What is a chameleon personality?
What does it mean when you have a chameleon personality?
Most Helpful Opinion
As a chameleon changes its color to blend in with it's surrounding so does someone with that personality. If they are hanging out with some virtuous Christians they too well act virtuous. However, if they hang out with some hard core rebels they will change their personality to fit in.
So its like having two personalities then?
- Show Older Hide Older
Sorry ignore "the" before subconsciously😁
Oh and I'm not a guy but it's the same for girls and guys
What Guys Said 2
I am *guilty* of this -
A chameleon personality :: the person can adapt to his / her surroundings and "blend in" to make others more comfortable, its not necessarily a bad trait - but if used the improper way it can have a devistating effect.
An example including my own actions:
I can go to a "hick" party (country folk) and speak just like them and talk about cars, making myself not look like a "green thumb" (country folk talk for "noob")
A bad example with my friend:
He can go up and read someones personality by body language and then act a certain way to "use" them (if you don't catch my drift, he gets them to bed rather quickly)
There are several ups-and-downs about this characteristic but its merely something everyone does but they aren't aware of. No one wants to be seen as a negative so they change those traits into positives, this would be a clean example of how the chameleon personality applies to everyone in general ^_^ Keep in mind there are still stubborn people that won't change for anyone or anything.
Thanks for reading~
Thank you for the award ^_^ If I can be of further assistance let me know~
You are so welcome!!!! :)

I was a looking for an inexpensive getaway so I purchased a Living Social coupon for the Hibiscus Beach Club and Resort in St Croix. I reviewed its website and determined that it was not a fancy hotel. The least I expected was a clean room, a bed, a clean bathroom and air conditioning. I was right about the bed.
The word "resort" in the hotel name is extremely misleading. There is nothing resembling a resort in this hotel. There are water stains and mold in the shower and the toilet (see photo). The drain cover in the shower is not attached to the shower (see photo). There are water stains and mold surrounding the base of the shower (see photo). The shower leaked water into the bedroom during each shower. There are water stains and mold surrounding the base of the patio door. It took all my strength to open and close the patio door because of the rust. The patio was in poor shape and possibly not properly secured to the building (see photo). The room did not have real hangers - it had hangers from KMART, complete with the S, X, XL and XXL tabs still on them (see photo). There was no safe to secure your valuables so we took our valuables with us when we left the room. The electrical box was covered in rust (see photo). We learned later of the faulty electrical system in the hotel. The roofs on the building needs repair (see photo) and the exterior of the buildings needs repair and painting.
On the first day (Monday), I ate at the bar and restaurant in the hotel. The menu was very limited. They often ran out of certain food and liquor at the bar. I got familiar with the staff and they quickly informed me that the sons of the former owner of the hotel took over the hotel in 2013 and the hotel has been in bad shape every since. The employees feared that the sons may soon file for bankruptcy. I met a local gentleman who used to do security for the hotel but quit working with the hotel when the hotel checks began to bounce.
On a few occasions, the office staff did not come to work. When they did come to work, they arrived late and left early. The owners came to the property every night to party and were always intoxicated.
On the second night (Tuesday), we woke up early so we could hit the beach. Unfortunately, we discovered that the power and the water were not working in the hotel. We assumed the issue was island-wide because of the storm the previous night but that was not the case. The hotel next door had power. We went without power and water until 1 pm on Tuesday. As such, we could not shower and had no air conditioning that entire time.
On the fourth day (Thursday), we were laying in bed when we heard a pop and saw sparks fly from the walls and the ceiling fan. The sparks from the ceiling fan landed on my bed. Thankfully, the bed did not catch fire. We then saw a second set of sparks burst from the ceiling fan. Despite the fact that the owners and managers live on the property, we could not reach them to help us with the problem. Instead, the owner of the restaurant came to our room but he was unable to repair the ceiling fan. The ceiling fan did not work for the rest of the trip.
On the fifth night (Friday), the power went out again. The power was restored hours later. Friday evening, we discovered a roach in our room. Just when we didn't think it could get any worse, there were a series of power surges in the room that night. During the first power surge, the lamps and air conditioning went off and on. Then there was a surge in the other lamps and the TV. Three of the four lamps in the room and the air conditioning never worked again. When I approached the hotel owner about the ceiling fan, lamp and air conditioning, he denied being an owner even though the staff pointed him out as an owner and he previously identified himself as an owner to my friend. At first he refused to send someone to my room to fixed the ceiling fan, lamps and air conditioning. When I complained again, he sent the hotel manager who was unable to fix the problem and was unable to move us to another room, probably because (as we found out later) nine other rooms also lost use of their air conditioning.
On Saturday (sixth night), I repeatedly called the front office to get someone to fix the air conditioning. After three requests, they finally sent the maintenance man to our room but he was unable to fix the ceiling fan, lamps and air conditioning. We suffered Friday, Saturday and Sunday without air conditioning. We were forced to sleep with the bathroom window and patio door open for air. That did not do much to cool off the room and we woke up to discover several dozen moths and other bugs in our room.
We checked out on the seventh day (Sunday) at noon. We asked to speak the manager or the owners about compensation for the issues we had during our stay. We were informed by the hotel staff that we could not speak with them because they were probably still asleep. The staff member said she tried reaching them all day but they were not picking up the phone.

The fourth installment in the Joshua series, Joshua and the City reaches some encouraging and very important conclusions. In an urban community where poverty, senseless violence, racism, and AIDS seem like insurmountable problems, Joshua manages to sow seeds of renewal with his words of love. He reaches out to every person with transforming openness, showing how to regenerate the city and bring about undreamed-of economic revitalization. Yet many other problems remain that money cannot help. And it is, most importantly, to these that Joshua addresses his healing message. In a world of despairing doubt, Joshua and the City gives the reader hopeful answers that lead toward peace and understanding.
Joseph F. Girzone retired from the active priesthood in 1981 for health reasons and embarked on a successful second career as a writer and international speaker. His bestselling books include Joshua: The Homecoming, A Portrait of Jesus, and Never Alone…. More about Joseph F. Girzone

Babies who were exposed to smoke while in the womb had a 50% greater likelihood of being hospitalized or dying from infections than babies whose mothers did not smoke during their pregnancy, according to a study of 50,000 babies born in Washington state. Prenatal smoking may leave babies' immune systems weak, making them more vulnerable to a wide range of infectious diseases, researchers said. The findings are to be presented at the AAP meeting and were published in the journal Pediatric Infectious Diseases.

It is no small endeavor to have a work shop of that scale for a crowd of that caliber, and you made it a hit. Thank you for all you do for the Association, your commitment and communications are outstanding, and your events are rewarding to attend as well as having useful content. I can confidently say the only way that can think of to improve upon it on my end would be to bring more staff from BHCC next time. Thank you again!"

Three outstanding chapters were honored at the 87th World Conference in Orlando. Many chapters worked hard to fill the top spots, a fact that was reflected in the close races in each of the chapter categories. However, only one chapter in each size category was able to earn the title of 2013 Chapter of the Year.
Medium Chapter of the Year: Detroit Chapter
Congratulations to these chapters on this time-honored achievement. To reward the winning chapters' efforts, we are eligible to receive a Club Management Institute-endorsed grant for $3,000 sponsored by The Club Foundation. All three chapter of the year winners were also recognized at the Awards and Conference Finale with a trophy and will have their names engraved on the overall Chapter of the Year trophy, which is displayed at CMAA National Headquarters! There were many outstanding entries. While all chapters are automatically entered into this award program, only those chapters submitting a chapter résumé are eligible to win. This piece helps the judging committee to better recognize the unique accomplishments of each chapter. Impressive accomplishments were abundant – all CMAA members should be proud of the level of excellence that exists within the Association's chapter system.
The DCMA also finished second in Membership Growth behind the St. Louis Chapter. The DCMA also took second place for the medium chapter category in the Excellence in Education Awards.
Congratulations to the DCMA on winning this most prestigious award. It would not have been possible without the support of every single member of the Chapter.

The device comprises electronic means (2, 3) for querying a transmitter-receiver circuit (1) carried by a person wishing to open the said door, for recognising a predetermined code sent in reply by the said circuit and for subsequently commanding the removal of a locking pin (10) from a catch (11) of a door latch (8) forming part of the lock, and means for the activating of the electronic means (2, 3) by the said person. The said activating means (13) are designed for operating a dialogue between the said electronic means (2, 3) and the circuit (1) and the optional unlocking of the door latch (8) of the lock before the said person's action on the handle (6) causes the door to be blocked by the friction of the pin (10) in the said catch (11) of the door striker (8).
1. In an access control system controlling access to a space closed by a door equipped with a lock and a handle for operating a lock bolt of the lock, the lock including a locking pin engaging a notch formed in the lock bolt, an access control device comprising:
an electronic device for interrogating an emitter/receiver circuit carried by a person wishing to open the door and, upon recognizing a predetermined code emitted by said circuit, for causing the locking pin to be withdrawn from the notch in the lock bolt;
an activating switch, connected to said electronic device, enabling the person to trigger a dialog between the electronic device and the circuit and, upon recognizing the predetermined code, causing a withdrawal of the pin from the notch in the lock bolt before a force exerted on the handle causes the pin to become stuck by friction in the notch of the lock bolt, said activating switch including at least one switch disposed on a surface of the handle such that said switch is triggered when the person's hand comes into contact with the handle, and wherein a time period from the triggering of the switch to an unlocking of the bolt is less than a time period starting from an instant when the handle is touched to an instant when enough friction has been created to render the pin stuck in the notch of the bolt as a result of the force exerted on the handle.
2. The device according to claim 1, wherein said activating switch includes a plurality of mutually aligned switches electrically connected in parallel.
3. The device according to claim 1, wherein said switch is an electrical switch selected from the group consisting of a flexible keypad switch and a capacitive-effect switch.
4. The device according to claim 1, wherein said activating switch is disposed on the handle so as to be substantially invisible from outside.
5. In combination, a motor vehicle and the access-control system according to claim 1, wherein the door is a door of the motor vehicle and the lock is a motor vehicle access lock.
The present invention relates to a device for controlling access to a space closed by a door, such as a motor vehicle cabin for example and, more specifically, to such a device comprising electronic means for interrogating an emitter/receiver circuit worn or carried by a person wishing to open said door, to recognize a predetermined code emitted in response by said circuit and to then cause a locking pin to be withdrawn from a notch in a bolt that forms part of the door lock, and means by which said person can activate said electronic means.
Depicted diagrammatically in FIG. 1 of the appended drawing is a known device, for controlling access to a motor vehicle, which works by the recognition of a code emitted by a badge 1 worn by a person wishing to enter the vehicle. The badge 1 has an electronic circuit for emitting this code, but this emission is not permanent, in order to save the electric battery that powers the circuit. The circuit is activated on reception of a signal emitted by the antenna 2 of electronic means 3 comprising a computer, which means are placed in the vehicle and are capable of recognizing the code emitted in return by the badge 1 so as to allow or deny the person in question access to the vehicle. These electronic means 3 are themselves activated by this person, by pressing the button of a switch 4 placed on the door 5 of the vehicle, near to a handle such as a lever handle 6 for opening this door, this handle being articulated to this door at 6.
This button has the drawback of being visible and it may therefore be desirable to conceal it within the bodywork, it then being actuated via the lever handle 6. This handle makes it possible, via a linkage 7 depicted very diagrammatically in the figure, to withdraw a bolt 8 from a keeper 9 to allow the door 5 to be opened, as long as a pin 10 that immobilizes the bolt 8 is disengaged from a notch 11 formed in this bolt. Obviously, it is the electronic means 3 which cause this disengagement, with the aid of an electromagnet 12, for example, when the code emitted by the badge is such that the person wearing this badge is authorized to enter the vehicle.
The following difficulty is encountered when provision is made for the actuation of the switch 4 to be mechanically coupled to the actuation of the lever handle 6 for opening the door: a pulling action exerted on the lever handle 6 by a person who wants to get into the vehicle has the effect of bringing the pin 10 into abutment against a flank of the notch 11, creating substantial friction between these two parts. If then the means 3, having recognized and accepted the code emitted by the badge 1, energize the electromagnet 12 to disengage the pin 10 from the bolt 8 and thus allow the door 5 to be opened, this friction may prevent the disengagement of the pin and the door then remains closed. In order to overcome this, the person may then release his pulling action on the lever handle 6 so as to reduce the bolt/pin friction and allow these two components to disengage. This additional maneuver is, however, an irksome task which it is desirable to eliminate.
The object of the present invention is precisely to provide a device for controlling access, particularly to a motor vehicle, which, while not resorting to the presence of a visible switch button on the bodywork near to a door handle, ensures that the pin is disengaged in the event of recognition and acceptance of the code emitted by the badge, before a pulling force exerted manually on the lever handle 6 can create an amount of friction between this pin and the lock bolt that cannot be overcome by the means used for disengaging the pin.
This object of the invention, together with others which will become clear from reading the description which will follow, are achieved with a device of the type described in the preamble of this description, noteworthy in that the means of activating the electronic means are designed to allow there to be a dialog between said electronic means and the circuit worn or carried by the person, and to allow any unlocking of the lock bolt to occur before the action exerted by said person on said handle causes the pin to become stuck by friction in said notch of the lock bolt.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will become clear from reading the description which will follow and from examining the appended drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic depiction of an access-control device of the prior art described in the preamble of this description, of the type improved by the present invention, and
FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic depiction of one embodiment of the activating means incorporated into the device according to the invention, these means being designed to take the place of the switch button 4 of the device of FIG. 1.
So, according to the present invention, the switch button 4 of the device of FIG. 1 is replaced by activating means which, in the embodiment depicted diagrammatically in FIG. 2, take the form of an array 13 of switches 141 electrically connected in parallel between two conductors 151, 152. Advantageously, these switches are of the type which are incorporated into so-called "flexible" keypads of calculators or other computer-type machines. It is known that these switches are therefore formed of tracks of conductive ink screen-printed onto two flexible backing sheets that face each other, according to the design depicted in FIG. 2, for example, a switch being closed by local pressure on the two sheets, using a finger.
According to the invention, the array 13 is arranged on the internal face 16 of the door lever handle 6 (see FIG. 1) and the conductors or tracks 151 and 152 are connected to the electronic means 3 in place of the conducters 41, 42 associated with the switch button 4 of the device of FIG. 1.
In this position, the array 13 remains invisible from outside the vehicle, in accordance with one of the objectives of the invention. The presence of a number of switches 141, aligned horizontally for example, ensures that at least one of the switches will close when the lever handle 6 is grasped, irrespective of the positions of the fingers of the hand on the array. Finally, and above all, the almost instant closure, under very slight pressure, of one of the switches of the array 13 of the flexible keypad type ensures that the dialog between the computer 3 and the badge 1, which dialog precedes the disengagement of the pin 10 when the code emitted by the badge is recognized by the computer 3, takes place in full before the pulling force exerted by the hand on the lever handle 6 has brought the bolt 8 into abutment against the pin 10 (in the time of about 100 ms) and created so much friction between this bolt and this pin that the electromagnet 12 cannot disengage the pin from the bolt.
Of course, the invention is not restricted to the embodiment described and depicted, which has been given merely by way of example. Thus, the switches of the array of FIG. 2 may be replaced by other means capable of initiating the computer/badge dialog just as swiftly, such as capacitive-effect switches or an infrared radiation detector, etc, etc. It would also be possible to establish sufficient delay in the creation of pin/bolt friction at the time of disengagement of the bolt, using purely mechanical means, such as a spring that would stiffen the maneuvering of the lever handle so as to cause it to pivot more slowly, or by establishing an initial dead travel in the linkage connecting the lever handle to the bolt 8.
Finally, although the invention is more specifically intended to equip motor vehicle doors, it is clear that it has applications wherever access to a space is to be reserved for authorized persons: industrial or commercial premises, banks, etc.
