Congratulations! You’ve made it to Module Eight. Since your first discussion, you have been exposed to new ideas and learned about many different theories and traditions in the study of personality. You have applied these theories in a variety of contexts from the personal to the workplace or classroom. Now, let’s look back on your first discussion post of this course where you created your own theory of personality based on your own observation and life experiences and see how your thoughts might be different or where your intuition was confirmed.
For your initial post, we will answer the same questions presented to you in Module One. Create a theory that reflects your growth in this course by answering the following questions in about 10 to 15 sentences.
How can you observe personality?
Where does personality come from?
What is the value of studying personality in yourself and others?
Is personality changeable? Does it shift over time?
Have your thoughts and opinions changed from the beginning of the course? Why or why not?
If your thoughts have changed, share what theories or theorists had the most impact on you.
Next, describe how studying personality connects to one of the following programmatic themes:
Self-care
Social justice
Emotional intelligence
Career connections
Ethics
Remember to respond to two peers while being respectful of and sensitive to their viewpoints. Consider advancing the discussion in the following ways:
Post an article, video, or additional research to reinforce a peer’s idea or challenge them to see their point from a different perspective.
Consider asking a content-relevant question or discussing your own personal experiences.
Emotional intelligence
The ability to read others will greatly affect how you deal with them. You don’t need to be a top-notch person to figure out someone`s personality. You can observe one`s personality by creating a baseline. People have different quirks and patterns of behavior. For example, they might scratch their head, squint, or jiggle their feet frequently. Everyone has certain likes, dislikes, quirks and idiosyncrasies – all the qualities that make up your personality, the things that make you you. That everyone has unique personalities makes life more interesting (or, sometimes, more difficult). Much of personality comes from your parents. In fact, for humans, about half of the differences in personality are genetic. The rest of the variability in personality comes from your environment, such as life experiences and birth order.
Short Story: Crushing on a Girl Named Evangeline I contemplated his face and attempted to comprehend his thought. “She looks startling yet I think we are not trackers, and I realize her sister better, I don’t ponder it. I am on a table I utilized a fork to play with and constrained the fork down, Deane shook his head, “I don’t have the foggiest idea whether it’s a smart thought to be near only you, when you contact her sam you See how it responds. I am 13 years of age. I began to look all starry eyed at my closest companion, she just disclosed to me she was obsessed with her football crew young lady. My heart is shaking – I am not obsessed with straight young ladies! I composed an anecdote around a 13 – year – elderly person who thought of a rich, sentimental ungainly, broken love article. She isn’t conversing with me any more. We are not telling it in our yearly family camp travel month. This is humiliating; we see each other quietly and consent to profess to be companions. I feel genuine kinship as she misses my organization. Perhaps she did it. She let me go through the night with a camper which I once utilized, I said as much, and she didn’t hold down expectation, what it implies. Another companion joined As a rule, she discusses my granddad. At the point when he rests in an alternate room, she talks like a kid when highly contrasting or on the TV and the other is flickering. Like a middle school young lady who is fixated on her, let her grin and become flushed, talk about him, and keep in touch with her name close to her last name over and over. What’s more, I might want to know how two individuals who have hitched for a long time can adore each other without a doubt. In what capacity can my grandma overpower my granddad obviously along these lines? My closest companion additionally encountered similar difficulties. From the start she believed that she was straight similar to me. At that point I am wild about young ladies. At that point I believed that she is promiscuous. At that point I experienced passionate feelings for different young ladies (same young lady, this is my subsequent young lady, she is acceptable at getting eyes). At that point I feel that she isn’t swinger yet gays. At that point there are numerous different things that makes her first mindful of her that she is right. For some LGBTQ young people, this is frequently the manner in which it is. The hetero world in which we live is revealing to us that we are mystery, we are mixed up, evil, yet we need to be gay. Clearly, these are false. Yet, that doesn’t mean we have no effect. We and numerous others are befuddled, terrified and uncomfortable for our prevailing society. A significant number of us are not in any event, thinking, and we may not be simple until we get old and experience interest with a similar sex.
