or animal back?
| |
− |
| |
− | Seasick. Airsick. Have not ridden any animal before.
| |
− |
| |
− | B. Do you like riding animals - horses, camels, etc.?
| |
− |
| |
− | They are dirty and smelly.
| |
− |
| |
− | C. Any fears about traveling?
| |
− |
| |
− | Fear of getting lost. I have no sense of direction. In a city it is not
| |
− | a problem. In the wilderness, I have no
| |
− | relevant survival skills.
| |
− |
| |
− | D. What steps would you take to travel overseas?
| |
− |
| |
− | Oh, probably get a passport, I suppose.
| |
− |
| |
− | E. What sort of general equipment would you take, excluding personal
| |
− | items such as clothing?
| |
− |
| |
− | Probably some books and some writing instruments. A reasonable sum of
| |
− | cash would probably be prudent.
