On the first assessment I got the following results: Solitude- 17, Intimacy with friends - 25, Reserve- 17, Isolation- 10, Intimacy with Family- 24, Anonymity- 20. These results indicate that I have a greater preference for intimacy with friends, intimacy with friends, and anonymity. I believe this comes from the way my childhood home was set up and the values that it encouraged. We had a small home that required my siblings and I to share bedrooms at times. Additionally, our bedrooms were also small and not spacious so we spent most of our time in common areas such as the living room or the basement where our playroom was. We had two computers in our home, one in the living room and one in the basement playroom. Even when we were playing on the computer or doing homework individually, we were typically surrounded by the other members of our family. I am not surprised that my results for solitude and isolation were lower, as I still do not prefer to be alone even as an adult. On the second assessment I got a score of 43, indicating polychronic orientation. The layout of my childhood home contributes to this also. The textbook explains, "Many P-time homes, on the other hand, may be defined by one large living area. In traditional Japanese homes, for example, the main living area is a single room where the entire family eats, sleeps, and interacts as a group." (Neuliep, 146) My family did not rely heavily on schedules, and we did prioritize relationships over schedules. I have had experiences in class where my classmates sit too closely to me, and it has always made me feel nervous and uncomfortable. In the past, when I have felt uncomfortable being too close to someone I will gently move away or change position. I feel like it is important to respect my own personal need for space without being rude to someone else. I think it is really interesting to learn about all of the reasons why a person would have a certain size of personal space they are comfortable with. When this happens in the future, I will be more understanding of what factors could contribute to that and be sure to be respectful of our differences. During my years of high school, I was often told by teachers that I needed to work on time management even though I never had a late assignment. I got good grades and turned in my work on time, but my teachers watched me wait until the last minute to work on things. Although my result indicated polychronic orientation, I think I have a blend of the two. I'm very rarely late to anything, even as a mom of two young children. I take time commitments seriously, but I also know that it is unrealistic to force things to be done within a certain timeframe. I am almost always multitasking. I remember taking Japanese class and learning about the ways they follow a monochronic orientation, specifically with the train schedules that are mentioned in the textbook. The thought of the rigid schedules would make me very nervous to travel there, especially in a place where I am unfamiliar. The textbook describes, "So, the Japanese tend to blend monochronic and polychronic time orientations. In many ways, the clock is rigid, as in the train schedules and factory productivity, but in their personal and professional relationships, flexibility governs out of respect for the others’ time." (Neuliep, 148) I feel that my outlook on time is similiar to the blend in Japan. please help reply to this discussion post

The author of this discussion post offers insights into their sense of time and preferred personal spaces, making connections to their childhood and cultural influences. The author's initial assessment findings show a tendency towards intimacy with friends and family as well as a propensity for secrecy. These inclinations have their origins in their early memories of intimate family interactions in a compact environment. Additionally, the results of the second examination point to a poly chronic orientation, which was affected by a family dynamic that valued relationships above following strict routines.
