An Image Personality Test

We all know that personality tests exist. Most of the time they are long lists of questions and answers that can at times be tedious. However, this designer created a personality test based on your preference of different images. She believes that this can tell a lot about your personality. Why not take the test and see if it’s an accurate portrayal of you?

The Concept of Time

Time is a cultural, personal, and above all relevant. This interesting article on time looks at how our minds perceive time no matter where we are from. We have all had those experiences where a moment seems to last forever, or time seems to ‘fly.’ Read about how our minds warp our conception of time.

Booming Brazil

People from around the world are flocking to Brazil. Brazil right now is thriving with economic development in preparation for the World Cup, the Olympics, and many new companies are bringing their business to Brazil where the economy is doing well and steady. In Sao Paulo it’s not difficult to be out one night and hear at least 4 or 5 languages in popular locations. Portuguese of course is the dominant language, but there are large communities of English, French, Spanish, and German speakers as well in Sao Paulo.

The New York Times wrote an interesting article about this migration here in Sao Paulo.
