When I was at CSU and in SL I took Emergenetics and my results said I was red/green. At the time I didn't want to accept that because I'm an engineer and that's blue thinking so it had to be wrong, right? Well, fast forward to last semester and it hit me, Emergenetics was right. I am not a blue thinker. I can do blue thinking but not for very long, which was the problem I was having because the majority of AERO [Aerospace Engineering] classes are that type of thinking. I could barely handle one AERO class by itself, so taking four at the same time nearly killed me, which led me back to my Emergenetics results when I was trying to figure out why. When I thought about the way I think as a red/green thinker it made sense. I like solving problems, figuring out ways to fix things, make things faster, more efficient, and I like working with people (I discovered that in my volunteer work). So after determining that my current major no longer fit, I started looking at other engineering fields and the only one that really fits my personality is Industrial. They don't design products and parts (all the icky math stuff) but look at existing products and systems and figure out ways to make them better or more efficient. It focuses more on the people side of engineering like making a product work better stuff like that.

Thanks for having me take Emergenetics. Knowing what my thinking preferences are and what they mean really helps me.
