No ideal or role model?

DrMFK · #1 Friday, July 03, 2015

As I was going through the posts of psychological tests, i found that they either ask you about your role model or ask about the persons who should not be role models. What if someone does not idealize anyone? how should he respond then?

there must be someone you liked or were influenced by. i remember how a cook influenced me and a taxi driver too.

there are always people you get influenced by, but most of the time you get influenced by one or two things and similarly by someone else some other things, then how many role models can one mention? In my opinion in such a case they cannot be said to be your ideal or role model as an ideal is one who influences a major aspect in one and when trapped between two opposites one looks towards them how they handles such situations.

another thing is that our society expects anyone's ideal or role model to be a known person, what then?

It since doesn't has to be known at all. It's not our problem if they don't know. They can always google it.
Like my role model is MAYSOON ZAYED. If people don't know her then that's not my problem.
Not having a memory will suggest either you were unprepared it not well read. U wouldn't suggest that approach.

Not having a mentor.
Stupid autocorrect is ruining my posts.

you could say you are your own role model. (narcissism or self confidence?)

It means one has to identify someone as his or her mentor and know the reason for selecting him. How about religious personalities, I heard or saw somewhere (i cannot exactly remember) that mentioning religious personalities is neither preferred nor encouraged?

or perhaps over confidence

Religious personalities aren't role models because when someone asks what is it that you have in common with them? We don't have much in common. They were flawless which we aren't.

if you can justify it, it will only show that you are happy and contended with who you are. that there are no vacuums in you. i think that should be a positive, no?
