For Project B, that utilizes the Personal Style Inventory, I choose my boyfriend, Cameron. The Personal Style Inventory gave information that distinguished the similarities and the differences between my boyfriend and I in different aspects, such as both of us preferring extraversion versus introversion. Before completing the Personal Style Inventory, I already felt like my boyfriend and I had pretty dramatic differences in our personalities. As we completed the Personal Style Inventory, I discovered that we did have some differences and none of the scores were really close to each other. In each of the scales, our scores went in opposite directions. My boyfriend, Cameron, and I have been together for almost five years now and there has been a clear difference between the way we think. From the Personal Style Inventory, I discovered that I am a more “thinking” person and he is a more “feeling” person. This really describes our personalities because he says that I can be a little unemotional sometimes and I see that in myself when we deal with issues. For example, when we were choosing what colleges to go, he choose a school in Memphis, TN, then wanted to be closer to me when we were apart for our first semester. He wasn’t focused on finding a school that was best for what he needed, as far as his major or his career path. I believe part of him stills wants to be close to me and stay here at UTC for the wrong reasons, and I do not think it is best for him and his future.
The researcher chose this project because the different reasons people conform to someone or something’s standards interests the researcher greatly. The person running this experiment would like to
Number 2, critical or quarrelsome. I marked Richard very low for this, he agrees with others or will completely stay out of the conversation to avoid any quarrel. he is good natured, forgiving, gullible, and helpful. Before he started dating me, he would never assert himself during conversations, or have a strong opinion in fear of turning someone off. He would also pay for everything, even his friends lunch, which they expected paid every time. I marked him very low, but I believe this has been an area where he is improving as far as self respect and assertiveness. Again Richard’s insecurities or doubting himself really came out during the Self Data Report, when he took the Ten-Item Personality Inventory, TIPI (Gosling, Rentfrow, &Swann, 2003). I didn’t tell him any information about the test except how to take it. When he was done I started looking over the results, and of course i started to disagree with him, which is very much apart of my personality. Below is two pictures displaying our
It is difficult, but also very healthy in relational maintenance for a couple to accept the differences in each other. Accepting that your partner would not be, as you want them. This is very important because after that couples will stop having unrealistic expectations. Unfortunately, in all couples interviewed, there are expectations the partner will change. Overall, couples also tend to hold on to the unrealistic expectation that their partner will one day change to what they expect the other person to be.
The key tension for our relationship is the aspect of stability-change: predictability versus novelty. Most relationships when they start tend to gloss over less-desirable personality traits or behaviors. Overtime however, people may have more difficulty accepting each other as they are; one partner may try to change the
Who would have believed, when I met you 12 years ago, we would be discussing attending college together? Our relationship has evolved since we started out; Seeing each other an hour a day, 3 days a week, just wouldn't be enough now.
During the summer, I began dating this beyond wonderful boy a few years older than me, knowing full well that he’d be leaving for college and I’d be leaving to visit family in Boston in less than 3 weeks, and on top of that, I’d probably doom the relationship early due to my need to control everything, cynical outlook and fear of commitment, but I decided I had to go for it because I knew that in order to have a well-rounded life full of different experiences and genuine connections, I had to risk losing control over everything and have to care about someone else more than my own feelings.
You should not alter who you're for a hairstyle. The truth is, if you're in a position keep your style, and to preserve this hairstyle, folks will be difficult to figure, and interested in you, since they will find you cryptic. Today, you can find girls that enjoy guys with long hair, since long hair is uncommon between guys plus they will likely enjoy you more.
1. I have taken the initiative to, as the textbook suggested, go online to http://www.personalitytest.org.uk/ and take the five-factor personality test. The assessment scored my personality as follows:
When these opinions and expectations about your partner differ now and then in real life, it can either leave you thrilled or depressed. This means that, some might consider these differences as interesting twists to their relationship while others may see them as potential deal breakers to having their relationship go forward.
People started to tell me I’m changing and would say “ that boy is no good for you” or “Damn Kashanna, do you have time for other people other than him? “ NOPE!” was always my response. We finally moved in together and woooooo! I thought I was doing something but what I didn’t know is that I had gotten myself into hell. When we moved in together everything to me was just fine until I started noticing change in him. He would come home late, always blame me for all the problems we started having, come home and go straight to sleep, and even sleep on the couch at times. I guess not living with him he had all the freedom and I didn’t get to nag as much as I did
Through the course of my research I have been studying and taking notes on my coworkers and I have found many traits in day to day converse that are included in the studies of this class. The group in particular that I have been analyzing has many expected and unexpected qualities amongst all members in the group. I evaluated two girls and two boys and they all have many of the same traits such as; they value their job, they speak formally with management and informally with customers, they are optimistic and they care about their hygiene. Though they have many of the same qualities, they pose them at different levels. Some qualities I found not of just the individual but of the entire group that I
Their second study the researchers continued to use a between-subjects design, however using a different sample size of 53 participants. In their first study the researchers found an issue with confederates treating participants differently even if they were not aware of it, so in order to eliminate this experimenters
My boyfriend and I are very different; however, we have similar things in common. We equally love to watch movies, all sorts of movies, love to eat out because we do not cook; also, we have the same model car (Altima). What is different between us is our personality, jobs and goals.
Relationships change over time as both partners mature and develop as different yet similar personalities. This means that all couples go through difficult phases as they adjust to the newly emerged individualities of themselves and their partner.
When asked on how they see themselves in 5 years’ time, both of them similarly answered by saying they want to have a stable job with enough savings for their marriage and future. This itself shows their commitment in the relationship as they even went on to think about marriage which is about 10 years from now. Furthermore when asked how they are maintaining their relationship, both of them pointed out the qualities of their relationship on how they are so honest to on another, having
