When meeting others, the observations I make are immediate. I often assign traits and characteristics to them without being conscious of the fact that I am doing so. How I react to them – and whether or not I desire another interaction with them – is dependent on these assignments. The characteristics I admire in myself, and the attributes that I observe in others form these assessments. The Role Construct Repertory Test allowed me to recognize what traits I value in others, understand my personal constructs, and given me insight into my own cognitions. The completion of this test was fairly easy to accomplish, though, sometimes I only had a sense – or, better yet, I only had a feeling – of how two individuals were related, and the other was different. On occasion, finding the exact term to describe how they were similar, and how the other was divergent required some thought. For example, when comparing Mrs. Westgate, Andrea, and Amanda, I had a vague sense that Mrs. Westgate and Andrea were related, and Amanda was unrelated, but I could not immediately determine what made them similar or different. I finally settled on the descriptor “strict” for Mrs. Westgate and Andrea, and “reserved” for Amanda after I recalled and analyzed numerous past interactions with them. Another difficulty that arose was defining these commonalities or differences for myself. For example, when developing my self-constructs on a separate piece of paper, I used the term “flexible”. This term held

Officer Wheeler and I were in full police uniform driving a marked patrol unit when we responded.
Characteristic theorists consider personality to be a steady and persevering example of conduct. They depict our disparities as opposed to attempting to clarify them. Utilizing component examination, they distinguish bunches of conduct propensities that happen together. Hereditary inclinations impact numerous attributes.
In this summary I will present the parallels I discovered between the results of my assessment and the personality traits I feel I possess. I will also present my strengths and weaknesses as they relate to each personality type code, E, N, F, and J, and how my preferences in how I think and behave, can both positively and negatively impact my environment.
In describing what personalities are like, Kelly abandons the classical threefold division of psychological phenomena: cognition, affection and conation (Kelly, 1955, p.130). Instead, he formulates his own personality theory with a single structure named "Construct". In this section, let's review the concept of construct and some of its features.
When our lives become hectic, we often don’t find enough time to stop and think. We work, we study, we move on with our daily lives. However, sometimes it’s nice to actually stop and observe ourselves from a different perspective, even if it’s only for a few minutes a week. This course, l believe, has given me the opportunity to sit down and actually think about my own personal experiences and what it meant to me. The fact that l was able to connect the concept of our chapters with my own personal example and experience, had actually helped me gather more knowledge on the topic. If there was one positive thing that l can take away from this course, it’s that it helped me gain more self-awareness. This course gave me the opportunity to talk
I am very proud of myself for completing my master’s degree this past May. This is my highest educational accomplishment thus far. Also, I feel blessed for my job as a Spanish teacher at Jackson Elementary. Working in a Title I school district has given me the chance to develop new strategies and skills to meet of disadvantaged, at-risk students. Nonetheless, one of my aspirations is also to be an ESL teacher, so I can help English language learners and assist new immigrants with their acculturation process. Additionally, one of my goals is to obtain my Ph.D. with an emphasis in ESL so that I can be properly trained to assist my school district with programs to significantly improve the program for ELLs in my school
The study of individual differences in psychologically has clinical, experimental and psychometric traditions (Butt 2004). Each person varies greatly to the next, but also each of us sees a person in a different light. Trait theory can be defined in a way of discussing personality, and is based on an experimental approach. The phenomenological perspective also describes individual differences, and this is demonstrated by Personal Construct Theory (PCT). This essay will begin by describing trait theory and PCT, and comparing the two theories.
The first and the best lesson I got when I was a student in college is that whether we are in class or not, each day is a lesson independent from anyone else. As I go ahead toward my objective, I have developed and adapted such a great amount during the time to this point. Since I wind up noticeably youthful grown-up, integrity was not something I got just as support from my folks yet in addition anticipated. I went to the full comprehension behind the significance after I turn into an understudy. There were times when I confront the danger of losing and giving up my integrity. In any case, these sorts of circumstance are the one that causes you to hang on the esteem and comprehend the genuine significance behind the word. It intends to be consistent with one's self-esteem and convictions. This prompts ask an answer in regards to life and its advantages, which comes as a bundle including training and genuine involvement with Belmont. Lessons don't begin and end in the class, yet rather extend past or more. There is no limit or point of confinement to people longing to learn, ask and obtain more information.
The writing I did this semester for Engl 110c has meant alot to me because I was able to pick a topic that has such a huge impact in my life. I was able to do the topic about Navy Wives, which has a huge impact on me. I recently became a navy wife a year ago and my life has changed drastically. I was able to share everything I wanted to about the life of a military wife through my writings, as well as share to my classmates about my topic. I really enjoyed creating my ePortfolio because I could come out of my shell and be me. I made a ePortfolio website that would be for military wives to read. I believe this website would be perfect for any military wife reading it. I was able to give tips and information on what it’s like to be a military wife, how to prepare for deployments and how to stay strong being a military wife.
Last semester, in one of my classes, I was required to write a letter to God. I do not remember the exact words, but I do remember telling Him that I do make a lot of mistakes and I struggle with issues that Christians should not be dealing with. I told God that I am not sure that I am the type of Christian that others should look up to. Although I knew the Word, I prayed often and never missed church, I still felt a void on the inside of me. I often compared myself to Hannah. I felt a barrenness on the inside of me and I did not know how to fill it. On top of the spiritual emptiness I felt, I also had to deal with emotional stress. When I started attending Regent University, I had several fears that tried to prevent me from proceeding. First, I feared my status as a double minority in a field that is predominantly male would prevent many doors from being open to me regardless of my academic ability. Secondly, I feared having a background in engineering and not biblical studies would put me at a great disadvantage in my classes regardless of my knowledge of the Bible. Whenever someone asked me a question, I would have an answer, but I was not sure if I gave the right answer because I was never licensed as a minister as a pastor. My role within the church was as a server. I cooked, I cleaned, I played with the children, I visited people, I hugged people, I sewed and I loved working with my hands. In fact, I was the one who usually served the pastors and I loved my work. In
The system consistently fills silence in a timely manner, so by the time I’ve worked up the courage to say something I’m hesitant to, the conversation has frequently moved on. I can’t quite figure out how to word it, but there’s also something kinda artificial about the system that stops me from actually feeling things. It feels like the system doesn’t really connect to peoples’ emotions. One interpretation for this feeling is that people express vulnerabilities or try to connect with those doing so, they’re not doing it entirely because they want to, but partially because it’s expected and encouraged. Another is that we just haven’t really bonded with each other and are just forcing it.No matter the reason, I have a hard time feeling emotion in class, which completely kills my desire to be vulnerable.
Throughout my life, I have turned to the Bible for guidance and understanding. My mother encouraged me to be involved with the church. Two previous experiences that impacted my life included learning that no age limit applies to God’s kingdom, and my future is planned.
This week I participated in a individual class exercise for my communications class. The exercise was to find personality and identity traits about myself. First I will identify specific traits that were similar in three appraisals. Second I will discuss differences in appraisals. Finally, I will describe what accounts for differences and similarities, and what it illustrates about how well we know ourselves.
In the Organizational Behavior class (BMAL 500), I took a personality test online and found out that my personality type is Extravert- Sensing- Thinking- Judging (ESTJ), although I had a marginal preference of extraversion over introversion. Basically in certain situations I can be either an extravert or introvert. I like structure and am very organized. I tend to cope pretty well with the stressors of life and do not allow stress to bog me down. My supervisor would describe me as dependable.
Human beings are unique with their particular traits. Each person is constructed from various characteristics, which define a person’s personality. Even twins differ at some points. To understand human behaviors, many psychologists conducted surveys and models to classify personalities into categories. For example, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) by psychologist Carl Jung is a popular personality inventory, which contains characteristics grouped into four scales of opposite poles: 1. Extroversion (E) / Introversion (I), 2. Sensing (S) / Intuition (N), 3. Thinking (T) / Feeling (F), 4. Judging (J) / Perceiving (P). Readers will answer 64 questions to find out what his or her personality is, and then has a general idea about what kind of work that person should fit. I myself have taken some surveys about human behaviors. Based on the surveys and my own subjective consciousness, I consider that the three key characteristics which make up most of my behaviors and attitude are responsibility, detail orientation, and judgment.
