Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Ice Breakers

    I was in a teacher training class the other night and we were discussing ice breakers (ways to get a classroom going and ease tension). This particular one seemed to work for most people and it was atleast somewhat accurate.

    You take a pink standard piece of paper (i dont think collor matter) and ask the class to draw a pig. You can do this with anyone doesnt need to be in a class or anything. The following sheet will help you interprut the results.

    The Pig Personality Profile
    Use the following data to interpret the meaning of your pig. Let’s see how accurate
    this interpretation of how others see you and how you see yourself!
    1) If the pig is drawn towards the top of the paper you are perceived as a positive
    and optimistic person by others.
    2) If the pig is drawn towards the middle of the page you are perceived as a realist.
    3) If the pig is drawn towards the bottom of the page, you are perceived as a
    pessimistic person and have the tendency to behave negatively under pressure.
    4) If the pig is facing to the left, you believe in tradition, are friendly and
    remember dates and birthdays.
    5) If the pig is facing forward (towards you) you are a direct person; neither fear
    nor avoid discussion and enjoy “stirring the pot” to promote change.
    6) If the pig is facing to the right you are innovative, creative and active; you have
    a poor memory of dates and birthdays.
    7) If the pig is drawn with many details you see yourself as analytical and cautious.
    Others must work hard to earn your trust and to keep it.
    8) If the pig is drawn with few details you are a risk taker; wear your emotions on
    your sleeve and care little for the details in life.
    9) If the pig is drawn with (four) 4 legs showing you are secure, stick to your
    beliefs and have been told at least once in your life that you are stubborn.
    10) If the pig is drawn with less than 4 legs showing you are living through a
    period of major change in your life.
    11) The larger the pigs ears you have drawn, the better listener you are.
    12) And last but not least…the longer the pig’s tail that you have drawn (including
    loops) the more satisfied you are with the quality of your personal relationships.

    According to my drawing (hey, I'm pretty sure I was dropped on my head and the artistic part of my brain suffered, lol)

    Anyhow...

    2) If the pig is drawn towards the middle of the page you are perceived as a realist.

    5) If the pig is facing forward (towards you) you are a direct person; neither fear
    nor avoid discussion and enjoy “stirring the pot” to promote change.

    8) If the pig is drawn with few details you are a risk taker; wear your emotions on
    your sleeve and care little for the details in life.

    10) If the pig is drawn with less than 4 legs showing you are living through a
    period of major change in your life.

        Re: Ice Breakers

        I agree with your conclusion kanada lol.
        My pig was in the middle
        If the pig is drawn towards the middle of the page you are perceived as a realist.
        I had my pig facing right
        If the pig is facing to the right you are innovative, creative and active; you have
        a poor memory of dates and birthdays.
        it had only 2 leggs
        If the pig is drawn with less than 4 legs showing you are living through a
        period of major change in your life.
        The ears were fairly large
        The larger the pigs ears you have drawn, the better listener you are
        the tail was pretty loopy
        And last but not least…the longer the pig’s tail that you have drawn (including
        loops) the more satisfied you are with the quality of your personal relationships.

          I have a problem drawing pigs


          "All truth passes through three stages:
          First, it is ridiculed;
          Second, it is violently opposed; and
          Third, it is accepted as self-evident."

            Re: Ice Breakers

            That's the problem with this test. You are limited to: A. Your drawing abilities, and/or B. Your ability to recall what the thing you're drawing looks like. This in turn dictates how you do other things, like the direction of the pig. For someone that doesn't recall much of how the shape of a pigs body is formed, they may just draw a face facing you like Andre did, and so on.

            With that said, this is the first time I've drawn anything in many years, and it shows. I'm rusty as hell.

              I think the drawings are cute but since you can see the key you can draw your pig accordingly and thus invalidate test-exercise. This is something you can do with others just dont show them the key untill after they draw the pig.

                I was going to say, you probably should have waited to post the "results" of the way you drew your pig till after a few examples, but regardless, this is exactly what I had in mind when I first read "draw a pig". I just decided to actually draw it instead of just envisioning it, so for me at least, the "results" didn't really affect my drawing.

                    Re: Ice Breakers

                    Thus far i think both Ifemale and crimson can draw pretty decent while kanadahye is more at my level. Yes i wish i could make it so you get the key after you draw the pig but i don't know how to do that so...
