What kind of person are you????
« on: July 27, 2003, 05:05:25 PM »
Are you a loner or a group-type or somewhere in between?
Now do you consider yourself a team bowler, individual bowler, or somewhere in between?

Somewhere in between/ team

I enjoy being part of a team. I am a "joiner" and love being part of a group, especially when the group treats me as an equal. However, in team sports, I always attempted to join teams where I was the worst player, so I could learn and gain knowledge from those better than I. At my advanced age, I still do this. LOVE to bowl on a scratch league where I am the worst bowler! Don't do nearly as well by myself in tournaments etc.

I think of myself as an individual who plays well with others.I have been accused of persuing personal goals (read refuse to sandbag)to the detriment of the team.I am always placed first or last in the line up because if I can't start it I love to finish it.I bowl team events for the comradary with no expectations but expect to place highly or win in individual competition.I choose a doubles partner carefully as I expect his/her will to win to match my own.

I'm a group type.  Best performances comes in team/doubles events.  Can't take a chance on letting my partner down so I pay attention.  

Singles, I tend to joke around, have fun.  Especially if I've already tanked the first game and knocked myself out of the competition.

I'm just a quiet, shy type person...Just ask Mike DeSantis and SrKegler
When it comes to bowling I am a team player, but also put pressure on myself to do well.  If I bowl bad and we win, it is easier to take the bad bowling.  If I bowl well and we lose, at least I know I did my part, the loss is no big deal.  BUT when I bowl bad and we lose, I take responsibility, sometimes probably more than I should at times.

If I like you, you know it.  If I don't like you, I will avoind having to talk to you.  I am a team player, but would rather bowl with friends as my team.  I have little patience for loud obnoxious people, but like people who have fun.  

Makes perfect sense, right??
