Lying and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them, Class #1, Monday Afternoon, Park

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

Jarod stood in front of the class, a little more nervous about teaching this particular subject. He handed out the syllabus, then some informational sheets, worksheets, and #2 pencils. "Good afternoon. I'm Jarod, and I'll be your instructor for the next seven weeks. Hopefully the class will be both fun and educational for everyone. In our first class, we'll be looking at who you are: If you're looking to play a role, you have to know yourself, to know which roles are best for you. If you're looking to catch a conman, you have to know how to get inside their head, which is generally called profiling and will be something that you'll have to get into with a different teacher."

"So, today, you'll be taking a personality profile. Once you have those results, check out
this guide of career choices based on that profile. It'll be easier for you to play a part if it's natural to you. If you're looking for a conman, it'll be easier to predict which careers he or she might gravitate towards."

"Have fun, and ask me any questions, but today's just a way to get started."

[ooc: Same as before, no Jarod interaction until tomorrow after 6 pm.]

Week 2: Learning the Lingo: Every profession has its own jargon. Class will be held in the Library.

Week 3: Lying without Lying: How to tell the truth. Just slightly shaded.

Week 4: The Bluff: Oops. You're clueless and stuck. Now what?

Week 5: Finding Confederates: Which friends do you want or need to make to help you?

Week 6: Dressing the Part: What you wear can support the lie and inspire trust. Class will hopefully be held at Stuff for Sale.

Week 7: Knowing When to Get Out: Someone's always on your tail or about to catch on. Learn the signals and how to trust your instincts.

Week 8: The Pretend Putting it all Together: See how you do. Class will hopefully be held in the Danger Shop.

Getting to know all about you...

"Apparently, I'm an ESTP. Except I think that putting everyone into sixteen categories is a little silly and unrealistic."

"Was it on-target, or way off?"

"INTJ," Tyler mumbled. "But I agree with Briar, it's bull."

"I don't know. It's pretty scarily accurate with me," Rory said quietly. "What's the T stand for?"

Parker glared at her results. "ENTJ. Field Marshal.... and okay, nothing Sydney hasn't said to me before, but..." It was the trademark quote that was throwing her: "I'm really sorry you have to die."

Everything else was scarily accurate.

"INFJ. I'm always INFJ," Rory noted.

"Introvert Intuitive Feeling Judging, right?" Parker cocked her head. "I get INTJ sometimes, but that's when I'm cranky and hating the universe."

"ENFP. So I'm supposed to be a writer?"

Re: Take the Myers-Briggs Test and Discuss the Results

"Or an activist? 'Advisor,'" Parker read off the page. "Journalist. Actress.... That could be fun."

"I'm an ISTP," says Jaye, who might have been trying to talk back really quietly to her quiz the whole time. "Go, me."

"So you're exactly like me only introverted?" Briar asked with a grin.

"Okay, I'm an ENTP: Extroverted Intuitive Thinking Perceiving." Jack paused and smirked. "Or, Enticingly Near to Perfect."

"Hey, we're only one letter off from being the same."

Overhearing, Cameron just rolled his eyes.

"I don't know, I think the results are pretty accurate," Jaye says, once she's done eavesdropping and eyerolling.

"I'm an 'ESFP' according to this thing... But it doesn't say 'Pirate' on the list of jobs... It does say Navy Officer though... And... Clergymen?"

"ESFJ," Joxer said. "Excellent Sexy Fantastic Joxer." He chuckled. "But this isn't telling me I should be a mighty warrior, so I think it's completely bogus."

"I'm an ESTJ (http://keirsey.com/personality/sjet.html) which is almost right but I hate quizzes like this."

Re: Take the Myers-Briggs Test and Discuss the Results

[pure-blooddraco.livejournal.com]

"ESTJ. Seems right but I don't take too much stock in these things." says Draco "Lawyer seems about right too."

"ESJF (http://keirsey.com/personality/sjef.html)," Cameron blinked as he read the career choices (http://www.teamtechnology.co.uk/careers/esfj.htm). "I don't think so."

"ISFP. Which includes armed forces, so I guess there is something to all this."

"I'm INFJ. Apparently I can be a writer, trainer, teacher, or in human resources," Peter said. "Seems kind of appropriate, I guess."

Of course, his definition of "human resources" was rather different than most people's.

"Huh, ENTJ." D said to herself. "Well, at least writer/editor is sorta close to what I want to do."

"ENFJ, huh?" Elizabeth tilted her head curiously at her results. "I suppose that's me. Mostly at least. And the teaching bit's correct."
