My Personality Assessment

By a brainbench.com.

Your Social Boldness: Introverted VS Extraverted
You are slightly introverted. Do you ever say to people, "I'm really an introvert" and then they look at you funny? That's because you can be both Extraverted and introverted, but in social situations people see you as an Extravert. Your enthusiastic and self-confident personality, plus your ease at talking to strangers gives the appearance that you are outgoing, even though you may attribute it to just being a friendly person. You find yourself at the center of attention, even though you may not actively seek that position. You are such a warm person that people like to follow you. Which is good, since you have no problem accepting your role as a leader when it is given to you. With your ability to flow easily from shy to outgoing, you may tend to easily flow from exciting adventures to relaxing times at home. This makes you a fun person to be around, because you do not always have to be on the go, yet you know there is more to life than reading and watching TV.

Your Agreeableness: Candid VS Considerate
You are moderately candid. You know how people in a group tend to agree with each other so that no one is dissenting? Well, you are not one of those people. You are gifted with the ability to make tough and objective decisions, even if it goes against the popular consensus. At work, you are the maverick with your no-nonsense, self-reliant and independent nature. You have a realistic outlook on life, and as a result you are more tough-minded than tender-minded. You prefer if others are independent, because going out of your way to help someone who you know is capable of helping themselves is not particularly appealing to you. In social relationships, you tend to be somewhat guarded and will only reveal the real you once you trust the other person. Your level of self-esteem is admirable, and you would probably prefer if others were as confident, so that you would not have to take steps to boost their ego.

Your Self-Control: Impulsive VS Cautious
You are quite impulsive. You are an independent thinker. You do not need a book of rules to tell you how to behave - you know inside what is right and what is wrong and you act accordingly. You are able to live life spontaneously, because you are able to make decisions without endless deliberation. In fact, when you and another person are making a decision, you are able to reach a solution fairly quickly while the other person has to cautiously plan every step. Eventually, they will agree with you, which is frustrating when your first impulse is usually the correct one in the decision-making process. You tend to be a little more casual, and you do not feel out of sorts when your home or office is not perfectly neat. In general, your life is pleasurable - you know how to have fun and will never be accused of being staid or stuffy.

Your Anxiety Level: Excitable VS Relaxed
You are moderately excitable. In trying situations, you feel somewhat stressed and frustrated. At times you are able to overcome these feelings, but other times you feel overwhelmed. This could run the gamut of just being in a bad mood to experiencing anxiety, anger, or depression. In general, you prefer a stress-free existence, so that the possibility of negative emotions would not be a factor. You tend to be somewhat self-conscious in social situations, and are worried that people may judge or criticize you. You may react emotionally to people or circumstances that you find threatening, because you want to protect yourself. Every so often you cave into urges or cravings. Sometimes you feel a little guilty about it, other times you are just fine with your fun streak.

Your Openness to Change: Practical VS Imaginative
You are very practical. You want just the facts - keep it plain and simple. You are practical, pragmatic and well grounded. You have no time for carelessness and impracticality. You prefer to keep your emotions to yourself, rather than exposing your feelings to the world. Life moves along much better for you when you can maintain a schedule and have routine in your life. Unexpected surprises and chaos are a major inconvenience to you. You tend to be conservative and are somewhat resistant to change. Others respect your ability to act properly in your everyday life.

The way you Think/Reason: Concrete VS Abstract
You are quite concrete in your thinking. You tend to prefer the plain, straightforward, and obvious to the complex, ambiguous, and subtle. You might even regard the arts and sciences with suspicion, regarding these endeavors as abstruse or of no practical use. You believe that intellect should not be equated with intelligence, as intellect is an intellectual style, not an intellectual ability.

Dukungan Berhenti Merokok

Sadar ndre! Mungkin itu perkataan di dalam hati bagi mereka yang selalu mengingatkanku untuk berhenti merokok, sebenarnya Allah telah menegurku melalui mereka, tetapi "nafsuku" untuk merokok lebih kuat daripada teguran yang ditujukan kepadaku...
Di dalam hati aku bersyukur bagi mereka yang telah mengingatkanku, seperti temanku Syifa yang setiap melihatku merokok ia selalu bilang "Katanya mau berhenti?..." atau "Udah berapa batang kak?". Tapi ia tak bisa mengingatkanku lagi secara langsung karena sudah resign dari kantor...
Jadi ingat dulu pernah juga ada teman sekantor (udah resign juga) namanya pak Wawan, bilang kalo kita merokok sama aja menghancurkan hadiah dari pacar kita, umpamanya... ia hanya mengingatkan???....
Paru-paru adalah karunia dari Allah yang terbesar, tanpanya manusia takkan bisa hidup, tentunya Allah memberikan paru-paru yang sehat karena kasih dan sayangnya... tapi perokok menginjak-injak pemberian ini?
Ya Allah, ampunilah aku dan semoga aku dapat sadar bahwa engkau selalu mengingatkanku terutama untuk kedua orang temanku dan bahkan atasanku (hik2) juga mengingatkan... "nggak biasanya Andre merokok??", untuk memberikan pahala kepada mereka.
"Kalo mau berhenti ya berhenti aja ndre..." itu kata Fanni.

Huh! What a big give that i should stop smoking....


Can I do it????


Or just bullshit am I????

Thx guys ^_^

Manajemen Pengubahan

Change Management. Suatu tahapan SDLC yang sering terabaikan oleh para konsultan IT, terutama terkait dengan studi kelayakan proyek (begitu kata teman saya).
Saya cukup menyadari apabila seorang programmer dengan khasnya menyimpan beberapa folder terkait dengan versi-versi pengubahannya terhadap source code. Hal ini dapat disebabkan oleh kurangnya inisiatif untuk mengelola versi dari file source code sedang dikerjakan.
Terhadap kebutuhan user pun apabila terhadap permintaan yang berkaitan dengan pengembangan dan implementasi aplikasi selayaknya ditinjau dengan menerbitkan suatu dokumen bernama change request. Selain gunanya untuk mendokumentasikan, dokumen ini berguna untuk mentrasir suatu permintaan baik dari pihak user maupun konsultan untuk selalu memantau permintaan mereka dan pengubahan (action) yang dilakukan.
Saya sempat membaca mengenai CoBIT, suatu standar yang diterapkan untuk pengendalian tata kelola IT (IT Governance) yang membahas mengenai manajemen ini, di situ dibahas mengenai suatu perangkat lunak yang seharusnya dinamakan SCM (software configuration management) seperti dari IBM ada Rational dan dari opensource ada Tortoise, saya mengusulkan ini karena terkait dengan disain yang selalu update dimana pemantauan bisa dilakukan atas disain dan source code.

Project PLN

Wheeeew, begitu kalo kata Ade orang konsultan Medina yang sedang mengerjakan call center di PLN. Kerjaan yang membutuhkan tenaga dan pikiran memang melelahkan tapi selama diridhoi oleh Allah mah nggak masalah... palagi anak buah gw dua orang cewek yang jujur aja asik dan cantik2 hehehe. Ups!
Btw di PLN ini saya mengkaji sistem CRMnya mereka kemudian menghitung yang namanya mandays, sebenarnya sih tidak sulit yah... tapi objek2 di dalamnya itu tuh, heran sampe menghasilkan laporan gw yang setebal 200 halaman!
Itu baru screen aja, belum ke database.....

Alhamdulillah sekarang ini sudah mencapai draft untuk laporan final karena jatahnya cuman 2 bulan (kalo kata temanku 'cumang' hehehe) trus molor jadi 3 bulan lebih karena banyak dan kompleks.

Do'akan agar proyek ini berhasil diselesaikan dan insyaallah seminggu lagi.

Salam....
