In order to figure out our personalities and who we are as an individual, we use
personality theories, such as psychodynamic and psychoanalytic, humanistic, trait,
social-cognitive, and positive psychology, to determine it. Psychoanalytic and psychodynamic
puts emphasis on our childhood memories and how our unconscious mind functions. Humanistic
theories focus on the potential for healthy personal growth. Trait theories is a characteristic
pattern of behavior or a disposition to feel and act, as assessed by self-report inventories and peer
reports. Social-cognitive views behavior as influenced by the

A majority of research indicates that the NEO-Personality Inventory-Revised test is most applicable to the clinical field of applied psychology and the Myer-Briggs Type Indicator is most applicable to the workplace and industry field. These findings suggest that the NEO-Personality Inventory-Revised test is more useful as a measurement of personality in the psychological field.

Analysis of the article “Sociocultural Considerations in the Assessment of
Personality Disorders”
The critical thinking article titled “Sociocultural Considerations in the Assessment of Personality
Disorders” discusses an issue pertinent to our society today, which I have also experienced personally.
The article talks about how cultural norms of individual people should be considered when determining
whether or not certain behaviours are abnormal. This becomes very important when differences between
cultures are brought up. Some major contrast seen between society is the focus on collectivism or
individualism. What is seen as normal in one society, such as being assertive in the United

While some introverts in certain social situations become extrovert in other situations (Cervone & Pervin, 2010). A personality psychologist’s job is to distinguish and explain patterns of an individual’s psychological functioning, and the observed patterns that stick out overtime and during certain situations (Cervone & Pervin, 2010). Distinctive is when personality psychology focus on the psychological factors that separates individual’s from one another (Cervone & Pervin, 2010). For example

When it comes down to it, we all are unique, hence we too have strengths and abilities that others visualize and cherish. I believe my three strongest strengths and or abilities are being very motivated, good at soccer, and being a good listener.First, being a very motivated individual is strength of mine that I cherish the most.

Does Freud’s Theory or Trait Approach best explain personality?
Personality is commonly thought to be characteristics that reflects an individual’s attitude and
behaviour. This gives a brief overview of some of the issues that are touched upon regarding
personality from empirical psychological research. One definition of personality is ‘a particular
pattern of behaviour and thinking that prevails across time and situations and differentiates one
person from another.’ Freud, one of the most prominent figures of twentieth century psychology,
was the first to claim that behaviours were irrational and were largely due to the machination of the
unconscious. Psychodynamic was the term coined for

In this paper I would like to describe this “big 5 project personality test” and how it made me feel or react in some way. This test was a good one because it had so many different varieties of questions it has to ask you it really does make you think about a lot of stuff. Like how well of a person you truly are or rather if you’re the kind of person who is not caring or which and it really had me going, more of actually thinking rather than just answer a simple question about my own self.
As it showed the first categories of closed minded and open to new experiences. It showed me as a closed minded person. Now that ive done the test and ive

Introduction
An effective leader is a firm’s visionary; they are clear as to what the direction of the organisation is and can devise strategies in order to push it to survive and grow. It is therefore vital that a leader is able to motivate the employees around them, as they are fundamentally the roots to any firm’s success.

Personality is the mixture of qualities and characteristics that shape us as who we are. Every human being has a certain personality, which makes them unique. According to the personality test, I have a defender personality. The Defender personality has characteristics such as supportive, patient, observant, hard-working, organized and responsible. Most of my actions in life reflect all these qualities. Being supportive can be titled as one of the greatest characteristics one can have. It makes a person capable of working on a team. It gives them the intensity to share their knowledge and experience with

and assets. A leader should not expect each person on the team to excel in every area instead focus on motivating the team to be their best selves. I feel it is a duty of the leader to create a diverse group of people who balance and complement one another in every phase. So it’s the duty of the leader to create an environment which is oriented to trust, open to communication, creative thinking, and cohesive teamwork.
Who is the best leader that you know and what makes him/her so effective? Do you possess any of these qualities?
The best leader I know would undoubtedly be Steve Jobs, he’s a great personality and his life is a great example for many budding entrepreneurs.

Obsessive compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) is a mental disorder that involves obsessions with perfection, organization, and rules that can lead to behaviors that impair their daily life. Categorized as a “Cluster C” personality disorder, patients experience high levels of anxiety with these obsessions while feeling that their way of thinking is beneficial and necessary (“Personality Disorders,” 2016). They are often happy with how they are and deny that they need treatment while their behaviors cause them to be easily stressed and

Many Holocaust survivors consider the night of November 9-10, 1938, the night of Kristallnacht, to be the true beginning of the Holocaust.

Nazis arrested 30,000 people in Germany and killed 91 German Jews. Anti-Semitism in Germany had been prevalent for the first five years of Nazi rule, from 1933-1938.

Abstract
Ever since borderline personality disorder (BPD) was added to the DSM-III in 1980, a great deal of research and studies have emerged on this illness. BPD is a mental illness that tends to mimic other traits of mental illnesses, such as narcissistic, anti-social, and bipolar personality disorders. John Gunderson, who is a professor of psychiatry, published a book in 1975 to help further research and diagnose BPD patients. Gunderson and one of his colleagues
