CSS VS. No CSS

For this project I was given a basic sample website without CARP or CSS. I had to take that website and add CARP and CSS. As you can see it makes quite a big difference.

In the first screenshot you can see more colors than just black and white. This makes for more contrast throughout the page. It makes the body pop and helps differentiate the headings for each other and the main section. The heading and paragraphs are in different fonts as well.

The two headings are found in the middle to show importance. Everything else is left aligned so it is easier to read and looks nicer.

The two headings are the same color and the authors name at the bottom is the same color as the headings. This gives the page a little bit of repetition.

The headings and main section have space in between to show they aren't the same. The paragraphs in the main section are closer together though, to show that they are part of the same section. This gives the page good proximity.

As these two pages show CARP can make a very big difference. I learned that in CSS you can hit the plus next to properties and add a lot of things as long as you know what to type.

Personality tests

I took a Myers-Briggs style test on Humanmetrics to find out my personality type. I was the type INTP. This stands for Introvert, iNtuitive, Thinking, Perceiving. INTP's are generally quite and think a lot. They like to find their own way of doing things rather then doing what others do. They are often engaged in their own thoughts. Albert Einstein and Abraham Lincoln share this type.

I think that this type is pretty spot on for my personality. I find myself in my own head constantly and almost always look for the logical solution. I think it show some things I enjoy more as I would generally rather spend time alone or with a few friends rather than go to big parties or large gatherings.

I would tend to try to think of ways to accomplish things rather then being out in front. When I get this role in a group I will be more comfortable and probably more productive. When I don't get to fill this role I will be pushed out of my comfort zone and likely be more stressed or less productive.

I took a Lion, Otter, Beaver, Golden Retriever personality test next. My highest was otter and my second highest was beaver. I think that the description was somewhat accurate. I don't think I'm as social as it says the otter is but I think the goof around portion is accurate. I think the quality of the beaver to be a problem solver and curious to find ways to do things fits me but I'm not quite the perfectionist that the beaver is.
